''I don't mind what you are, who you are or what place you are from. I will say it this one time that I am keeping you here. I am keeping you to myself, will you let me?''

Her heart skipped a beat.

Mia opened her mouth to say something but no words came out of it and she pursed her lips.

Han Jian Yu cupped the side of her face as he let his thumb run on her cheek, ''Take your time thinking. I will give you all the time in the world so that you can decide whether you want to stay with me or not.''

''What if my answer is a no?" Mia asked, finding her lost voice.

''This forest looks decent,'' Han Jian Yu looked around before he glanced at her, ''We are staying here in this position till you make it a yes,'' With that said, he tightened his grip on her waist before he pulled her closer.

"Will you force me if it's a no?" She asked.

He nodded quietly.

''I have powers,'' Mia shrugged.

''Can you bear to use them on me?" he blinked, ''Did I not warm your bed properly?" he blinked again.

Her jaws dropped as she found him looking at her with those puppy eyes and on top of that, those shameless words left her speechless.

Han Jian Yu chuckled looking at her expressions and he placed his forehead against hers, ''I missed you,'' His grip on her unconsciously kept tightening and Mia held back from wincing because her internal wounds were yet to heal.

''All this while, you have been there on my mind and I missed you so much,'' He whispered as the tips of their nose touched.

''Good to know that,'' Mia looked into his eyes, ''I missed you too.''

''You did?'' As she nodded, he rolled his eyes, ''I don't buy it.''

Mia punched his chest lightly, ''Why not?"

''Why did you not come back to me if you really missed me?"

''Because… I didn't know. Like… with what reason was I supposed to go back to you? So awkward,'' She cleared her throat.

''Are you blushing, love?" He teased.

She glared at him. ''Who is blushing?''

Han Jian Yu chuckled.

''You really don't care?" Mia stepped back from him and his grip loosened on her waist, ''You witnessed everything and you know how I am. It doesn't affect you?"

''I won't say I was not fazed. It did affect me as I had never once expected for something like this to happen,'' He frowned, ''Though I had this doubt that it was you when we were in that terrace, but I was not sure. When I came after you, I did not know what I was expecting. In the end, when I called your name, I did not know what I was expecting at that time either… I don't know if I was making any sense right now,'' He laughed at himself for jumbling over his words.

Being a President, handling a country, the last thing he expected to mess up was his speech. But in front of this woman, he could not even think straight, let alone say anything.

Mia blinked.

''I will say this loud and clear, Mia, and you better pay attention,'' he cupped her cheeks, ''I miss you the moment you are out of my sight. And I will accept you, no matter in what form you come to me.''

Mia smiled as she playfully bit the tip of his nose, ''You are so adorable at the moment, you know that, right?" She stepped back from him.

Han Jian Yu pursed his lips. He did not remember being called adorable before and it certainly sounded very weird to his ears.

''Well,'' Mia flipped her hair as she flashed a mischievous smile, ''Look at you blushing, fumbling and fidgeting while you speak every word. Very adorable indeed. Her Highness is pleased.''

Han Jian Yu opened his mouth to say something but he paused, ''When you say Her Highness, does it means that…?''

''I am royalty,'' Mia answered, understanding what he meant to ask her, ''I mean I was, centuries ago.''

''So, all this time when you referred to yourself as 'Her Highness', you really meant it?'' And here he thought, it was just a part of her playful traits. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

Mia laughed, ''I was a bit over-pampered so it has left some marks on me, I guess.''

A small smile formed on his lips, ''Good to know that,'' he paused for a moment before looking at her questioningly, ''You said centuries…''

Mia nodded before she walked towards him and held his hand, ''You are injured. I have not healed your wounds properly yet. Come, let us sit while I tell you more about myself.''

Han Jian Yu sat on the ground as he leaned back on the tree and just as Mia was about to sit next to him, he grabbed her hand and pulled her onto his lap.

She gasped, ''What are you doing?"

''Letting Her Highness sit in her favourite place,'' the corner of his lips tugged up as he played with her long hair.

''You…. You are narcissistic,'' she blinked before shifting to a more comfortable position on his lap. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣o𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

''Learnt from the best,'' came the quick reply that earned him a punch on his chest.

''Have you ever heard of the legendary nine-tailed fox?" Mia asked as she placed her cheek on his shoulder while her hand moved on the side of his shoulder, slowly healing his wounds.

''Exists in mythology…'' Han Jian Yu paused.

''Yes, my mother. She is the one,'' Mia paused for a moment before adding, ''She was, I mean.''

That was not something he expected. Han Jian Yu quietly stroked her back before kissing the top of her head.

''My father was a prince when they met for the first time and at that time, my mother was in her human form. They had mutual attraction but their time was cut short and years later, they met again but at that time, because of the circumstances, my father was already sitting on the throne, ruling the kingdom. They fell in love.''

Han Jian Yu's brows tugged together slightly.
