Chapter 264 - In The Swimming Pool
??
Well, now her father-in-law and mother-in-law have all the sufficient space for bonding. She hoped everything works out between them.
Her gaze accidentally landed on the suit jacket on the other side of the bed. She stood up from the bed before looking around the room.
"Zixuan, are you back?" She stepped inside the walk-in closet but there was no one inside.
She walked out of the room before stopping a maid, "Have you seen Zixuan?"
The maid glanced at her blankly.
She raised an eyebrow. Was there something on her face?
The maid took a step back before bowing her at a 90 degree angle, "Third Young Mistress, Third Young Master returned 15 minutes ago and he is now inside the swimming pool."
"Uhh…" Yu Mei was speechless. These people surely changed their colors pretty fast. Third Young Mistress, huh? She was liking the sound of it. "Well. Can you lead the way to swimming pool?" She asked. He came back 15 minutes ago that means she was in shower at that time. She hoped he didn\'t here her singing like crazy inside the bathroom.
The maid bowed once again, startling Yu Mei for a second before she turned around and walked like an army cadet, leading the way to swimming pool.
It was only then did Yu Mei realized the impact of what she did. If the servants in this family are acting this way, then what about the rest of the world? How are they coping with the bomb that she dropped on them?
Jun Zihao who was ascending the stairs paused in his tracks when his gaze landed on her retreating back. The embarrassment he and his Grandfather went through today was still rooted in his heart. While they were looking for the Chairman of the World bank, they bumped into Jun Zixuan inside the Eminence headquarters. His grandfather snapped at Jun Zixuan for being at such an important place in front of all the people there but the man was nonchalant as usual.
At that time, he felt something amiss when the employees of Eminence were looking at them with strange gazes but his grandfather was not in the mood to look around as he kept on venting his frustrations of the past few days on Jun Zixuan who did not speak a word to retort. A second later, the person they were looking for…the Chairman of the World Bank ran to Jun Zixuan before bowing to the man subserviently, brown nosing the man.
And only after the reporters barged inside the place encircling Jun Zixuan did they come to know who he was.
At that time, Jun Zihao joined all the dots together. Like how they easily managaed to get past the guards and step inside Eminence headquarter when it is said that not even a fly can get past that place unless the CEO allowed them to.
Jun Zihao realized that despite being called useless, disabled, abnormal, why this half brother of his has always appeared extraordinary to him.
Now, the reputation of their family was gone as everyone knew that the Third Young Master Jun was infact the CEO of Eminence. His grandfather\'s video was circulating all over the news when he was continuously shouting at Jun Zixuan.
But amidst all this, his attention was on something else.
He glanced at Yu Mei. Was that why she chose him? Because of his power and influence? His status and wealth?
But then, during their relationship, why did she hide her identity? During all those years, he knew practically nothing about Han Mei but he was always patient with her hoping that she would one day open up to him about herself. And that day came too when she wanted to take him to meet her brother.
But that was the he day broke up with her when he got to know about his engagement arrangement and now suddenly she came back to his life. But this time with a new identity and as his half brother\'s girlfriend.
No matter how he tried, it was getting impossible for him to stay away from her.
He walked in the direction in which she left.
Near the swimming pool area.
Yu Mei stepped inside as the door closed behind her. Her gaze remained fixated on the man in the water. His strong back muscles flexed when he ran his hands in his damp hair.
"Standing for so long might affect your delicate legs," Jun Zixuan\'s voice snapped her put of her reverie, "How about you sit in front of me and admire the view?\'\' With that asked, he flipped around and effortlessly swam towards the edge before propping his elbows on the floor as he supported his body with them.
His muscles, his abs, everything exposed to her view. She gulped before walking towards him, "Who is admiring you, huh?" She squatted in front of him as her eyes met his.
"I said you were admiring the view but you just confessed that I am the view. Well then..." He sleekly responded much to her embarrassment and in the next second, he placed an arm right below her thighs and the other behind her back.
"What are you doing?" Her eyes widened as he twirled her around before throwing her inside the water.
"You have gotten so cheeky, President Leanne!" Jun Zixuan leaned back on the pool ladder with both his elbow tilted backwards, being supported on it.
She balanced herself before glaring at him. Her anger was momentarily distracted at the sight of those glistening abs, that prominent V line. She gulped, "Y-You are the cheeky one,\'\' She glanced at his face, "I just showered and see what you did.\'\'
