225 A Potential Lei

Lei Xinyi at once shrieked and tried to shut the door when Li Yuan trapped his foot in the door and forced the door open. 

Lei Xinyi looked at him in horror like she had seen a ghost, she schooled her features and gave him an awkward smile, "Gen...Gentleman, what can I do for you? I think you have the wrong house or maybe the wrong person...The owner of the house isn't here too so..."

He stood there but didn't reach her as if he touched her, she was going to fade into another bittersweet dream that would kill his hope.

Not a word of what she said registered, all he could see was her face that he had dreamt and thought of for the last three months.

Lei Xinyi looked at her supporting stand that had fallen on the floor and vase by the wall, Li Yuan was standing about three steps away from her and her escaping chances were 0.00000001 and that one was in hope that a miracle happens and she is teleported to another world.

Lei Xinyi reached out for the stick but before she could even bend Li Yuan trapped her hard in a hug. Lei Xinyin was shocked at the familiarity of the hug more than the suddenness of the hug. His hug hardened as if to make sure she was real.

"I missed you." Li Yuan whispered in her ear. She felt his longing in his words before she could even comprehend his words, she replied to him.

"I missed you too." Lei Xinyi was shocked at her words but then the volume of their words shared hit her and she pushed him away. Her push wasn't hard but Li Yuan let her create distance between them.

Li Yuan racked her body with his eyes for any injuries while Lei Xinyi racked his for signs of marriage. When she found none she felt satisfied and half her rage vaporized.

So he didn't pick a random woman and marry like in the movies...

Li Yuan looked at her foot, turned to her and asked her sternly in suppressed anger, "What did you do to your foot?"

Lei Xinyi temper flared like fire on fuel and she pushed harder on his chest, "Well, I was curious how broken bones would look in summer!" She snorted sarcastically then narrowed her cat-like eyes.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Her question was well marking her fear in the veil of her sternness. He was a man she had done fraud, he couldn't be here for sharing pleasantries of course!

Li Yuan face hardened at once, he held her by the arm in a firm yet gentle hold and hissed, "I remember there was a pending wedding that you promised me."

Lei Xinyi eyes widened before she chuckled smugly and patted his cheek in mock pity, "Tsk...Tsk...But I am not your fiance, Lu Xinyi. She eloped with her lover! I am just her look alike!"

Lei Xinyi assessed his face for a reaction or astonishment, shock anything but there was a knowing look on his face as he nodded, "Good, that she doesn't owe me a wedding then. You do."

He knew?!

Lei Xinyi was surprised but quickly recovered and shook her head with a sarcastic smile, "And you think I do? I don't by any means! I am not offered to you by a contract on a silver platter, my father isn't the one you had exchanges with you and most importantly I am not even your fiance that you are still in relation with!"

Li Yuan hold on her tightened and he hissed, "But she isn't the one who took me to the Altar only to disappear a week before marriage!"

Lei Xinyi dug her sharp self-manicured nails in the wrist of his hand clutching hers and spat, "I didn't too, all I did was nod and smile. You were the one who-so-gracefully took upon you to decide whatever the f*ck you think was best!"

Li Yaun didn't even wince by her petty attack but loosened his hold on her arm.

"Was this what it was all about? Is that why you ran away?" Li Yuan eyes softened with emotions that looked like...guilt. Oh! She was sure imaging it.

He held her hand tenderly and softly spoke, "I can change all that, we can start anew..."

Lei Xinyi eyes widened. What start anew?! 

She snatched her hand from his and pushed him away hard, "What the f*ck?! I am not up for this sh*t!"

Li Yuan felt his temper flaring. Was she calling a relation with him sh*t?!

Lei Xinyi at once caught his ablaze eyes and froze, she gave him a sheepish smile. Did she just poke the bear?!

"No! No! I didn't mean it like that, let me rephrase it." She hurriedly shouted.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes but listened.

Lei Xinyi took a deep breath, shook her head and held out her hand, "It's not that." She took a deep breath to get a hold of herself, "Listen., there is much more but... just give me a second." 

Li Yuan held her arm still not ready to lose contact with her yet. Lei Xinyi saw the uncertainty in his eyes and huffed.

"You have your man surrounding the area. Don't you? How do you think I will escape with an injured foot?! I am not Superman, Geez!" Li Yuan was still unconvinced but let her go.

Lei Xinyi went into her room and took out the phone that was given to her. She dialled the only number available in there. The call connected on the first ring like the person was expecting her call.

Before the person could say anything Lei Xinyi shouted, "You said the place was untraceable and impenetrable!"

"I said. Didn't I?" The old man snorted, "It would have been if your Sugar Daddy wasn't the King of Underworld!"

Lei Xinyi was fuming at the Old Bastard and frantically looked around in the room, "You f*cking said you would keep me protected here till I recover!"

"And you have recovered, besides he has an army outside. Getting all my men killed wouldn't be enough to get you out of his hold. You are on your own, f*ck him, kill him or better yet, kill him while f*cking him, you have experience for that too." After the sarcastic taunt, the line went dead.

Lei Xinyi tried again but the phone was switched off. She huffed 

This time she had thought when she gets out of here she would live a crime-less low-key life but now karma the *tch decided to catch up to her!

This time she wanted to be free but this was an expensive cage waiting outside and most importantly she had no idea what his intentions were.

But she had a hunch, she wasn't liking whatever they were, after all, she had made a fool out of a man not long ago.
