Chapter 28: Out the back door
Mia’s trembling gaze swept over his cold, hard face and met him straight on, “Master Jun, your money is a lot less necessary if it’s to cover up what I saw that day in the office. Miss Lai is your girlfriend, there’s no need to bribe me!”
Asher’s hand snapped to a halt, a sense of irritation at being pried into his mind flooding through him, “Damn it, when did it become your turn to say anything about my business?”
“Why did Master Jun go out of his way to give me money if he didn’t think it was necessary? Master Jun didn’t have to give me money for that, I can’t afford it, I want it, and you can’t afford it, Master Jun.” Mia looked obstinately at Asher’s face with a forlorn look.
“Like I said, it’s just payment. You gave your body, so this is what you deserve.” Asher frowned arrogantly, “Take it or leave it, this is the only thing I will give you and you must accept it. Otherwise, there’s no point in our relationship existing.”
“Do you have to humiliate me like this?” Mia was almost shaking with anger at him, unable to restrain the tingling feeling inside her any longer.
“Humiliate?” A deeper sneer and mockery flashed in Asher’s eyes, “You think I’m humiliating you? You’re the one who doesn’t recognize our relationship, I told you a long time ago that you were just a pet of mine, don’t put unnecessary emotional games on me.”
A look as cold as ice smashed deep into Mia’s heart, and Asher’s icy words were like that one sharp needle point stabbing her hard in the chest.
“You’re the one who moved the taboo first, it’s not my fault, you’re just a pet and only have this one purpose of warming my bed for me.” Asher raised an eyebrow, his eyes cold and his tone was one of complete disinterest.
But God knows, he just didn’t like the feeling of having his emotions swayed by an unfamiliar emotion. This restlessness and unease and inexplicable throbbing that frightened Asher.
He had to curb that emotion long before it got to him in a bigger way.
Mia shivered, bone-chilling cold running abruptly up her spine, and looking into his cold, hard eyes, she knew he was telling the truth, that she was just a pet, serving as nothing more than a bed warmer. She bit her lip tightly, trying to get her broken emotions to piece themselves back together.
Since all this man needed was a pet, she would never do anything extra again, just play the role of a pet, she would shut her love away forever and this man would never get it from her again!
Because he was the one who threw away her love like it was nothing!
Mia slowly opened her eyes, they were cold as ice, and the icy stare gave Asher a moment of bewilderment.
“Since you only need a pet, then as you wish.” The icy voice was completely different from the one she had before, Mia’s lips even curved into a sneer, “Master Jun please don’t worry, I won’t interfere with Master Jun in anything. It was my fault this time, I shouldn’t have gone to the office without saying hello, let alone seeing something I shouldn’t have seen, I’m sorry!”
Such coldness shouldn’t be hers, yet she was the one he needed in front of him. Asher’s eyes, dark and frightening.
Ritual to the emotions have fluctuated, Asher immediately adjusted himself, eyes flashing a sharp light, dark gray eyes in this moment more unfathomable, voice low and strong, “I am Asher, women in my eyes, never just playthings, you want something I can not afford to give and can not give, because that thing does not exist in my body. ”
He existed for the Jun family, for the group, but never for feelings.
A twinge in her heart, Mia’s bemused eyes looked up at him and tucked the card he’d given her into her pants pocket, “I’ve known about this for a long time.”
Knowing that he was a heartless man, knowing that she was destined to be the one to be hurt, only what she hadn’t expected was for this man to humiliate herself like this.
Hearing her words, Asher’s gloomy eyes gave way to even more unreadable emotions.
Mia’s cold eyes looked at him again, “I made a bet with myself, but I lost, so I’ll be a good pet to you, just your pet.”
Her blandness was all he wanted, but after seeing how quickly she had actually regained her composure, he was damned with a loss he had never felt before!
For the next few days, Mia was very calm, so calm that no joy or sorrow could be seen, and her whole being was so quiet that she was almost absent from existence.
She had learned to control her emotions over the past few days and was now able to take in her joys and sorrows with complete ease, thanks to Master Asher’s exercises.
On this day, she sat quietly within the garden, quietly thinking about her mind. Her eyes were slightly downcast, and her small white face had a transparent despondency.
“Thinking about what’s so engrossing?” A familiar voice rang in Mia’s ears with a hint of concern and teasing.
Mia sighed slightly, there shouldn’t be anyone else but the debonair Liam Jun who spoke in that tone, she frowned at him with a big smile on his face, “Why you again!”
