Chapter 280 - Everything? (2/2)
Jun Zixuan pushed himself to his feet as he carried her from the couch and she rubbed her face on his chest, her mouth slightly parted like a fish. He smiled before carrying her upstairs in the way that led to the bedroom.
Mia smiled as she glanced at their retreating back. She stood up from the couch while looking around the place, the stars that sparkled through the glass ceilings. She walked to the glass walls towards her left before taking a seat on the chaise lounge, glancing at the sparkling waves of the sea that crashed against the island.
Her hazel eyes sparkled as she glanced at the distant sky.
Hearing the sounds of approaching footsteps, Mia turned around to glance at Jun Zixuan who was walking towards her with two coffee mugs in his hand. He passed one to her before taking a seat on the other side of the chaise lounge.
She was expecting his presence already, ”Is it poisoned?” She eyed the coffee mug in her hand.
”It could have been but she cares for you,'' Jun Zixuan nonchalantly said.
Mia laughed, ”I know what you are thinking about but I can't change the past.''
”You could have saved her,'' Jun Zixuan coldly said, ”….With whatever these powers that you have.''
”I never wanted to be contracted to a human but she was my only way out of that spell. I did not play any tricks. I quietly stayed inside her body, waiting for the day she will die so that I can get my freedom. The day when she was assassinated, I could have saved her but I did not care whether she lived or died. And I thought that it is her fate whether she survives or not. But I did not expect her to be able to absorb my powers. She sucked my last life….probably it was her will power or it was her desire to survive…that she managed to control our contract on her accord….'' Mia sighed, ''I am quite amazed at how it has changed over the months. How wanting to kill her has switched to killing anyone for her,'' The day Yu Mei risked her life to save her from those goons, Mia knew that she was a fool and before she knew it, she was equally protective of that fool.
Jun Zixuan glanced at the woman, ''It is better that it switched,'' He could not imagine losing her while being clueless about the cause of it.
Mia sighed, ''It's already in the past like I said. Don't look at me like I have murdered your woman,'' Even she felt goosebumps under his cold gaze. She took a sip of the coffee, ''Has she told you about herself?”
”She did,'' Jun Zixuan averted his gaze to look at the sea.
''Everything?” Mia glanced at him curiously.
''Yes.''
''You should thank me,'' Mia took another sip of the coffee, the velvety taste soothing her throat. This man's skills were extraordinary for sure. She wondered if this was his 'thank you' coffee for she could be counted as a reason for which Yu Mei was revived.
''Thank you for what?”
