Married to his secret crush

Chapter 288 - A Public Confession



''I welcome you here for the annual anniversary of Eminence. Enjoy yourself,'' His words were precise and his tone was distant as he passed the mic to his bodyguard but the members of the media and the guests in the hall were sure enough to catch the hidden meaning.

'No extra questions'

That's what the man meant.

And they knew that consequences of crossing the line won't be light for them so they retreated, despite their burning curiosity about this matter.

Jun Zixuan's partner?

Mu Shen VS Yu Mei Zhen.

But all they could do was hold back.

Mu Shen's messy private life ensured that their is a possibility that the man might be slightly bent while Yu Mei Zhen was even more bizarre, no one would know what she would do.

She was probably the only woman who would blatantly snap at the media and humiliate them at times.

Jun Zixuan walked towards Mu Shen, followed by his bodyguards, who blocked the guests from coming after him.

Mu Shen pushed a barstool for him as both the friends settled in darkest corner.

''Is it true?" Mu Shen asked after the bartender left after serving them the drinks. ''The Yu and Han thing...''

''What do you think?" Jun Zixuan grabbed a glass of wine.

"Of course, I am believing it no matter how weird it is,'' After all, even Shi Luo has confirmed the fact and he was not blind. The current Yu Mei and Han Mei were like a carbon copy. It's just that previously he never made such a bizarre guess about it.? Mu Shen held his hand, ''Your alcohol tolerance is low.''

The little exchange did not miss the reporters eyes but they pretended not to see it.

Jun Zixuan placed the glass of wine aside, his expressions remained cold.

Mu Shen gulped. Why was he so scary today? ''Where is Yu Mei?" He asked after thinking over it a bit.

Jun Zixuan glanced at him expressionlessly.

''By any chance, does she....'' Mu Shen hesitated. ''...Does she not remember your birthday?"

Jun Zixuan's aloof expression cracked slightly.

Mu Shen gulped again. This was rather explosive. Even though the world is unaware that today not only it is Eminence's annual anniversary, it is also the CEO's birthday, but Yu Mei should know about it, especially since she is Han Mei.

''Bro, I can feel you even though I don't have a girlfriend...?"

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes.

Mu Shen immediately shut up.

Suddenly, a gasp was heard from the entrance...

....And it was followed by another round of gasps as reporters dashed towards the place.

Mu Shen curiously glanced at that direction of the red carpet but he could not see anything properly because of the crowd of reporters, ''Which big shot are they haunting on?" He could see that whoever the person was, there were no bodyguards behind them.

No wonder, these reporters had gotten the chance.

Mu Shen sighed, looking at Jun Zixuan's listless face. ''How about I call her and remind her amount it? I will ask her to wish you.''

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow, ''What are we, five? She will wish me and then I will blow candles after that? Your brain is not developing with your age?" His tone lowered dangerously towards the end.

Mu Shen flinched as he patted his chest where his little heart was residing. This man... is so scary. But still, he appeared pretty immature at this moment, unlike his usual mature self.

Mu Shen held back his urge to laugh before unless he provoked the man even more,

''...Ladies and gentleman, you all know me already so I won't bother with the introductions...''

The cool and soft voice drifted off in the premises of the vast hall.

Mu Shen's smile on his lips froze.

Jun Zixuan stiffened.

Both the men simultaneously raised their heads in the direction of the voice.

And there she was.

Dressed a long burgundy gown, she stood on the stage.

Jun ZIxuan glanced at his suit jacket which had a pocket square burgundy handkerchief that went along with her dress.

This woman...

She smiled.

Hair tied in a high ponytail with slight makeup done...

She looked ethereal.

Yu Mei shifted the microphone to her left hand as she waved at them before looking at the crowd once again, ''To be honest, I have had a little problem since a long time....'' She sighed.

Everyone was curious including the guests. After all, the woman in front of them was one of the richest women in the world. For her to come onto to the stage like this, her issue must be controversial.

''President Leanne, what is bothering you?"

''Is it something serious...?"

''And why were you late for the celebration dinner?" They almost thought that she is not invited but then given her status, how could she not be? Moreover, her relationship with the CEO of Eminence also did not appear ordinary.

"It is something very serious...and pretty incurable,'' She replied to the second question letting out a listless sigh.

All the guests straightened up and more especially the women who could barely hold back their curiosity.

The reporters were on the edge but some of them with hawk like eyes managed to notice the matching outfits of Jun Zixuan and Yu Mei although they did not point it out. It might be coincidence and the man had already given them a small warning. They had no intentions to offend him. So, they could only place their focus on Yu Mei for the time being.

''In fact, I had been crushing over someone since years,'' Yu Mei sighed, ''Only recently did I realize it....''

The crowd gasped as the cameras snapped furiously.

Was it a public confession?

A public confession was nothing new but the person doing it was the CEO of Rosette and that only made this extraordinary. Not to mention that she was doing it on the Celebration dinner of Eminence's annual anniversary that meant the person must be here.

''But things went a little up and down and I could not get the chance to confess my feelings so on this special occasion of his birthday, I would like to do what I have been wanting to do since a long time...'' Yu Mei smiled, ''My special someone, will you please do me the honor of coming here?"
