Chapter 313 - Miss Neighbor

"The old man was looking at me quite begrudgingly," Yu Mei leaned back on the car seat as she spoke to Jun Zixuan, "Perhaps he thinks that I stole his granddaughter's man?"

He shook his head, "He should know that there is nothing between her and me."

"But in his eyes, you were engaged," She said after some time. In reality, she did not care much about the matter as it was true that the old man fainted in the middle of the road and it was not staged.

Although he appeared stern, there was no malicious intent in his eyes. 

As Jun Zixuan remained silent, she glanced at his side profile, "I have thought it over..." As he glanced at her, she continued, "Let's look into this Han Family." 

Initially, she did not want to do so but their paths kept crossing with her. Be it Han Jingyi or Old Master Han. 

"You don't think he will object to this?" He finally spoke. 

"Let's not tell brother," Yu Mei said, "Since he has taken things into his hands, I know he will deal with this well. But I don't want to be the one staying in the dark only to be caught off guard later."

Initially, she did not mind it but right now, it would be for the best if they knew who they were up against. 

Jun Zixuan nodded, "That's what I wanted too."

She laughed, "How could I not know?" Moreover, it was better to get a gist of this situation. She did not want Han Jian Yu to go through all these dangers alone no matter how powerful he was. At least, in any case, if things went wrong then Jun Zixuan and her will be there to back him up.

"I'll ask my elites to get the data of the Han Family's current situation," She said after some thought, "Meanwhile, you can get the hackers of your IT team to dig into their history."

He nodded, "A good idea," The corner of his lips tugged up.

...

After his conversation with his sister, Han Jian Yu felt weirdly grumpy, not quite believing that she is head over heels for that guy.

As much as he hated to admit it, he was incredibly jealous. 

And that could be figured out by the way his fingers slammed and hit the keyboard of the laptop as he worked while sitting on the couch of the living room. 

Suddenly reminded about something, he raised his head and glanced at the glass partition. There was no particular noise or movement from his neighbor since morning.

Mia returned to her house after finishing the rest of the ad shoot that was left out because of her sudden disappearance. 

She removed her trench coat and threw it to the couch. Just as she was about to unbutton her shirt, she paused and tilted her head to the side. 

Her eyebrows rose slightly as her eyes landed on the man who had his gaze fixed on her. 

If she did not remember wrong, the couch was initially faced to the opposite side. Since when was it kept facing towards her house?

Mia walked towards the glass wall, all the while not taking her eyes off him. 

Han Jian Yu pushed himself to his feet as he walked towards her, ''Is there something that you want to say...'' He paused for a moment before adding, ''...Dear Neighbor?" 

''Are you traumatized by something?"

The corner of his lips twitched, ''Why do you think so?" 

Mia glanced at him doubtfully but she did not say anything. This cold man was acting rather weird lately as if he had taken the wrong pill. ''Where is the curtain that I asked you to hang on this partition?"

''This is a glasshouse and this wall here is made of glass. Do you want me to drill a hole in it?'' He glanced at her questioningly. 

''Do you take me for a fool?'' Mia raised an eyebrow, ''You can drill a hole in the non-glass part ceiling.''

''And that will get my house dirty. Will you clean it for me?" 

Mia shook her head, ''Her Highness never does odd jobs for anyone.''

''That's some bursting confidence that you have,'' Han Jian rolled his eyes. 

Mia frowned as she looked at him, ''You are the President of Amaranthine. Don't you need to go back to your country anymore? Don't you have work?"

''Of course not, my sister is staying here with a fox. So, I have to stay here just in case she needs me. My works can be done from here,'' Except for the emergencies where he had to head back to Amaranthine for the speech and other meetings.

Sigh... Even he thinks Jun Zixuan is a fox. Mia laughed in her heart, ''Foxes are cool.''

Han Jian Yu was reminded about the white fox that mysteriously appeared and disappeared from his life. 

Looking at the man who suddenly went quiet, Mia spoke up, ''What I meant to say is you are a rich man. You can just find yourself a new house. Why bicker with me over this one?"

''You have a rich friend, rich brother. Why don't you find yourself a new house? I am staying here,'' Han Jian Yu shrugged. 

Mia frowned, ''You don't want to hang curtain, you don't want to change house, you have turned your couch in this direction...could it be possible that you want to keep ogling at Her Highness' beauty day in and day out,'' She winked at him naughtily, ''Am I right?''

Han Jian shook his head with an expressionless face as he turned around to leave, ''You are just so-so. I won't ogle at you, Miss Neighbor.''

A certain Princess who was just being playful while teasing him almost spat a mouthful of blood. ''Mia...I am called Mia,'' She shouted as she glanced at his retreating back. So-So? He said she was just so-so? 

Han Jian Yu paused for a moment before he continued heading upstairs. The tips of his ears turned red at an angle where she could not see it.
