297 Watch That Pretty Mouth Of Yours (1/2)
He cut her off mid-sentence, ”And Lei Xinyi makes me happy and she is safe. She has had a rough childhood and is really sweet once you get to know her. You didn't really leave her the best of impressions. Just try to adjust.”
She wanted to pull her hair out. That girl, that demoness was anything but sweet! He was bewitched and there was no reasoning with him as he was blinded in his love for that witch! But instead of voicing her woes, his mother swallowed the bitter sip that it was and relented.
Right now her son was in the honeymoon phase which will fade and then he will see himself black from blue!
Madam Li wanted to argue about how that girl was anything but safe but nodded feigning understanding, ”I will have the kitchen prepare another set of breakfast for us all. We can bond better there.” She pulled away from him and smiled, whipping her tears to walking to the door.
He smiled and affirmed by nodding, ”And Mom?” She looked back at him quizzically, ”Keep this all between us.”
In precision, he had warned her about keeping his little demoness a secret so whatever new trick they are going to play can be operated unhindered. Her own son was ordering her to keep it under the veil from his grandfather and other elites. Now that there was no heir in the way, they were all bound to be hard on her and his grandfather will issue assassination on her name.
His grandfather had been wanting to establish a marriage with the Italian or Russian Mafia now that the little wench Lu Xinyi was out of the way. Li Yuan didn't know it yet as the candidate wasn't specified and Madam Li kept her mouth locked too.
Madam Li stared at him for a while wanting to say something but then decided against it, and nodded.
He took out his clothes for the day when Lei Xinyi got back from the washroom and without giving him a glance she walked past him. She was as gorgeous as she always was and she looked about ready to head out.
He held her by the arm, and queried harshly, ”Where do you think you are going?”
She met his eye and sneered, as if even his intrusion was pathetic in her eyes, ”You don't get to ask me, just as you don't ask me before making decisions for me! The least courtesy I can return is making decisions for me.”
His hold on her arm tightened but she made no effort of yanking her arm out of his hold. This was her way of not backing out and showing her stubbornness, ”Lei Xinyi, I am making efforts here. Stop being too difficult. I have but limited patience, all that I vent on you on daily basis!” He gritted through his clenched jaw.
She gave a sarcastic laugh and shook her head, ”Li Yuan, I am tired, Okay! This… All of this is not… This is not something I want to do in the coming future that you so desperately want to shove on me…”
Her shoulder dropped and she sighed, ”Li Yuan, come on!” She looked at him with a sarcastic smirk, ”Can't we just face it?! It's not about it! You and I both know I don't want this! This every day, a dressed lie that I will have to live, and a dressed lie I will eventually have to force myself to believe!”
For a few days, it was something a part she could play but indefinitely molding herself to be something she despised was impossible. It was asking too much from her!
This was not her, this was a role for an air-headed bimbo who could stay at home and play happy wife with him with no element of her own! But if she was going to be molded in this society according to its social standard then all she would be was Li Yuan's woman! A snobbish, pretentious woman living off of an overly rich man!
He stared at her and without losing his grip on her asked, ”What do you want?”
It was wrong and she knew with him it will always be this way. But this wasn't how she lived always looking for approval in all other perspectives.
Lying was just a little faux but lying about your child was another level of transgression. He was practically calling the first child from her womb dead just so he can save face and keep his façade in front of a baseless lie he constructed just so he could brand her.
