Chapter 20: I take the initiative to seduce him
Mia’s screams, screeching to a halt.
Although Liam Jun was satisfied with the effect his words had brought about, an extremely uncomfortable feeling gradually rose in his heart.
This little woman in his arms cares about Asher!
With that, Mia nestled in Liam Jun’s arms, her gorgeous eyes fixed on Asher who appeared in the hall, her heart beating incredibly hard for fear that Asher would walk out onto the balcony and see this unexplainable scene.
Asher seemed to be looking for someone, a pair of dark eyes slowly skimming over the guests present and slowly casting them in the direction of the balcony.
Mia’s body, all of a sudden, stiffened into a frenzy, her tightly clenched palms covered in sweat.
The position she and Liam Jun were in was hidden, but if Asher took just a few more steps forward, he would instantly spot them!
Asher’s dark eyes, slowly sweeping in, stopped at the balcony, and a chill seemed to ounce up under them.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Mia’s body stiffened into a straight line, and Liam Jun could even feel her restless heartbeat as an inexplicable bitterness surged together in his heart.
Just as they thought Asher was about to walk over, they noticed that Asher’s gaze instead swept elsewhere and walked back into the crowd, as if he hadn’t even seen them. Only, his back carried a chilling coldness.
Looking at Asher, who was talking and laughing in the crowd, a pain slid through Mia’s heart, like the tip of a million needles, and it hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe. To ease it, she had to bite her lip and suppress the pain in her heart.
Mia’s heart actually twitched along with her at the sight of Riina twisting her waist towards Asher and snuggling into his arms.
“I haven’t seen him for a while, but Lao’s fixation is getting better and better, he clearly saw it, but he prefers to act like he didn’t see anything.” Liam Jun’s voice sounded like a low chuckle, tinged with a bit of confusion and amusement.
He’d like to see how long Asher could remain stoic!
Hearing Liam Jun’s words, Mia’s heart surged even more full of sorrow, and the nails that grabbed his arm could not help but sink towards his arm.
It seems that she’s about as good as a tool in Asher’s mind. She’s just a pet, and naturally Asher wouldn’t object to her flirting with Liam Jun.
In that case, why should she care? The corners of Mia’s lips, suddenly curled into a slightly forlorn smile.
Liam Jun, who had expected her to flee, a cynical smile surfaced on his face as he saw her still standing quietly in front of him, “What? Falling for my embrace?”
I don’t know if it was just him, but he actually saw despondency and sadness at the bottom of Mia’s eyes, and the feeling stung him hard.
No sooner had he spoken than he saw Mia raise her eyes slightly and look straight at him, her icy gaze shooting straight into his eyes, and the smile on Liam Jun’s face was fixed in place by Mia’s cold, piercing gaze.
Just when Liam Jun expected some kind of retaliatory move from Mia, her next surprising move left him wide-eyed and even a little overwhelmed.
Because, the next moment, Mia had already printed her flap on his lips without hesitation, and a pair of small hands tightly wrapped around his waist in an unusually ambiguous position.
Time, in this moment, stands still.
The glass in Liam Jun’s hand was knocked to the floor by Mia’s light hand, and a crisp crack managed to get the attention of the crowd.
The two people who were kissing on the balcony, the man with a slender body and handsome features, his ink-black eyes looked deeply at the woman in his arms, while the woman slightly closed her eyes, her stunning face was sweet, this scene seemed to be fixed into a picture.
They, quickly, become the center of attention and it’s soon revealed that the woman who is kissing Liam Jun is the same woman Asher brought home!
The man standing beside them, with a cold face and eyes so cold that it was as if he had gone to hell, was Asher.
What the hell is this situation?
Asher saw the scene of the two of them embracing, the corners of his icy mouth slightly hooked up, and his eyes also burst out with an icy light, the temperature around him suddenly dropped several degrees, making people shudder. Even Lina, who had always been arrogant, had the sense not to speak up.
And, the scene before her no longer even required her to add anything to it; she could even imagine that it wouldn’t take long, without her bothering, for Mia to be thrown out.
The corner of Riina’s mouth was covered in a satisfied smile.
Asher’s deep eyes flickered with a few clusters of fire at the sight of the two bodies pressed together, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, his long fingers tightening around the glass in his hand.
The icy eyes, the biting breath, the crowd that didn’t dare to breathe, everything foreshadowed the storm to come.
“Liam Jun, what are you doing!” The majestic, old voice finally broke the suffocating dullness and oppression, and the crowd turned their heads to look at the furious Grandpa Jun.
All of them, sweating for Mia and Liam Jun on the balcony.
