Chapter 110: The Strong Scent of Gunpowder
Without waiting for Mia’s response, Lina seemed to be afraid of her refusal, her face was full of prayers, not caring about her image in the slightest, looking flustered and speaking extremely fast, “Miss Leng, I beg you, please leave Asher, once you leave, Asher will come back to me!”
Mia is getting a huge headache!
Helplessly glancing at the deep-faced Asher beside her, Asher received her gaze and immediately spoke coldly, “Lina, if you don’t want me to send someone to leave in a special way, please leave by yourself. Although I really don’t want to see you, I’ll still save you some face, but if it’s the next time, you won’t be so lucky!”
“Well, why don’t you go to the other room first, and I’ll talk to Miss Ri?” Feeling that Leena was holding on to her shirt and had no intention of leaving, Mia shook her head helplessly and softened her voice to Asher.
Asher gave her a deep look and hesitated for a few seconds before finally admonishing, “You take care of yourself!”
After saying that, he never looked at Leena again and strutted off towards the other room.
“Miss Lai, now that he is no longer in the living room, you can stand up.” Gesturing awkwardly with her eyes, Mia politely said to Leena, who was still tugging on her shirt and not letting go, “You stand up, or else, I won’t be able to talk.”
Hesitating for a moment, Riina immediately stood up, pulled out a Kleenex from her bag, quickly fixed her makeup, and sat down across from Mia in a feigned calm, “Do you think that you have the capital to negotiate with me now?”
“Miss Lai, you seem to have been very hostile to me.” Enduring the pain and putting down her leg on the sofa, Mia replaced it with a faint smile and quietly looked at Lina, who had returned to normal in an instant, across from her.
“Mia, let’s not talk in front of the obvious, if you were in my place, would you be worried about your current situation?” When she looked around alertly and was sure that no one around would hear her, the corners of Riina’s mouth hung in a sneer, “Five years ago, I thought you would never come back after you disappeared, but to my surprise, you actually came back with a new skin, kind of I underestimated you, humph!”
The way Riina looked at Mia now was clearly the same way she had looked at her five years ago, full of contempt and disdain, even with an innate sense of superiority.
It seemed, sitting in front of her, was the same Mia from five years ago!
The surprise on her face passed away instantly, Mia still kept a faint smile on her face, “Miss Lai, five years have passed and you haven’t even kept Asher by your side, you haven’t even married Asher as you wanted to, so I guess, blame it all on me, right?”
“Mia, don’t try to run away, I don’t know Asher, but I’ve known him for a lot longer than you have, and if it wasn’t for you, he wouldn’t have never touched another woman again, he wouldn’t have moved house immediately, and he wouldn’t have extended the wedding between us indefinitely … “At this point, Leena suddenly realized that what she had said seemed to have gone out of her mouth and immediately shut up and didn’t go any further.
Riina’s words sent a shiver through Mia’s heart, was the man she originally thought was cold and heartless really like that?
But why would he be cruel enough to abort the child that belonged to both of them in the first place?
Just a little stunned, thinking of the aborted child, Mia instantly regained her composure and said coldly, “Miss Lai, not being tethered to a man for so long, instead of looking for your own reasons, you blame it all on me instead, don’t you think it’s outrageous?”
Lena was silent.
She knew in her heart that what Mia was saying was not true.
There was nothing good about Mia before Asher met her, and even if Mia didn’t show up, another woman would have!
The seat she’s worked so hard to get is going to have to give way sooner or later!
That’s why she’s desperately trying to get married to Asher, for nothing more than to tie Asher to her in name only with a marriage certificate!
She was silent for a long time before she finally said in a cold voice, “Mia, no matter what you say, I’m not going to want to give Asher up to you. I’m a person who has a habit that even if I can’t get a person or a thing, I’d rather ruin it than let anyone else get it.”
“Miss Lai, who told you that I want Asher?” coldly hooking her lips, Mia’s voice was full of disgust and sarcasm, “It’s just that what you just said is really annoying, I finally know why Asher dislikes you so much! Have you never known that you are very annoying!”
Lena, however, didn’t even seem to care about the sarcasm that followed her, just looked at her blankly for half a day and asked sluggishly, “You said, you just said, you weren’t thinking of getting Asher? So tell me, what exactly do you want?”
