Chapter 207 - So In Love (1/2)

”It was dull, bleak, blank...anything but good.”

She raised an eyebrow, ”Why is that?” She grabbed a pillow and placed it in front of her before putting the phone there such that it was leaning against the pillow for support.

”My days are just so-so without you,” The man sighed.

His casual words tugged her heartstrings. The corner of her lips twitched into a small smile, ”Is it so?”

”Mm,” Jun Zixuan glanced at the ceiling letting her have a view of his side profile, ”How was your day?”

She blinked, ”Exhausting. I went to the headquarters, then I accompanied Li Shuang to meet her grandpa and later Ah Jin got sick so I am here at Luoluo's place.”

His brows tugged slightly as he turned his face towards the camera, ”The guard informed me about your whereabouts so I knew you were at Shi Luo's place. But I didn't expect it to be about Ah Jin.”

After the Zhu Boqin incident, Jun Zixuan assigned a secret guard for her who won't come out unless the situation was urgent and would always stay at a distance so as to not invade her privacy.

She wanted to deny to this arrangement but...

Once bitten twice shy.

If she considered her brother's advice and had not run away without her bodyguards, then she might not have died.

Mia only had the last tail left so there will be no third life for her. And she already owed her a tail. A little more debt and she will be buried under the ground.

So, this time it was better to stay out of risks.

”Today is his...our mother's death anniversary and since he was close to her so...” She sighed.

”Were you not close to her?”

She glanced at him blankly. It was rare for him to ask anything about her past or anything like that. After their fight, he never once mentioned Mia who was presented to him as her supposed daughter. Sometimes, she could not help but wonder about it.

Was it because she told him that she had her secrets? Or was it because he simply trusted her?

But wasn't he at least curious to know where did that daughter disappear to?

”Mei...''

She snapped out of her daze, ”Huh? Yeah...Actually, I was not that close to her. As you know, I was a bit mentally unstable in the past,” She cleared her throat, ”Only after the accident did I get to see the world with a new perspective. You won't see me as someone crazy now, will you? Well, I Just-”

”I miss you,” He interrupted her.

She blinked as her gaze landed on the empty side of the bed before she looked at him, ”Me too...” She softly said as she grabbed the blanket and tucked herself properly, ”When will you come back?”

”Within 2 days.”

She raised an eyebrow, ”I thought this business trip was supposed to last around a week,” Steward Gu did say something like that.

”Any more than 48 hours, and my work efficiency will gradually decrease.”

”Just say it aloud that you can't live without me,” She tilted her chin, feeling a bit smug.
