Her face crumpled knowing that her efforts were in vain. If it goes on like this, the tissues in her throat will get inflamed but the man just won't pay attention to her.

Her shoulders slumped as she walked towards the room.

The man glanced at her retreating back and pursed his lips.

Closing the door behind her, she slumped on the bed. Since she had already freshened up and was wearing her night suit right now, she decided to sleep.

Everything else can be left on tomorrow.

She took a deep breath before closing her eyes.

1 second.

Twist.

2 seconds.

Turn.

3 seconds.

Twist.

"Ah..Why can't I sleep?" She sat up on the bed before tugging her hair with both her hands.

A burst of disdainful laughter rang from behind her.

Mia scoffed, "Because you slept in the afternoon. Don't act like you're in love," came her sarcastic voice that had her lips twitch.

She turned to find the silver fox gracefully sitting on the maroon silk pillow cover.

She did take a nap in the spa during the massage session but when did she act like she was in love?

Since the 48 hours were over and she was not allowed to read her thoughts anymore, Mia carefully glanced at the woman's expression trying to understand her better.

The more she understood this woman, the easier it would be for her to get rid of her in the future. As reluctant as she was to harm this woman, but things can't go on like this.

She would not be enslaved by this lowly human being for twenty more years again. Mia thought to herself.

But she could read nothing looking at the woman's blank face. 'This woman is the bane of my life. Sooner or later, I'll deal with you,' She cursed her in her heart for the umpteenth time before disappearing into thin air.

Yu Mei hurriedly checked the surroundings making sure that the fox was gone. She rubbed her arms soothing out the goosebumps she got under Mia's deadly stares.

'Growl'

She rubbed her empty stomach, puckering her lips slightly. After having dinner, she had yet to eat anything.

Her gaze flashed. Steward Gu said that Jun Zixuan was searching for all over the city. And after they came back to the penthouse, he just took a shower and changed his clothes before going back to work.

'Has he eaten anything?' She furrowed her brows and got out of the bed.

''Why do I feel like I'm babysitting a moody big baby...?" She muttered to herself before pulling open the door.

And as expected, the man was still sitting on the couch with the laptop on his lap. Why did his mother even search for a bride for him? She should just have married him off with his laptop.

"Hey," She poked his shoulder, trying to get his attention.

The man glanced at her disinterestedly before looking back at his laptop.

The corner of her lips twitched. She walked to him in the middle of the night to ask him if he has eaten anything or if he was hungry, but why did he have to give her that damn attitude?

Don't eat. Just starve yourself. I'm not gonna care anyway.

''Humph,'' She arrogantly lifted her chin before walking inside the kitchen.

Opening the refrigerator, she grabbed a piece of pastry. Her doctor has asked her to avoid junk food so but pastry couldn't be counted as junk food right?

Just as she was about to take a bite, her gaze landed on the man. She shook her head. No, I shouldn't pity him. Whether he has eaten or not doesn't matter.

Just as she took the spoon near her mouth, a little white angel hovered above her head 'He searched for you the whole day. Not to mention that he cooks for you every day no matter how busy he is. You're so cruel to eat without asking him.'

Yu Mei paused. She did go to ask him if he has eaten, didn't she? But he treated her coldly.

'He must be tired after looking for you everywhere. Humph!' The angel disappeared.

She put the pastry aside before looking around for the pan. Whatever. She would just cook some decent food for him so that her conscience will not get pricked like this.

She grabbed the pan and turned the gas stove on just like he had taught her a few days ago. "That's easy.." She mumbled before grabbing the oil and spoon, "But what if he refused to eat..?"

She poured some oil with the help of the spoon before getting the eggs. "Whatever, I'll just stuff it into his mouth.."

Since she is the one cooking food here, the other party has to eat no matter if he likes it or not.

It was only then did she noticed she had left the spoon on the pan and it was almost going inside the oil. She hurriedly grabbed the tip of the spoon that was outside the pan but it had already heated up.

"Ahh..." The spoon fell on the floor as she held her fingers tightly, blowing air on it.

Tears formed in her eyes as her hand started burning. She thought she already learned to make an omelette but she was still a zero in the kitchen.

"Are you crazy?" Jun Zixuan grabbed the woman's hand who was holding her hand and standing at one place like a dumb person. He turned off the gas stove with his other hand.

She sniffed, "It's burning.." Dammit. Why was she always so panicky while cooking?

He dragged her towards the sink before letting the cold water run over her fingers, "Did you expect it to taste like sweets?" he glared at the woman.

She blinked before rubbing her teary eyes on his shirt.

After a few minutes, the burn in the tips of her finger gradually got a bit better..

historical

She sighed in relief. Even taking the bullets was less painful than this.

"Still angry?"
