237 A b*tch That Bites (1/2)

She went closer to the mannequin adorning striking cerulean gown and found something off…when she was face to face with it she frowned taking in all the details and her eyes widened in disbelief.

The mannequins in the wardrobe were of the same height, ass and breast size as her, main purpose of them being that she didn't need to try all the dresses to see how they looked on her because as the mannequin were her replication.

Thoughtful but embarrassing! She felt her cheeks tinting. ”Now was this really necessary!” she muttered.

It was like she had walked in a clothing store but she knew all these were handpicked by Alex, her assigned designer. Just as her cosmetics and these mannequins.

And without a speck of doubt this must have cost Li Yuan Millions and one look around she could tell all her dresses from the old villa were replaced by new ones. She rubbed her head at the brand new headache.

”Any thing that caught your eye, Sweetheart.” Lei Xinyi jumped at the sudden voice only to see Li Yuan standing behind looking pleased with himself.

She rolled her eyes and decided to confront the elephant head on, ”This all…You bought them this season?”

Li Yuan smirked in pride, ”Sweetheart, all of these are leading international custom-made exclusive designs of your favorite brands. Why would I let you wear something seasonal that any other woman can buy? Your wardrobe is updated every month.”

There were about more or less eighty dresses on display not to mention the one in the drawers. For f*ck sake, you don't even have this many days in a month!

Lei Xinyi ran a hand over her face and muttered under her breath, ”No wonder his Mother and Grandmother wants to claw my eyes out and his staff treats me like I am some serpent that is noshing on their Boss's meat!”

Li Yuan frowned looking at her expression, he was expecting her to jump from glee and maybe give him another make-out session as reward but this wasn't something he was pleased with. Was it that she didn't like them?

”You don't like it? We can always change it, I can call for your designer or… we can change your designer too.”

Lei Xinyi turned to him and glared at him with the intensity that would probably drill holes if she persisted. Was he purposely trying to get her killed?! Didn't he know how vengeful his Mother and Grandmother are, they would eat her flesh raw if they get an air of the money he was spending on her!

No matter how she tried to stay out of trouble, it followed her like toilet paper caught up on wet shoes!

She shook her head and took a calming breath then held him by his hand and tugged him to the shoe testing lounge, they sat on the soft seats.

Lei Xinyi pursed her lips, ”What is the meaning of this?! Do I look like I am your Mistress?”

”…Oh?” He raised a brow questioningly. Since when had he treated her as such?!

Now in what world did they treat Mistresses like that?! He was f*cking treating her like his Queen!

Looking at his suppressed temper Lei Xinyi demanded hurriedly, ”Where all those untouched 'outdated' dresses, shoes, accessories go when you decided to 'update' this wardrobe?”

Li Yuan narrowed his eye at her, ”Charity.”

He ran many charity programs in the country and her wardrobe had made dowry for many lower-class maidens and many things were auctioned off to benefit orphanages and old houses. They were all exclusive one-pieces in the world by leading designers from across the world so the charities really benefitted from all that.

There was no way he would ever throw or sell a thing he brought for his Raven. There was no price for a thing that was hers and how can a priceless gem, be thrown.

Lei Xinyi pursed her lips at a loss of words to helplessness. She shook her head to clear her head and pointed her forefinger at him, ”Listen, somethings are about to change here! You want to be Robbinhood? Be so on your own accord but don't drag my name in the mire! You don't get me a thing, I am not handicapped nor am I dirt-poor!”

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at her meaningless outburst, women would sell their organs just to get even one of these dresses. They were going to be married anyway so it was only sensible that he takes his duties seriously now to show his sincerity.

When she was living in his roof, how could he let her have anything less than the finest, rarest, and most pricey?

”What's up with you and being difficult about every damn thing?! Sweetheart, it's part of the deal; you take care of me and I take care of you.”
