Chapter 326 - A Gift (1/2)

Mia glanced at her reflection on the glass wall. She tucked a few loose strands of her hair behind her ear before walking towards the door.

She pressed the doorbell and soon the door opened.

Han Jian Yu stood there wearing a plain white shirt paired with trousers. He was wearing a black apron atop it and there was a spatula in his hand.

Her gaze roamed past his bulging veins near the folded sleeves of his shirt. She could see his muscles being highlighted in that shirt as if they would rip the fabric any moment.

Han Jian Yu quietly stood there as he watched her gawking at him. He felt a tingly sensation at the spot wherever her gaze lingered.

Amusement flickered in his eyes as he noticed her frivolous eyes shifting towards his chest. ''Miss Neighbor?”

''A weird way to address Her Highness,'' She said disdainfully as she did not avert her gaze from his chest, ''Nice shirt. Even the sleeves are intricately designed,'' She said after some time as she tilted her head to look at him.

The corner of his lips twitched slightly but he schooled his expression. He glanced at her from head to toe. She was dressed in a small red dress that reach barely below her thighs. It hugged her body in the right places, highlighting her soft curves. Her long silver hair was let down and a few strands fell in front of her shoulder, caressing her collarbones that were visible in her sweetheart neckline dress.

Mia raised an eyebrow. Was he... checking her out?

Feeling her gaze on him, he shifted his attention, ''Nice dress. Perfect fit and exquisite fabric,'' He said seriously.

Her face darkened. She placed her palm on his chest and pushed him to the side before stepping inside, ''You don't make your guest stand outside like that. Bad manners,'' Mia said righteously as she turned around only to find him leaning back on the glass wall.

He glanced at the box in her hand, ''That is...?”

''A gift for you,'' She walked towards him and extended the box in her hands with a genuine expression on her face.

''What's the occasion?” He took the gift from her hand. It was wrapped up in a beautiful olive green wrap. A color that he liked. What a coincidence it is that she chose this color.

''You invited me over for dinner. It is only right for me to give you a gift,'' Mia shrugged as if it was not a big matter.

But it was the first time that she was gifting something to a man in truth.

Han Jian Yu glanced at her nonchalant face but her burning eyes gave away her top-notch acting. What does she want?

Mia grabbed the spatula from his hand, ''See if you like it.''

He raised an eyebrow. Oh? So, she wants his opinion on her gift.

''One second,'' He walked towards the couch and placed the gift on the coffee table before going to the kitchen. After turning off the gas and ensuring that everything was in place, he removed the black apron, washed his hands before waking outside.
