Married to his secret crush

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.

''Yes, it's me,'' Mia opened her eyes as she looked at her body. She had the dress she was wearing when she left Ren Mansion on herself at the moment and Mia could see the scratches and wounds on her body.

In her fox form, the blood was cleaned and the wound healed but not completely. And those scratches and marks were hidden under her fur. But in her human form, they were very much visible.

Not that she cared pretty much about it, she was just looking at herself to avoid the gaze of the person who was standing in front of her at a distance. She did not dare to look at him, knowing that she might not like what she saw in those eyes which usually held teasing intent or tenderness for her.

As more time passed and Han Jian Yu did not say anything, Mia could hear the sound of her heart beating in her ears.

She inhaled a deep breath before tilting her head to look at him. By this time, his expressions were unreadable and she did not know what was going on in his mind while looking at his stoic face.

She wanted to peek into his thoughts but somewhere, she was afraid to know his unfiltered thoughts regarding her at this moment.

Would he think of her as weird? Or… a monster like what Han Sheng called her or maybe a dangerous beast…

'Even if he thinks of me like that, then… it's not like I can deny it,' A wry smile appeared on her face as she opened her mouth, ''This is who I am…'' She said, slowly stepping towards him.

Han Jian Yu wordlessly took a step back.

Mia paused in her tracks when she noticed the small movement from him. She felt a dull ache in her chest despite expecting something like this.

''I think you should leave now and I need to leave too,'' Mia said quickly before she turned around to leave the place. She was afraid she would make a fool of herself with every passing second that she stayed here.

She did not blame his reactions towards this. She expected much worse and she saw none but…but it did not help her with how she felt.

She blinked rapidly, feeling a heaviness in her eyes. These tears… Yu Mei must have rubbed off her crying nature on her.

''Where do you think you are going?" came the voice of the man which had her stop in the tracks.

''Back to Ren Mansion,'' Mia answered without looking back before she continued walking.

She could hear the sounds of approaching footsteps and her heart turned even more anxious than before.

''Is it that good?" Han Jian Yu asked as he stopped right behind her.

''What?" Mia was confused.

''Ren Mansion…'' Han Jian Yu glanced at her back, ''Is it that much of a good place to live?"

Mia was speechless.. Was it a proper time to talk about something like this? Still, she paused for a moment before nodding, ''I think it is,'' With that said, she once again continued walking.
