The question was asked but there was no response from Han Jian Yu.

''It was pretty good,'' He said after a long time, without mentioning anything more.

Mia walked towards him looking into his eyes deeply.

For a split second, Han Jian Yu felt like there was something more to her gaze that he could not comprehend. He has always been good at judging people, their thought processes from their faces. Being in politics had honed that skill of his but this lady in front of him was... unreadable.

And unpredictable.

He added in his heart when Mia hugged him. One of her hands had settled on his muscular waist while the other went to wrap itself around his neck. ''That's great,'' She whispered.

'Thump'

He heard it loud and clear as his heart skipped a beat. And he wonder if she heard it too.

He slowly raised his hand and moved it towards her back but she pulled back from him at this moment. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

''I-It's late. I should leave,'' Mia cleared her throat, turned around, and walked away. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

Han Jian Yu glanced at her retreating back and his eyes slowly darkened.

That night, Han Jian Yu laid in his bed, facing the ceiling as he glanced at the stars through the ceilings, something he never had the leisure or interest to do. Something intense swirled inside his usually nonchalant dark eyes.

In the other house, Mia also laid on the bed as she faced the ceiling. The stars looked especially beautiful today. The moon looked gorgeous. Han Jian Yu smelled so nice...

She covered her eyes with the back of her palm.

Even though she gave her word to Yu Mei that she would never do it, but still when Han Jian Yu looked so lost, she gave in to her heart and peeked into his thoughts. She had asked him about his childhood because before she contracted Mei, she had no idea of what he was like.

Not that she was not aware of his existence but she had never paid attention to him. As a fox spirit who was trapped in the Han Family house, she had not been interested in anything.

But when he casually said that his childhood was good, she could not restrain herself from hugging him.

She hurriedly shook her head, ''He just has to have the looks that melt me all the time,'' Mia pushed herself out of the bed as she walked out of the room.

She descended the stairs and walked towards the dining table before picking up the glass of water, wanting to divert her attention.

Lately, she has not been using her powers as she tried to live like a human. And she found it interesting. She also found her neighbor interesting.

Damn! Here it goes again. Mia was one step away from slapping herself. This man was such a curse. He was living rent-free in her head lately.

Taking a few gulps of water, she placed the glass aside and took a seat, and placed her legs on the dining table.

Hearing some sounds from the other side, she tilted her head. And her eyes met with a pair of deep-set of eyes.

Han Jian Yu was sitting there on his couch, looking at her quietly.

She wondered if she should say 'Hello, what's up?' or 'You should go to bed. It is not good for your health to not sleep till now' or 'Why are you awake?'

All three phrases sounded weird inside her heart. The first one was very stiff.

And the rest... Other than her father, she had never said such caring words to any male.

'Knock Knock'

Mia snapped out of her daze hearing the sound of the constant knocks on the door.

Her gaze instinctively went towards the glass partition and the couch was empty.

She walked towards the entrance and opened the door, ''You aren't sleeping yet?" She asked him.

''I am standing here in front of your door. So, you tell me, am I sleeping?" He asked her.

''No...'' Mia whispered, ''Do you want to come in?"

He raised an eyebrow but did not say anything when she stepped aside to let him in. He stepped inside before walking towards the dining table, ''Why are you not sleeping yet?' He asked, his tone was low and she caught his words before they dispersed in the air.

''I had a few things on my mind,'' She replied.

''Oh,'' He nodded.

Then, the room went silent again. there was a stiffness between them that did not exist before and one could sense the tension inside the room.

''Can I drink this?" He pointed his chin towards the water.

She nodded, 'Sure.''

He picked up the glass before gulping down the entire content in three big gulps. His Adam's Apple bobbed up and down slowly, while his skin seemed to be a little pale under the glow of the moonlight.

A thin trail of water oozed from the corner of his mouth as it moved towards his chin. She could see his tanned, muscular chest through the black satin robe that he had donned.

Mia realized that he drank from the same glass as her. Back in ancient times, this was considered very intimate and was only done between husband and wife. In the current times, this is also considered as an indirect kiss between a couple.

'These facts are all exaggerated,' She thought to herself.

''It's quite late. You should go to sleep,'' She said when he placed the glass on the table.

Han Jian Yu looked into her hazel eyes with a deep gaze. He stepped towards her and she took a step back from him.

He took another few steps towards her and she kept retreating.

Mia averted her gaze.

''Alright,'' He said as he took a step back from her and walked towards the door.

She followed after him, ''Mm,'' was all she could utter.

As he walked out of the door, she nodded at him, ''Good Night,'' she said.

''Good Night,'' He glanced at her.

Mia moved her hand to the doorknob to close the door and just as the gap between the wall and the door was almost closed, a hand pressed on the gap preventing the door from moving further.
