Married to his secret crush

Chapter 199 - Love You

"Why are you dressed like this?" Shen Lihua pointed her chin towards the panda-printed pyjama. 

Yu Mei: "_" Why did it feel like she was detained in a prison and the interrogation was just going on and on?

Right at this moment, the doorbell rang saving her from this hell of a rapid-fire round. 

"Who can it be?" Shen Lihua frowned. She was used to living alone and having so many people around somewhat overwhelmed her.

"It is my brother, Yu Jinhai," Yu Mei glanced at the door as she tried to stand up only to be pulled back by Jun Zixuan. 

"Sit here. I'll open the door."

Their interaction did not escape Shen Lihua's keen eyes who glanced at her younger son meaningfully.

Jun Boyan stood up, "I'll go open the door, brother. You sit here."

"Yu Jinhai? Li Na's son?" Shen Lihua's eyes shone with excitement. 

Yu Mei nodded. 

...

The next day, at the gazebo.

''Pretty Aunt, I want donuts," Yu Jinhai tugged at the woman's hand. 

Shen Lihua smiled, "Alright, baby. I'll make everything for you."

Yu Mei sat on the swing as she basked under the morning sunlight that touched the side of her face. 

Jun Zixuan propped his face on his fist as his elbow rested on the arm of the chair. His mesmerizing gaze was fixated on the woman as she played with her hair.

Shen Lihua stood up from the chair before looking at the 'daughter-in-law' who seemed to have walked straight out of a painting, "Anything else that you can do other than looking beautiful?"

Yu Mei tilted her head to the side as she glanced at the woman, "Oh, mother-in-law, I can do many things. I'm a full package. Being beautiful is just a bonus."

The Jun Brothers: "_"

The mother-in-law: "_"

"Alright, come and cook with me."

The corner of her lips twitched, "In fact cooking and I are like two parallel lines. Since I love food, we will always walk together. But the intersection point is quite invisible," Yu Mei explained with full logic, hoping that the woman would get her point. 

Shen Lihua narrowed her eyes, "There is a small kitchen in the garden. You will love that."

Jun Zixuan glanced at his wife then at his mother who was hell-bent on teaching her the art of cooking. 

"Mom, we haven't cooked together for a long time. Let me help you today," He walked towards her while loosening the top two buttons of his shirt. 

"You are just saving your wife out of this, aren't you?" Shen Lihua glanced at her. 

"He is saving your little kitchen from a blast," Yu Mei interjected. 

Jun Zixuan pursed his lips before holding his mother's hand, "Let's go, Mom."

"Fine."

Yu Mei's eyes twinkled with mischief, "Zixuan baby~" 

Jun Zixuan paused as he turned around to look at her. 

"I love you," She sent a few flying kisses at him. 

Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Do you?"

Shen Lihua was sure that she would have gotten a heart attack if she wasn't mentally strong. She tried all the ways to get them together over the past few years but her son won't just looked at her no matter what she did. And now they were flirting with each other like there was no one around them. As happy as she was, it was still shocking. 

As the mother and son duo left, Yu Mei could not help but chuckle, "It's so fun to tease them."

Jun Boyan was speechless at his sister-in-law's antics. 

"Jie, is pretty Grandma really our mom's friend?" 

Jun Boyan dragged the boy to his lap while Yu Mei nodded, "You don't believe it?" She asked. 

"Mom never mentioned her to me," The boy softly replied before getting busy with the iPad his brother-in-law has given him to play video games. 

Yu Mei paused. In fact, Yu Jinhai and Li Na were closer to each other, unlike Yu Mei Zhen who treated the duo like allergies. 

Moreover, she has noticed that despite his young age, Yu Jinhai was very mature at times and no matter how small an incident was, he will always remember it. Although the guy wasn't abused in the Yu Family but they have impacted him psychologically and emotionally in one way or another to properly train him to be a 'heir'. 

Yu Mei Zhen detested her mother so much that she avoided the woman even during her death. Yu Jinhai, on the other hand, was prohibited from meeting her for the last time, to talk to his mother for the last time. 

And the two years went difficult for the boy who created walls around him. After all, it was his mother whom he loved the most in the world. 

Li Na wasn't even given a proper burial neither did the world know much about her existence. She just remained an unknown mistress of the Yu Family having nobody knowing whether she was alive or not.

Now that Yu Mei thought about it, what Yu Jinhai said sounded logical. But then, Li Na had a status lower than the servants in the Yu Family. Amidst all the power struggle, where would she find the time to sit somewhere and reminisce the old days and friends?

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Mei glanced at the man, "Nothing much. Will you be staying here for now?"

Jun Boyan nodded, "Until the semester starts."

"What do you plan to do after that?"

"I've always wanted to be a Chef. Now I'm doing extra courses for it and if everything goes well, I'll end up being a professional Chef." 

"That's cool," Yu Mei didn't expect that. He looked like someone to be interested in business or physics, "I will be getting free food. The more, the better," She smiled. 

Jun Boyan nodded, "Of course."

"And what about your girlfriend? Do I have a sister-in-law?"

"No," Jun Boyan scratched the back of his neck, "I'm not interested."

Yu Mei could not help but laugh when she looked at the tips of his ears turning red.

"What a liar you are, huh? Fourth Young Master, you feel no shame when you lie like that? You have women hovering around you like bees. It's just taking you some time to take them to bed for god knows what reason," A loud boisterous voice interrupted their conversation.
