Li Shuang's face remained as cold as ever as she spoke "Professor, I have issues with the current arrangement. I don't want to seat beside her. I know about the rules but can you please….''
"Miss Li," Yu Mei interrupted the girl when she noticed where this was going, "I am not interested in sitting with you, either. Let's not make it difficult for Prof."
"You…I don't want to sit beside you," Li Shuang coldly replied.
"Do you see me dancing in happiness?" Yu Mei shook her head, "You can just score less marks in the next exams so that you can change seats.
"You…You…"
"What are you? A broken tape recorder?" Yu Mei rolled her eyes. Why are the people so exaggerated these days? They were just sitting on the same seat. Why did she have to act like she was a pervert who was out to take advantage of her?
Professor Zhang cleared her throat and continued with the results.
The day was less tiring as she had fewer classes. She walked out of the gate and spotted the car parked on the other side of the road.
To her surprise, Steward Gu walked out of the car opened the door to the passenger seat for her.
"I didn't expect to see you here," She said as soon as they got inside the car, "Is Zixuan busy?"
Steward Gu looked at her through the rear-view mirror, still getting used to the term 'Zixuan' coming out of her mouth.
"Master had some work today so he could not come. That's why he sent me to pick you up."
"Oh," She nodded, "Did he always stayed alone in the Ren Mansion?"
"Yes?"
"I mean…Before our marriage, did he always stay alone?" She did not know why she asked something like that. She just wanted to know it.
Steward Gu thought about it for a moment before speaking, "Master has been staying alone since he was 13. At that time, he did not have Ren Mansion."
"What about Boyan and his mother?" Her eyes widened slightly. Living alone all the time, won't it be too lonely?
"Well…Master used to visit them once in a while. Fourth Young Master then later moved to his university dormitory while Madam has been living alone.''
Fourth Young Master? Since they addressed Jun Zixuan as Master then shouldn't they address Jun Boyan as Second Master or something like that? What's with this Fourth Young Master? She contemplated but did not question it further.
Glory Apartment.
"Why are you standing? Take a sit," Mu Shen pointed at the couch, looking at Jun Zixuan, "This is your friend's house after all. You don't need to be so formal with me.''
Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow at him before looking at the black leather couch.
Mu Shen followed his gaze only to find a bra stuck on the side. He quickly pulled out the lacy bra and threw it away before smiling at Jun Zixuan, "You can sit now."
The man walked towards the couch, far away from the spot where the bra was stuck earlier. "Why did you call me here so urgently?" Jun Zixuan asked.
He was supposed to pick her up from her university but Mu Shen had to disturb him.
"Why are your eyes so red? Did you not sleep?" Mu Shen glanced at the man like a detective scanning every inch of his face. His then travelled towards his neck and the rest of the body once before he glanced back at his face, "Third Young Master, be honest, did you spend your night with a woman in arms?"
Jun Zixuan could feel an oncoming headache, "Seems like you called me here for gossips..."
"You didn't deny it," Mu Shen had his mouth wide open in an instant, "Damn.. Xuan, are you admitting that you slept with Yu Mei Zhen?"
"How would you know that?" Jun Zixuan glanced at him.
Mu Shen glanced at him quietly offering peace to his blank mind. "You…So my guess was not wrong after all…You were going crazy after her lips a few days ago, weren't you?"
Jun Zixuan remained quite.
That means he was admitting to it right? Mu Shen clicked his tongue, "Finally, you got yourself laid in the end…" He murmured.
"There is nothing like that.." Jun Zixuan said, What did you call me here for?"
Mu Shen squinted. Since his friend was denying it, he would believe that they did not play tetris. But then…
"I wanted to ask you something," he said, in a serious tone this time.
"Stop beating around the bush."
"Do you like her? Your wife, I mean.." Mu Shen did not miss the slight change in his friend's aloof expressions.
Jun Zixuan stood up from the couch and walked towards the French window. Standing near the glass, he glanced at the sky which was gradually turning dark.
"Here take this…" Mu Shen offered him a wine glass.
"I am not drinking.''
"This is grape juice," Mu Shen said, laughing a bit despite the tense atmosphere around them.
Taking the glass from his hand, Jun Zixuan took a sip of the drink.
"How is it? Does it tastes so good that you can't put the glass down?"
"Average," Jun Zixuan replied.
Mu Shen glared at him. You could have lied. He scoffed before following his friend's gaze and looked into the distance.
After what seemed like a long time, Mu Shen spoke up, "Did you think I wouldn't notice?" He asked but there was no reply from the man, ''As miniscule it is, I noticed it from the very first glance at her. Is this why you're staying in the mansion?"
"Yes," Jun Zixuan said.
Mu Shen shook his head, "You can't deny it now. Do you think I would be fooled by you? I…Wait…did you just say yes?"
Jun Zixuan glanced at him with a 'you're a fool' look on his face.
"You don't even bother denying it now? It has so deep?" Mu Shen speechless looked at the man who simply ignored him.
"Wait, the point is…"
