Married to his secret crush

''Miss Yu…"

Yu Mei glanced towards the man standing in front of the dining table.

She remembered him. It was the same man who came to her room last night along with the nurse appointed to take care of her.

"Yes?" She asked indifferently while making her way towards the dining table.

It would not be an exaggeration if she said that she was dragging herself to walk further ahead. She never imagined walking would be so tough one day.

"You...You are late.." Steward Gu awkwardly said while walking towards the left, giving her the full view of an enviably sexy back that was hidden behind his frame earlier.

He wondered what kind of tragic day was it that Master was home yet Miss Yu did not seem to have any interest to meet him.

All he could think was she was just trying to avoid the consequences of her wrongdoings.

Yu Mei's steps paused for a moment. Because of the angle, she was unable to see someone sitting there before.

Master…It was supposedly how the servants in the mansion addressed him and the only thing the previous Yu Mei Zhen knew about the man who happened to be her husband was that he was powerful.

After Yu Mei Zhen was abandoned by the Yu Family, she was sheltered by her paternal grandmother. The girl tried up every bit of her scheming and plotting to get back to the Yu Family but she failed at it continuously.

But just as she got hope, when her stepbrother returned from abroad, a stranger showed up at her grandmother's place, offering her a deal, a deal of getting married to a rich man.

The previous Yu Mei Zhen could be the most na?ve and innocent girl for her family but to the outside world, she was a schemer.

Someone as smart as her denied the marriage proposal. She believed it to be a fraud.

But things turned out differently when she was shown the picture of the man and was told that this arranged marriage proposal was related to her late mother, her father's mistress, Li Na.

The girl being an infamous idiotic man-chaser accepted the proposal when she was offered a huge sum of money.

She moved into this mansion after getting married but till then she never once saw her supposed husband.

But Yu Mei Zhen, who believed to have fallen in love at first sight with the mysterious man after seeing his picture tried various schemes to attract his attention, which included 'self-harm'.

"Cough…"

Yu Mei snapped out of her thoughts as she glanced at Steward Gu who wore a desperate expression.

She took a seat, never once glancing at the man sitting right in front of her.

The atmosphere around the 10-foot long table was tense as the two people sat on the chair at each end.

'Thud'

The loud sound of something banging on the table caught her attention. She was startled for a moment before looking up, only to find a pair of eyes gazing at her.

For a moment, the intensity of the gaze made her feel like she has been seen through.

She averted her gaze for a moment before looking back at him, this time, not into his eyes, but his face.

And she would be lying if she said her breathing did not hitch for a moment.

She never felt the concept of attraction or love that interesting after her 18th birthday. So, as Han Mei, she died at the age of 23 with 'single' relationship status.

It was not like she has never seen handsome men. Her university friends, her brother's subordinates, her brother, most of the men she knew were top-notch, any girl would die to have a glimpse.

Even if she ignored her family and talked about the elite businessmen and big shots across the globe, the man, supposedly her husband, would be in an entire another league.

'He still looks the same, as handsome as ever,' she thought to herself as she glanced at his handsome face but somehow he was too cold and indifferent, a complete contrast to the personality that she remembered.

He was familiar to her yet his attitude was not. At this moment, he was more like a familiar stranger.

A strange light flickered in her eyes but she masked her expressions before anyone could notice it.

With a look that could split heavens, with the features that seemed to be highlighting god's partiality while carving him, he sat there quietly, unbothered by everything else.

No wonder Yu Mei Zhen fell in love at first sight, just with a look at his picture.

An item like him…cough…a man like him is indeed rare.

"Seen enough?" His voice was deep, alluring, and compatible with his fascinating looks but it was cold, to the point that his tone seemed to be laced with icy thorns, making the temperature drop.

"Nope..Ah...Yes, were you saying something?" she blinked, coming back to her senses as she casually threw the question.

It was not intentional but she wondered if he said something while she was absent-minded.

Steward Gu, for the second time in his life, felt that the girl was quite pitiful.

He gritted his teeth before moving towards the back slowly, he sneakily raised his hand and waved at her, trying to get her attention.

Yu Mei curiously glanced at the man, "Erm...Steward Gu, do you want to say something?" Luckily, she got the girl's memories and got to know how this man was addressed by her.

Before she sorted everything out, these memories will help her survive in between the circle of these strangers.

"_" Was it necessary to do this? I was trying to help you.

Gu Chen immediately shut his mouth up the moment he felt his Master's dark aura.

He put lowered his finger which was pointing towards the iPad kept on the dining table.

He knew it was against his work ethics to interrupt his Master's job but he just felt pity for the poor Miss Yu, who was soon going to suffer from his wrath.
