Chapter 440 - I Don't Like You

At times like this, Mia felt like she should hate Han Jian Yu for this. He brought out the best and the worst in her. From worst, she meant worst.

She was never so sensitive to the point of tears around anyone else. It has been him. Always him. 

Han Jian Yu was stunned. He blinked once, twice before he tilted his head to the side to look at the driver who was waving at her, probably noticing her luggage. 

Han Jian Yu shook his head and the man took the signal to leave. 

''You..'' Mia struggled to move when she noticed him shooing away the driver, ''Leave me. I need to go..''

''Shut up, Princess,'' Han Jian Yu picked her up in a princess carry before he walked towards his house. 

At this very moment, Mia hoped she still had her powers so she can kick this man out of her sight. Annoying jerk! ''Who do you think you are to order me around like this?" 

''Your future husband.'' 

''You…'' She opened her mouth but no words came out of it. 

''But still, let me rephrase it. Will you please shut up, Princess?" This time, he sounded like he was pleading for it. 

Mia gaped at him.

He placed his finger on the lock screen and unlocked the door. The door opened with a 'click' and he walked inside the house. 

Han Jian Yu walked towards the luxurious couch in the living room. He took a seat before adjusting her position on his lap. 

His hand gently stroked her back. He leaned closer to her before kissing both her eyes, ''For someone as smart as you, I feel like you are such a stupid little thing?" 

Mia frowned, "Who are you calling a stupid little thing?" 

''You, who else is here?" Han Jian Yu chuckled, ''You know most of the things and you are smart in 99% of the things you do, calculative and sly, just like how I like it but why is it that the remaining 1% has to be me where you are the epitome of dumbness?'' 

Mia blinked. She thought he was praising her but then he had to add the other line, ''It's fine if you don't like me. You don't have to phrase it like this.'' 

For everything else, she had a definite answer or conclusion or a plan but Han Jian Yu was like a maze with one entry and no exits. Once she got into him, all her wits have been tested and rebounded and she was left with nothing but a dawdling heart that didn't know what it really wanted. 

''Yes, I don't like you.'' 

Mia bit his lips hard, her canines piercing into his bottom lips and she didn't let go of it until he hissed. 

Han Jian Yu laughed at her blank face before he leaned closer to her, ''I love you, Mia. I have loved you for a very long time. Maybe it was the pottery time or maybe way before that when you were trying to act cool with me all the while struggling to keep your eyes off my body. I had this thought multiple times that you are mine even though I kept ignoring that for as long as I could. But these past days without having you around, I knew what I always wanted and…'' 

He paused as he wiped her tears with his thumb. He gently stroked her cheeks, ''...And how much of a fool I have been while trying to dodge my feelings which could not have been more obvious.'' 

''So..'' Mia cleared her throat, ''You mean everything you said?" 

Han Jian Yu nodded earnestly. 

'So cute' Mia gulped, ''But I am not taking you in. After sleeping with Her Highness, you can't sleep with another woman. That's unacceptable for me. Hmph!'' 

Han Jian Yu laughed, ''Well, after sleeping with Her Highness, the rest of the women look like vegetables to me.'' 

''But you already slept with a vegetable,'' Mia glared at him. 

''That vegetab…woman was one of Han Sheng's people. I was talking to her about his past dealings and even Danny and Sunny were present there.'' 

Mia frowned. ''But why was she making those erotic sounds in the background?" Did she misunderstand him?

''She was scalded by the coffee,'' Han Jian Yu stifled his laughter as he looked at her awkward face. 

''Don't laugh,'' Mia glared at him, ''I was so jealous. Don't you dare laugh at me.'' 

He was amused, ''How come Miss Mia is jealous? We are just two people who slept with each other and went through trials together. What makes you jealous even if I am with some other woman?" 

''You can't be with any other woman,'' Mia placed her palm on his chest, her index finger drawing small circles on his skin. 

''Why not? Who was it who said they will live their life as they want and I can live mine as I wish?" Han Jian Yu seemed to be contemplating over it.

''I take it back. It doesn't count,'' Mia shook her head. 

Han Jian Yu frowned as he tucked a loose piece of her striking silver hair behind her ear, his eyes caught sight of the lack of her birthmark on her forehead, ''But I was seriously considering it.'' 

Mia pushed herself from his lap as she stood up straight. She would lose her rational thinking ability if she kept sitting on his lap, ''Cough…'' she took two steps back before she sat on the coffee table behind, ''We did not start on the right note..''

''You are right. You were all after my body and she got bored of me once she had me in her bed,'' Han Jian Yu made a face as if he has suffered many grievances. 

Her jaws dropped, ''Don't interrupt me when I am talking,'' she flipped her hair before folding one of her legs above the other. 

''Alright, Princess,'' he straightened up on the couch as if he was ready for negotiating with her.
