131 Embracing to Fates (1/2)

Li Yuan leaned back in the seat and turned the key in the ignition with an unexplainable.

He wanted to shout and force her to listen to sort their situation.

But she was hell-bent on destroying the scarce relation they have left.

He had an urge to drag her back inside his sanctum and lock her inside there forever so she can never utter the nonsense she was uttering right now.

He Fisted the steering wheel till his bleeding muscles turned pale.

She was indeed a cruel lover, any other woman would have tried to bandage his wounds or be sympathetic but here she sat with a ticked jaw looking out of the car.

He often what was it about this woman that all other paled in comparison?

Why she out of all beauties appeal him like no other? Li Yuan shook his head lightly. No gain thinking this!

Li Yuan drove the car out of the uncivilized area when both their phones started vibrating at once.

Once connected to Data Lei Xinyi saw she had received calls and messages from Master Lu, Madam Lu, and her head of Security.

Apparently, Li Yaun was right. This place really gave a detached you from the world.

She quickly typed a message telling them she was fine and was with Li Yaun and will call them later. That would placate them for now.

Li Yaun didn't even touch his phone that was 'pinging' with notifications that were until his phone started ringing.

He looked at the screen and hit the brakes instantly of the fast-moving car, causing Lei Xinyi to jerk forward.

In absolute reflex, she dug her heels in the car leather interior to prevent hitting the windshield glass.

Lei Xinyi snapped her head toward him to glare at him when she saw his face contoured in pure irritation and a hint of...worry.

Lei Xinyi was curious to see who was the person to evoke such a reaction from Li Yaun. She tilted her head to d=see the screen when Li Yaun picked up the phone and brought it to his ear.

He rested his elbow on the window and looked out of the windshield glass.

Li Yuan let out a heavy sigh, ”What is it?”

Whatever the person said on the other said, it was obvious Li Yaun didn't like.

He glanced at her from the rearview mirror and smirked, a smirked that let your lungs on fire. It was hard to tell if it was directed at her or the caller.

”I was spending quality time with my lover.” His tone had his arrogancy dripping.

Despite all the devil-may-care attitude. Lei Xinyi could see his tense muscles and jaw clenched.
