'Old Master Han was present there in the celebration party'

That was the text which was sent to Jun Zixuan by Steward Gu.

Following it were a trail of pictures in which Yu Mei could see an old man standing at a far distance from the crowd. One would not notice it if they did not see it closely.

Jun Zixuan frowned.

''I don't have good feelings about people with surname,'' Yu Mei handed the phone to Jun Zixuan.

Jun Zixuan glanced at the picture before looking at her quietly.

''Who is he?" Yu Mei asked, shifting on his lap slightly such that she was leaning closer to him. She ran her fingers through his hair.

''Han Jingyi's grandfather.''

''Han Jingyi...Li Shuang's cousin whom she calls cake face...Hmm, I remember her,'' She blinked at him, ''She is your fiancee arranged by the Jun Family.''

''It's her,'' Jun Zixuan nodded before he placed a soft kiss on her collarbone, feeling her stiffen under the touch of his lips, ''You are my darling. What are you sounding jealous for?''

''Sweet talker,'' She poked his cheek, ''I was wondering why no one choose me. Your paternal family chose Han Jingyi to be your future wife and mother-in-law settled you with Yu Mei Zhen. I was thinking it would have been really good if I was your fiance.''

''What are you thinking about? I am with you. You are with me. It's all that matters,'' He bit her chin.

''Ow-'' She glared at him and another bizarre thought came in her mind, ''At times, I feel guilty about Yu Mei Zhen. The real one.''

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes for a moment before letting out a soft sigh, ''Don't. You didn't kill her. She was attempting suicide and she succeeded in it. That's it.''

''You hate her...'' She mumbled.

''I despised her,'' Jun Zixuan glanced at her emotionless, there was not even a hint of pity in his eyes and his expressions were cold, ''Initially when I married her, she only had to give her signature to Steward Gu. We never met neither did she know my name as Steward Gu had completed the procedures. I didn't hate her initially. I had nothing to do with her. I let her stay in the Ren Mansion, handed her a card and told her to live her life like she wants without trying to play the wife or Young Mistress...''

Jun Zixuan was not used to disrespecting woman but he knew that he would end up doing it if he stayed with Yu Mei Zhen under one roof when she started her schemes on him. Everything started slow but in two days he found the intensity of her tactics increasing. In two days, she was all tantrums and bratty. Without saying anything, he moved over to his condominium but then she started threatening him with her life, slitting wrists, writing blood stained letters...

''The day Mom called me back for marriage, I was going to propose you,'' Jun Zixuan confessed and Yu Mei froze

''On our graduation day?" She glanced at him quietly.

He nodded.

''I...That day...'' She hesitated.

He glanced at her, ''Tell me what you are trying to say,'' He cupped her face.

''That day...I waited for 6 hours in the university for you. Mu Shen told me that you won't be coming before he left but...'' Yu Mei paused, ''I thought...you will come. You promised me you will be there. After that day, I looked for you everywhere. I hired a private investigator without letting my brother know about all this.''

The graduation day was a disappointment to her as he did not come but she thought he was in some problem. Mu Shen remained quiet about it.

Days, weeks passed and months flew by but she never stopped looking for him until she saw Mu Shen's wechat moments one day where he posted a picture of him and Jun Zixuan. And only then did she realized that, nothing really happened with him. He just disappeared from her life on his own accord and he probably did not want to see...her.

For a long time, she wondered what went wrong exactly?

''I am sorry,'' Jun Zixuan cupped her face, ''I will never leave you again,'' He placed a soft kiss on her forehead, his heart ached at what she went through.

He never expected her to go to such extents to look for him. He wanted to talk to her but he would not what to say. There was nothing left.

She smiled, ''Of course, you won't. You can't,'' Her gaze flew back to the picture on his phone.

He followed her gaze, ''Are you thinking the same as me?"

She glanced at him, ''Are they...related to our family. Hans...?"

''I will investigate if they are the same.''

''No,'' Yu Mei shook her head, ''As long as they don't come to me, let's not do anything.''

''They killed you,'' Jun Zixuan's lips thinned.

It did not matter if she did not want to taint her hands with blood. He will do the dirty job for her.

''I wanted revenge initially,'' Yu Mei frowned, ''But...''

''What's wrong?"

''Brother had lost the memories from his childhood and I was too young to remember what happened back then. We just had a jade with us with 'Han' carved on it and behind the jade, our names were carved 'Han Mei and Han Jian Yu' and he named me after it but we had decided that we won't look for them...'' She paused for a moment, ''After I woke up in this body, I tried to look for brother and when I found him, I realized that he has changed in some ways...''

Jun Zixuan's brows tugged together, ''And you are assuming that he has regained his memory.''

''I didn't say it aloud. How do you know?'' She glanced at him doubtfully.

The corner of his lips tugged up as he tightened his grip around her before leaning closer to her, ''That's because. I quite seem to know how to read your body and your face,'' He spoke beside her ear.
