Married to his secret crush

Jun Zixuan pointed his chin towards the bedside drawers.

She pulled open the drawer and grabbed the thermometer that was lying on the top.

She grabbed a tissue paper from the table and wiped it clean before stuffing it into the man's mouth.

He raised an eyebrow.

She glanced at her wristwatch, "It's past 10 pm right now. I'll get you everything and leave for dorms," she said before walking out of the room.

Jun Zixuan's face darkened. He pressed his palm on his forehead and his face turned a few shades darker.

He removed the thermometer from his mouth immediately.

'39°C?'

It did not take long for Yu Mei to come back with a huge tray in her hand as she staggered back and forth.

"Zixuan," she whispered, her gaze still stuck to the tray in her hand, the glass of water slightly shifted as she slowly and carefully walked towards the bed.

Her footsteps faltered and the man immediately pushed himself out of the bed to help her carry the tray.

"Why are you doing this? Where are the servants?" He narrowed his eyes. Though his voice was a bit husky, the dominance in it didn't diminish a bit.

She bit her bottom lip, "I told them I can do this," She lowered her head. The embarrassment she felt could not be described in words.

She had expertise in breaking and damaging things but a single household work could not be done by her.

She blamed this on Han Jian Yu.

Jun Zixuan stifled his laughter as he pinched her cheeks, "It's more than enough that you didn't stumble on your way till the room."

"You…" She slapped away his hand, "Wait, where is the thermometer?" She grabbed the thermometer from the bed before checking the temperature, "You removed it from your mouth?" She glanced at him.

He nodded.

She narrowed her eyes and pushed him by his chest such that he was sitting on the bed as she stuffed it back in his mouth.

He removed it once again.

"Put it back."

He shook his head.

She raised an eyebrow.

"Read me a book."

Was he acting like this because of his fever? She blinked and asked a bit gently, "Which one?"

"The ones you read."

"Novels?" She frowned. She did not read them that much. It was the previous owner who had them in her room.

He nodded.

"Alright, I'll get them from the other room," She glanced at the thermometer in his hand, "Put it in your mouth."

He did so immediately.

As soon as she walked out of the room, Jun Zixuan removed the thermometer from his mouth before putting it in the glass of hot milk.

Yu Mei glanced around her room which she was entering after months. She hadn't seen these gaudy pink walls for a long time.

From how clean the room was, it could be determined that it has been well-maintained during this period.

She walked towards the bedside table and looked at the piles of books.

The first book had a cover with a man and woman kissing intimately with the title 'Sex with the CEO'.

She blinked and pushed it away. The second book had the man biting a half-naked woman's collarbone with the title 'The Mafia Prince adores me'.

This adoration...is too heavy. Yu Mei cleared her throat and pushed it aside.

Her gaze landed on the third book. The man and woman were both sitting elegantly on a couch while holding hands. The title of the book was 'Mr. President's Virtuous Wife'.

Virtuous? Mmm... This must be a decent one. She grabbed the book and happily walked back to the Master Bedroom.

Back in the Master Bedroom.

Yu Mei placed the book on the bed as she walked towards the man, "I'll leave after reading a few chapters," She grabbed the thermometer from his mouth before checking the temperature. Her eyes widened, "99°C? Oh my God...Quickly, let's go to the hospital."

He blinked, "No. I'll be fine after some time," His voice weak.

"You…"

"Stay with me for tonight," He grabbed her wrist, "Read that."

She followed his gaze towards the novel and grabbed it before opening the book.

She sighed. Of course, she will have to stay back to take care of him as this stubborn man won't go to the hospital.

With that thought, she turned the pages and started reading the book.

'Was it a rain?'

After reading the opening line, she glanced at the man for a moment, "Are you sure you are fine?"

"Mmm...Continue."

She sighed.

'Was it rain? Could it be called rain? A rain inside my body? His tongue delved deeper into my forbidden wetness and I writhed. Oh, I wished it was his cock buried deeper inside-'

'Bam'

The novel fell from her hand as Yu Mei gulped. What happened to the virtuous wife?

Initially, she was reading it absentmindedly but it was too late when she realized where it was going.

She hesitantly glanced at Jun Zixuan whose expressions were still as nonchalant but...the reddening tips of his ears betrayed him.

She pressed both her palms on her face feeling the heat creeping up her neck.

One should never judge a book by its cover.

It was too late for her when she realized how true this saying was.

The next morning.

Yu Mei found herself alone in the bed when she woke up and there was a note beside her pillow.

'I have some important matters to take care of. See you later, sweetheart!'

The last term made her blush for a few good minutes causing her to roll around in bed. The embarrassment from last night's Virtuous wife novel was still very fresh in her mind.

Wait...She froze when she was reminded about his health. How could he go to work with such a high fever?

With that thought, she tried to call him but the call didn't go through adding more to her worries.

Left with no choice, she freshened up and walked downstairs.

"Where is Steward Gu?" She asked one of the servants.

"Young Mistress," The man bowed to her, "Steward Gu left with Master."

"Oh.." She nodded and walked out of the mansion.

Her gaze landed on her car reminding her of the day Shi Luo stumbled on Jun Zixuan and her kissing and hugging on the roadside.

That day, Shi Luo was there to return her car but after what she witnessed, that woman has been pestering her incessantly to get some information.

Yu Mei glanced at the sky begrudgingly, 'Are you having fun playing with me?'

She was no longer sure how to treat Jun Zixuan and what to do with him.
