"I am a fox," The small thing mumbled and looked at Yu Mei's face only to find a ghost of a smile resting on her face, "You…You… You tricked me….Why can't I read your thoughts?" It glared at her.

She shrugged, "If I don't think anything, you won't know anything."

The fox was stunned.

To be able to control her thought process…this girl is not gullible. It squinted its eyes, "Do you know I can kill you right this instant for playing such games with me?" A powerful aura burst forth and she gritted her teeth to endure the pain that made her feel like her bones were being shattered.

Blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth as she looked at the small creature in disdain, "I would not have been alive till this day if you could have killed me…"

The pressure in the air dissipated in an instant and she could feel the pain in her body slowly disappearing.

She wiped the blood from her mouth before speaking up, "Killing me will be harmful to you too, isn't it? How about I kill myself then?"

"You won't do that," The fox looked at her with a doubtful gaze.

"After dying once, I don't fear death anymore," she said looking straight into its eyes.

"What do you want?" Psychopath! Absolute psychopath. This human was crazy and right now, it was not good to take risks so it decided to negotiate with her.

"First, cut off your connection with my mind or whatever you are doing. I don't want my thoughts to be read by others," She coldly said.

The fox looked at her with a doubtful glare. If it didn't do that, will she really kill herself?

"You can try me," She muttered as if she could read his mind.

The fox fell speechless. Closing its eyes, it mumbled something, "It's done," It said stroking its face with its paws.

"You're ugly," Yu Mei murmured.

"What did you say?" Rage burst forth from the small creature and she could feel the pine tree behind her shaking.

"I was joking…" She smiled at it despite the pain coursing through her body.

The pressure disappeared in an instant.

I was serious, you are truly ugly, she thought to herself but this time there was no reaction from it.

She let out a sigh inwardly. Seems like her intuition was not wrong. For some reason, this fox cannot kill her and she noticed that it seemed to be very proud of its beauty.

She knew better than to trust a fox which is why she used this way to test if it has really stopped reading her mind.

The shock regarding this fox finally started sinking inside her mind.

"So, are you a male or female?"

"Female," The fox muttered.

"Do you have a name?"

"No, you can give me one if you want but it must be powerful and domineering," It grumpily walked towards her before jumping on her lap.

Seems like the fox has no sense of the name. She squinted trying hard to come up with a proper name. And finally, something clicked in her mind, "I'll call you Mia from now."

The fox blinked, "Sounds fine to me. What does it mean?"

"It's a powerful name for someone cold, dark, unapproachable, and extremely powerful," She smiled at it kindly.

The fox nodded, seemingly pleased, "What a perfect name!"

As Yu Mei looked at the proud little creature, her lips tugged up at an angle she could not see.

'Mia' means bright, friendly, and darling.

Didn't it bite her on their first meet?

Little one, here is my return gift for you.

"It's time for me to rest. See you later," Mia said.

She looked at it with a complicated gaze as it disappeared into thin air.

She let out a deep sigh before leaning back on the pine tree. Was there no other solution to it? Keeping a time bomb beside her, she was sure everything will get more difficult from now on.

Two days have passed in a flash since the couple came to Shanghai for Jun Zixuan's business trip.

Yu Mei kept the man at an arm's length ever since the last incident and luckily for her, she didn't see him much after coming here. As his mother said, he must be busy with his work.

But she found it nice that way because she didn't have to face that devil. On the other hand, China was a whole new world for her.

In the past, she used to come to Beijing once in a while to visit Shi Luo's mother so she knew about that place a little.

But coming to Shanghai was an entirely different experience.

It has been two days since they came here but she was already enjoying it to her fullest.

In the Presidential suite of Trident Resorts, Shanghai.

Yu Mei entered the suite after exploring the best sights nearby. She walked towards the King-sized bed before letting her body land on it in a free-fall motion.

Coming here was not as bad as she thought. She was feeling a lot more refreshed than before.

Moreover, Jun Zixuan was busy with his work. He would come to the room after she fell asleep and would leave before she woke up.

He slept on the couch while she slept on the bed. At least, the man had some conscience left in him.

The day when they checked into this resort, they were informed that they had to live together in this suite.

The credit belongs to the person who arranged this… her seemingly gentle mother-in-law.

After their face-off in the garden, the fox did not show up again and it gave her the time to process these weird things in her mind before her brain could malfunction.

She stood up from the bed before walking towards the mirror on the opposite wall. Although she was still fat as before, but her skin was as fair and smooth as a jade right now.

After the change in her contours, her facial features didn't change that much but her face was much more pleasing than before. She could be counted as a cute little beauty right now.

Dark sparkling eyes, ruddy pomegranate shaded lips, a small forehead, gorgeous long dark hair, and prominent facial features… As long as she lost weight, she believed she would look pretty decent.

She decided to take a shower first before getting in for a good night's sleep.

"I should lock the main door first…" She mumbled to herself.

She didn't want to be bothered by any hotel staff and Jun Zixuan had the keycard with him so it was only right for her to lock the before she went to take a shower.

...

Spoiler Alert: Some sweet stuff in the next chapter.
