282 Friends With Benefit Than F*ck Buddies (2/2)
He stayed calmly laid back, but she could tell by his face that darkened and his jaw the clenched, he was anything but, ”Lei Xinyi,”
Clenching her fists she tried to rein her thoughts. It was okay to be with him in a spar of no string relation…She could afford that! But a real relation entailed them being strapped together for life.
For her to come out of the shadows that had been her veil for as long as she can remember and… and it just didn't look like she could survive a relationship with him!
He was demanding, a narcissist, a psychopath on many levels. He will need an heir someday too… She couldn't give him an heir! Any child born out of a Lei had the unique irises that were official to only Lei's so there was no hiding him or her. And any child that had Lei's blood in their veins had to be given to the patriarch…
They will come for the child and then when the Li's would refuse, it would resurrect a dying war! Above the Lei's game already going on, it was baring her neck to another dagger hanging for her execution!
And the most important fact that she was taught to peel skin, not cradle an infant! She was by no means a woman to stay in a Household. Eventually, she would get bored and would want to leave and Li Yuan will oppose the idea…
Then she will have to run and… she will run and eventually go into hiding! All in all, she will be back on square one! What good it will do then, just flare the already scorching nirvana?
On top of all these rubbles, she was already engaged to another man too who is also waiting for her to marry him!
She released a sigh in utter frustration and looked away, ”Li Yuan, what we have is good we don't need to complicate something that is truly ours. Eventually, we will move forward too…”
Li Yuan cut her butter-smooth placidness at once, ”So you are suggesting eventually we will f*ck but you won't marry me?!”
Her head snapped to him as her eyes burnt with devastating disrespect he had dished her but then something clicked and she shrugged, ”If that's how you want to put it. I would rather, you call us friends with benefit than f*ck buddies. But both go by me.”
To her, physical intimacy was just physical but nothing intimate. She was no woman who held her chastity though at that time she wasn't given a choice, period but all of these were trivial details.
He stared at her for a good minute under the golden light straining her already pale reflections. He was trying to decipher the vial of his rage.
Every woman on this planet would gravel to marry him for one reason or another, most women wanted him for his looks, who didn't want him for his looks wanted him for his money, who didn't want him for either wanted him for his charms and here she was propositioning herself to be rather a mistress?!
