Chapter 177 – A Dog Leash
A small purple sparkle started from the pendant kept on the glass desk as the intensity of the light increased slowly and steadily.
Gu Min looked at it in amazement, "This diamond is said to be a rare one but President Leanne waited for months to get her hands on this. She rejected every other option and insisted on this. Not only this pendant was personally designed by her, but she also made its mechanism by herself-"
"Mei will like it," Jun Zixuan nodded in appreciation, looking at the pendant, promptly interrupting the man.
Gu Min: "_"
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, the purple glow in the room gradually dimmed.
A frown settled on Jun Zixuan's face.
"How can this happen?" Gu Min was at a loss for words as the pendant stopped glowing, "They won't dare to give us a fake one," He said, picking up the remote and switching on the lights in the office.
"Give them two hours to present a suitable explanation. If they are unable to do so…" Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes at the pendant, "Sue them."
Gu Min froze, "Brother Xuan, isn't it too much? Just compensation should be fine."
"I haven't gifted her this flawed pendant yet or else Rosette might not get to see tomorrow."
And that made the secretary realize that he once again underestimated Yu Mei Zhen's importance in his heart.
Back in the Ren Mansion.
While Yu Jinhai was in school, Yu Mei and Mia were inside her room as they sat on the bed while the former explained everything in brief that happened in her absence.
Mia swished her nine tails before they started disappearing one by one leaving only one tail for display. Her hazel eyes focused on the woman who was sitting on the bed with a red face.
"Will it be available in the supermarket?" The vixen asked.
Yu Mei noticed that Mia's childish undertone in her voice was gone, replaced by a smooth seductive voice. She raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"
"A dog leash," Mia batted her eyelashes, "You told me that you will be a dog if you fall in love again. And you also claimed you will never fall for Jun Zixuan."
Yu Mei: "_"
"It just happened. Do you have to mock me like this?"
"Happened? If this big sister did not wake up in time, you might have thrown nephews and nieces in a few months-"
And that had both of them pause in an instant.
'How could I forget that she can't have a child?' Mia inwardly chastised herself before clearing her throat, "Didn't he ask you about me? Your supposed child?"
Yu Mei furrowed her brows, "No, he did not mention you even once. Either he doesn't care or he trusts me so much."
"Neither," Mia clicked her tongue, "I think he cares too much for you. And that's why he holds back so that he won't end up hurting you in any way."
Yu Mei lowered her head as she fiddled with her fingers, "You think he does?"
Mia rolled on the bed as she laughed, "It's refreshing to see you getting shy."
Yu Mei glared at the fox, "Why don't you get to your human form?"
"So that you won't be shocked but since you want to see me, I won't reject," And in the next moment the fox swiftly transformed.
Yu Mei gasped as she looked at the woman in front of her. With her head propped on her fist, there she laid on the bed with one of her legs slightly raised in a seductive posture. Her long silver hair fell to a side while her hazel eyes twinkled. Her bright red lips parted, "Surprised?" Her sonorous voice snapped Yu Mei out of her trance.
"You're Mia?" She looked at the woman dressed in a crimson ancient attire.
The woman blinked, "I am her mother, the nine-tailed fox spirit."
Yu Mei nodded in a daze, "Hello Aunty, nice to meet you."
Mia sat up on the bed in exasperation. Her dress lowered slightly revealing a bit of her cleavage, as her slim waist sashayed, "Have you turned dumb after witnessing Her Highness's beauty?"
Yu Mei pinched the woman's slim waist, "Oh my god, Mia. Is this really you?"
"Who else if not me?" Mia glared at the woman who was poking her breast looking at them in curiosity.
"How did they grow so much in a few days?" Came her curious question.
"I just regained my powers. What are you so shocked about?"
Yu Mei retracted her hand and sat straight to not come off as a pervert. "Say, is this the reason why Zixuan couldn't see you?"
Mia nodded, "As long as I don't want to be seen, no one will see me."
She was still a bit speechless.
"Get me a pair of clothes, will you?" Mia said looking at her red attire, "These are the clothes I wore when I was cursed back then. Whenever my power is unstable, they will appear on my body."
Yu Mei frowned, "You should keep your powers in control or else it will be an issue in the future," Since Mia has regained her body and she also looked like a woman in her mid-20s, she will surely find a way to let her out of her body now, "I think my clothes will fit you."
Mia nodded, "Don't worry too much. We will see what happens."
Just as Yu Mei opened her mouth to say something, her phone started ringing.
She picked it from the bedside table before answering the call, "Director Xiang?" As she heard what the old man said, a frown settled between her brows, "They want to file a case against us?…. How is that possible? I have double-checked the mechanism of the pendant and it also passed the production check before its launching. How can there be a fault…." A sudden realization dawned on her as a cold glint flashed across her eyes, "Meet me in Four Seasons hotel right within 30 minutes. Bring Lyra with you."
