Chapter 297 - Dubious Intentions
Chapter 297 – Dubious Intentions
'Once you are seduced by a man, you will be hooked to him until you get him or someone much much much better than him…'
Mia blinked as she threw away her phone, the webnovel app closing on it. What the heck is this?
She stretched her body before standing up from the bed. Her cultivation was over and she felt much more energetic after recovering her internal injuries that were caused by over exertion of powers when her bond with Han Jian Yu awakened and she caused that blast.
She walked towards the mirror before combing her long silver hair. She snapped her fingers and her hair was immediately arranged in a long braid as it fell in front of her shoulder. She looked at her reflection in satisfaction but her expressions turned bitter at a little reminder of something.
It has been a few days since she disappeared from Han Jian Yu's place. He must be looking for her…''No, why would he? He called me troublesome,'' She frowned, realizing that it was the best for her to stay far away from him.
She did not blame anything on him because she was in her fox form and she had been bothering him quite a bit so it was obvious that he would find her troublesome.
''But still, when has Her Highness ever been called troublesome?" She shook her head, realizing that probably she was over reacting or her exhaustion has made her emotionally unstable.
Mia sighed for the umpteenth time before walking towards the bed and grabbing her phone. Maybe, she should go and hover around the pair of love birds.
As she walked downstairs while fiddling with her phone, she came across the trending news. There were pictures and videos of Yu Mei proposing Jun Zixuan, there was a video of them kissing each other and the fans who were shipping the couple were going crazy in the comment section.
Mia raised an eyebrow as she walked towards the couch, ''Just how long did I go to miss such breaking news? You guys sure know how to drop some shock bombs….'' Her words came to a halt the moment she tilted her head from her phone, her gaze landed on the man who was sitting on the couch with his back facing towards her. His dark hair, powerful presence…
Han Jian Yu stood up from the couch as he turned around towards the source of voice. Dressed in a short black floral dress with her long hair tied in a braid, she stood there, rooted to her spot. He noticed the shock in her hazel eyes and his brows tugged together.
Mia glanced at his stormy expressions. No, No, he won't recognize you. She told herself and turned around to leave.
For whatever reason it was, she did not want to have anything to do with him neither did she want him to know more about her and her contract with his sister.
''Wait…''
His cold tone made her pause in her tracks.
''Brother!'' Mia turned to look at Yu Mei who dashed towards the man before hugging him.
She inwardly sighed in relief only to feel a piercing stare on her a second later.
She glanced at Jun Zixuan who had his eyes narrowed at her.
'I thought you said he is cute' Jun Zixuan mouthed.
Mia, who did not know how to read lips, activated her powers as she read his mind, 'He is cute…sometimes' She moved her lips.
Jun Zixuan's face darkened. While they were on their way back to Ren Mansion, he received a call from Steward Gu who informed him that the President of Amaranthine was here here to meet him. And since there were no interactions between him and Han Jian Yu, he wondered why he should be here until it clicked in his mind?
Jian Yu.
Han.
Han Jian Yu.
And he would be lying if he said he was not in disbelief when Yu Mei confirmed his guess.
While the pair of brother and sister were looking out for each other, Mia slid to Jun Zixuan's side as she poked his arm, ''Why? Were there any issues with me calling him cute?" She could not help but ask curiously.
Jun Zixuan dusted off the sleeve of his suit jacket.
Mia glared at him. This man… She really wondered if he was some illegitimate brother from her past life.
''I thought he was like Yu Jinhai,'' Jun Zixuan mumbled under his breath.
Mia pursed her lips, trying to stifle her laughter, ''But he was even cuter when he was of that age.''
Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow, ''Why do I think that you have some dubious intentions towards him?"
Mia cleared her throat, ''Truth to be told, I once had a crush on him.''
''What about now?"
''I just want to stay away from him now,'' She shrugged.
''I was really surprised when I heard that you are here,'' Yu Mei smiled.
Han Jian Yu nodded, ''I had to come…'' He glanced at the two people standing at a distance, whispering to each other. His gaze paused on Jun Zixuan for a split second before he looked at the woman standing beside him, ''Who is she?"
Jun Zixuan tucked a hand in his pocket as he stood there casually while Mia froze when she was mentioned.
Yu Mei turned to look at them, her mouth parted slightly as she glanced at Mia with a questioning gaze. 'You can trust my brother. Van I tell him?' Since Mia was not hesitant about revealing it to Jun Zixuan, she believed that she would not hesitate when it came to Han Jian Yu.
But much to her surprise, Mia's words were different from her expectation, 'Don't tell him. I don't want anyone else to know about my origin,' Mia replied in her mind. Moreover, she felt uncomfortable at the thought of letting Han Jian Yu know about her real self for whatever reason that she was not aware of.
Yu Mei frowned. She respected her wishes but she could feel her brother's gaze boring in to the back of her head. What was she supposed to say?
She can't bring herself to lie to him.
