Chapter 436 – Men Should Wait
Mia quietly looked at the tears that rolled down his cheeks. She raised her hand and let her fingers glide on his cheeks, wiping his tears, ''Why is it that everytime it is me who does things but it is also me who is the most hurt by my own actions?" she whispered, ''But to tell you the truth, this time I am not hurt by my actions. The little life growing inside Mei… I want it to see the world.''
He pressed his forehead against hers, ''But you won't be here to see…''
''You are right. I won't be here,'' Mia whispered, ''I called you today to let you know about my decision.''
Han Jian Yu glanced at her, ''Then why didn't you tell me?'' He asked softly as he moved his hands from her shoulders to her face. He cupped her cheeks, '' Why didn't you tell me about it, Mia? You say you are not alive then how can I see you right in front of my eyes?"
''This is a part of my soul where I put all my powers so that you can see me… for the last time,'' Mia tilted her head slightly, ''I was a moment, Jian Yu. I was never meant to be your forever.''
''I want you to be my forever,'' he whispered with tears in his eyes.
''When I called you, you were with a woman. My heart was aching but in the end, this is what I want. I want you to live happily, have a family, have everything that you never had.''
''No, it's not…'' Han Jian Yu panicked when he saw her disappearing gradually.
''Mia! Mia!'' He hugged her tightly only to feel air in his arms, ''Don't go,'' he came to his knees.
Han Jian Yu buried his face in his palms, ''Mia… It has always been you, nobody else. Don't leave me…'' His shoulders trembled as he lowered his head, ''Don't go…I beg you,'' a whisper escaped his lips only to be greeted with silence.
Two months later in Amaranthine.
''Boss, those ministers have been very persistent on the batch of changes. They want things to go their way,'' Danny said but getting no response from the man he was talking to, he turned to his left and glanced at his brother.
Sunny pursed his lips and stayed quiet. It was not like their Boss was a very amicable person in the first place but in the past few months, his temper has been very unpredictable and one would never be able to know what will tick him off.
''Then let them stick to their beliefs,'' Han Jian Yu folded his sleeves and checked the time on his wristwatch before taking off his shades, ''If they don't accept things with kindness, then they can expect chaos,'' he softly said but his tone had a dangerous edge to it and every guard and person present in the chopper who heard him speaking will know that the chaos he mentioned won't be bloodless ones.
After the private jet landed in Beijing, Han Jian Yu walked inside his car and sent the driver out before he drove off.
Sunny and Danny glanced at the car until it was completely out of the sight.
''How long has it been since he is like this?" Sunny asked.
''Two months,'' Danny replied, ''And we have yet to get a clue about what happened to him.''
Sunny sighed, ''He won't even let us be around him, let alone telling us what happened.''
''Do you think Young Miss knows anything?"
''Young Miss…'' Sunny sighed helplessly, ''I don't think she is any better than him at this point.''
Han Jian Yu alighted the car and glanced at the glass villa in front of his eyes. His gaze roamed around the place, taking in the sight of the sea and the beautiful gardens.
He stepped towards the villa but his footsteps came to a halt and his gaze landed on the house next to his which was separated by a single glass wall.
He glanced at the closed door quietly for a few seconds before he pressed his finger on his door. The door opened with a click and he stepped inside the house.
Han Jian Yu unbuttoned his suit jacket and threw it onto the couch.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, his phone started ringing.
He looked at the caller ID before answering the call.
''You are back,'' came the aloof voice from the other side.
Han Jian Yu raised an eyebrow, ''So?"
''You should have called and greeted me, you know. We are talking about basic etiquettes,'' Jun Zixuan clicked his tongue.
The corner of his lips twitched and Han Jian Yu spoke through gritted teeth, ''Hello, brother-in-law. Care to welcome me?"
''But you are late for the greeting so don't think I will bother accepting it,'' Jun Zixuan sighed, sounding very disappointed.
Han Jian Yu massaged the spot between his brows, ''How is Mei?"
''I am waiting for her.''
''Where are you waiting?" Han Jian Yu raised an eyebrow.
''In front of Rosette headquarters, where else?''
''Why don't you go inside and check?"
"Your sister said that my pretty face is a nothing but a distraction during work.''
''And you certainly sound very smug about it,'' Han Jian Yu scoffed, ''It's good that you are waiting. Men should learn to wait.''
''Yes, I have learnt from the best,'' There was a slight mocking intent in the the tone and Han Jian Yu's jaw ticked but before he could say something, Jun Zixuan continued, ''I have been waiting since 3 hours. Let me go check inside before your sister wreaks havoc here and you… you can continue to wait,'' with that said, the man hung up.
Han Jian Yu glanced at his phone quietly for a few seconds before throwing it to the couch. If it was not because of his little sister who was head over heels for this man, the intense urge to murder and bury this wolf was always high from his side.
He rubbed the spot between his brows and glanced upstairs.
