She was mortified and pushed him away. She abruptly sat down and trained her eyes on the floor.

She really thought she couldn't be more embarrassed today but it was like she really underestimated herself.

She winced because of her shrewdness. They must think of her as a slut now!

Li Yuan wasn't the least bit embarrassed but looked rather displeased by not being able to taste his cherry.

He sat beside her and pulled her close so they were hip to hip and his arms on her waist.

Li Yaun furrow

So she was cocooned in his warmth.

His Grandfather didn't look bothered but his Mother and Grandmother were other stories.

Anxiety was creeping in her when Lei Xinyi's eyes saw a glint of Old Madam Li's sapphire necklace that shining in the sunlight as if winking at her to chill it down.

Lei Xinyi was admiring the blue beauty in front of her. The sapphires resembled the exact color of Madam Li's orbs. Such beauties you just can't forget...

Madam Li and Old Madam Li were glaring at her with hate.

The Missy had Li Yuan wrapped around her pinky finger, that also effortlessly, and that was not tolerable!

They were hardly sharing him with each other, already!

They both shared a look of confidentiality. The enemy of your enemy is always a friend! They were in this battle together!

Old Madam Li turned to Li Yuan with a smile than her expression turned rueful.

She placed a hand on her chest dramatically, ”My boy, I see how life hasn't been treating you well. It aches my heart to think you have to be subjected to an arranged union and would never be able to experience what a blessing love is.”

”Now you have to act to be affectionate to a complete stranger for public sake... You too, Xinyi it must be hard on you as well.”

Lei Xinyi stiffened at once hearing this and her hands that were clutching his immediately left his hand. Her heart ached to think if he was really acting.

If this all was fake. Although she wasn't the real Lu Xinyi but that was the only affection she had ever known and knowing that it wasn't even real, hurts like a b*tch.

Li Yuan sensed the change in her mood at once. He was about to retort but his Mother made a grunting sound.

She nodded her feigning solemn, ”Your Nonna's right! Love is really a rarity here, but something profound to be worth waiting. Thinking about love reminds me Emilia and Aria called for you.”

Listening to his mother rant he was irked but hearing the names he muttered a curse under his breath.

Nobody did, but Lei Xinyi sure heard it clear, turning her heart turned ice cold.

What was about these girls that Madam Li remembered them hearing of love? If he had nothing to hide, then he wouldn't have a reaction as strong as this!
