238 Biological Mistake

She reached the table and Li Yuan stood up to hold her hand, then smoothly pulled her chair out for her and helped her arrange her napkin in her lap. Lei Xinyi smiled at him then thanked him.

This just proved no matter how much of a savage they were in the bedroom; they were formally decent on the table like they were humoring each other presence. 

Lei Xinyi extended her hand and picked Li Yuan's empty plate from in front of him. His eyebrow rose but he didn't question her. She stood up and started making his plate, mentally calculating the balanced diet.

She was his private doctor so might as well be a nutritionist too, the man was paying her for far more.

Li Yuan saw her making his plate and couldn't help the warmth that stretched in his heart. Unconsciously she was doing everything a wife ought to.

She was going to be shopping for everything for their wardrobe by next month not only that, she was making his plate with a concentration and devotion, his heart swell.

The Little Raven was too oblivious to his trap and was falling hard in it. She was doing everything a wife ought to once she is grown into it, all will be remaining was to give her a title.

Yes, she was quite violent and her temper quite volatile and that is something they had to grow accustomed to. He wasn't planning to reign it instead he planned to encourage it.

'With this cocky attitude and volatile temper, no man was going to be able to bear her but him. He was going to encourage her tantrums so she was prone to be even more spoilt to the point that no man but he could afford her.' He smirked at the thought.

She kept his plate in front of him the poured him apple juice. She made the same plate for herself. 

She sat with a posture of a ballerina and ate with the practiced fluid manners and etiquette of a high-class lady, not hitting the surface of the plate once. Like Li Yuan, everyone in the dining room was gazing at her elegant movement, transfixed but she was unbothered like attention was her next kin.

Not being able to keep his curiosity, he demanded, "They teach you the conduct of higher society in the Lei's Headquarter?"

Lei Xinyi fork stilled mid-air before she rested it on her plate. She was fairly uncomfortable in discussing her past or her lecherous family clan.

Though people assumed she lived her whole life in imprisonment in Lei's clutches but her mother sold her for her freedom when she was eight and the Old Lei sold her a month later to her Master.

She lived a life of an heiress one that had to do home-schooling till she was sixteen. Then the hell broke out and she ran away from her adopted father, he dragged her ass back seven months back in the Mansion but like the brat she is, she refused to stay so he let her loose.

She contemplated for a while then met his eyes, "Yes, they do but opposed to what people believe I never lived in the Lei Clan's Headquarter. I was sold to a rich man who was also my Master. He is cracked but is a…kind of a good man and because he had no other family he treated me as his heiress. So he got many skilled Masters to teach me many things."

Lei Xinyi winced at the end of the sentence. Her Master was f*cked-up inhumanly insane but in the eyes of the society, he is a respected businessman and one of the most successful surgeons in the world. 

The Old Lei traded live criminals to him so he could practice and experiment on them. When Old Lei had found her useless to him, he had sold her too for money and that was the main reason why the Old Lei couldn't control her like he controlled Su Qianwei, Yi Yang, and other heirs lives.

He didn't own her.

In the eyes of the eight-year-old innocent child, her Master had found a disciple who could be his contribution to the world of science. So instead of cutting her open, he had made her his accomplice.

At the tender age of eight, she stayed up late to practice her skills…

Li Yuan pursed his lips, He Zheng too had said that she lived in the Headquarters so it was easy to declare that there was hardly a speck of truth in anything said about her. No one but she knew her secrets.

He gritted his teeth in rage but he knew he had to ask, "Did he… ever hurt you?" Lei Xinyi looked in Li Yuan's rage-filled eyes and burst-out laughing.

"Li Yuan, come on! It's just like your training, the only difference is you were taught how to gauge your prisoner's eyes out, I was taught to put them back in. My Master was like a father to me and he had adopted me and made me his heiress too. So you see he is crazy but he cares about me. He just sometimes likes… messing with me." 

Her explanation rose several questions in his head. If the person was that influential he was bound to have known him and there was no telling how he was going to react to the news. 

"Who is he, Lei Xinyi?"

A silence followed his question and Lei Xinyi smiled stripped and her eyes fell on her plate. Li Yuan knew the man and if he stormed off to the person's door, she didn't even want to imagine the atrocity. She shouldn't have let her tongue slip.

"You don't know him." She busied herself in eating to look busy. Li Yuan dropped the subject too, there was more than one way to find the said person.

They continued their breakfast in silence; a thousand thoughts were swirling in her head. She was in serious cahoots, the f*cked up Lei Old man can't be trusted and he knew her whereabouts.

He was quite probably because he thought he could use her against the Li's but she needed to settle him for once and for all. By her accident he had gone overboard, he needed to be reigned…

"You never told me you speak Italian." Lei Xinyi looked up at her thoughts being interrupted. He was staring at her. It was obvious. He wanted her to open her crest of secrets in front of him.

He was her savior and was beginning to feel more like a confidant and partner in crime. The proposition was simple he opens up for her so she opens up for him.

Sharing the burden of her life wasn't hard but she didn't know what he will do with the knowledge. No matter how harmlessly fluffy he felt against her skin, he was a clever, cunning, and feral wolf, a wolf that ruled.

She pursed her lips in thought gazing at her plate, she couldn't open her trap but she could share common knowledge like what he was talking about.

She looked up at him acting all cool about their tense conversation so she played along, "I never told you anything about me." She shrugged and pointed the palpable observation, "Besides, what makes you say I speak Italian?"

"I know eight languages and it could have been any one of them but you pointed it out to be Italian." Li Yuan had a mischievous glint in his eyes. How he could regulate his mood at this speed was beyond her.

He was talking about when he had whispered 'Una tale Bellezza' and she had understood but had feigned ignorance. So she didn't feign very well after all!

'See clever and cunning!' Even in the throes of passion when he was brick hard on her rear his mind running like a rocket.

Lei Xinyi let out a chuckle and took a sip of her juice, sharing such knowledge was harmless so she could, "I speak five foreign languages, Spanish, Arabic, English because of the numerous countries having it as their national language; it made the legal association and blending in discrete. 

I spent initial years in Japan so I know Japanese as my first language although I was taught Mandarin the same. I learned Italian as an optional choice because of the Italian Cartels correspondence that went on with the clan." 

She took another sip of her juice and saw Li Yuan impassive face giving nothing away but she could literally see wheels turning in his head.

She took another sip to hide her smirk. She had deliberately let the information of her living initial years in Japan slip and now he was going to probably go on a wild goose chase across the planet looking for a businessman who adopted a girl after buying her and kept her in Japan.

Good for her she was registered as her Masters' biological daughter her adopted family thought she was illegitimate and knowing her Masters' reputation everybody believed it.

With this, he was never going to find him and her secrets were safe. She sighed in relief and began eating again engrossed in her own thoughts.

Now that she has given her feral wolf a bone to nibble so he didn't disturb her again. Until later...
