316 Matching Tattoos For Hearts (1/2)

The bounties... Her grandfather's subtle warnings... Su Qianwei surety of him not falling for her... and Li Yaun morality!

Was this his way of bringing her in some pre-planned trap but... that wouldn't make sense! Why would he need to go this far just to chop her into pieces?

When Su Qianwei had threatened her with his obsession with her she had assumed it was because of her medical expertise that he wanted her to be on his side. He was the Underworld Lord and it would make sense but never had she ever imagined her insolence will come to bite her in the a*s!

He was looking for her to skin her alive! It was better if she had been run over by a bus instead of being trapped in here with his unpredictable self!

He still had his back to her and she felt like the soft mattress beneath her was stabbing thorns in her. And what was astounding was that instead of her initial LX as in Lei Xinyi, she had written YL as in Yin Lin: Which was the reverse of his initials LY.

So was he keeping her in a clutch to extract revenge on her to have marked his body without his permission, that too with her name when he was taking his supposedly last breaths!

Her blood ran cold and she slid a little backward on the bed; The lack of words fueled the awkwardness and poached fear in her. Her heart was drumming in her ear and she was all but about ready to bolt out of the place if only that is what will keep her alive.

Despite all his humbleness with her, she had known all along the man was a conceited, brutal jerk with his ego above his rationality and the fact scared her for her dear life.

Gulping hard, she broke down in sweat. She carefully muttered her suggestion, ”Tattoos aren't that permanent, they can be removed…”

Turning to her sharply he made her recoil; His blank stare hollowed her heart of the courage she had conjured.

He drew closer to her and she flinched back in fear of his volatile behavior. He ended the distance between them so now he was an inch away from her lips and murmured placidly, ”Why would I want to remove it?”

Her mouth opened and closed but she had nothing to say. Why would he not want to remove it? Of course, if she was branded with someone's name like that she would be furious too and would get rid of it!

Why hadn't he removed it yet was a wonder on its own. He wasn't really proud of it as he wasn't really exhibiting it so why not just…remove it. She wanted to whip her as*now for her horrendous idea of reminiscing past. If she had known earlier she would run for the hill the moment she saw his shadow!

He held her by the nape stilling her as fear stroked darker in her orbs and gasped, trying to make the necessary distance but his other hand on her waist restricted her.

He observed the emerging fear in the depth of her eyes with a frown. She licked her lower lip and leaned a little more backward, as much that a little more would send her on her back and him on top of her.

Inhaling her scent he smirked at her, ”Initially, I wanted to skin you alive for your audacity but…” Her breathing labored as his words or closeness accelerated her senses.

His smirk widened as his hands caressed her and he stared at her luscious lips, ”You are going to be my wife and I can't have you ruining this pretty face.” Her eyes widen before they spark.

”Ye…Yes!” She confirmed crookedly. There was no way she wouldn't take advantage of this spare bullet in her roulette. Bringing her shaking hand to his face she sternly spoke or rather tried to, ”I…I am going to be your wife anyway and this will keep the annoying bees off our…ma…marriage.”

He hummed and nodded as if what she said made complete sense then turned to her with a quizzical frown and rhetorically asked, ”So what is going to keep the annoying bees off your back?” her color drained as what he was saying started making visible dead end ahead.

He was tricking her! Giving her a sense of control when she would always just play right back in his hand!
