Married to his secret crush

Mia glanced at the wounds caused by the hits of the whip. A flash of red flickered in her hazel eyes. She closed her eyes for a few seconds before she opened them.

Looking at the glaring cuts on his back where his flesh was peeking out, she felt like going back to Han Sheng right now and shredding him to pieces. Since he was not Han Jian Yu's biological father, that made everything easier.

When she was looking into Han Sheng's memories, she did see something like a fire but she did not pay much attention to it at that time. Little did she know that that was the beginning of all incidents.

And somewhere, she blamed herself for everything that happened. If she had been careful, then nothing like this would have happened.

Her ears flopped at the thought and she quietly grazed her paw on Han Jian Yu's back.

Hearing him inhaling a deep breath, she paused for a moment before slowly gliding it on his wounds.

Han Jian Yu suddenly felt a cool sensation on his back and the burn and ache from earlier gradually started disappearing.

He closed his eyes, letting her do what she wanted. By this time, he was certain that she wouldn't harm him and after having been living with her baby form for a long time, he felt like he met an acquaintance when he saw her.

That was another thing that the acquaintance turned out to be…something else than what he expected.

There were a lot of things that he was still trying to digest and one of them was his real identity. It did not matter to him whose child he was but the information still came out of nowhere. And maybe because Han Sheng formed his mind that way, he never looked into such things, nor did he ever hold any such doubts against him.

At that time, all he ever wanted was for his duties to be over so he could go back to his maternal grandparents… Or so what he thought they were.

''What exactly are you?" He whispered when he felt the cooling sensation on the back of his neck.

Though he couldn't see it, it did not take him much to understand that she was somehow…healing his wounds. He could feel the discomfort in his body slowly disappearing.

Mia ignored his words as she quietly focused on the wounds on the back of his neck.

''Don't act like you don't understand human language. It's too late for that,'' Han Jian Yu turned around when he felt her retracting her paw from his back.

Mia stepped back from him quietly as she felt some weird changes in her body.

'No… Not right now,' She pressed her lips and turned around to dash away.

Han Jian Yu frowned but before he could stand up and follow after her, he saw the huge feral shrinking in size.

The corner of his lips twitched when he saw the huge powerful and scary fox from earlier turn into a small fluffball like baby fox who was trying to run away from him with those tiny legs barely covering a few inches. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

He grabbed her from the back of her neck before he picked her up, ''Where do you think you are going, huh?" He asked as he brought her closer to his face.

His eyes flickered slightly when he looked into her hazel eyes. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Mia blinked cutely, inwardly chastising herself. When had she ever been this shameless, trying to buy a human over with her cuteness?

Han Jian Yu narrowed his eyes, ''Tell me what kind of thing are you? What's your origin? And what are you doing here?"

Mia closed her eyes as she let her head nod off to one side. It was best to play dead in a situation like this. After all, he was not expecting her to talk to him, was he?

"It's too late to act dead and I know that you can comprehend human language,'' Han Jian Yu narrowed his eyes and an indecipherable look flashed in his eyes that Mia missed because she had closed her eyes at the moment.

She was determined to play dead at the moment. He won't be cruel enough to force open her eyes and she was certain of it. So, she decided to stay in that stale position till he got tired of this and decided to let her go.

What confused her more was that why did he even follow and ran this far after her? Was it his curiosity regarding her? Did he not find her scary after everything that happened there?

Han Jian Yu quietly glanced at the little creature that he was holding in his hand.

Mia's eyes snapped open as she felt her paws being placed down on the ground. She tilted her head to look at Han Jian Yu.

Han Jian Yu pushed himself to his feet, ''I am grateful to you for… healing my wounds…'' He said as he picked up his half torn suit jacket from the ground. He looked around for the shirt that he was wearing but he could not see it anywhere and he remembered that earlier the shirt disappeared into thin air.

Mia glanced at him quietly. His messy hair was resting above his brows while his dark eyes were slightly narrowed, those dense eyelashes casting a shadow on his cheeks.

Under the pale glow of moonlight, he did not look much like his usual self. He was less aloof and more lonely.

Mia had to tilt her head completely upwards to get a proper look at his face.

''Since you don't want me to keep you here, you can leave,'' Han Jian Yu said indifferently, ''I was curious about you, I have never seen something like you before and maybe that sparked my curiosity and unknowingly I ended up following after you to feed my curiosity. To think that, you once lived with me under the same roof but I never noticed anything amiss. And I don't plan to keep you here against your will.. You are free to leave.''
