Han Jian Yu walked out of the study room with his phone pressed in between his ear and shoulder while he flipped through the pages of the file in his hand, "You mean to say there have been movements from her side?"

"Yes, Boss. She went to finish her shoot today but I was one step late and now she seems to have disappeared into thin air again..."

"Keep looking for her..." His footsteps came to a halt when he walked past the glass wall.

Han Jian Yu hung up the call as he glanced out of the glass. There seemed to be someone near the sea. He could see a shadow.

His eyes sharpened for a moment. Nobody was aware of his current location then...

His thoughts came to a halt when the person moved before from the blind spot and sunlight shone on her, highlighting her beautiful silver hair.

"It's her...?" He did not realize that for someone who did not care about other's business, his tone was pretty probing.

Before he could think about it, his feet were already making their way towards the door on their own.

He paused for a moment and grabbed his suit jacket from the couch before walking out.

While Mia was sitting on the seashore, feeling the cold wind slapping her face, she suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulders followed by a disdainful voice, "Even if you want to freeze to death, it's unethical for you to do that here. It might affect my reputation considering that we had an argument in the morning over the curtains matter..." Han Jian Yu started off all logical and that lasted until she turned around to look at him.

Her beautiful hazel eyes were sparkling with unshed tears as her face remained blank, free of her usual playful expressions.

For some reason, it made him uncomfortable, "Did something happen?" Even though he held doubts initially, but it was apparent that Jun Zixuan really cared for this 'adopted sister' of his. So, she should not be in any kind of problem as long as she is that man's sister.

She, on the other hand, was the kind to bully others. She was fierce and bold. For someone who was not afraid of him, it was impossible for her to be bullied.

So, what's wrong?

He missed the concern in his eyes that didn't get past Mia's clear gaze.

He sat beside her as he looked at the waves crashing at the shore, "If you have something on your mind, you can tell me," His tone was rather awkward.

Mia blinked, the sadness in her eyes disappeared in a blink as if it was one's illusion, "Is Mr. Han lending me his shoulder to cry on?" Her voice was hoarse.

"I don't mind-" Han Jian Yu paused, realizing the teasing intent in her tone. He turned to look at her.

As expected, she laughed, "I am honored then."

He cleared his throat and averted his gaze realizing what he just did.

"Han Jian Yu..."

He glanced at her for this marked the first time she called him by his name, "Yes?"

"Do you sometimes want to go to the past where things were all right? To the people who loved you?" She glanced at him seriously.

A light flashed across his eyes and his expressions shifted. For some reason, it looked like she could see through him.

Noticing his darkening expressions, Mia changed her serious tone to a playful, "It's just a hypothesis. Do you ever feel that way?"

He averted his gaze, "I don't. Past is past. I have no intention or interest in dwelling on things that are now an illusion and only exist in my mind," He said casually, as if he was just putting himself in her hypothesis, "Present is much more important," He said expressionlessly.

Mia glanced at him quietly. His words calmed her uncomfortable heart. Her parents must have found their way together in heaven.

But was Han Jian Yu really that unaffected about the past?

For someone who knew a lot about the siblings, she was aware of more facts about them that even they were unaware of.

Of course, it was not her place to meddle.

The Master-Servant contract between her and Yu Mei had countless flaws and she had already messed it up when she got emotionally attached to Yu Mei.

Now, at this point, if she meddled with their course of life, their decisions, secrets, or past then she did not know where it would lead to.

That's why she kept her mouth shut about their family in front of Yu Mei since the first day.

Even though she was the firstborn of a legendary nine-tailed fox, she had her limitations, unlike her mother who was almost invincible.

Mia knew one thing... The more she got herself attached to them, the more it will lead to her...

"What are you thinking about?"

She glanced at him, "I was thinking about when you will hang the curtains."

The corner of his lips twitched, "I don't think you mind looking at me at regular intervals."

Mia raised an eyebrow.

"These were your words," He explained himself, "Y-You said that I was good to look at."

Damn.

What am I talking about?

And what's with this stammer?

Mia's lips curved up in her typical vixen smile and the suit jacket slid down her body as she knelt beside him in her satin black robe, "Is Mr. Han shy around me?" Her words came as a whisper beside his ears.

And blood rushed to a certain part of his.

He must be crazy!

"Or he just wants an excuse to look at me?" She placed her hand on his shoulder as she leaned down, her nail drew circles on his neck. Her long hair caressed his face as a soft breeze passed by, "Mm? What is it?" Her hot breath stroked his earlobe.

He turned his face to the side as he looked at her face. His hands itched to move, towards places that were pretty much forbidden.

Her gaze was harmless but she must have been a born seductress as he was completely seduced.

He must be walking down the path of celibacy for too long.
