The CEO’s Pet Cat

No sooner had he spoken than he saw Mia arrive in the living room, a pair of cool eyes sweeping over the crowd present and finally settling on the majestic old man sitting in the center.

Grandpa’s stern eyes looked at Mia standing in front of him, “I have given you three days to think, now you can tell me your decision.”

Mia’s bemused gaze glanced at Asher, who was sitting next to her expressionless, and a mocking smile slid across her face, “Grandpa Jun, I’ll leave, that’s my answer.”

Yeah, why did this man ever care about himself, and since he never did, it’s good to leave.

“Are you sure, Miss Luo?” said Grandpa, staring coldly into her face with a hint of suspicion, “that you are so good at talking?”

Of course Mia could hear the suspicion, a bitter smile crept onto her face, a bemused look on Grandpa Jun, a sad smile floating on her face, “Grandpa Jun, in your eyes, people like us would be like locusts, biting hard and refusing to let go, right? If you want to think that, you’re wrong, I’ll leave because my pride is more important than you think it is.”

These two are truly worthy of being two grandparents and grandchildren, even the tone of their words and the way they do things are the same.

“As long as you don’t regret it.” Grandpa Jun, lest she regretted it, immediately aggravated the sentence, “If you leave, the money I promised you before will be given to you.”

Mia took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness and pain in her heart, and slowly opened her eyes, looking firmly at Grandpa Jun in front of her, “I respect you as an elder, but unfortunately you disappoint me a lot. I will leave the Jun family, but I won’t take a single penny of the money I don’t deserve.”

All eyes turned on Mia, even Grandpa Jun’s gaze twitched slightly, but quickly returned to the coldness of a moment ago.

Asher’s expression was cold as he looked at the woman standing in the middle of the living room, but the clenched fists had long given away his true emotions, the bruises leaping from his forehead indicating that he was not in a good mood at the moment, and the grey glint that surfaced at the bottom of his eyes, all indicating that he actually cared about her leaving.

When Mia was sure, Grandpa’s wrinkled face finally had a smile on it if anything, “Very well, your answer didn’t disappoint me, in that case, I won’t make things difficult for you, you can leave now.”

The butler pulled out Mia’s long-packed luggage from the side, worry in the bottom of her eyes.

Asher’s deep eyes couldn’t help but turn somber when he saw the tiny backpack in the butler’s hand.

Does this woman want to leave his side that badly?

Not expecting Mia to finally choose to leave on her own, Lily frowned at Grandpa Jun, “Dad, I do think that this little girl is quite …”

The sound of a cane hitting the ground interrupted Lily’s words as Grandpa Jun looked at Lily with a sharp, compelling stare, the serious look on his face sending shivers down his spine, “You’re taking issue with what I’m doing?”

The room fell silent at the sound of the majestic voice, and Lily, seeing Grandpa angry, snapped her mouth shut and looked to Mia with an apologetic gaze.

Mia met Lily’s gaze with a relieved smile on her face, “Auntie, I know you mean well, thank you. But I don’t need it, I’ve already made up my mind to get out of here.”

Only by leaving here could she start a whole new life.

Lily wanted to say something else, but Grandpa Jun’s warning look undoubtedly told her not to talk too much. Grandpa Jun silently lowered his head, his heart very unforgiving.

Seeing his wife like this, Jun Haotian couldn’t help but sigh and glance at the weather outside the window, “Dad, it’s raining outside and it’s the middle of the night, she’s a woman …”

Fearing that the crowd would change their minds, Riina immediately picked up her mouth and said, “Uncle, you should also consider my feelings, I’ve been aggrieved enough for some time now. Now that things have finally been understood, I …”

She didn’t finish the latter words, she just slightly lowered her head and sobbed in a small voice. Seeing her look of aggravation, Grandpa Jun hurriedly comforted, “Fine, fine, Na, let her go now, let her go now, just don’t be sad.”

Mia smiled and shook her head, smiling gently at Jun Haotian and his wife, “Uncle and aunt, you don’t have to worry, I’ve already called a taxi.”

Hearing her words, Leena immediately stopped crying and said meanly, “Mia, why do you have to look so aggravated in front of Asher if you made up your mind to leave long ago, if you want more money, I can give it to you, as long as you leave immediately!”

Lily Minoru, who had held back for a while, finally spoke in a cold voice, “You should stop adding to the mess!”

Riina shut her mouth instantly and looked at Grandpa Jun with a resigned expression, her delicate eyes filled with tears.

“Na is right, it was Asher who was wrong and that’s why she was aggravated.” Grandpa Jun glared at his daughter-in-law and hurriedly reassured Leena, turning back to pierce his sharp gaze at Mia, “You can leave now.”

