"How was your day?" Asked Jun Zixuan.
Yu Mei lowered her seat as she leaned back in a comfortable position, "It was fine," After all she did not bump into anyone from the Yu Family and there was no extended unnecessary drama for her, "But I hate the food in the cafeteria."
He stepped on the accelerator driving out of the place, "Why?" He asked, glancing at her from the rearview mirror. He noticed how her face scrunched up in disgust and his lips slightly curved up.
''Not to mention that it wasn't good as the food made by you, it was also not edible to me," She complained. She wasn't being picky but that sandwich really tasted weird and also smelled bad. She patted the man's shoulder, "Feed me well in the future. I'll depend on you for that."
The man chuckled.
"Is that a yes?" She smiled.
"Can I say no?" He raised an eyebrow.
''Of course…" She narrowed her eyes dangerously, "You can't. Humph!" Who knows how long they will be staying together?
It was better to take a little advantage of him and eat more of the heavenly food made by Michelin Star Chef Jun Zixuan.
"Silly," The man mumbled under his breath.
"En?" She glanced at him, "Did you say something?"
"Are you hungry?"
Before she could say something, her stomach rumbled in protest. She shrugged, ''I guess I am.''
…
"What is this place?" Yu Mei glanced at the small restaurant in front of them. It was not like a hut but in comparison to the five-star restaurants, it appeared very small.
"Aren't you hungry? Let's go,'' he held her hand and dragged her inside the restaurant.
As they sat on a table in a silent corner, he placed the order while her gaze roamed around the place.
The place was small and there were many people inside making the space look congested but there was a cozy feeling in the air.
It didn't take long for the waiter to come back and serve the food. There was no over-the-top food, it was just a simple set of three to four dishes including rice, steamed dumplings, hot and sour soup, chicken, and broccoli.
After eating the sandwich in the cafeteria, she was not very eager to experiment with new food again.
"Try it," said Jun Zixuan, noticing the hesitation on her face.
She pursed her lips before taking a bite of the dumpling. ''Mmm…" She licked her bottom lip, "This is good.''
"It is,'' He nodded, noticing how she started stuffing her food without hesitation anymore.
Ren Mansion.
"The food was so satisfying." She played with the tip of her braid as they walked upstairs, "Do you often eat there?' She was surprised a rich guy like him would go to such places for lunch. It wasn't quite befitting of his status.
"I haven't gone there for years."
Does that mean he used to go there before? She did not ask the question even though it came to her mind.
They paused in front of the Master bedroom, ''Are you coming inside?"
"I ate a bit too much and I feel very lazy right now. Gonna take a nap in my room.''
He nodded before getting inside the room and closing the door behind him.
Stretching her body a bit, Yu Mei walked towards her room. She glanced at the left and right before entering the pin and unlocking the door.
As she entered her room, she did not notice a shadow hovering behind the distant pillar. It was the maid Lisa who has been going against her from the very first day.
"Why did the bitch look around before going inside the room?" Lisa muttered to herself, "Is she hiding something inside? Is she…Is she provably keeping a man?" She was noticing from a few days how cautiously the woman locked her bedroom door. She even installed a pin there.
Yu Mei Zhen's promiscuous past was not hidden from anyone even if they were the servants in the mansion.
The more she thought like that, the more Lisa believed her intuition to be true. How could a slutty woman like her live without a man?
''Even though Master is caring for her lately but that doesn't mean he will sleep with an obese woman like her. Did she hide a man in her room to get fucked?" Lisa fell in contemplation. But how did she bring inside a man with Ren Mansion's tight security system?
No matter what, she will have to do something to go inside the room. Only then will she be able to find the truth.
Unaware of the trouble brewing outside, Yu Mei slumped on the king-sized bed.
Propping her forehead on the palm, she curiously looked at the cutie pie who was sitting in a meditating position. What was that called? Ah, cultivation!
Her piercing stare caused Mia to open her eyes, "Why are you looking at me like that?" The girl smiled, it was a typical vixen smile capable of charming anyone.
"I want to know more about you," Yu Mei said as she sat up on the bed.
"As long as it is not about your family. I will tell you everything."
"And why can't you tell about them?" Putting a pillow on her lap, Yu Mei folded her arms atop it as she questioned Mia.
''I've been there with you for two decades. I know what kind of person you are," The little girl looked at her with a disgusted gaze as she stroked her face with her index finger.
Yu Mei stayed silent as she observed Mia's expression. Her eyelids twitched slightly as she gritted her teeth, "As kind as I am, I don't like such undisguised insults."
"Oh? You want disguised ones?" The disgusted expression disappeared from her face as Mia smiled sweetly, "I know what you are," She rolled her eyes skywards before asking, "Is this disguised enough?"
"Mia!!"
Mia sighed, "You are impulsive. I don't want you to waste the second life you absorbed from me."
"We are not talking about Hans. I said I want to know more about you. Like your origin..and why are you here? I don't think there are magical creatures like you in the 21st century…" She eyed the fox who was now a baby girl, "Moreover, what do you mean by I absorbed a life from you?"
"I am…"
