Chapter 439 - Ruthless (1/2)

Mia tilted her chin. She glanced at the man standing in front of her.

The sky was gradually darkening but under the dim lights of the lamp post, she could see his face. One of his hands was tucked inside his pockets as he looked at her.

She did not know if the lights were playing tricks on her or if he really looked a bit disheveled, unlike his usual proper President self. There were apparent dark circles under his eyes and his hair was in a mess. The top buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned giving her a clear glimpse of his chest.

Mia tried to avert her gaze but her gaze was stubborn, lingering there persistently and indecently taking in the sight until the man moved.

The realization of being caught red-handed dawned on her and Mia immediately straightened up. She laughed awkwardly, ''You want your shirt?”

Han Jian Yu noticed how hoarse her voice was, ''What do you think?” He stepped closer towards her.

Mia's grip on her trolley loosened and she stepped back, ''I think you can have it. Wait here and I will go change into something else,'' she flashed him an 'I got this' smirk as she turned around.

But before she could take another step, her wrist was grabbed and her body twirled. The next thing she knew she was pulled into his arms.

Her heart skipped a beat.

''Where do you think you are going?” one of his hands was wrapped around her waist while the other settled on her bottom.

At the sound of his cold voice, Mia snapped back to her senses. Why was she even running away in the first place? ''I don't want to stay with you anymore. Thanks for taking care of me for the past two months but that should be it. Let's call it off here,'' she raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear only for it to be grabbed by him.

He held her wrist firmly, his thumb stroking circles on her skin, ''Call it off?” he whispered, ''Call what off, Mia?” he repeated looking straight into her hazel eyes, his tone was dangerous.

''Whatever there was between us,'' Mia replied within a beat.

''And why?''

''What why?” she frowned.

''Why are we calling it off?” he moved her hand as he locked both her wrists behind her back holding it with one hand, his other hand tightened around her waist.

''We slept together, it was good and later we went through a few trials, faced the troubles together. Now that everything is over, we can end it here…''

''What if I don't want to?” he interrupted her.

Mia narrowed her eyes, ”I want to end it.''

''I don't want to,'' he repeated.
