Chapter 422 - This Is Who I Am (1/2)
Mia's ears flopped slightly and she lowered her head, her fluffy tail dropped as she watched him wear his suit jacket. He folded his sleeves and since the front part of the suit jacket had a slit-like thing caused by her nail, he left it open like that and turned around to walk away.
She quietly stood rooted to her spot as she watched him walking away from her.
Mia slowly ran towards him but she stopped in her tracks. Her round hazel eyes sparkled as she watched him going away from her.
When his back appeared like a distant view to her, Mia lowered her head and turned around to leave.
There was nothing she would get by following him. And he was right. It was her who wanted to stay away from him then why was it that… the moment he placed her down, all she felt was a deep sense of emptiness inside her heart?
Was she expecting him to keep holding her like that? To take her back to his place with himself?
Shaking her head, she started walking away from the place with her tiny legs covering a little distance with every step.
''Mia…''
Her footsteps came to a halt and her head snapped in the direction of the voice almost on instinct.
Mia froze for a moment when she spotted Han Jian Yu standing at a distance from her.
Her eyes widened and her mind went blank as she stared at him, unable to comprehend what just happened.
All night, despite everything that happened, Han Jian Yu had been putting a nonchalant expression throughout. Even though a few things fazed him, but he did not show it that much and he was still able to take it in but right at the moment, he could not control his shock.
His eyes met the pair of hazel eyes and the picture of this baby fox, that dangerous feral and a breathtakingly beautiful woman started blending in his mind.
If it was a normal animal, then it would be like the animal looked in the direction of voice but this thing in front of him had its consciousness. And Han Jian Yu could see the myriads of expressions on her face that came because of the name he mention. It was obvious...
''So, it's really you…'' His fingers curled into a fist before gradually loosening as the words left his mouth as a whisper.
Noticing the disbelief on his face, Mia snapped out of her daze. This was something that she has always been afraid of. She never wanted him to know this… Know about what she was or who she was.
It brought over a whole heap of discomfort and insecurity in her heart whenever she thought about what he would think of her after knowing it. But he knew…. In the end, he knew.
No matter how careful she has been, he already knew about this.
Mia closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them with a flicker of determination. A soft glow encased her and she slowly transformed into her human form.
Han Jian Yu's lips parted slightly and his brows tugged together. Despite witnessing the scene with his own eyes, he could not help but wonder if it was a dream… a long dream.
