If that family had a little bit of acceptance towards him, then they might have looked into the facts and realized that what a rare gem they were missing out on but their rusty mentalities were bound to old traditions and blind beliefs.
They took him as a product of his mother's bad karma, a cursed child, incapable, abnormal, weird, and even a good-for-nothing trash. She could feel her blood boiling just at the thought of it.
"What are you fuming for?"
Jun Zixuan snapped his fingers in front of her bringing her out of her reverie.
"Huh? Nothing.." She shook her head.
"I'm going to miss you," He hugged her.
"Why would you miss me?"
He glanced at her, "I'm leaving tomorrow. You won't miss me at all?"
"Don't act so sugary sweet. I am not used to it," Her lips curled in disgust, "Why would I miss you when I am coming with you?"
"You want to come with me?" His eyes flashed.
She nodded, "Of course. Didn't I say that I will cling to you even after I'm a ghost?" I'm sticking to my words."
He pressed a kiss on her forehead, "You are making it impossible for me to not love you more every day."
She wrapped an arm around his neck before burying her face in his neck, ''Then love me more. I know I'm so lovable," She mumbled as a smile made its way on her lips.
"Narcissistic."
"I heard that!!" She bit his neck. 'Why do I feel like I am forgetting something else too?' she wondered.
In an underground basement of Beijing.
Han Jian Yu pressed the pistol on the man's head who was half-dead by the point, "Speak. Where is your Captain?"
He tried to bite his tongue but the man grabbed his neck.
"I won't..."
"You won't tell, huh?" Han Jian Yu off-handedly shot one of his knees.
"AHHHH-" A heart-rending scream resounded in the dimly lit underground basement.
"Tell me his location and you might get an easy death," His dark eyes narrowed slightly.
Blood dripped from the corner of the man's mouth, "B-Base 2, Central City, Beijing..." He mumbled weakly.
"And which member of the Han Family had hired your services?" Han Jian Yu's gaze darkened.
"T-They.." His eyelids dropped before his head fell to the side.
"Boss, he is dead," One of the men murmured while the other stepped forward, extending a handkerchief towards him.
"Weak," Han Jian Yu's lips curled down in disgust as he grabbed the handkerchief from the man before cleaning his fingers.
"_"
His subordinates were speechless.
Boss, he survived 24 hours under your endless torture. Isn't it a bit mean to call him weak?
At this moment, Danny, the man's most trusted subordinate man walked towards him.
"What is it?" Han Jian Yu glanced at him disinterestedly.
"You all can leave," Danny glanced at the rest of the men who immediately bowed and left.
Other than Han Jian Yu, only Danny and his younger brother who had known the truth regarding Yu Mei's identity stayed behind.
Han Jian Yu raised an eyebrow, "Is it something about Mei?"
"Yes," Danny passed the phone to him.
Han Jian Yu read the headlines before looking at the picture, "What is it?"
"Boss, you don't find anything wrong with this?"
"She has hidden her identity as Leanne for way too long. Now that she had revealed it, there are bound to be rumors and gossips about her."
"But they look intimate," Sunny, Danny's younger brother spoke up looking at the picture where Jun Zixuan had thrown Yu Mei above his shoulder.
"This might not be a simple rumor," Danny added, agreeing to his brother.
"That's much better," Han Jian Yu nodded as he passed the phone back to the man. He raked his fingers through his dark hair, "She is young. I don't want her to miss out on all the fun in life, especially when she is given a second chance at life. She should go out with men, have fun, play around, and most importantly she should enjoy every day to its fullest..."
Danny and Sunny exchanged glances. Their expressions turning weirder with each passing second. Was it still the possessive siscon they knew? It looks like their boss has changed for good after everything that has happened in the past days.
But the man's next words shattered their hopes.
"...As long as she is not getting herself involved in serious commitments, I am fine with anything she does," The man said.
Danny and Sunny: "_" We should have known this.
"But Boss, Young Miss is an adult now," Not the toddler you used to carry around with you. Danny stepped forward to stand up for his Young Miss's rights "She should be in a relationship or get married if she wants to. Why do you want to stop her?"
"Because men are all jerks."
"Boss, you are a man too," Sunny chimed in.
Han Jian Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and the tall-statured man cleared his throat. "Except for my sister, Luoluo, and her mother, I have been a jerk to all the women I have come across till this day," He spoke nonchalantly as they walked out of the underground basement.
Danny and Sunny, who had seen countless women bawling their eyes out, sobbing and begging their boss for another night, getting heartbroken and going through many such situations could not agree more on this point.
"...Don't forget the first time she got into a serious relationship. I hadn't stopped her that time. And later, it turned into her last relationship. She came crying to me when that Lihao guy hurt her.''
"Zihao...He was called Zihao," Danny corrected him. It was obvious that his Boss was still not over the fact that their Young Miss hid that man's identity from him so that he would not avenge her. She even forbid him from investigating him.
"Whatever," Han Jian Yu got inside the black sedan, "Drive to the Base 2, Central City."
