MIMI

At that moment, Mimi"s breathing stopped. Every word he spoke stung her, and resentment blossomed within her. Eyes narrowed, her grip on the blade tightened to the point of trembling.

Yet, her body froze in place, staring into nothingness, not a single response to Shen Jue"s words.

Blinded by rage, Mimi hadn"t realized the blade in her hand pierced through the man"s skin underneath her.

It was until she noticed the trickling trail of blood, did Mimi freeze in her spot at that moment. Bright crimson blood flowed out from his neck, sliding down slowly.

Momentarily stunned, Mimi slowly flashed her eyes, her gaze looking a little dazed. Shen Jue noted her deadpan expression and sighed lightly. In swift, unexpected movements, he gripped her wrist and twisted the girl"s body off of him, pinning her down beneath him.

Mimi finally regained herself when she found the man"s bright, curved eyes peering down at her.

She blinked.

Waaah! This crazy, s.a.d.i.s.t, creepy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Opening her mouth to reb.u.t.tal curses at him, Shen Jue"s low and sunny voice interrupted her.

"Tell me, why has the little one come to pay me such a surprising visit?"

As if he resurrected her initial reasons for coming here, a layer of frost coated her green contact eyes.

"You sent the security footage to Tobias didn"t you?"

Shen Jue laughed lightly, his gaze calm. Without waiting for Shen Jue to ask how she knew, Mimi began to explain.

"First off, the only one who had access to the footage before it was removed was you. And…" Mimi"s eyes narrowed. "The name of the file…it"s plainly obvious only you would be crazy enough to t.i.tle it something like that."

Five days ago after her argument with Alec, she met up with Tobias at his office. At the time, she had already long suspected it was Tobias, who looked into the security footage and informed Alec.

Though in the back of her mind, she felt slightly suspicious of how Tobias came to find the security footage.

Yet, who would have thought that she would find something very interesting.

When catching a glimpse at Tobias"s laptop, she noticed a folder on the screen labeled with the word "[1]chibi". It wouldn"t have been too conspicuous if it was on someone else"s laptop, but this was Tobias Itou.

Cold, emotionless Tobias Itou.

To Mimi, this file was enough for her to conclude.

How could she not know who that belonged to? Only one man would name a file such a foolish name.

Shen Jue smiled without answering. He looked down at the girl beneath him, her green eyes glaring up at him. It seemed whenever he saw her, she would only display an expression of anger, disgust or ridicule. Only to him did she refuse to display her gentle, cheerful smile.

When he thought of this, the frost in his eyes began to gradually melt.

After a long time he let out a gentle laugh, "You"re right, it was me. I didn"t expect the little one to be so smart."

The girl blinked her indifferent eyes, her inscrutable face seemed to be unaffected by Shen Jue"s teasing words. There was a lengthy silence.

Mimi coldly opened, "For dragging Tobias into this… What kind of game are you playing, Shen Jue?"

"Hmm…" Shen Jue suddenly paused, his eyes curving. "Mimi, are you perhaps mad I used your precious Tobias?"

Mimi"s expression slightly tensed and her body frozen in shock. She breathed slightly with an icy look on her face. Shen Jue had been observing her the entire time. His eyes easily caught those subtle expressions on her face and the joyful light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

The girl had a delicate appearance, with neck length hair, bright green eyes hinted with purple and fair skin. Coming from work, she was casually dressed in a black tailored suit that looked both comfortable and eye-catching. At that moment, those green eyes of hers were narrowed, rigid, and cold.

Shen Jue"s lips curled up, his eyes were dim. "I see…How rare of you to show a reaction."

Mimi"s eyes flashed slightly, her mouth tightened. A sudden chill ran down her spine under the man"s smiling, heated gaze.

Shocked by the sudden expression on his face, Mimi subconsciously reached for the knife by her side only to have her wrist gripped tightly. Shifting her gaze to look at the man on top of her, her body chilled.

The man"s glistening eyes appeared calm on the surface, but Mimi could detect the slightest killing intent within them.

His eyes looked incredibly dangerous right now.

"Shen Jue, you…"

Before she had the chance to speak, the man had bent over slightly, drawing closer to her ear and whispered, "I didn"t think it"d bother me, but I really don"t like…"

Mimi"s face scrunched up in displeasure from the warm breath on her ear. She raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Jue to see his clean hand reached out to come before her face. Mimi flinched when his cold fingertips stroked the corner of her eyes and cheek.

