Chapter 239 - Weird Little Thing (2/2)

Danny and Sunny exchanged glances. How could they not know what was going in their Boss's mind? He did not want to go meet her right now as there were still some unsolved questions like who was the mysterious person responsible for the blast today. And how did they survived it? Why was it that only the selected people died? Is this person a friend or a foe? Whatever it was, their boss did not want to endanger his sister's life...her miraculously gifted second life.

Usually, they would never what was going on in his mind. But when it came to his sister, their boss's innermost feelings will be written all over his face. Sometimes they wondered if their Young Miss will be this invincible man's eventual doom.

Sunny and Danny bowed, ”Alright boss, we will get it done,” The brothers said before leaving the penthouse.

Han Jian Yu raked his fingers through his dark hair as he leaned back on the couch, looking at the ceilings. His thoughts spiraled further and further away before settling on his sister. There were things he had yet to tell her. He promised her that he will tell her about everything when they meet again but he did not want to endanger her life. Neither was he prepared for the confrontation which will probably change their relationship forever.

Mia snapped out of her daze. She quickly wiped the drool from her mouth with her fluffy tail before looking at the couch that was wet with her drool. She blinked twice and the dampness gradually disappeared. She dashed towards Han Jian Yu before and to his shoulder and nuzzling his neck with her mouth. 'Don't frown, beauty. Don't frown. I don't want you to age faster,' Her brows tugged together.

She wanted to say that aloud but it will probably be a little strange. Humans are timid, fearful of everything, easily scared, and whatnot. What if her prey ran away from her?

Han Jian Yu glanced at the creature cozying up with him, ”What a needy little thing...” She has been doing this all the way back to his place. He grabbed the back of her neck before placing it on the couch, ”I'm going to take a shower. Sit there quietly,” He did not know why he was talking to an animal but it felt like she was understanding his words.

Mia narrowed her eyes. Why was this man throwing her here and there? How disobedient!

Han Jian Yu paused when he heard the noise she made. ”Dirty,” His brows tugged together looking at her thoroughly blackened fur and face. After all, she was nearby at the time of the blast. How could she walk out clean?

Mia blinked, 'Though handsome, you're dirtier than me. Humph!' She swished her tail.

”I'm not an expert in understanding animal language,” He frowned. What kind of burden has he imposed upon himself just to make his sister happy? ”You want to take a bath with me?” was all he could conclude looking at the fox approaching him.

Mia's eyes widened. Bath with him? No!! The hair on the back of her neck stood up.

”You're that excited to take a bath?” The man raked his fingers through his hair a few times before picking up the palm-sized fox from the couch. It looks like she preferred cleanliness.

Mia struggled in his grip. She was eager to sleep with him but bathing... was the last thing she wanted to do with him. She could not take a bath together with him. It was a sacred thing to do in their culture which was considered no less than a marriage.

As the descendant of an ancient nine-tailed fox, she was not allowed to do this. She could only bath together with her mate, the man she would marry, be forever with. But such a man didn't exist. She wanted men around her, not a single man.

She glanced at Han Jian Yu. The moment they saw each other naked, in their most vulnerable states, she will immediately turn back to her real self and he will become her man by the grace of her ancestors.

And that will be no less than a blunder because a nine-tailed fox's commitment is bound to last for a lifetime, unlike the humans who get tired of their partners within months or a few years.

The last thing Mia ever wanted was restrictions on herself. Commitments weren't her kind of thing.

”Calm down. I'm taking you there. Be patient,” Han Jian Yu frowned looking at the creature who could barely stay still. Weird little thing.
