Late at night, Mia emerged in her garden, drawing a deep breath before venturing indoors. Upon entering the kitchen, an old woman greeted her cheerfully, "Greetings, Your Highness."Mia arched an eyebrow, and the old lady chuckled, "I apologize. I meant greetings to my dear Mia."A warm smile graced Mia's lips, "Ah, that's more like my sweet Grandma Wen. I'm utterly exhausted."Mia went to her and hugged her tightly."Thank God you are finally back. I was really worried about you. The kids were also worried about you," the old lady said, her voice filled with genuine concern and relief.Mia released her from the hug, concern etched on her face. "Are they both alright?""No need to worry, they are both fine, but Liana is a bit hurt. They ate their lunch and went back to their rooms. Oh, I forgot to mention, your Grandpa Wen is a bit sick. If I don't have anything else to do, I will go back," the old lady informed her."Okay, you can go back. Thank you for always helping us. If Grandpa's
The car screeched to a halt as Mia urgently instructed Mr. Tao, "Take a turn, we need to rush to the airport."He nodded in understanding, replying, "No worries."Swiftly, he maneuvered the car towards the airport, the chauffeur inquiring, "Is there trouble again?"Mia confirmed, "The staff member meant to pick up Mr. Martin had an accident. We must hurry before he gets upset; he's a special client.""Rest assured, we're almost there," the chauffeur reassured."Soon, they arrived at the airport, where Mia instructed Mr. Tao, "Come with me."He followed her closely. A tall, imposing figure stood there, his broad shoulders wrapped in a long fur coat that exuded an air of sophistication. His sunglasses hid his eyes, adding an aura of mystery. He appeared to be in his early thirties, his golden brown hair shimmering brightly in the sunlight, highlighting his distinctly American features. Beside him stood a lady of similar age, her blonde hair neatly tied up in a bun atop her head. Despite
Mia settled into her seat as Lin Yang took the opposite one."Your Highness, you..." he began, but Mia's expression turned stern."Are you planning to expose my identity to everyone?" she asked, her voice firm.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, President Chi. I was careless.""It's alright, but please be more cautious. In private, just call me by my name. You're older than me, and it feels disrespectful when someone older uses those titles. Remember, I told your grandfather that we are friends, so there's no need for formalities between friends."He smiled, "If you say so. Still, it's a bit strange, but in return, you should call me Lin Yang since we are friends."She smiled back and nodded."I came here to discuss something important with you," he said, his tone serious."I'm listening," she replied, her attention fully focused."First of all, you should stay away from Mr. Martin. He is a Magical Dragon from the dark beasts. Not only that, but he's the one who stole the presentation.
Lin hurried towards Mia, clutching her close, desperately calling her name to no avail. His heart pounding, he checked her pulse, his shock palpable. Hastily, he dialed his grandfather's number, "Grandpa, Mia's affected by the cold toxin. She vomited blood and lost consciousness. What can I do to help her?" Lin's grandfather Bo Yang, anxious upon hearing about Mia, cautioned Lin against the hospital, advising, "No matter what don't take her to hospital. Take her home. I'll bring aid. Hurry, but be cautious!"Placing his cell phone away, Lin gently lifted Mia, carrying her to his car. Shock and concern rippled through the entire office as the staff witnessed Mia's state. Driving towards Mia's home, Lin's mind was consumed with worry."Mia, please hold on a little longer. I'll ensure nothing harms you. Few people in this would've been kind to me, and I can't bear to lose them," Lin said, his eyes teary, glancing at unconscious Mia seated beside him. Checking her pulse every minute whil
As the morning light seeped through the trees, Mia slowly opened her eyes, greeted by the familiar sight of her surroundings. With a wry chuckle, she mumbled to herself, "Here I am again, under this tree all by myself. I hope there isn't another execution by the leaders happening today. Oh, dear."As she prepared to rise from the ground, someone called out her name. "Mia, stay there," came the command.Turning, Mia spotted Lin approaching, trailed by the leaders. Upon reaching her, Lin sat down beside her, earning stern glares from the leaders. "What's happening?" Mia inquired, seeking an explanation. The leaders greeted her, and Mia courteously returned their greetings."Mia, are you alright now? If you're feeling sick, tell me," Lin asked, showing concern for her well-being."Hey, behave yourself. You can't call her by her name disrespectfully," admonished the Phoenix leader, directing her anger at Lin."It's okay. No need to be angry with him. He's my friend. I asked him to call me t
After finishing breakfast, they went to inspect the diverse sets of herbs brought by the leaders. Lin followed Mia in the process. Mia got busy analyzing the herbs, in meanwhile, Lin was busy observing Mia. She noticed his gaze and looked back at him. Calling out to him, she said, "Lin, come here."Approaching her, Lin remarked, "Mia, you've gathered quite a lot of herbs here. Feels like I've stepped into the laboratory of a Chinese Medicine expert."Mia grinned, "I can't call you wrong; the abundance of herbs does create that impression. But, I need to discuss something important with you."Nodding in acknowledgment, Lin added, "I'm all ears, you may speak..."Mia led the way, and Lin followed. They strolled until they reached a beautiful garden outside the lab, where Mia sat on the ground, Lin joining her. Gazing at the sky, Mia started the conversation, "You must be aware of the diseases spreading among the beasts."He nodded, "I've heard and also learned that you informed the lead
Grandpa Wen smiled, "You both are fated to meet each other. I am not harming anyone but doing what should be done." Mia frowned, "Grandpa, what do you mean by fated?"He looked at her, "Right now stop thinking about this matter and think about your mate. Lin is a good kid. Don't break your friendship with him."Mia looked frustrated, "But Grandpa..."He left without any other word.Lin was sitting on a chair close to the windows of the room. He was looking at the sky. In his hands was a picture frame. He looked down at the frame, "Mom, I finally found someone who cares about me like you and Mi. She looks a lot like Mi and that's why I want to stay beside her more. I know Mi is dead but thinking that she is alive relieves my pain of guilt a bit. If that day I had saved her, then today I won't be like this."He smiled, "Mia is like a bright moon in my life. The same as the one in the dark sky. From the first moment I met her, I felt like my Mi is back. How can two people look so much
"Can I come in?", Mr. Martin asked.Mia replied while looking at some files, "Sure, Mr. Martin." He entered, "I was here to thank you for doingall the arrangements for my stay. It is a thank you gift from me." She looked up. He was holding a bouquet to her.In the meanwhile, Lin was going to enter the office room but he stopped at the sight of Liam Martin holding a bouquet to Mia. He saw them from the slightly opened door left by Liam. Mia smiles and takes the bouquet, "Thank you for this but there was no need for it. I just did what I was supposed to. By the way, what would you like to have ?" He smiled, "Oh, no need for that. I know that you are going to have a meeting after a little while so, I won't be bothering you anymore. I will be leaving then."He went away. When he opened the door Lin was standing there. He chuckled at his sight.Liam closed the door behind himself.He looked into Lin's eyes and whispered, "Stay away from her."He went away. Lin's hands turned into fist
