Chapter 58 - Vixen (1/2)
Ying Sheng yawned for the nth time as she scanned the ballroom with a bored expression on a face. She had to admit the room was big and beautiful. Crystal chandeliers spiraled down from the white ceiling, the floors were made with white marble tiles which complimented the glimmering golden walls of the hotel.
Ying Sheng rolled her eyes when she saw those spoiled heiresses staring at her with hate and contempt. She had never gotten along with them since they were kids. They were too fake and scheming for her liking. Ying Sheng smirked when she noticed them looking at her dress with envy, showing a scowl on their faces.
Ying Sheng had to admit she looked beautiful tonight thanks to her mother. She was wearing a black evening gown covered with black lace. The dress featured one, solid black, long close-fitting sleeve which hide her big snake tattoo while the other side was off shoulder, Grecian style.
A long slit appeared in front of one side of the gown which she paired it with black stiletto heels that showed off her beautiful long legs. Her long, red hair was curled and was waving down to her waist. Her makeup was dark and sultry with a dark red lipstick, which made her look s.e.xy and alluring with a mysterious aura surrounding her.
She gave the men who were checking her out a sultry wink with a seductive smile on her face. She took a sip of her wine and ignored the deadly glares the women were giving her as she lazily scanned the room in hopes that she would see her cousin, Lei Zhao.
Then her eyes slammed into a pair of shimmering amber eyes.
Liam Xia looked at the woman standing at the corner of the room with a glass of wine in her hands with a bored look on her face and gulped. She was clearly a vixen. This are the types of girls he had to stay away from, but there was something about her that pulled him to her.
Her emotions were not easily hidden on her face. Her boredom was evident in the crease of her lovely brows and down-curve of her full lips. She looked like she wanted be anywhere but here at the moment.
Her bright brown eyes gazed at him. Her crescent shaped eyebrows inclined slightly when she saw him staring at her. He slowed the lump in his throat.
A smug grin appeared on her face as a mischievous glint flashed through her eyes. Liam Xia immediately looked at the ground and tried to calm down his beating heart.
He was about to look up when he saw a pair of black stiletto step in front of his view. He swallowed nervously and looked up to find her standing in front of him.
”Why were you checking me out,” she queried bluntly with amus.e.m.e.nt laced in her voice.
Liam blushed as he bit his lips nervously.
”I-I-sorry.”
Ying Sheng gave him a lopsided grin,
”It's okay, I'm Ying Sheng. What's your name?”
Liam Xia widened his eyes in shock. Was she introducing herself to him? He was the kind of boy that girls like to avoid.
He was a complete nerd who didn't know how to flirt. He usually plays games and rarely attend parties. He spent most of his time with his books, that's why he was able to get a PhD at the age of eighteen.
”I'm Liam,” he said, licking his lips nervously as he introduced himself.
He blushed when he saw her staring at his lip with an intense gaze. Ying Sheng walked closer to him and whispered huskily in his ear.
”I loved how your face turns red, knowing it is me affecting you.”
His breath hitched and he blushed profusely. Liam took a step back, making the girl in front of him throw her head back in a fit of laughter when she saw his whole face red.
”Cute,” she teased, swirling her glass then took a sip of her wine. ”So, Liam. How old are you?”
He felt a surge of desire overwhelm him when he heard her mention his name. He even wondered how she would sound m.o.a.ning, saying his name.
Liam widened his eyes by his dirty thoughts. He never had such thoughts about a woman before! As a v.i.r.g.i.n at the age of twenty-three, he had never had dirty thoughts about a woman before… until today.
”I'm twenty-three,” he mumbled, shaking himself from his own thoughts.
