"What if you regret it?"
"I won't."
The corner of her lips tugged up as Yu Mei looked at the fox, "I say...You better not regret your words in the future," Nobody wants to die so why would she? But she got this second life because of Mia and she was very clear about that.
Mia nodded, "AHH!!"
"What happened to you today? Why are you in so much pain?" She patted her back gently.
"I…I…" The fox turned fidgety.
Yu Mei frowned, "Why are you acting like a bride on her wedding night? What's there to be shy about?"
"I…am…."
"Oh…Are you pregnant?" Yu Mei's eyes widened, "But when did you copulate? You've been living inside my body all this while. Wait…Don't tell me your male partner is inside my body too? Is your whole family here? Am…Am I a den of foxes…?"
"No…It's nothing like that," Mia interrupted her, "I am not pregnant. I haven't done that with anyone yet…I…"
"Then, what's wrong with you?" She furrowed her brows.
"I am…hungry."
''Oh. That's how it is," Yu Mei nodded her head in understanding but something struck her, "You what…?"
…
Ren Mansion.
"Master, the Yu Family is currently in distress as they have lost two of their recent projects. But they are capable enough to deal with that," Steward Gu observed the man's expression before continuing, "Shall we continue giving troubles to them?"
"Yes," Jun Zixuan nonchalantly said loosening his collar.
"Master, the President of Dream Entertainment is your father-in-law after all. And we all know how much Miss Yu adores her family. What if she ends up hating you?" Steward Gu noticed how the man's expression changed slightly.
"Don't continue," The man said before glancing towards her room upstairs, "Have you arranged the bed in her room?"
"Yes."
Jun Zixuan looked at the servant who was passing by, "Wait…"
Lisa, who was deliberately walking slower, immediately paused. She turned around and bowed to the man, deliberately exposing her cleavage in the process, ''Yes, Master?" She raised her head only to find the man looking somewhere else.
As she followed his gaze, it turned out that he was looking at the closed door of Yu Mei's room. She clenched her fists. Why has their relationship changed so much from before?
"Has she eaten anything?" Jun Zixuan averted his gaze to look at the servant.
"Miss Yu has eaten all the meat we had in the mansion," All rich men have some desires from their women. Other than a good body and face, they would want their women to be prim and proper. So, how would Master take it if he knew how uncultured his wife was, "S-She…." Lisa hesitated, her fingers fiddling with her clothes as if she was afraid.
Jun Zixuan frowned, "You can continue," He did not understand why most of the women will stutter and fidget like this. Did they think it appeared cute? He has seen some of them acting like this even in the company.
It was simply disgusting. But he did not think it was necessary to tell that on their face. After all, it was their life, their choice.
Whether they want to shy away like shameplant or live life like a gangster had nothing to do with him.
The woman who was trying to act delicately did not know that the man she was seducing has already given her act 'disgusting' label. She meekly said, "She even reprimanded us when the meat was over. Miss Yu…threw tantrums and…"
Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes and without listening to her any further, walked upstairs.
Lisa cheered inwardly. Seems like Master is already provoked and is going to deal with the woman.
The way she was trying to seduce Jun Zixuan and incite a fight between the couple didn't go unnoticed by Steward Gu, ''Lisa, if I did not think about your sick mother, you would have lost your job till now. Don't go around provoking Master. When he takes things to his hand, there is neither pity nor sympathy,"
"But...What did I do, Steward Gu?" Lisa innocently blinked at the man.
"Ask yourself," He didn't spare her a glance before walking away.
Lisa looked at the man's retreating back. Wait till I become the Mistress of this house. Then you will bow to me and clean my shoes.
If this Yu Mei Zhen had not come into the picture, then Master would have been hers by now.
In Yu Mei's bedroom.
She covered Mia in the blanket before patting her head, "How is it?"
Mia burped, "I am…still hungry," she said in her girly voice.
"Can you make do with veg? There is no meat," As much as she felt guilty for making the cook work so hard, she was truly worried about this little one. Moreover, Mia was probably the first fox who wanted to eat properly cooked food like humans.
''I want meat…"
Yu Mei flicked the little thing's forehead, "Give you an inch and you will take a mile. You were so shy about asking for food a few hours ago that I thought there is something seriously wrong with you that can be resolved only if I die. And now, you don't have an ounce of embarrassment left in you?" Looking at Mia's, she laughed, "Are you feeling better now?"
"I…" Mia hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I think I…"
'Knock Knock'
Yu Mei glanced towards the door, "Mia, wait here. I'll see who it is."
He fox nodded obediently.
''You look cuter when you are like this," She pinched her cheeks before standing up and walking towards the door.
She opened the door only wide enough to let her head peek out.
Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow as he glanced at his wife who was acting as a thief.
"Hey," She smiled at him, "You want something?"
He nodded, "I…"
"What's that…?" She glanced behind him with a shocked face.
The man followed her gaze and turned around to look a the floor.