“The hurt from five years ago doesn’t just heal, and, there are some hurts that won’t heal for a lifetime.” Mia’s gaze was deep and full of hurt, “Sadly, what Asher gave me is the kind of hurt that won’t heal for a lifetime. Can you hear me when I say that?”
With a hint of uncertainty on her face, Lena asked carefully, “So you’re saying that you have no intention of replacing me at all?”
“Miss Lina, if I really wanted to replace you, I believe the name Mia, seems to work better for him than the name Condensation, so why would I be so stupid as to change it?” Mia forced the pain in her foot to talk to Leena for half a day, a thin bead of sweat was already seeping on her forehead, “And don’t blame it on other women when you can’t tether a man, or think about yourself first!”
“So, what are you going to do next after that?” After a moment’s hesitation, Leena opened her mouth to ask anyway.
Despite getting Mia’s confirmation, she’s still uneasy that Mia is like a ticking time bomb that will blow her extravagant life to smithereens just by existing in Asher’s life for one day!
Mia understood her mentality and sighed helplessly, “I just told Master Jun that as long as you’re willing to forgive him, my job is done!”
“It’s that simple?” Lena was stunned, still seemingly in disbelief, “I’m not even mad at Asher, there’s no talk of forgiveness or unforgiveness. As long as you guys stop dealing with each other, I’ll forgive him!”
Seeing the look on Riina’s face, Mia shook her head helplessly, “Don’t expect Asher to care about your feelings when you care so little about yours. Well, I’m going to leave now, so you guys can talk about it!”
After saying that, Mia let herself struggle to her feet and limped towards the door. Lena watched her back and looked out suddenly.
By the time she reached the door, Mia, who was already in a cold sweat from the pain, just mumbled helplessly, “Ugh, I acted like the good guy and forgot that I can’t even walk on one leg now! What a deserving thing to do!”
“So, you know you deserve it too!” No sooner had her words left her lips than a tall shadow appeared around her, shrouding her petite form within it, “Tell me, why are you in such a hurry to leave when the wound on your foot has not yet healed?”
Rolling her eyes helplessly, Mia twisted her head in frustration and looked at the very hard-faced Asher, shrugging her shoulders and saying helplessly, “Master Asher, you told me earlier that if I could get Lina to forgive you, you’d be willing to let me go, and now that I’ve gotten her to forgive you, why are you still chasing me!”
Asher’s face, suddenly frozen.
In the next second, Asher had bent down, attached himself to the small woman in front of him and picked her up, striding towards the outside of the villa.
Mia froze at the sudden turn of events and danced around asking, “Hey Asher, I just told you, Lena has forgiven you now, what more do you want.”
The surrounding servants and bodyguards, who obviously didn’t understand the situation, looked at Asher and Mia who were behaving abnormally in a dumbfounded manner, but were too scared to let out their breath.
“I don’t want to do anything right now but take you back!” Asher, who was sitting in the driver’s seat as he shoved the yelling Mia into the passenger side, finally flung over a cold comment.
You can tell that Asher is in a bad mood, very bad!
Mia, who knew Asher was in a bad mood, wisely didn’t say anything and chose to be silent.
By the time they got back to where Mia was staying, Asher had just gotten out of the car when he saw that Namgung asked had walked over and helped Mia, who was on the passenger side, out of the car, quickly noticing the difference in her foot and asking with concern, “What’s wrong with you, did your foot hurt?”
“I’m fine, I just broke my foot a bit, it’s better now.” Naturally placing her small hand into Nangong Man’s large hand, Mia looked natural and gentle in front of Nangong Man, without any of the sharpness and edge she had with Asher in the slightest.
Asher clenched his fists hard at the sight of the two together, a dark tide in his dark eyes.
“Master Jun, thank you for sending her back, I’ve been waiting for a long time, I thought something had happened to her!” Seeing Asher’s unkind gaze, Nangong asked with a faint smile, sincerely thanking him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Asher’s dark eyes were cold and his voice was raw, “That’s a really strange thank you from Mr. Nangong, you’re not any of her, so why are you thanking me? Also, when Mr. Nangong said he waited for a long time, was he implying that I shouldn’t have been with her for so long?”
Asher’s mouth was full of fire when he opened it.
Nangong asked and looked at Mia meaningfully, only to see Mia helplessly turning her face away with a headache.
For some reason, after seeing their expressions, Nangong asked his heart was still icy cold.
