Married to his secret crush

Han Jian Yu still seemed to be in a daze but his eyes regained some clarity when he heard Yu Mei's worried voice. 

He slowly looked up at her before wiping her tears with the back of his hand, ''S-Since when did you become such a crybaby?" His voice was hoarse. 

Jun Zixuan on the other hand frowned as he glanced at Han Sheng who was now pointing the gun at the back of Han Jian Yu's head. 

He was about to move when he saw a white flash from the corner of his eyes and all one could see was a flash while a figure struck at Han Sheng's neck and he appeared like a shadow as both the fox and the human disappeared from the terrace. 

Jun Zixuan's gaze followed the direction in which they went and he lifted his hand slightly.

In the next moment, one of the choppers in the air landed beside the huge swimming pool. 

Jun Zixuan walked towards Han Jian Yu and Yu Mei before squatting beside them, ''Let's send him to the hospital first before I go to Mi...'' He paused for a moment, realizing that Han Jian Yu was not aware of Mia's identity, ''Before I go to check on the situation first.'' 

Yu Mei glanced at him before she stroked Han Jian Yu's shoulder carefully, making sure to not touch any of his wounds, ''Brother, you need to leave this place.'' 

''Not you, both of you,'' Jun Zixuan frowned, ''I said I will check on the situation.'' 

''I don't know. I am not leaving you alone here,'' Yu Mei shook her head. She felt like her emotions were so unstable today. No matter how much she tried to calm herself, she was feeling panicky but whatever it was, she did not feel comfortable with the idea of leaving him alone here and not to mention that Mia did not seem like herself today. 

''I am not asking you for your opinion, I was telling you that you are taking him with you and you both will go to the hospital,'' Jun Zixuan nonchalantly said. 

''Then don't tell me. In any case, let's just die together if anything goes wrong. I am not leaving you alone,'' Yu Mei glared at him. 

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes, ''Who wants to die together with you?" 

''You...'' Yu Mei was speechless, ''What do you mean that you don't want to die with me? Am I not a good company to die with? You have someone else on your mind?" She forgot crying as she noticed the unconvinced look on his face. 

''No...'' 

''Shut up, you both. What are you, 5?" It took a moment for Han Jian Yu to regain his composure as he pushed himself to his feet. He staggered a bit and both Yu Mei and Jun Zixuan quickly stood up to support him, ''Continue your lovers' quarrel at home. Nobody is going back right now,'' His voice was back to normal as it seemed like he was calm after everything that transpired in the place. 

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes, ''You want to die so early?" He paused for a moment before adding, ''If you die right now, no one will bother to send you flowers with that face of yours.'' 

Han Jian Yu glared at him for a moment before he stepped back from them, ''I am fine. You both don't need to hold me like this. Let's go...'' 

''Where?'' Yu Mei glanced at him. 

Han Jian Yu looked in the direction of the forest quietly for a few seconds before he said, ''Let's go...''

Yu Mei glanced at Jun Zixuan.

And he slowly shook his head understanding what she meant to ask. Even he did not know how Han Jian Yu was not shocked by everything that happened. The way Mia transformed to her real form, it would startle anyone.

Contrary to their thoughts, Han Jian Yu was shocked too just like everyone else but he did not show it on his face. Everything that happened today was somewhat numbing his heart.

Be it the fear of losing his sister again, or be it the pain of watching her being choked and slapped and being unable to do anything, be it the reminder of how he has always been hated by the person who is his biological father, be it re-living those terrible childhood memories or be it... the strange incident where the baby fox who once lived with him turned into a huge feral right in front of his eyes. 

The howl of the fox reverberated in the stretch of the dark forest followed by a man's blood-curdling screams. 

The sinister aura in the place got denser and denser as Mia's eyes turned redder than before, the birthmark on her forehead started shining and Han Sheng crawled away from her, very slowly and carefully.

His palms grazed on the dried leaves and as they crushed, he could hear the sound of his rapid heartbeats ringing in his ears.

''W-What do you want?" His voice was hoarse and his back hit the tree. The fear in his eyes kept growing as he saw the beast up so close to himself.

He shivered when the fox stepped towards him, slowly and elegantly as if all the chaos were unrelated to her. 

Mia stopped right in front of him as she glanced at the human in disdain. Her sleep was way too peaceful for him to interrupt it.

She cultivated her powers, cultivated till her body ended up snapping at her, unable to handle the outburst and she fainted in the forest, going into a state of deep slumber. 

She saw....her kingdom, the castle she once lived in, her mother was sipping her favourite tea in the royal gardens, her father was handling those troublesome ministers while she was sitting on his lap, playing with the crown on his head.. In her dreams, she was living the life which left her behind in the trail of time.
