234 Chit Cha (1/2)

Li Yuan laid her on the bed with care and tenderness as if she was made of glass. He stared at the woman who had been the sole source of his relief and distress since he laid his eyes on her on an eventful evening.

He frowned in deep thought, it was like everything before her was crumbled to dust behind her. It was like he didn't know a living before her.

She wasn't an innocent girl he was taking to bed after nuptial vows, she was a woman. Mature, cunning, clever beyond her years, her eyes shimmered with experience of life in her veins and her features, they told you tales.

She was venomous and he knew she was the cure too. There were many who desired her and her posture and stature told you she was aware of her allure but she was his. And she will be his willingly.

The ache in his heart and seeping fear weighed tons, a fear he had for her. The little temptress may become the death of him. His mind was chaotically erratic but he knew he had to do it now, either she liked it or not.

He exhaled, took off his coat threw it on the bed right beside her.

Lei Xinyi stared up at him then the discarded coat with a frown, trying to figure him, she felt the air charge with tension the moment they entered the room. It was like his whole persona switched.

There was something the air was buzzing by awareness of, something she had an unconscious knowledge of. It was like laying a hairbreadth away yet she couldn't point a finger at it.

It was scary because she could tell he was deciphering his thoughts for a pending action that was reeling in his mind and something he was pondering over could be anything but good news.

Lei Xinyi gave him an awkward smile, assessing his features for a clue, ”Li Yuan...”

Li Yuan cut her off in a hard tone, ”Do us both a favor, Lei Xinyi.” Lei Xinyi breath hitched and her eyes widened at his cold tone, ”Stay still.”

Lei Xinyi breath hitched and her eyes widened.

In a swift movement, Li Yuan grabbed her both hands and pinned them above her head, and just as Lei Xinyi was about to struggle Li Yuan climbed on her, restricting any possible movement.

Her breath hitched and the atmosphere turned sharply tense. Her heartbeat rose and her eyes turned sharp.

A seed of discomfort and fear crept in her soil, there was only one possible reason her head could come up with. Was he trying to force...

Lei Xinyi shouted in frustration and annoyance as patience became a secondary concern, ”What the f*ck is wrong with you?!”

He ignored her cries but tightened his legs around her and firmly held her wrists. Lei Xinyi wriggled but she was no competition to a man of his caliber.

He trailed his hand on her body crouched her shirt up revealing a scarlet gleaming Ruby in her belly button surrounded by her porcelain clear pale skin. It blinked as if winking at him to mock him.

He felt a rage brewing storm in his insides but he knew he had to stay calm.

But the thought was a fuming punch in his guts. 'Was she that desperate to die?! Or did she f*cking had self-harming tendencies?!'

Lei Xinyi froze at once but then her eyes hardened and her jaw clenched as her brain recorded his actions, she tried to free her hand to tug her shirt back down but Li Yuan shot her a scathing glare.

He was glaring at her stomach like she was carrying a spawn of the devil, it was no surprise though Lei Xinyi didn't like it one bit. He was glaring at her piercing. He must have heard rumors about the piercing as it was no secret in the underworld.

All in all, he had no right to invade her privacy like that! She had every right to blow herself for all she cared!

”Get off!” Lei Xinyi hissed and seized her struggles yet her body stayed tense.

Li Yuan met her glare head-on and growled, ”If you want to f*cking die this much, I will f*cking strangle you!”
