232 A Gentleman (2/2)

Without turning to her he voiced his annoyance, ”Why do you even care what happens to him?! He didn't care when you…when you were nibbling or your next breath in your own pool of blood!”

Lei Xinyi closed her eyes at the agony of the event and murmured through gritted teeth, ”You don't understand!”

Li Yuan turned to her with a newfound rage and slid closer to her so their breaths were mingling, ”Then make me understand, Damn it!”

Li Yuan's veins were popping, he was gritting his teeth and huffing out in anger. He was like beast let out loose but Lei Xinyi didn't submit nor did she flinch, she stared at him.

”Do you know who the other Lei Heir's are?” Lei Xinyi asked him quietly, after a while when Li Yuan breathing had calmed and he was resting his head on her forehead.

He didn't respond but his expression of nonchalance was enough when his eyes were shimmering with recognition.

He knew about his dear Su Qianwei, his cousin Yu Wang, the Yu's most treasured employee Jiang Cheng being of the blood of the rival. But then a thought struck her, how did he know?

If it was that much of an apple pie all the heirs would know. She will have to investigate into this later because there was no way Li Yuan would tell her or even if he would. Lei Xinyi was interested in figuring out the limits of his empire.

Lei Xinyi smirked in his direction, not a taunting smirk but rather a gloomy smirk, ”They hate me and I don't blame them for it.”

She sighed, ”See Yi Yang is like Li Qiang is for you, not your real brother but brother never the less. I hate him for what he did but it can't blur the fact that the situation warranted it. You don't kill, you get killed! That's the rule, isn't it?”

Li Yuan's eyes stared at her beholding all the ache her words brought, ”You have killed before, why not kill them too?”

He knew the volumes his words held but there was no battling it, he didn't want them dead but he didn't want her dead too, more than anything. Her disappearance can de-materialize his whole existence, if…if she died, how would he live every day in the agony that she is not there?

Lei Xinyi looked for answers in his dark pair of abyss when she had none, before pushing him away with her hands on his chest; she leaned toward him and smiled ruefully, ”I have never killed in cold blood, never. They are trained assassins, all of them, but I will not forget that this is what I made them.”

Li Yuan gritted his teeth as his sanity seem to want to abandon him; again the same bullsh*t that she killed the bastard Lei and that it was her fault that the games had started.

He wanted to shake her to her senses even if it was her fault, why was she becoming a martyr and offering herself?!

At that moment Li Yuan decided that Lei Xinyi wasn't really good in the decision-making-department and he will deal with all this Lei's drama on his own and later ask her for forgiveness.

It will be like banging his head on the wall for no reason, at the last her needle will still be pointed at the stupid 'honor-suicide' she had come up with as her last resolve!

Li Yuan nodded at his idea that is right. He will deal with this centuries-old crazy tradition of the Lei on his own. His little raven is tired and al fuzzy that is why a little crazy.

In any way, he couldn't wrap around the stupidity that he would allow the woman he had found after this to just serve her life in a platter!

She held his hand and brought it to his heart, ”Ask yourself, Li Yuan, would you want to see them dead. They all are blamelessly forced into this. If it was for me, I would never let any of them die. When…when the time comes, I will be to bury them all with my own hands, and then I will be…”

”So you are going to let them kill you?!”

”No, I will do what I feel is right. I will do anything for my family but if they raise a gun at my head they are no family.”

At that moment Li Yuan wanted to claw her mother's heart out. If only that b*tch hadn't deprived Lei Xinyi of a family like that, she wouldn't go around looking for deranged relations in murderers!

He wanted to f*cking show her, how he can give her as much family she wanted, that she would be popping out one every year!

If only he wasn't a gentleman!
