316 Matching Tattoos For Hearts (2/2)
She shook her head fiercely and cried out in desperation, ”I will stay loyal! We don't need to do anything really…”
He frowned then rejected the idea, ”That's absurd! We both should get matching tattoos as our official exclamation of love and you can tell me about your past as you promised, there too.”
Love... her as*!
Her mouth was hanging, although it was better than her hanging it still was a bummer. She wasn't really enthusiastic about getting branded like that but she did brand him too… that too with 'Property' It screeched in her head now.
And… her sharing her past with him was just something she had spoken about in impulse to convince him. She was just trying to make a good bargain and blurted that out without thinking.
And looking at him looked like she would have to do that again. With a fake vivacious smile, ”Li Yuan,” She drawled whiningly then huffed, ”Listen, I did say I will tell you everything but can we... can we do it later like some time later... when I am ready. And about the… tattoo I want to make it on our wedding.”
He peeked at the deceiving minx almost below him and took her in a seizing in a passionate kiss instead.
He wanted to really skin the infamous 'Siren' for daring more than her lifespan permitted but that had changed the moment he'd known it was his Raven. The rage and brutality were uprooted.
But he wasn't really planning for her to tattoo his name on her like this. Although that was hot and he wouldn't have stopped her if she had decided to get along with him, he was just messing with her horrid expressions.
About her past… he was in fact in no hurry. He was her present and her future. Her past was insignificant to her just like he wanted her to believe that. She was all that he needed and that's what he wanted from her in return. Other trivial details were just but history.
”I will wait for my Raven all my life.” With a chuckle, he gave her a final peck. He was about to retrieve when he saw her surprised expression which wiped off as it appeared.
She didn't want to believe but he felt so sincere in his confessions. It felt like it was confessing. But she ignored it all, but one thing she was sure of now was that Li Yuan was serious about the marriage and there was no diversion, diversion enough to distract him.
She was about to leave the bed when he pulled her back. ”About that Penthouse you want to sell. Sell it to me.” His words felt more like a command but she refrained from pointing it out.
She shook her head with a scoff. Her main reason for selling the place was sure for the exposure the place had but the other reason was that she needed money without having to sell any of her conquests.
Eating and living off him was bruising her ego enough she didn't want to be a wh*re and spend his money by his card prancing around the whole city. If she was going to sell it to him it would kill the purpose, ”No Thanks. But I don't want any more of your favors.”
He shook his head in exasperation at her stubbornness. It wasn't shielded on him what her intentions were but that only made her more precious in his eyes. It made him want to land the world on her dainty feet all the more.
He pecked her pouting lips and elaborated, ”Sweetheart, I am not doing you any favor,” She gave him an unimpressed look, like she wasn't buying him bluffing at all, ”I heard about the efforts you put into the penthouse and it's too cherished to be sold. I was thinking of buying a place for Li Qiang for his birthday and if it will be your apartment. You can get it back anytime you want and I will be assured that he is safe there.”
She frowned and nodded; now that he said it like that, it made perfect sense. The place was too furnished to be thrown away to some other person but Li Qiang could be a good person to live there without her having to worry it will be ruined.
”Okay,” He smiled at her that instant but she hurriedly added with a stern expression, ”But I will sell it at market price, not one penny less.” He grinned at her reply.
They were about to bolt out of bed when an earth-shaking roar alerted them to rigidness and the door burst open with a deshelled Butler panting. He looked at this Master with guilt and shamefully reported, ”Young Master Li, Madam Venessa... she is demanding your presence.”
