266 EDITING!! PLEASE WAIT!!! (1/2)

Her heart ached at the thought but the world was horribly deemed like that. It can be for superficial or worldly reasons or simply because feelings fade, interests stray but in a long run people leave you.

It churned her inside to anticipate the same outcome with him none the less harsh truths are shoved in your face like that…

She was afraid more than she could return back. It didn't long for people to have a change of heart and then he would be there to ask her t o pay her debts with interest!

It was so frustrating that she wanted to cry out loud. It was like one way she was drowning and the other way she was getting run over by a car. She could trust him and lay her life in his hand and wait for him to throw her to the curb or she could land in front of a running train by getting out of here without his backing.

It was a death sentence anyway so why not choose the one where she has a survival chance?

Her eyes closed as it was almost hard to steel her resolves before she took the phone from his hand and moved out of the corridor.

She brought the phone to her ear, ”What is it?” Her voice placid and tone abrasive.

”'What is it, sweetheart?' That's what I wanted to ask you too.” His voice deep, magnetic yet calm and threatening.

His tone made her want to wage her tail on his whims. He was just so filled with authority that it was hard to relent. Her lips pouted and she wanted whine but held herself back, her hormones were playing with her or maybe she had hit her head hard on the headboard this morning.

”I don't want it! I don't want anything from you! I don't need anything from anyone!” In her frustration she sounded like a brat but she didn't care. It was good to go as long as it got the job done.

There was silence on the other line; Lei Xinyi felt hesitation seep through the cracks of her insecurities.

What was he going to do now? Was he going to hung up on her then extract his temper anywhere else? Was this generosity and fondness just a ruse to get her under his control so he could use her as a puppet against the Lei and her father's family?

Her mind was running wild so was her eyes. Searching, observing and analyzing for escapes and exits, all of it happening subconsciously. She was about to hung and make a dash for it when he replied.

”Why?” She would lie if she said she wasn't intimidated. She was every bit intimidated. He just had this superior, dominant aura about that forced you to bow to his commands.

Because she wasn't ready to fill her plate to the point where she will not be able to digest it all! Because when he trusted people they position her in places like Yi Yang left her, where he knew she could be dead! Because they not only broke her trust but they scar her soul! Because she didn't want him to be one of them!

At last she bit her lip and replied with nonchalant, ”I was going to activate my old cards or may be draw money out from my international accounts. So there was no point in borrowing money from you.”

'THUD!'

There was sound of things breaking and shattering, most likely he flipped his table; she physically flinched as her hands crumbled. Her natural instinct telling her to hung up and run again but she suppressed the urge. This time she wasn't going to run and leave another trail for another wolf to follow her.

She closed her eyes hearing his heavy breaths and took a shaky breath, ”L…Li Yuan…”

”Oh? So you would rather expose yourself by using your old accounts that can be traced and are monitored then take help from me! You think, I don't get it? You are trying to have less ties to me so when you wish to leave you have less rigging to rip. I have to say you are smart.”

She heard his heavy breathing, then sound of glass shattering, fo what felt like years she heard his calm yet menacing voice as ocean, ”The second you are in my arms, you are mine and when the breeze touches your skin, you are something foreign! All wile and tricks! Are you using me to dump me later?”

Her lips pursed and a tear escaped her treacherous eyes. She wanted to yell at him too! She was frustrated and enraged. Did she have any control left on her excuse of life.

'This…this son of a Romeo didn't understand, love, sentiments, relationships weren't just in her cards. And id she could even cheat fate at some point, it wasn't in her priorities right now!

”Li Yuan, I don't need money. I don't want things that will be hard to give you once …”

”You are too blunt, Lei Xinyi. It's not about money, resources, luxuries, it never was. It's about having each other backs. Didn't you just promise to me your every beat of your pumping heart, every inch of blazing femininity of your body and every breath from here on.”

Lei Xinyi eyes widened and her jaw dropped, ”Wh…What? Wh…When? You!” She continued stammering in a complex compound of rage and flabbergasts confusion.
