Chapter 280 - Everything?

''We had some plans'' Yu Mei waved a hand, ''But they all went down the drain," She narrated everything in short to Mia before slumping on the couch. 

Mia sighed, listening to the way the couple almost fought for nothing.

''You mean to say that she used to stay in your body?" Jun Zixuan asked. 

Instead of Yu Mei who was yawning on the couch, it was Mia who answered, "Yes," As he raised an eyebrow, "Don't worry. Our connection was off most of the time as I was cultivating so I didn't see what's going on the outside. Except for the times when you two fight and she will come bitching about you.''

Yu Mei choked on her yawn as she felt Jun Zixuan's piercing stare on her. 

"…After I had access to the headquarters of Rosette and I got my money and influence back, I used it to get some basic documents and identity proof for her and arranged an apartment so that she can enjoy her freedom and live her last life as she wishes,'' Yu Mei switched the topic carefully. 

"But people still find my background questionable,'' Mia could not help but bring it up, ''It was fine when I was being idle in my place but as I started modeling, there have been many people questioning about my family, whether I am an orphan, which orphanage I grew up in, my origin…" Showbiz was not a place where a person's privacy could be protected. Once the ad shoot was over, she was sure to rose to fame and so will her issues.

"We will do something about it,'' Yu Mei sighed, "Mia, why did you come here? I was only trying to converse with you in mind…''

''It's not about what you are trying. It is about what you want. When you were calling me, you wanted to see me in front of you and kept calling me repeatedly by which you ended up summoning me here. Didn't I tell you about it?" Mia rolled her eyes, ''Moreover, you could have called me by phone.''

"I forgot,'' Yu Mei blinked. It was true that she was quite desperate about coming clean to Jun Zixuan and amidst the chaos in her mind, she lost her sense of logic. 

''Dumb!" Both Mia and Jun Zixuan said at once. 

''Your whole family dumb!" She glared at them, hugging a cushion in her arms. 

''That counts too. You are our family,'' Mia smiled slyly. 

Jun Zixuan nodded.

''You…'' Yu Mei closed her eyes. "But why could he see you now? He could not see you before….''

"Lady, we share a blood contract. Sometimes, when your thoughts and will are as strong as today, it forms an effect on me and I have to comply with it willingly or unwillingly…" Mia sighed. Even she realized it pretty late that Jun Zixuan was able to see her. She was initially shocked by the turn of events, "…I was asking you to be honest with him since ages ago but you had to do surgical strike on me…'' Mia paused hearing the soft snoring sounds. 

She glanced at the woman who was sleeping on the couch with her legs placed on her lap.

Jun Zixuan pushed himself to his feet as he carried her from the couch and she rubbed her face on his chest, her mouth slightly parted like a fish. He smiled before carrying her upstairs in the way that led to the bedroom. 

Mia smiled as she glanced at their retreating back. She stood up from the couch while looking around the place, the stars that sparkled through the glass ceilings. She walked to the glass walls towards her left before taking a seat on the chaise lounge, glancing at the sparkling waves of the sea that crashed against the island. 

Her hazel eyes sparkled as she glanced at the distant sky. 

Hearing the sounds of approaching footsteps, Mia turned around to glance at Jun Zixuan who was walking towards her with two coffee mugs in his hand. He passed one to her before taking a seat on the other side of the chaise lounge. 

She was expecting his presence already, "Is it poisoned?" She eyed the coffee mug in her hand. 

"It could have been but she cares for you,'' Jun Zixuan nonchalantly said. 

Mia laughed, "I know what you are thinking about but I can't change the past.''

"You could have saved her,'' Jun Zixuan coldly said, "….With whatever these powers that you have.'' 

"I never wanted to be contracted to a human but she was my only way out of that spell. I did not play any tricks. I quietly stayed inside her body, waiting for the day she will die so that I can get my freedom. The day when she was assassinated, I could have saved her but I did not care whether she lived or died. And I thought that it is her fate whether she survives or not. But I did not expect her to be able to absorb my powers. She sucked my last life….probably it was her will power or it was her desire to survive…that she managed to control our contract on her accord….'' Mia sighed, ''I am quite amazed at how it has changed over the months. How wanting to kill her has switched to killing anyone for her,'' The day Yu Mei risked her life to save her from those goons, Mia knew that she was a fool and before she knew it, she was equally protective of that fool. 

Jun Zixuan glanced at the woman, ''It is better that it switched,'' He could not imagine losing her while being clueless about the cause of it. 

Mia sighed, ''It's already in the past like I said. Don't look at me like I have murdered your woman,'' Even she felt goosebumps under his cold gaze. She took a sip of the coffee, ''Has she told you about herself?" 

"She did,'' Jun Zixuan averted his gaze to look at the sea. 

''Everything?" Mia glanced at him curiously.

''Yes.''

''You should thank me,'' Mia took another sip of the coffee, the velvety taste soothing her throat. This man's skills were extraordinary for sure. She wondered if this was his 'thank you' coffee for she could be counted as a reason for which Yu Mei was revived.

''Thank you for what?"
