MIMI

Chapter 142 - Little One & The Creep

Arriving at her apartment, Mimi led Shen Jue up the stairs.

"I have to say, the building you live in is unique. It's very intriguing." Shen Jue's gentle, lively voice spoke from behind.

Standing in front of her door, Mimi gave him a sharp look and ignored him, directly entering the apartment. Shen Jue faintly smiled and followed her from behind. The moment he entered the apartment, his eyes glowed.

"Oh. Well, this is interesting." He eyed the room curiously and wandered around. "You hardly have any furniture in here. As expected from you, though - you never cared for decorating."

Shen Jue reached out and traced his finger against the plush couch, "Unlike your sister, she was always so passionate about these types of things."

"Stop," Mimi warned in a chilling voice. "Don't talk as if we're familiar."

Shen Jue gave her a casual side glance and chuckled. "May I have a drink?"

Mimi's gaze remained indifferent. "No."

"Oh? Am I not a guest in your home?"

Mimi tilted her head and curled her lips up insincerely. "Sorry, but I don't want to waste a drop of water on a guest like you."

Shen Jue blinked and suddenly his laugh resounded through the room. He wiped the corner of his slightly teary eyes and chuckled. "There's no need to be heartless."

Mimi did not speak with an aloof expression. The moment Shen Jue entered, she had been observing his movements and behavior, yet all she saw was an overbearing, smiling bastard who needed a beating!

Shen Jue could sense the other person's irritation, and he sighed. He leaned his body lazily against the back of the couch and crossed his arms, his peach blossom eyes were curved while he showed a lazy grin.

"As I said previously, I would like to ally with you."

Mimi bluntly retorted, "I'm not interested in allying with you."

"Oh, then why did you agree to speak with me?"

Mimi gave a cold smile, "I didn't want you anywhere near my beloved sister, that's all."

Shen Jue's eyes glistened. "How callous of you."

Hmph, call her what you want.

But she wouldn't allow such an evil man near her sister, dead or alive!

If she had the strength and power, she'd ban the man from stepping fifty feet near her sister's grave!

Whilst Mimi fantasized about torturing the man across from her, she neglected the dimming expression in his eyes, the smile on his face turning more dazzling.

"Although you say that, whether you like it or not, we both need each other. Especially if you want to take revenge on the people who killed your sister."

Mimi's silent gaze shifted and turned menacing. Her teeth itched with rage as she stared at the man across the room, calmly leaning against her couch.

Her hands by her side clenched into fists, her nails nearly piercing through the skin. Shen Jue observed her reaction with a relaxed smile.

Mimi gnashed her teeth and said, "What makes you think I need your help?"

He patiently replied, "Because unlike you, I'm close to your father, who we both know is the main source to Emily's death."

Mimi took a deep breath and steadied her nerves. It had been a while since she let her emotions get the better of her.
