240 Predictable Moves (1/2)

”Baby, does my touch bother you?” Lei Xinyi felt his breath fan her bare neck and bit her lip to stop further shuddering.

He was the same but there was something edgy to him, like something maddening, tempting. Too intense...with his motion and stare.

She knew she was treading on dangerous waters but this was like she was drowning in awareness. Her body was heating and his presence was doing wicked things to her fragile famine heart.

Steeling her womanhood, she looked up, glared right in his eyes. He wanted a war she would f*king give him one! She smiled sweetly and bit out, ”No Honey, I hardly notice you around!”

Everyone who heard her in the dining hall talking to their fierce Boss like that felt shocked to the core. The girl was either a bold fool or simply out of luck to have her tongue slipped in front of their Master.

Not a second later their shock amplified when they heard a foreign sound of Li Yuan's laughter. They hadn't heard his carefree laughter in a long time but then again they had never seen their Boss in a brawl with a woman in Bedroom too.

Lei Xinyi bristled at the mock, scoffed and prepared to leap out, but just when she was about ready to bolt out of embarrassment, the maid finally returned with the pen and notebook.

Lei Xinyi hurriedly leaped to grab it and started scribbling something in apprehension all the while ignoring his stare ringing on her skin. He was claiming his dominance on her body and he wasn't even doing anything to do so. It was something so primal that she wanted to rebuke to all his magnitude.

She mumbled in a busy, tone her pen not stopping for once, ”I will need your medical history and your close relatives too. Arrange these things; I will have to give you a full body checkup. Then I will have to monitor your heart rate, sugar level, and blood pressure till a week, empty stomach, after breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

She passed the list to Li Yuan. Her writing was hardly decipherable but then again people didn't know her for Penmanship. He saw the page filled with names of medical machinery and some chemical names he didn't understand.

”We have to run some laboratory tests too then I will make you a healthy diet plan,” She mumbled in her mouth about ready to leave, ”And yes, limit your alcohol consumption, practice abstinence. You are a few weeks away from being an alcoholic.”

He passed the list to his Butler and faced her again. She had gotten free not a whole 24 hours and was standing to run from the room in hurry away from him.

She hadn't taken even two steps when the door to the dining hall was opened and a running guard rushed in almost out of breath.

”Young Master Li,” His eyes flicker to Lei Xinyi momentarily in apprehension, ”We…we have a situation.”

Lei Xinyi's ears perked like Li Yuan's, like the predator they were their eyes met and then turned to the intruder.

All her previous contemplation and shyness evaporated in the air and her sass returned ten-fold.

”What is it?” Li Yuan reached her and pulled her close to him by draping his arm around her waist. She turned to him to give him a dirty look and scoffed before training her eyes on the matter at hand.

The man looked between Lei Xinyi and his Boss in conflict and Li Yuan knew in the instant that he wasn't liking whatever the man wanted to say in front of Lei Xinyi.

He looked at Lei Xinyi and understood his man hesitation but he wasn't the only one who caught on it, Lei Xinyi too did. The way she was glaring at him was enough to testify for the nirvana brewing in her but what should he do to…

”So when will the stage be set?” Growing impatient Lei Xinyi snapped.

”What?” Both the men head turned to her in confusion only to see her roll her eyes sassily.

Lei Xinyi humorlessly chuckled and rolled her eyes, ”Come on, and arrange a stage and arena so the great highness could grace us by announcing whatever he had come in barging in like a headless chicken for!”

The sarcasm wasn't missed by any soul in the room. She kept tapping her foot impatiently, all the while glaring at Li Yuan, a clear indication of what she was anticipating.

There was a mocking gleam in her eyes taunting him of calling them a team when he was keeping things from her. He contemplated for a while then probed his chin in the air to indicate for the man to continue.
