Chapter 431 - A Woman With Him (1/2)

After she told him that she watched Yu Mei being assassinated without doing anything because she wanted her to die, she did notice the shift in his expression.

Maybe he was now taking some time to digest it or he was disappointed in her, she did not know what it was.

But Mia did not blame Han Jian Yu for it. Whenever she thought about that day, she felt disappointed by her own actions.

Living inside a box as a fox spirit for so long, she forgot that she was a human too. It was as if she had shed off her humanity at that moment when she watched Yu Mei dealing with all those men bare handed, and later after she was shot and pinned to the ground while those men tried to touch her inappropriately, she still continued watching the scene idly, waiting for her to die. Now that she thought back to that day, she felt like she sinned.

Looking at Jun Zixuan's retreating back, Mia walked to the chair in the hall before taking a seat. She looked at the phone in her hand which was unlocked. Her finger hovered above Han Jian Yu's contact number for a few seconds before she called him.

As the rings started, her heart raced and Mia shifted in her seat slightly. When she felt Yu Mei calling her, she never expected that the she was calling her name while sleeping.

And since she wanted to escape the tense atmosphere in the forest, she came to Yu Mei without telling Han Jian Yu about that.

Moreover, she never once thought that Yu Mei would be in any sort of danger given that she was with Jun Zixuan when she left. But her thoughts and assumptions were entirely different from the reality.

Han Jian Yu did not pick up the call the first time and Mia  glanced at the phone before calling him again. Although it looked like he left for some urgent matter but he is supposed to know this.

She can only imagine what his reaction will be like if he came to know it later.

The phone rang twice before the call was connected.

''You don't feel sense of shame calling me at this hour? I am busy,'' came the casual voice of the man.

Mia was speechless. So, he thought he is talking to Jun Zixuan but then again, this was his phone. Her hazel eyes narrowed slightly when she heard him panting lightly.

Did something happen to him again? It was the first thought that crossed her mind but then, his tone sounded alright and what happened earlier was possible only because Yu Mewi was used to threaten him. Or else, it would not be easy for anyone to bring a man  like Han Jian Yu down.

''No…'' a delicate feminine voice was heard in the background.

Mia who had just opened her mouth to say something, closed it.

He was with a… woman?

She leaned back on the chair and her narrowed eyes closed, her grip on the phone loosened. Now, it made sense.

Everything made sense, about why he was panting, why he was busy.

''If there is nothing, then I am hanging…''

''It's me,'' Mia interrupted him as she gripped the phone in her hand, her tone was indifferent as she spoke to him, ''I took Zixuan's phone from him to inform you about something.''

There was a pause on the other side before Han Jian Yu spoke up, ''Mia.''

''Mei is in hospital,'' Mia said without beating around the bush. It took her a few minutes to detail everything to him.
