156 Mocking Mornings (1/2)

Lei Xinyi woke up with a splitting headache. She ripped her eyelids open to see Li Yaun freshly out of his built-in gym. He glanced at her coldly with an estranged gaze then turned and walked to the washroom.

She groaned because of the lights in the room that was hurting her head even more than Li Yuan. She buried her face deep in the pillow. She would look into it later.

Her headache wasn't letting her sleep but she wasn't wide awake too. A mental image of yesterday events reeled in her head like a film and she shot up on the bed.

She winced at once as the pain erupted by the sharp movement but then froze. Yesterday, she remembered meeting Su Qianwei, the snake. Then she went to a deserted place and drank...

After that everything was pretty much blurry. She panicked at once.

She always babbled in her drunken state, it was a habbit she picked from her despair. All the emotions and secrets she bottled, burst out like a fountain out of her mouth when she was drunk.

And sometimes even her alternate personality emerged too. She would act stupid like a savage ostrich and crave affectionm like a needy leech.

Other times she was a sleepy drunkard and that mostly happened when she was drained, emotionally and physically.

Nobody could tell what kind of drunk she was going to be until the next morning.

Did she tell him about her real identity? Or worse did he get to know about the escape plan? Did he see her injuries and got suspicious?

Lei Xinyi eyes widened in horror, her eyes moving frantically but then her situation settled in. She was wearing the same clothes she was wearing yesterday! And if she did babble anything like that she wouldn't be on his bed!

Li Yuan took that moment to come out of the dressing room. Dressed. He ignord her presence, like she wasn't even there and stood in front of the vanity table.

Her head was kiling her hand in hand with sucktion in the atmosphere. Syncing allies.

Her mouth was dry and it had nothing to do with dehydration. She licked her lips and softly called, ”Li Yuan.”

It was her way of testing the waters.

His eyes ablazed and lips pursed, his hand stilled once combing his hair but he didn't turn to her but walked to the door with steady steps.

Lei Xinyi panicked and ran to him and held his arm but he jerked his arm out of her hold, like she was infected with a plaque.

A pang emerged in her heart which was replaced with rage in a matter of seconds. He was still galring at her, like she had betrayed him.

Lei Xinyi return a twin glare and shouted, ”I was depressed and lonely, Okay! I am locked here the whole day with no one to talk to! The whole wedding and fake pregnancy were freaking me out so...”
