Married to his secret crush

She turned around to find a young boy standing in the distance. The face still had that child-like innocence as he blinked at her.

This thirteen-year-old boy was the reason why she came to this place in the first place.

Yu Jinhai. The biological brother of the previous owner was left all alone after the death of Li Na, who was their biological mother.

His sister, the previous owner of this body treated her like shit.

Today, Mother Yu called to inform her that her brother was missing her and it was only then did she remember about Yu Jinhai's existence.

Taking over this body had always made her feel a bit guilty towards Yu Mei Zhen's mother. The poor woman fought till her last breath so that her kids could live peacefully.

But one died because of her foolishness and the other was trapped amongst this bunch of monsters.

For taking over her daughter's body, the least she could do was save this little guy from these people.

She walked towards Yu Jinhai who was still standing at his place with his expressions morphing in shock.

"J-Jie?"

She nodded, "Yes," She softly mumbled before squatting in front of the boy.

He raised his hand towards her face but hesitated for a moment when he was reminded of how his sister had slapped him when he accidentally touched her hand.

Yu Mei held his palm.

He flinched.

Her eyes flashed slightly but she masked the coldness in her gaze before pressing her palm on her cheeks like what he was trying to do before.

Not only Yu Jinhai, the Yu mother-daughter, and even the servants were shocked by this.

Yu Mei Zhen had always been disgusted by her mother and her brother. She kept them at an arm's length then how could she suddenly act so nice?

And then, she had always been kind to Madam Yu but now she was acting so rudely. No matter how they thought about it, they were truly shocked.

"Y-You are beautiful," He blinked his doe eyes rubbing his trembling palm on her cheeks.

Yu Mei chuckled, "Ah Jin, will you go with me?"

Yu Jinhai looked into her dark eyes that were looking at him with so much gentleness. His sister has never looked at him like that, "W-Will you sell me again?"

Yu Mei's eyes widened slightly as a piece of memory resurfaced in her mind at his words. The previous owner had taken her brother to child traffickers with the excuse of 'taking him somewhere out to play' so that she could spite her biological mother.

Everything was orchestrated by Mother Yu but in the end, it was Yu Mei Zhen who was severely punished and beaten by Father Yu who was enraged by her actions as he had always prioritized sons who will take his lineage further.

Yu Mei could feel her heart aching at the sight of the boy's innocent eyes, there was still hope in them that maybe his sister genuinely wants to take him out to play.

She schooled her expressions and glanced at him with a gentle smile playing on her lips, "I was really stupid back then," She extended her hand towards him, "Will you forgive me and give me another chance?"

The boy looked into her eyes before looking at the hand extended towards him. He removed his trembling palm from her cheeks and placed it in her hand before nodding softly.

She held his hand tightly and her lips stretched in a delightful smile as she stood up, "You can't back out now. Let's go."

"I see that you've grown some wings after living with your powerful sponsor for some years," Mother Yu dropped her facade as she glanced at her back.

Without listening to the old goat's words, Yu Mei kept walking holding Yu Jinhai's hand but just as she reached the main door, two bodyguards blocked their path.

The young boy standing beside her flinched, causing Yu Mei to frown. This guy was way too sensitive than he should be.

She tightened her grip on his hand and walked forward.

One of the bodyguards extended his hand to block her path, "You can't go," Just like the rest of the servants, his tone was rude.

'Crack'

She grabbed his wrist with her left hand and twisted his arm in one swift move, her movements were blurry to everyone's eyes. Her right hand was still holding Yu Jinhai's hand.

"Ahh!!!" The man wailed like a pig being slaughtered and her grip on his hand loosened.

She glanced at the bulky man sitting on the ground, holding his hand and wincing in pain.

A hint of disdain appeared in her eyes before she looked at the other guard who flinched under her cold gaze, "You also want to try?"

The man retreated. His brother was much stronger than him but he was defeated in one move. He didn't want to risk losing his hands for this new job.

Getting his answer from his actions, Yu Mei tilted her head to the side and glanced at the Yu Mother-daughter pair from above her shoulder, "Since you know that my man is powerful, you should stop provoking me lest he shakes your foothold in the Entertainment Industry," With that, she turned around and left with Yu Jinhai, leaving both the women in stunned.

Yu Yan glanced at her mother who had yet to snap out of her trance, "Mommy~''

"She is just like that bitch," Mother Yu closed her eyes, "Yan'er, don't worry. Let her fly as much as she wants. When the right time comes, I'll make sure to clip off her wings."

After leaving the Yu Family Villa, Yu Mei took Yu Jinhai to a five-star restaurant to have lunch first. Her hunger was climbing to her head, making her unable to think properly.

They had their lunch in silence as she had her mouth stuffed with food to speak a single word.

And as soon as her tummy was satisfied, a realization struck her.