Mia turned and gave Asher, who had been sitting on the couch without saying a word, a soft smile, “Thank you for the many days of care, I’m leaving.”

When he finished, he mentioned taking the backpack from the butler and walked towards the door without looking back.

Asher sat on the couch, his eyes beady as he watched the departing figure, his fingers on his knees clenched into fists, the bruises on the backs of his hands revealing his emotions.

When Mia’s figure was about to disappear in the doorway, a sudden pain slid through his heart, making him caress his chest, his deep eyes locking onto her figure, the pain his heart brought him deepening with every step she took.

Don’t …

Don’t leave …

A voice cried out in the back of his mind.

For some reason, at this point, he saw this expected scene, but he had the feeling that he didn’t want to let go, and his extremely fast beating chest gave him a feeling of suffocation for a moment.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He couldn’t let her go like that, that’s right, he couldn’t let her go like that, this woman was his, even if he was engaged and married, this woman was still his!

“Stand still!”

“Stand still!”

Two voices rang out at the same time.

The living room door was pushed open abruptly and it was Liam Jun, which made everyone react a bit.

Liam Jun stood panting in the living room doorway, drenched with rain. The rain kept dripping down his clothes, and before long, there was already a puddle of water at his feet. His dark eyes, slowly sweeping over the crowd, finally settled on Mia’s body.

Mia looked at Liam Jun who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise and froze asking, “Jun … Liam Jun?! How did you appear here?”

The crowd also had a puzzled look on their faces, not understanding why Liam Jun had suddenly appeared here. Only Asher had a cold face and looked coldly at the sudden appearance of Liam Jun.

Liam Jun’s sharp eyes scanned the room, finally landing on Mia. After calming his breath a little, Liam Jun took Mia’s wrist and headed inside without saying a word.

“Hey, hey, Liam Jun, what are you doing!” Mia didn’t understand what Liam Jun was trying to do and kept struggling to break free. Who expected that Liam Jun’s hand was like an iron vise, she could hardly shake it.

Liam Jun dragged Mia to Grandpa Jun’s face, a pair of dark eyes looked at Grandpa Jun and asked coldly, “Grandpa, don’t you think it’s too much to do this?”

“Liam Jun, is that the tone you’re using to talk to Grandpa?” Grandpa Jun’s one eye narrowed slightly from anger.

“Liam, what brings you here?” Seeing Liam Jun holding Mia’s small hand tightly, Lily’s heart rose full of doubt, mixed with, and full of unease.

Liam Jun didn’t answer her, he just looked straight at Grandpa Jun, “Grandpa, aren’t you ashamed to bully a woman with so many of you?”

Hearing Liam Jun’s words, everyone present turned pale, and Grandpa Jun even turned blue with anger, coughing non-stop. Lina hurriedly smoothed his breath and chided Liam Jun with dissatisfaction, “Liam, it’s simply too much for you to talk to Grandpa like that!”

Asher didn’t say anything, but his dark eyes were fixed on Liam Jun’s tiny hand holding Mia’s, his face dark.

Mia’s eyes kept hovering between Liam Jun and Grandpa and softly spoke to try and stop it, “That …”

Before she could finish her words, they were cut off hard by Liam Jun’s words, “She’s not allowed to leave, at least, not today.”

Liam Jun’s words managed to ignite Grandpa Jun’s anger, his angry eyes looked at Liam Jun, his palm holding the cane was covered with veins, the muscles of his wrinkled face pulsed as he sternly questioned, “Liam Jun! Do you want to rebel?!”

The serious, sharp eyes seemed to want to devour Liam Jun.

Facing the intimidating Grandpa Jun, Liam Jun was undaunted, his deep eyes fixed on Grandpa, lightly opened his thin lips and repeated his own words again word by word, “She is not allowed to leave.”

Grandpa Jun, who had never been contradicted like this before, his anger bristled, “You have no business here, now get out of my sight!”

“No way!” Liam Jun’s whole body stiffened and stared firmly back at Grandpa’s gaze, tightening his grip on Mia’s wrist.

He was not going to let her go, especially when he thought of her being forced to leave under the duress of so many people, and he was going to get justice for her!

Seeing that Liam Jun and Grandpa Jun were at a standstill and Grandpa Jun was furious, a strong uneasiness rose in Mia’s heart and she whispered to Liam Jun, “Liam, it’s none of the others’ business, it’s me who wants to leave, you’d better let me go!”

Liam Jun turned back, his still rain covered face smiling brightly at her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you leave here alone.”

Since Asher won’t keep her, it’s up to him to protect the woman.