“Grandpa, don’t be angry, it’s not Liam’s fault, I saw it with my own eyes, it was this woman who took the initiative to seduce Liam!” Just as the crowd was holding their breath, Leena suddenly interjected, gloating as she looked across at Mia.
She’s going to do it her way and make Mia disappear for good!
As soon as Liam Jun saw the old man’s dark face, the cynical air in his body quickly faded away, “Grandpa, it’s not her fault, it’s …”
“Miss Lai is right, I was the one who took the initiative to seduce Liam Jun.” Before Liam Jun could finish his words, Mia interjected unhurriedly.
The crowd is in an uproar!
Asher’s gaze, grimly, was cast on Mia’s body, a dark tide raging under his eyes. The Jun Haotian couple, on the other hand, looked at Mia worriedly, and then at their two sons.
“Asher, I told you a long time ago that you should never get involved with poor women from unknown sources like this, she actually seduced Liam in front of you, this is unseemly, get her out of here now!” Grandpa Jun’s beard twitched in anger.
Liam Jun stepped in front of Mia’s face and replaced it with a full smile, “Grandpa, she’s messing with you, she must have taken me for an older brother. You can’t tell the two of us apart sometimes, let alone her, so don’t be mad, she really didn’t mean it.”
Seeing Liam Jun pleading for Mia, Asher’s face turned even uglier, and the smile under Li Na’s eyes gradually faded away as she pouted, “Liam, you can’t be fooled by her appearance, you know I’m Asher’s girlfriend, and she still insists on not letting go, don’t you understand her intentions?”
“Miss Lai is right, I was looking at the Jun family’s property, that’s why I shamelessly followed Asher here, you guys are satisfied, right?” Mia smiled lightly, but a trace of desolation flooded the bottom of her eyes.
Or maybe she’ll be relieved if Grandpa Jun believes her!
“Have you said enough. ” An icy voice suddenly interrupted her, and at some point Asher had come up behind her, watching her coldly.
Under Asher’s icy glare, Mia meekly shut her mouth.
Asher ignored Grandpa Jun’s appalling stare and swept his cold eyes to the crowd, “We’ll go back first.”
With that, he took Mia’s wrist and tried to walk out of the meeting.
“Asher, you’re just going to leave like that? Are you still not taking me seriously?” A non-angry, aged voice came from behind Asher, and Grandpa Jun’s face turned blue with anger at Asher’s disregard.
Asher and Mia paused in their steps, but did not turn around. asher tilted his head slightly sideways, a hint of disdain escaping from the corner of his eyes, and said faintly, “This is my business, not yours to worry about.”
The disdain under Asher’s eyes puzzled Mia, but it was too late to think about it before he dragged her out of the hall, only to hear Grandpa Jun’s annoyed cough from behind her.
After walking out of the hall, Asher coldly shrugged off Mia’s hand and strutted towards the parked car.
Mia, who was following him, dared not pursue the question, but could only increase her pace and follow him to the car.
The limited edition Maserati was driving fast down the highway, and Mia, sitting on the passenger side, was fiddling with her fingers without saying a word, stealing a glance at the man who was driving out of the corner of her eye.
Asher had been ironclad ever since he’d gotten into the car, his cold side face tensed into a lurid straight line, his body radiating a ghostly coldness.
Mia had the good sense to keep her mouth shut and not make a sound.
The atmosphere inside the car was unusually eerie and dull.
Just looking at his unkind face, Mia mentally cringed; it looked like there was going to be another storm tonight.
The car slowly pulled into the villa, Asher braked hard, Mia was momentarily unprepared because of inertia, her whole body slammed into the front, sharp pain spread from her forehead, the pain made Mia’s face pale for a moment, her hands and feet cold.
Asher didn’t even seem to notice her abnormality, getting out of the car coldly, flinging the door shut hard and striding towards the villa.
A wave of anguish rose in her heart, and Mia sat frozen in the passenger seat, gradually feeling the pain spreading up from her heart sweep her away.
Not knowing how long she had been sitting there, Mia finally got out of the car, and just as she took a step, she fell violently to the ground. Looking at the thirteen centimeter high heels under her feet, a bitter smile spread across her small face. In order to cater to Asher, she who was used to wearing flat shoes had actually changed into such high heels.
Could it be that her heart had slowly tended to cater to him?
Wasn’t the deliberate intimacy with Liam Jun an attempt to get rid of his influence on her? But, in return, it was always her pain.
Mia struggled to stand up, a sharp pain spreading up from the bottom of her feet, and she had to grit her teeth and limp her way inside. The housekeeper stood in the doorway, looking at her with a worried face, but didn’t dare to assist.
In this villa, Asher was the true king and no one was allowed to disobey him. Seeing Mia finally walk to the door, he whispered, “Miss Luo, Master Jun wants you to go to the second floor room!”
