Married to his secret crush

"Boss, foxes naturally are intelligent creatures. But if you don't like little white, you can give her to me,'' Danny found that little creature way too cute, and who knows when their heartless boss would roast her out of anger.

Han Jian Yu glanced at him, his eyes narrowed, ''Have you found that model named Mia?''

''Ah, Boss, she has not been coming to shoot for a few days and even her house is empty. Shall I get you her picture?"

"No, just find that woman. You are not able to find a woman for ages but you have some leisure to talk about 'MY' fox,'' Han Jian Yu spoke expressionlessly, playing with a paperweight in his hand. 

''But boss you said that you don't like...Ahh...'' Danny glared at his brother who pinched his butt once again. 

'Shut the fuck up,' Sunny mouthed. Couldn't this dumb man notice their Boss's 'My fox is only my fox even if it is trouble' attitude?

When both the brothers left, Han Jian Yu checked the time before walking out of the study. He wondered what she was doing as he had made her face the wall in the living room in the evening. 

He frowned when he did not find her in the living room.

He stepped inside her room but his frown got deeper, not finding her there as well. He glanced at the untouched plate of food on her bed. 

As the doors and windows of the place were properly closed, she couldn't escape. 

He stormed into his study room and picked up his iPad before signing in to the CCTV surveillance of the living room.

She was still sitting there, playing around. He fast-forwarded it. 

When she suddenly ran in a direction, he slowed it down. Wasn't it the direction of the hallway that led it to study?

But when he came here, she was nowhere in sight. 

''Dammit,'' He banged his fist on the desk. There was no camera in this section.

...

'Mia...Mia...Are you listening to me? We have to discuss something,' Yu Mei closed her eyes and tried to focus on their connection. 

She had forgotten Mia's instructions on how they could talk in mind but she hoped it should be like this. 

''What is it, sweety? Why did you summon me?'' 

Yu Mei's eyes snapped open as she glanced at the little white fox sitting on Jun Zixuan's shoulder. 

''W-What is this?" Jun Zixuan almost dropped the coffee mug at the sudden weight on his shoulder. His eyes narrowed in disbelief as he grabbed the fox by its tail and glanced at Yu Mei with a 'What the fuck is this and where did it come from?' expression on his face. 

"How can you see me?'' 

"How can you see her?" 

Mia swiftly jumped to the floor. 

"I am not blind,'' Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow only to squint a moment later, "Did it just talk?!''

A few minutes later in the living room.

"You mean to say that she is that little girl?" Jun Zixuan glanced at Yu Mei. 

''Well...Mia...'' 

Mia jumped off the couch before transforming to her real form, "Hey there," She waved at Jun Zixuan before taking a seat beside Yu Mei. 

Jun Zixuan's frown went deeper as he glanced at her long striking silver-colored hair, it was the same as he remembered the child had. And the fox that suddenly transformed into a woman...

"Go on," Mia nodded at Yu Mei, permitting her to tell him about it. Initially, she did not trust any human other than Yu Mei. But over time, staying inside her body, she got to know Jun Zixuan as well. She trusted this man as much as she trusted Yu Mei.

Yu Mei inhaled a deep breath before delving into the details about her relationship with Mia and their blood contract. She told him about Mia's history too about how in one of her previous lives, the ancestors of the Han Family had cursed the immortal nine-tailed fox leading to her ultimate demise while her baby, Mia was was cursed to stay in the Han Family for eternity under a spell which broke when Yu Mei contracted Mia. She also informed him that she had absorbed one of Mia's nine lives which is why she was still living. 

''...At that time, her powers were sealed which is why she had that appearance. She is 26 years old,'' Mia was 263 years old based on her fox age but their 10 years were equal to 1 human year so on that basis, she is 26, "...And this is her last life after I absorbed one of her lives,'' No matter what, she felt guilty about it.

Mia's 6 lives were spent in a cage under that spell and her 7th life was all wasted while being contracted to her as she stayed inside her body all the time, then she absorbed the powers from her 8th tail while dying, snatching her 8th life. 

And now, she had only one life left with her. 

But at least, that should be equal to thousands of fox years which meant Mia will live for hundreds of human years. Yu Mei consoled herself with that.

She leaned back on the couch, letting out an exhausted sigh as she glanced at Jun Zixuan's blank face, ''Where is your shock, man?!" She sprang up. 

He raised an eyebrow. 

''Don't give me that look," She speechlessly glanced at him, "Even I was shocked when she appeared in front of me out of thin air for the first time, why are you not shocked at all? What's with that nonchalant look?" She only witnessed a bit of shock on his face when she told him that she was Han Mei and after that, no matter what she told him, his expressions were like 'Oh?.... Is it?... Well...Okay... Mmm..' 

"What do you want me to do then?" 

"At least, pretend a little. Like you are shocked silly by my revelations-''

''Oh, he is not as childish as you,'' Mia interrupted nonchalantly as she played with her long silver hair. She glanced at Yu Mei, ''Mmm, you look beautiful today," She winked.

Mia had to admit that during her first life, if Yu Mei was there, then she would have been hailed as a rare beauty after her mother. "You both had some plans today?"
