148 Free Bird (2/2)

And everyone knew how the place was literally a fortress. He was definitely just trying to keep her away from that place because he still thought of her as suspicious.

Lei Xinyi could see that Li Yuan's mood was getting sore because she wasn't holding a conversation with him or cooing him but she was too tired from the drama and needed a little silence.

”We are here.”

Lei Xinyi raised her brow at him, looking at the location. They were at the Li's Ancestral House.

They were supposed to visit Master Lu and Madam Lu today. That's what he told her, anyway.

Why did he bring them to evil relative's threshold was beyond her.

Li Yuan ignored her questioning gaze and came to her side and opened the door. Lei Xinyi looked at his extended hand and gave him a blank look.

”Weren't we supposed to visit my parents today?”

Seeing as Lei Xinyi made no effort to take his hand, he forcefully grabbed her hand and brought her out.

”Yes, and we will. They are inside.” He replied expressionlessly.

Lei Xinyi felt like her anger couldn't reach anymore heights. No wonder he was dolling her up like that. He was showing her off in a family get together.

He doesn't take her opinion into consideration, that was one thing, but he didn't even think it was important to inform her of his plans.

Li Yuan was practically dragging her all the way. Lei Xinyi snatched her hand from his hold, stopping him in his tracks too.

Lei Xinyi glared at him with her cat eyes, ”When were you going to tell me this?”

Li Yuan looked at the surrounding. The Blackguards were looking ahead, but he knew better they were all ears.

He was getting frustrated by her snappy mood. Heaving a calming breath, he held her by the elbow, ”Let's talk about this when we get home.”

Lei Xinyi broke free and pushed him away, ”No! We talk about this now. When were you going to tell me?”

He clenched and unclenched his jaw. He was just a ticking bomb and Lei Xinyi was toying with his wires.

He held her forcibly by her arm and dragged her with him through the hallways.

Of all the places she could have wanted to make a scene, she decided his Grandfather Cave to. These people here would grill her alive, knowing her even one nerve.

A wise woman would be measuring her steps among these wolves and here she was twirling to her own beats.

He liked her when she was cheery, attentive, and responsive to him, but the other version of her annoyed him. It was like she was always trying to create boundaries or distances.

”It was supposed to be a surprise, why are you getting so worked up?!” Li Yuan said in her ear through gritted teeth.
