Married to his secret crush

The next morning, Steward Gu looked at the time before heaving a deep sigh. It was almost 9 am and given how punctual his master was, he must be coming downstairs at any moment.

Before he comes down for breakfast, the man decided to call Yu Mei first so that the couple won't start another war over something. The less they clash, the better it was for the rest of the organisms in the house.

As he walked upstairs, he knocked on the door to her room, "Miss Yu…" he called out but there was no response.

"Miss Yu…" He knocked again, considering whether he should open the door or not.

But just as he was about to push the door open, he hesitated at the last moment... After all, how could he, as a man, enter a girl's bedroom without her permission?

So, he knocked again.

Inside the room.

The constant knocking on the door woke her up. She grunted before pressing her palm on her ear.

"Stop it…" She whispered in frustration.

"Miss Yu…It's 9 am. Are you not awake yet?"

"It's only 9 am. What are you shouting for…" She mumbled softly, "Wait…What is the time?" As the realization struck her mind, she opened her eyes hurriedly only to find herself sleeping on the floor.

Her body has gone limp with her rigid sleeping posture. There were two consecutive knocks on the door again and she realized that the door was soundproof.

She squinted slightly to adjust her vision to the glaring sunlight. As she looked at the time, her eyes widened.

She stood up from the floor with the support of the wall. But just as she was about to open the door, something caught her attention.

The thick stench of blood in the room.

The white floor was a bloody mess. Even when she was sleeping near the door, there was a lot of dried blood near the bed.

As she looked down at her pajama, the left side of her body was drenched with blood, sticking closer to her body.

How did she not die after bleeding this much? It was the first question that came to her mind.

She raised her palm to look at her wound but her palm was crystal clear with no hint of injuries.

'Knock Knock.'

Taking a deep breath she opened the door but only half of her face was visible outside.

"Don't disturb me right now. I need some space," she calmly said.

Steward Gu was confused, "Miss Yu, why do you look so pale?" His nose twitched when it caught a stench that invaded his nostrils.

"I have not slept properly," She closed the door on his face, not letting him interrogate her further.

As she heard the sound of retreating footsteps, she leaned back on the door only to feel an obstruction.

Her brows furrowed and she slowly extended her hand toward the back of her waist. As her hand came in contact with the thing on her back, she could feel the soft and furry sensation on her palm.

She tugged at it trying to remove the thing that was clinging to her night suit but it only bounced back clinging closer to her body.

She unbuttoned her shirt hastily before holding it in her hand.

As she looked at the little creature sticking to her shirt, she staggered a few steps back.

As Jun Zixuan sat on the head chair of the dining table, Steward Gu walked towards the man.

"She didn't come?"

Steward Gu shook his head, "Miss Yu seems to be very unhappy about you moving in here. She even asked a servant to take her in as a tenant. She refuses to eat anything."

"Let her starve then. This is my house, anyways," Jun Zixuan said nonchalantly, feeling a little awkward at being treated like a virus for the first time in his life.

And that too, by the same woman who would do anything to get his attention.

"But Master, she didn't have her dinner yesterday…"

"Why?"

Steward Gu cleared his throat, "She said she doesn't give a damn about you. So, I think….she hates to see you. Master, I…I think I smelt blood in her room. But I am not sure…"

Jun Zixuan stood up from the chair, "Blood?" True enough, this woman would never spare her tricks.

He immediately made his way upstairs. He knocked on the door, "Yu Mei Zhen, open the door," His cold voice rang out on the first floor making all the servants curious.

But everybody continued doing their works rather than gathering there. Who knows if they will incur the man's wrath.

When there was no response from inside, Jun Zixuan kicked the door open before stepping inside the room.

Yu Mei was sitting on the bed with her head leaning against the bed rest as she casually read a comic book. This was the scene that greeted him.

The pleasant scent of Chanel perfume in the room could not be any more obvious.

He looked around but there was nothing amiss other than her deathly pale face.

She raised her head to look at him, "You seem to be lacking manners given that you barge inside a woman's room like that."

"I knocked," He narrowed his eyes, "You did not respond."

She closed the comic book before keeping it on the bedside table. Pushing the blanket a little higher, she looked at him, "Am I supposed to open the door when you want me to?" She smirked derisively, "Your voice makes me so sick that I'd rather not see your face and vomit to death."

He glared at the woman before taking a few steps towards her, "The sight of me makes you sick? You didn't say that when you were inclined to self-harming just to get my attention and affection."

She choked. Previous owner, previous owner, you left me in a pickle here!

"My eyes were pretty defective back then," She blinked her starry eyes at him, "I went to the ophthalmologist recently and my view of the world is clearing up right now.''

"You…"
