Chapter 39 - The Little Creature Can Talk (1/2)

Shen Lihua sighed, ”I can't match the pace of you youngsters. Only you can understand what you're thinking. Just go with him on this business trip, alright?”

”Why would I?”

”What a defiant daughter-in-law,” The woman sneered, ”Not bad. Either you go with him to the business trip where he would stay busy with his work or else I can make him cancel his work and send the servants on a holiday. You both can spend some quality time alone in this mansion. The choice is yours.”

She waved at her before walking out of the room only to be met with her son who was standing with a cold expression on his face, ”Let her go with you.” She said before walking away.

Yu Mei sat there frozen in her spot as she thought about what her dear mother-in-law just said.

”The woman is a she-devil…” She murmured to herself, ”So…Zixuan is a businessman…”

What business is he doing?

She shook her head.

Tsk...It has nothing to do with her.

Rather than staying alone with him in this mansion, it was better to accompany him on the business trip. At least, he will be busy with work.

'Bang'

She was startled by the sudden noise and looked up.

”Do you want to break the door?” She looked at the man in disbelief, ”Anyways, I don't want to see you now. You can just leave…”

The man did not respond to her as walked straight towards her before grabbing her jaw in one hand, ”You are not talking to her like that ever again,” He enunciated each word in a low yet dangerous voice.

Her eyes teared up at the amount of pressure his fingers applied on her cheeks.

She grabbed his wrist tightly trying to remove his hand off her face.

But he seemed to have become someone else.

She was confident about her physical strength but the man didn't even flinch. She was well trained in martial arts and she knew there were not many men who could compare to her.

But in front of him, her strength seemed negligible.

A lone teardrop escaped from the corner of her eyes as it slid down her cheeks before landing on his hand.

As he felt the wet sensation on his fingers, he blinked before looking into her eyes.

Those inky black eyes had a glassy shine in them.

The sight of tears in her eyes…made him uncomfortable.

His grip on her cheeks loosened and she pushed him away right that instant.

'Pak!'

She stood up from the bed before giving him a tight slap.

”I think I never knew you before. Or I just misunderstood your true nature,” Her words sounded like a whisper, ”Jun Zixuan… You are a devil…” She mumbled before running out of the room.

Jun Zixuan stood there rooted to his spot as he raised his hand towards his cheek.

He was slapped.

But the thing that bothered him was the tears in her eyes and that redness on her translucent skin.

He was worried whether it was painful to her while she was the one who misbehaved with his mother and slapped him.

Strange, isn't it?
