117 A Queen Wielding Power (1/2)

Lei Xinyi slid in the car after Li Yaun, He was sitting in the car looking out of the windshield.

He had an intense look in his eyes. Lei Xinyi didn't want to know what he was thinking.

He looked far more dangerous then she had remembered him to be.

He grabbed a cigarette from the packet and lit it with the lighter. He smoked still looking out of the windshield glass.

His aura was ice cold and the tension was that thick that it could be cut with a knife.

In all the time she had known him she had never seen him smoke. She did see the ashtray there on the dashboard but knew he hardly smoked because if he did she would have smelt it on him.

He had been acting estranged and stiff like he was barely suppressing his anger from the morning.

They were still parked in front of the Lu Mansion. Lei Xinyi felt sweat trickle down her back in spite of the air conditioner that was running.

”Li Yuan, why are you not driving. W..we are getting late for work.” Lei Xinyi said in a voice barely above a whisper.

Li Yaun expressionless face broke out into a smirked still looking out of the windshield, he smashed the cigarette in the ashtray on the dashboard.

”I will ask this once. Xinyi, did you leave the Mansion yesterday night?”

Lei Xinyi froze and felt a shiver run up her spine. She went pale in fear.

He had seen her but there was no way he could have known or realized it was her. At least this was what she was hoping.

He was just making wild guesses she told herself. If he was sure she wouldn't be in his car but in the underground prison.

Lei Xinyi forced a smile on her face, ”I didn't. I haven't since we have reunited. Why asking?”

She tried to act as casual as she could with the building tension and dropping temperature.

Li Yaun shook his head in mock amusement. Then moved closer to her. Lei Xinyi instinctively slid backward till her back was pressed against the car door.

Li Yuan smirk widened by her reaction. He moved closer to her and brought his one hand behind her waist and cupped her face with the other hand.

His touch wasn't one of a lover but of a predator. It wasn't how he usually held her. It was dreadful and was scaring her to the core.

”Are we still playing this game?! When I ask you something you tell me nothing but the truth!”

”I am not lying...”

Li Yuan slammed his fist on the window glass close to where her head rested.

Lei Xinyi breathing hitched in her throat. The glass was broken she had heard the shattering voice.
