239 Play Times Over (1/2)

He was trying to make small conversation but Lei Xinyi didn't want to as she was prone to not let anything slip about her past or something she shouldn't blurt.

He saved her, but honesty wasn't an obligation here. She did like him but she needed time to see if he could be trusted then she will tell him what she deemed fit, or at least not until she absolutely had and had no other choice.

He was an impatient and dangerous man with means, she wouldn't put it past him to go looking for answers and there was no blame she was shedding, even if she was housing a phantom she would go looking for its myth.

After all, it was at the unknown that we are supposed to be wary of at the end of the day… He must wary of her existence too as he should be but he needed her for her medical peerless skills...

Lei Xinyi mentally rolled her eyes, 'Paranoia of crazy rich mafia lord, they just didn't which as* to shove notes in!' She could tell by his physiques that he would be a haggard 75 and still be able to knock her up, she may be only an accessory to him after all, but she wasn't complaining!

She took a huge gulp of water to drain down her sewer thoughts, she smirked in stiff mock and continued eating.

Li Yuan saw her eating elegantly but he didn't miss the stiffness in her posture whenever he brought up anything about her. It was clear she didn't like talking about herself.

That could be arranged. And about this adopted father of hers...opposed to what she believed a man in his region wouldn't be that hard to find and he had an inkling of where to look. The only question was the reason she was hiding him.

He was amazed at her skills and qualities. She could compete with any high-class socialite but she wasn't vain like them.

Too qualified to be vain...a perfect wife for him.

He took another mouthful and chewed to hide his grin, she was just so used to being served and in authority that she didn't even realize that she was commanding his fortress as a Queen.

He hadn't known many things about her but he knew that the more she will keep to herself the more she will be dragging herself in murky waters. She was a lone-man-warrior not relenting to forces but there was so much a woman can take before it will be too much.

And he couldn't protect her from something that he had no inkling to. There was much in the lines that he wasn't reading, she wasn't letting him read.

She was playing, playing with his head. The way she had bared her neck for him to have a good look at her deep cleavage that was visible only from his seat because of her explicit angle and those ample thighs that were under the hem of her dress.

They were eating in silence when once in a while Li Yuan looked at her to make sure she was here, in his house with him on the table, and that she was here to stay.

The way she behaved with authority as if it was her own house and the right chair beside was aptly hers swell his heart. She wasn't aloof nor was she indifferent. She was hot in authority!

”Quit smoking,” His ogling was cut off by her voice. She saw where his eyes lingered and smirked then looks down at her plate and mutters under her breath, ”I hate men who smokes.”

She was enticing him in her own way of playing. Li Yuan knew she enjoyed attention and authority and the way she orders him around.

She was confused here, in one moment she would seduce him, be territorial, and in the next, she would want nothing to do with him. She just needed a little push...