Mimi"s mind was in utter chaos and rage at that point.

"Your green contacts."

"Eh?" Mimi blinked.

Shen Jue smiled and leveled his fingers to her eyes, "I don"t like your contacts. The little one"s violet eyes are much more beautiful."

Mimi: "…" She widened her eyes as her face turned stiff and she was lost in a daze.

Mimi"s face immediately lit up with an intense murderous rage. The strong urge to want to tear the man"s face off had been just too intense.

"Get off. Now."

"Mm, I"m good."

"If you don"t get off me in the next ten seconds, I will personally and with much joy, cut your b.a.l.l.s off."

"Ooh, how scary. Very well, I"ll get off." Shen Jue laughed.

They stared at one another in silence.

Mimi frowned deeply. "Why aren"t you getting off?"

"Haha, you said to get off in the next ten seconds. Only five have pa.s.sed."

A deadpan expression surfaced upon Mimi"s face.

"Shen Jue, you have a lot of loose screws in that terrifying head of yours."

Shen Jue had a faint smile on his face, "Why thank you. I feel honored to hear you say that."

Following those words, Shen Jue lifted himself off the girl"s body and took the dagger from her hand, gently setting it on the table.

"Next time, when you come over, don"t play with such dangerous toys."

Mimi sat straight on the couch and folded her hands on her lap, her lips slightly turned downward.

She looked at him coldly, then asked, "Stop with the jokes. What exactly was your purpose in sending that footage to Tobias?"

Shen Jue leaned himself against the sofa while he rested his cheek on his hand, his eyelids held, closed, revealing a lazy devilish expression.

"Would you believe me if I said I did it for you?"

"No." Mimi coldly said.

Shen Jue didn"t get angry and said gently, "Your father was getting suspicious of us, he even went as far as to hire someone out of the country to track our movements. So, I had no choice but to employ one of your golden fingers to divert our tracks from him."

Mimi suppressed the rising anger in her heart, "You used Tobias for that purpose? Have you ever thought of how that could affect him?"

Shen Jue was silent for two seconds and said frankly, "Do you remember the purpose of why we"ve done all of this?"

Mimi didn"t answer, she stared at Shen Jue with cold, ruthless eyes.

How could she forget?

Everything she had done until now had been for her sister. Whenever Mimi recalled that the beautiful girl who would smile at her and treat her so kindly was killed by her heartless family, her thirst for revenge ignited.

Mimi didn"t say a word but gently nodded her head.

The corner of Shen Jue"s mouth curled up. "Then there shouldn"t be a problem with manipulating a few people, right?"

Mimi"s body was stiff, her eyes glazed at Shen Jue for a long time.

She lowered her head and said in a whispered voice, "I…"

Her heart became alarmed and began to tremble.

Shen Jue stared amusedly at the slight change of face that Mimi showed. He perceived the anger in her slowly dissipated, replaced with confliction.

Shen Jue leaned forward toward the girl, he whispered with a smile on his face, "Have you forgotten you"re a Hirogori, a cold-blooded human. Using people for your advantage is natural. To complete our goal, this is the only way."

Mimi"s eyes flashed. The fists by her side clenched a slight tremor in them.

He was right.

Though she never considered herself a part of the family, she was still one of them. The disgusting, cold blood ran through her veins.

This she could never change.

At that moment, Mimi"s face was ghastly pale. Without the slightest bit of color, her body was trembling from head to toe. Shen Jue stared at her silently, his mouth maintained a faint smile as he looked at her with a bemused expression.

He stretched out his hand to caress her head when the girl"s eyes suddenly flashed, and she slapped his hand away.

In a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, she coldly spat, "What you"re saying may be true. Following this path, and with their blood in my veins, I no longer possess the right to act morally toward others…"

Mimi closed her eyes heavily, looking as if she were trying to expel a flood of grim memories rushing to her head. Upon opening them, she raised her spiritless face and stared at Shen Jue menacingly.

"However, don"t pull that kind of stuff on the people around me."

Shen Jue blinked at her harsh expression. He looked at her, and his eyes squinted.

With words filled with laughter, he said in a voice that was gentle as ever, "All right, I won"t do it again, I promise."

Mimi got the answer she wanted and showed a cruel smile. She said nothing and stood up from the sofa, s.n.a.t.c.hing the dagger off the table. With that, the girl fled the building.

Shen Jue looked at her fleeing back, the corner of his lips tugged upward, and he grinned devilishly.