“Why can’t it be me?” Liam Jun chuckled as he pulled a chair from the side, his eyes smiling as he stared intently at the woman in front of him, “You looked so engrossed just now, I thought you were thinking of me!”
Mia gave him a lazy look and said without a smile, “Liam Jun, don’t you have anything else to do every day? If there’s really nothing to do, you can go chase girls.”
“This is something that I so want to be doing.” Liam Jun put both hands together, looking helpless, and his pretty, unearthly eyes fell to Mia across the room.
Mia glanced at him lazily with a bemused look on her face “Liam Jun, can you be more decent? I really don’t understand you.”
“You don’t need to understand me, I understand you just fine.” Liam Jun grinned with a bemused look.
“Ugh, I’m speechless with you.” Her bemused gaze shifted from his brilliant face and she asked with a slight frown “What do you want here today, Asher isn’t here.”
Deep eyes flickered, and a curve curved on Asher’s lips, “I’m not looking for my oldest brother, I came over here today to find you. Aren’t you afraid of being bored out of your mind if you’re bored here every day, why don’t, we go out and relax?”
Looking into the sincere dark eyes in front of her, Mia asked lightly with a glint in the bottom of her eyes, “Where are you taking me?”
Deep eyes flashed slyly, and Liam Jun’s upright body pranced out of his chair, followed by pulling Mia’s wrist and walking quickly towards the outside of the villa.
Suddenly pulled up Mia, with a shocked look at the man pulling herself forward at a fast pace, was forced to follow him closely, her voice a little helpless, “Liam Jun, what are you mad about!”
Liam Jun smiled at her and didn’t say anything, just pulled her carefully past the doorman and cautiously out the back door. Pulling Mia to the front of the long-parked car, he let go of her wrist and said with a smirk, “You sure you don’t want to go out?”
Mia froze slightly, “No … no.”
“Then go, if you hesitate, the doorman will come out after you!” Liam Jun winked at her mischievously and shoved her inside the car door without waiting for Mia to respond.
The car is speeding along.
Looking at Liam Jun’s concentration on driving, Mia laughed indifferently and said, “Liam Jun, aren’t you afraid that Asher will take you apart? How dare you take me out in private!”
“Mia,” Liam Jun said quietly as he suddenly quieted down, looked deeply at her, and said quietly, “From now on, you’ll all belong to me!”
His words were so abrupt that they startled Mia, a blush surging up her little face, pretending not to hear Liam Jun’s words and quickly turning her head towards the window, pretending to look out of it.
Seeing her keep staring out the window, Liam Jun’s dark eyes welled up with a hint of helplessness, and he gave her a quiet look without making a sound to disturb her.
As the car moved on, a scene passed before their eyes, and a glimmer of pleasure finally came to Mia’s face. There was a white farmhouse in the middle of a large lush green farmland, the market house was simple, but the feeling of freshness was not like the concrete jungle.
“It’s the time when the tulips are in full bloom, you won’t regret coming out this time.” Seeing Mia looking mesmerized, Liam Jun said with a smile.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Red tulip ribbons resemble velvet carpets, orange ribbons look like the red hues of a sunset, purple ribbons feel extraordinarily romantic, and the stark prominence of yellow ribbons dazzles the eye amidst the various colors.
What was before her eyes was a sea of flowers.
Liam Jun looked at her quietly, his dark eyes gathering the usual roguishness and surfacing with a burst of tenderness. He couldn’t help but take out his camera and point it at a stunning Mia, with her white face, clear, bottomless eyes, slightly curved eyes, and deep pearly eddies.
Mia looked up, surprised, at Liam Jun who was smiling at her, a hint of panic in the bottom of her eyes. She could feel that Liam Jun’s eyes seemed to hold something in them as he looked at her.
“Such a great view, of course it’s important to archive it and save it for later viewing so you don’t lose out!” Liam Jun held up the camera in his hand and explained with a smile.
At his self-explanation, Mia quickly turned her head away, her heartbeat a little vaguely uneasy. Perhaps realizing Mia’s unnaturalness, Liam Jun didn’t go any further, but concentrated on photographing the various colors of tulips around him, fearing that he might miss a spot.
The atmosphere between the two, at last, slowly began to harmonize again.
When the camera reached Mia, she excitedly snapped around, finally picking it up and pointing it at Liam Jun and quickly pressing the shutter.
“What are you filming me for?” Liam Jun shielded his face from her pat, but his lips had a hidden curve to them.
