297 Watch That Pretty Mouth Of Yours (2/2)

This wasn't the first pretense and it wasn't going to be the last, but this will be the last she will be a part of…

She sighed before looking away, ”I want you to stop trying to fit me in statures and standards. If I am going into this with you, you bear with my sh*t. I can't change what I am for society and I am not going to live two different lives yet again. It's me as I am or we will keep it all platonic.”

She bit her lower lip and met his eyes, ”I don't want anyone slandering my name. I have never and nor I will ever let a person go who will come to pick a fight with me!”

Staring at her he fell silent and pulled her in, kissing her forehead, she tried to mildly push away when he kissed her cheeks, ”There is a late-night bio-chemical arsenal shipment, that rerouted a month ago, arriving today.

Don't forget dinner, wear something warm after sunset, and don't walk on the cold floor without sleepers.”

She scrunched her eyes and grazed his chin lightly where the stubble had grown. With an irritated sigh, she nodded for his satisfaction.

She pulled away and finding his embrace all too suffocating. The constant thought of putting her life into a whirlpool she will have no way of escaping from was a fear.

After all this with Li Yuan, she will be in the public eye and all her alias will be exposed. Then she will be in constant surveillance. She will always be a highlight and there will be no blending in plain sight. Her fears were itching her to escape and run away again but she knew it as it was tempting, it was useless.

But her heart was uneasy, he was a man of flesh and she had learned to never take into account the words of a besotted man. Who knows if tomorrow he will find another feisty challenge to leave her. She will have no life to return back to and without his protection, she will be killed on sight!

She will be risking every egg in her basket along with all her life!

She called him out, ”Li Yuan, It's just that…” She licked her lip and shook her head not believing she was really going to do that, ”It just wasn't right for her to morn a child that wasn't even there. It was unfair and immoral...

You would leave the mother in her instinctively hollow. And then not to mention your mother would have that memorial, death anniversary, and sh*t which is not alright for me especially when she will be mourning my…like it's not okay!”

He looked away then nodded wanting to end the discussion, ”I wasn't going to say a thing about it but I guess we are cool if have established that too.” He cupped her face. Lei Xinyi tried to pull away from him but he held her face scrutinizing her.

She kept her face void of emotions and averted her eyes. She never did that. He exhaled in resignation and kissed her forehead.

”Don't goad my mother nor encourage any ill will she has against you.” He whispered.

Lei Xinyi's eyes snapped to his in accusation, ”Your hag of a mother,” Sneering she pulled her away from his hold ”don't need me to be even present to start a trifle with me!”

He clenched his fist to hold in the rage boiling in her these words and forced a lack of reaction. He snatched her jaw and pulled her in a bruising kiss. Her hands were fisted on his chest, about ready to strike him.

He held her by the waist and pulled away enough to hiss against her lips, ”Watch that pretty mouth of yours, Sweetheart.”
