Married to his secret crush

Chapter 372 - One Day...

He walked towards her and grabbed the back of her neck before placing a kiss on her lips, ''But I would rather prefer you over the coffee,'' He whispered and kissed her again before straightening up.

Han Jian Yu, who tasted the overdose of dog food out of nowhere frowned. What's with their casual PDA all the time?

It would have been better with Mia around. Just as the thought of her crossed his mind, he got rid of it in an instant.

''What's wrong?" Yu Mei asked Han Jian Yu after handing the coffee to Jun Zixuan.

''Just thought of someone,'' Han Jian Yu said as he glanced at his coffee.

Jun Zixuan's lips curled up slightly as he walked towards the other end of the couch before taking a seat, ''Is it someone we know?"

Han Jian Yu pursed his lips, ''Probably,'' His reply was concise.

Yu Mei felt like something was going on between them and she was unaware of it at the moment.

While sipping coffee, Han Jian Yu seemed to be lost in his thoughts for a few seconds before he said, ''One day, after I came back after my training, you were nowhere to be found….'' He said.

*Flashback*

''Where is she?" Han Jian Yu asked Han Mei's nanny.

''Young Master, I have not seen Young Miss around for a long time,'' The nanny said, somewhat intimidated by the boy's cold expression. He was too young to be taken seriously but his presence was hard to be ignored, ''I thought she was with you…''

The young Han Jian Yu pursed his lips, ''I was in the training field. What would she do at a place like that?" When she did not reply, he said, ''You should prepare yourself to answer Master Han and Madam Han when they are back,'' With that said, he turned around and left.

The Han Mansion was huge and looking for that 3-year-old child was like finding a needle in the haystack, especially because the little child was a naughty one. If she decided to hide somewhere to trouble people, she would not come out until half the house was wrecked and flipped.

Han Jian Yu checked inside all the rooms one by one, including his room but she was nowhere to be seen. He went to check in the Gardens, her playhouse, drawing room but he did not find her anywhere.

Han Jian Yu was already soaked with his sweat after he came from his training and after running around the whole mansion, he was panting as he placed his hands on his knees and bent his body forward, his hair stuck to his forehead.

Hearing the sounds of approaching footsteps, he raised his head, ''Did you find her?" He asked her the two women standing in front of him. Both of them were his nannies.

As they shook his head, he gritted his teeth. Almost all the servants were given a day off because of Christmas and the guards outside said that they did not see her.

Han Jing and Han Suyin went out for some work and they will only be back before dinner time. Old Master Han and Old Madam Han were visiting their old-time friend.

So, in the whole house, there was nobody left with whom Han Mei would go out.

"What's going on?"

Hearing the voice, Han Jian Yu straightened up as he turned around to look at the man who was walking towards him, ''Father, have you seen M…Young Miss?"

''Young Miss was playing here some time ago. What happened?" Han Sheng frowned as he glanced at her two nannies who had their heads lowered before he gazed at Han Jian Yu who was in a dishevelled condition and looking at him, it seemed like he had been involved in some fight, ''What happened, son?"

''She is nowhere to be found,'' Han Jian Yu shook his head as he looked around somewhat desperately, hoping that she would run out from somewhere.

''How could she not be found? Have you looked carefully?" As Han Jian Yu nodded, Han Sheng took out his phone before dialling a number, ''Quickly check the CCTV around the mansion,'' After hanging up, he looked at Han Jian Yu, ''I will go outside and check it. You keep looking in the house.''

As he looked at the man's retreating back, something clicked in Han Jian Yu's mind. There was someone in the house who would probably know where Han Mei was.

He turned around and ran upstairs. His footsteps came to a halt when he looked at the boy standing in front of him.

''What happened?" Han Liyun, Han Mei's biological brother looked at him in disdain.

"We can't find Young Miss,'' Han Jian Yu said coldly, ''Do you know where she is?"

"How would I know? She is annoying,'' He said but suddenly, he frowned, ''I have seen her looking at the upper floor a few times.''

Han Jian Yu's brows tugged together.

The nannies were stunned when they heard that. The upper floor of the Han's Ancestral Mansion was a forbidden place. Nobody was allowed to go upstairs as it was said that that floor was a bad omen and since the day they worked here, they had not seen anyone going there to clean the place even once.

''Young Master, you can't-'' Even before she could finish her sentence, she saw Han Jian Yu rushing upstairs.

''What did you call him?" Han Liyun glanced at the middle-aged woman.

''Y-Young Master…''

''I am the Young Master. He is only a servant…Only a servant,'' He said angrily as he stood there without bothering to go upstairs. He did not know what was there but it would not be bad if that irritating girl disappeared.

''Mei…'' Han Jian Yu called out as he stepped on the upper floor. The lock of the door was so old that there was rust on it and it was hanging. He pushed the door and stepped inside. There were spider-webs everywhere and the place was pitch-black. He could not see anything properly.

As he stepped forward, a small ray of light illuminated his path. He turned to the left and glanced at the thick curtains. He pulled the curtain aside and the moonlight filtered inside from the floor-to-ceiling glass, illuminating the dark place.

Just as he was about to step forward, he heard some soft noise from a distance.
