BXBX NOVEL Chapter 323 - Where Are We Going?
Jun Zixuan shot her a warning glare and Han Jingyi choked on the rest of her words when she felt his murderous aura. She pursed her lips, not knowing why she was suddenly afraid of him.
But... he looked more handsome with this aloof air around him.
While it looked like Han Jingyi was praising Yu Mei for her wits, her words were indirectly implying that she was a scheming person.
Yu Mei laughed, \'\'Of course, I had to play smart, cousin...\'\' She leaned back on the chair, \'\'Imagine if I knock you out and throw you inside a forest filled with wild animals...\'\' Her tone was quite serious as she said that.
The people in the room glanced at her.
Han Liyun could not take it anymore, \'\'What do you mean by saying such things to my sister?" He snarled.
Han Jing frowned, \'\'Liyun, mind your behavior,\'\' He sternly said, with an authoritative aura around him.
Han Liyun pursed his lips.
Yu Mei smiled, back to her playful self, \'\'I was just stating an example. If Cousin had encountered such a situation, she will learn to fight back. She can\'t just stand there stagnantly, waiting to perish in the wild. Desperate time call for desperate measures...\'\'
And her words cleared the bit of doubt that Han Jingyi incited. What she meant to say was staying with Yu Family and suffering every day, she learned a few tricks to deal with the dangers around her.
Han Suyin\'s heart ached for her. This poor child had gone through a lot.
...
\'\'I was caught off guard,\'\' Yu Mei lowered the car seat as she leaned back, \'\'I never expected to meet them here.\'\'
\'\'They even invited you again...\'\' Jun Zixuan playfully said as he focused on the road instead of looking at the woman who had removed her heels as she placed her feet on his lap, \'\'Aren\'t you excited?"
\'\'What\'s there to be excited about? The elders seem good yet mysterious to me, the younger generation is messy...\'\' Yu Mei thought about the Han siblings. The brother was staring daggers at her throughout the dinner while the sister was saying poisonous words disguised in a layer of honey, \'\'As long as they don\'t come for me, let\'s put up a family fa?ade.\'\'
Jun Zixuan handled the steering wheel with one hand while he placed his other hand on her milky white feet, slowly gliding it up and down.
\'\'That\'s ticklish...\'\' She laughed a bit and his hand rested on her ankle obediently, caressing the redness caused by the straps of her heels, \'\'If I am related to Han Family or Han Suyin, then that means Yu Mei Zhen and I are also related.\'\'
Jun Zixuan remained quiet but his silence was like an affirmation.
\'\'She must have seen me and Ah Jin all over the news then why did she only approach me today in the restaurant...\'\' She thought about it, \'\'Moreover, although you made necessary preparations but from their side, it looked like a coincidence. She even addressed me formally but when I rejected her invitation for dinner, she seemed sad and in the end, she revealed her identity.\'\'
Jun Zixuan cleared his throat, \'\'Old Master Han did not have a good impression of you since the beginning because of our relationship. So, it must have something to do with it that she did not approach you before,\'\' He initially heard that Old Master Han was rather angry about their relationship but at that time, he had yet to know Yu Mei\'s real identity so he did not consider it.
\'\'In clear words, he was aggrieved that you did not place any importance on your engagement with Han Jingyi...\'\' Yu Mei understood it immediately. The old man also did not look at her nicely when they first met in the hospital even though he was not that harsh on her today.
Jun Zixuan parked the car on the side of the road, \'\'Let\'s not talk about unpleasant things.\'\'
She glanced at the place that was enshrouded in darkness. The restaurant they went to was far away from the busy city and on their way back, the road was quieter at night. There was a forest on either side of the road.
Her car was left for his bodyguards to drive back and they took his car.
\'\'Why did you stop the car here?" She glanced at him curiously as she took her feet off his lap.
He alighted the car before walking to the other side. He opened the door and stretched his hand towards her.
\'\'One second...\'\' She grabbed her heels and placed them in front of her feet, \'\'Let me wear them first...\'\'
\'\'There is no need,\'\' And as soon as the words escaped his mouth, he pulled her into his arms before holding her in a Princess carry.
She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, \'\'Where are we going?" She asked as he stepped inside the expansion behind the road.
\'\'To save the world?" He asked seriously.
She glared at him before punching his chest. She paused in her movements as he stepped deeper inside the forest and walked behind the bushes, \'\'Zixuan, you are not planning to kill and bury me here, are you?" She gulped looking at the dense trees.
His brows scrunched, \'\'What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yu Mei laughed awkwardly, \'\'I am rather afraid of forests after the assassination. This place reminds me of the place where I encountered death...\'\' She laughed once again, looking at his darkening face.
\'\'What a coward!" His voice softened despite the insult that he threw at her.
Yu Mei chuckled. She could have dealt with them back then if they were limited to 10 or 20 but there were hundreds of them and she was outnumbered. She tried till her last breath but it just happened.
She smartly did not bring all that up knowing that it will make him upset even if he won\'t show it on his face.
\'\'But I am curious...Where exactly are you taking me?"
\'\'Treasure hunt.\'\'
"_" Don\'t tell me if you don\'t want to!
