252 Damned Woman (1/2)
Lei Xinyi took a brief bath to clean the sweat and scent of spices from her skin and then changed into a knee-length turquoise nightgown and wore a robe over it. It was quite suggestive, in fact, all of her nightgowns were but she didn't mind.
It was already half an hour past dinner and there was hardly a need to first change into painstakingly formal clothes and then waste energy on coming and changing to an attire for the night.
She rolled her eyes at the thought of his staff. There was no doubt that his staff was going to think of her as a slut who was seducing their Master in a nightgown when it was clearly the other way around. She hardly bloody cared because she valued her comfort more than people who can be old stories if she was to plot against them.
She would have lashed out at him before for being a pervert but for a matter of fact, she knew that he wasn't the one who chose clothes for her.
Yes, there were some exceptions in dresses, jewelry, and accessories that he had personally handpicked but other than that it was Alex, the designer.
Lei Xinyi hummed, applied a sweet moisture balm on her lips, and let her silky chocolate mane to air-dry on her shoulder.
The maid had told her about the late dinner plans a little while ago and she was more than ready to rock her boat.
She gave one last look at the mirror and couldn't help the smirk that rose on her luscious lips. She wasn't dense, far from it. She knew she was beautiful and took pride in it.
She was a woman with a lewd tongue but that is where her lewdness ended. She adorned attention like a next skin but men's physical attention isn't something she rejoiced in craving.
In her life she hardly and a decent sexual experience but then it was expected as she literally lived in the scourge all her life treading the grey waters. So she wasn't really active in her sex life.
But Li Yuan, she wanted to stun him, send him to a trance, in the spell of her beauty every time his eyes land on her. Oddly enough while other men's eyes roaming on her body disgusted her, she liked him ogling her. Not that she was ever going to confess all the sh*t that goes in her head.…
No matter how nice, men wielding such power as Li Yuan were dangerous, vicious, and formidable, and Li Yuan was no angel too.
He was just keeping his claws from her; she had heard of his reputation and therefore knew not to push his buttons too hard.
She held the thermos containing the salve and decided to see Li Yuan before the dinner; the earliest he can make her sign a contract the faster she will have a guaranteed freedom.
She hadn't seen him all day but she knew he was on the property because if he left he would have informed her and then she also heard the Maids in the kitchen talking something in a hushed tone about the Master needing coffee constantly because of his workload or something.
She got out of her room and surveyed the halls to search for his Study. It was on the second floor as was her room but she wasn't sure which one door led to it.
She went about opening several doors and knocking some of them before barging in when she finally found that it was hard to find and returned to her room.
Just when she was about to turn the knob of her room she heard a noise from inside and stiffened. She kept the salve on the floor then fluidly she took hold of the dagger that was attached to her thigh and opened the door swiftly only for her jaw to drop in shock.
Li Yuan was sitting on her bed as if he owned it, which he did but that wasn't what had her eyes turning to saucer; it was his wet hairs and naked torso. Her throat turned dry looking at his built.
She couldn't stop herself before she froze in motion and her eyes did all the dynamics. Moving from his chiseled, now shaved jaw to his very naked powerful built like he was crafted of cold, hard steel with manly hairs on his chest and if that didn't make her all hot and bothered his 'come hither' bedroom face sure did!
”You took your time arriving.” Her eyes snapped from his deep v line to his eyes at his husky, deep summoning voice.
