Married to his secret crush

''He lost an arm and the bloodloss would have killed him but Zixuan sent him to the hospital and got him treated…'' 

Mia's expressions turned weirder. Jun Zixuan actually did that after everything? 

''...To torture him properly for everything he did,'' And the level of torture was enough to drive him to insanity and it was his first time witnessing such a ruthless side of Jun Zixuan. But it was not that surprising given that at that point he almost lost his baby, Yu Mei was hospitalised, Mia's life was hanging by a thread of weak heartbeats and all the time, he was numb so it was Jun Zixuan who took everything to his hands. 

Moreover, it would have been too easy if they let Han Sheng off the hook so easily. He deserved a punishment worse than death.

''Old Madam Han… she felt guilty for her past deeds and more so about hiding Han Sheng's identity from everyone and even from him. She went abroad with Han Liyun and while Old Master Han is bitter about it, he did not blame his wife but he did not stop her either.'' 

No matter how much you love them, some things in life are meant to be set free. The more you will hold onto them, the more you will hurt yourself. 

And that was the same thing that happened with Old Master Han and Old Madam Han. No matter how much they grew to love each other, the foundation of their relationship was established on a lie and Old Madam Han's past mistakes were irreversible. Staying together meant letting those thorns prick them over and over again so they let go of each other. 

Mia nodded quietly, ''Will you let go of me too?"

Han Jian Yu glanced at her questioningly. 

''If I did something in future. You know I mess up everything when I am around you…'' Usually, she knows how to deal with things but whenever she is around him, she would make mistakes and  often find herself dealing with evrything childishly which is so unlike her usual self. 

He stroked her back gently, running his fingers on her skin, ''No,'' his answer was firm. 

''No?" 

''I don't think I can let go of you. We will make it work out no matter what happens but there is no letting go. Got it?" He was serious about it. All the 'letting each other go' had given him PTSD at this point. 

She smiled, ''I was just kidding. There is no way I will let things go too far.'' 

He glared at her, ''I am still holding a grudge though.''

''Mm?" 

''For trying to run away from me.'' 

''But I already apologized for it,'' the corner of her lips twitched. 

''And you are going to make up for it too,'' he flipped their positions, pinning her under him. 

Mia licked her lips sensing the impending doom hovering in air. 

The next morning.

''Oh my god… Oh my god…'' Yu Mei excitedly pinched Jun Zixuan's cheeks as they stood in front of the door, ''I still can't believe this.'' 

''Here you go. No reason left for you to not believe it,'' Jun Zixuan said when the door opened and they were greeted by the sight of Mia standing on the other side. 

Mia smiled as she looked at both of them and Yu Mei's eyes welled up with tears. 

''Such a crybaby,'' Mia hugged her. 

Yu Mei laughed through the tears in her eyes, ''Must be the pregnancy hormones,'' she winked at Han Jian Yu who was descending the stairs. 

Han Jian Yu shook his head helplessly. 

Mia hugged Jun Zixuan. 

''It's so good to have you back,'' Jun Zixuan stroked her back. 

She smiled, ''Not that I enjoyed lying like a vegetable.'' 

While Han Jian Yu and Jun Zixuan were in the living room, Mia and Yu Mei walked towards the sea beach behind the glass house, ''When I saw brother's text early in the morning, I was so shocked…'' Yu Mei stopped walking as she turned around to look at Mia who was a few steps behind, ''You are so weak after becoming a human. I never thought there will be a day when I will see you limping.'' 

Mia pursed her lips, ''It's not because I became a human…'' she paused before speaking through gritted teeth, ''It's because your brother is not a human,'' beast! She scoffed in her heart. 

He took a good revenge for all her past mistakes and misunderstandings. 

Yu Mei burst into laughter. She placed a hand on her stomach and threw her head back before laughing harder. 

Mia's eyes glimmered, ''Mei… how long before I can see the baby? I want to hold it.'' 

Yu Mei paused and she looked at the woman's excited expressions. She blinked twice and before she realized, she ended up laughing again. 

Mia's lips twitched, ''What's so funny?" 

Yu Mei wiped the tear from the corner of her eyes, ''Which woman can give birth to a baby in 3 months?"

Mia's lips thinned, ''Okay, I will wait patiently,'' she shook her head. It was such a pity that there was a long time left. 

''Or you can make babies in the meantime,'' Yu Mei shrugged. 

Mia rolled her eyes,''Is Zixuan's mom doing good now?" 

Yu Mei nodded, ''Mom and Dad are in the States right now and she is still recuperating.'' 

''They are together?" Mia was stunned.

''Of course. I always knew that my mother-in-law still had a soft corner for him and it started showing up during the period he took care of her. Although there is no explicit confession, but she is quietly letting him stay beside her. Isn't that enough of a green sign?" 

Mia nodded, ''And Zixuan didn't oppose?" 

''He did but I reminded him that his mom is an adult and she can take her decisions,'' They had a small argument on this before he eventually gave in to her on this but he still assigned his guards beside his mother just in case something happened or if somehow Jun Zishen triggered her. 

And Yu Mei found it appropriate. 

Mia nodded again, ''Seems like I have missed out on a lot. What about Li Shuang and Shi Luo?" She remembered that she showed Shi Luo her real self in hospital that day. 

''Li Shuang is busy handling the company. The position of CEO came out of nowhere and she is still adjusting to it and Shi Luo…'' Yu Mei paused as she looked at her phone, ''Let us surprise her, shall we?" A sly glint flitted in her eyes and Mia was quick to catch onto that. 

Mia smirked, ''Why not?''
