Married to his secret crush

"Girl, you can leave. Since you bumped into me, I'm keeping your pet as compensation," said the bearded man who was supposedly their boss.

Although she heard it, she did not pay attention to him.

'Mia…Mia…are you fine…?' She tried to communicate with the fox in her mind without moving an inch from her spot.

Not what is going on will make you helpless. And that's how she felt right now. She knew the fox was in pain, but she did not its cause nor could she think of any way to help her.

'I don't need your sympathy. I'll kill you the moment I recover. So, run away and save your life. I can..ugh…manage myself.' As arrogant as her voice was, Mia sounded weak.

Yu Mei furrowed her brows as she looked at the men surrounding the fox. While she was thinking of a way to get out of this situation. The tip of a sharp knife was pressed on the back of her neck.

"Since you are reluctant to leave, we can take you with us…." While the man had his knife on her neck, their boss walked towards her and removed the scarf and shades that were covering her face, "You are fat but this face is not ugly. Selling you off will not be a bad idea. But since you can afford a fox, you must be from a rich family. That will also get us some money."

Her lips twitched. These hooligans are very money-minded.

"What do you say, girl?" The man looked at her with a greedy expression on his face.

She cleared her throat, "You have good prospects in business." She said, without moving too much as the tip of the knife was still pressed on the back of her neck.

"What?" The goons were stunned.

"You see…you found multiple ways of making money within five minutes. You can have a bright future in the business field," She blinked, "How about you let me go first? I'll give you a position in the financial department of my company. You will earn a lot."

''Who wants to earn by working? That's not our style. And do you think we would believe that a young girl like you owns a company?" The man snorted before looking at the fox, "Grab the animal," He ordered his people.

'Swish'

With one swift movement, Yu Mei twisted the upper half of her body and grabbed the knife that was pointed at the back of her neck.

Before their boss could turn his head around to glance at her, he was caught off guard when she grabbed his shoulder pressed the knife on his neck with force.

''AHHHH!''

Since you didn't take my offer, don't blame me for being ruthless then,'' She coldly said pressing the knife harder.

"W-What do you want?" The boss shivered as blood oozed out of his neck.

Yu Mei looked at the guys working under him, "Go….Stand at the end of the road.''

"Go!" The man ordered his boys when she pressed the knife on his delicate skin. They immediately ran away towards the end of the road, "W-What now?"

She wordlessly dragged him towards where Mia was lying on the road. "Squat," she coldly said and the man squatted down along with her.

While her right hand was holding the knife on his neck, she extended another hand towards the little fox, 'Hop on…' She said to it in her mind.

"Don't move," She pressed the knife on his neck when he tried to struggle.

Mia tilted her head and look at the woman with limpid eyes. But under the woman's stern, she eventually crawled towards her hand.

Yu Mei carefully wrapped her around the fox. "Stand up…" She said to the man.

She walked backward until they reached her car which was parked on the highway.

"AHHH!''

She hit the man's head with the back of the knife and kicked him to the ground.

''Boss!!"

"Stop her…"

Sounds were coming from behind but she ran away from there without looking back even once. Holding the fox in her embrace, she got inside her car and stepped on the accelerator, driving straight ahead.

After coming to a distance, she lowered the glass panes and looked back. There was no one after them.

She was capable of fighting with them given they were five to six people, but this body restricted her movements in many ways and they could harm Mia if anything goes wrong. So, she could only resort to such tricks.

Luckily, those people were local thugs and they didn't have a gun with them or else her life part 2 would have been over by now.

She glanced at the silver fox on her lap which had its body curled up because of pain.

"Are you fine?" She gently asked stroking its back.

Mia blinked her round hazel eyes, "Y-You….Why didn't you go back when I asked you to? A-Are you not afraid of being killed by me?"

Yu Mei looked at it for a few seconds. Her concerned gaze turning serious, "I'll give you one chance to kill me."

"W-What?" The fox was astonished. Did this woman know what she was talking about?

"Did I stutter?" Yu Mei glanced at it coldly.

"You...You…You….."

"I know, Mia. If you hadn't been there, I would not have gotten this second life. I know all of this is somehow related to you. For some reason, you aren't able to kill me. But, today, I am giving you the chance. I'll do whatever it takes for you to kill me," She paused and narrowed her eyes, "But if you let me go today, don't eye my life in the future."

Mia blankly stared at the woman as she spoke. This was the exact reason why she thought that Yu Mei possssed a very complicated mind. Nobody would be ready to embrace death so eagerly. The woman was dangerous and destructive.

But her Master….should be like that.

Mia's eyes lit up, "You saved me today. So, you don't owe me anything now."

"What if you regret it?"
