239 Play Times' Over

He was trying to make small conversation but Lei Xinyi didn't want to as she was prone to not let anything slip about her past or something she shouldn't blurt.

He saved her, but honesty wasn't an obligation here. She did like him but she needed time to see if he could be trusted then she will tell him what she deemed fit, or at least not until she absolutely had and had no other choice.

He was an impatient and dangerous man with means, she wouldn't put it past him to go looking for answers and there was no blame she was shedding, even if she was housing a phantom she would go looking for its myth.

After all, it was at the unknown that we are supposed to be wary of at the end of the day… He must wary of her existence too as he should be but he needed her for her medical peerless skills...

Lei Xinyi mentally rolled her eyes, 'Paranoia of crazy rich mafia lord, they just didn't which as* to shove notes in!' She could tell by his physiques that he would be a haggard 75 and still be able to knock her up, she may be only an accessory to him after all, but she wasn't complaining!

She took a huge gulp of water to drain down her sewer thoughts, she smirked in stiff mock and continued eating.

Li Yuan saw her eating elegantly but he didn't miss the stiffness in her posture whenever he brought up anything about her. It was clear she didn't like talking about herself.

That could be arranged. And about this adopted father of hers...opposed to what she believed a man in his region wouldn't be that hard to find and he had an inkling of where to look. The only question was the reason she was hiding him.

He was amazed at her skills and qualities. She could compete with any high-class socialite but she wasn't vain like them.

Too qualified to be vain...a perfect wife for him.

He took another mouthful and chewed to hide his grin, she was just so used to being served and in authority that she didn't even realize that she was commanding his fortress as a Queen.

He hadn't known many things about her but he knew that the more she will keep to herself the more she will be dragging herself in murky waters. She was a lone-man-warrior not relenting to forces but there was so much a woman can take before it will be too much.

And he couldn't protect her from something that he had no inkling to. There was much in the lines that he wasn't reading, she wasn't letting him read.

She was playing, playing with his head. The way she had bared her neck for him to have a good look at her deep cleavage that was visible only from his seat because of her explicit angle and those ample thighs that were under the hem of her dress.

They were eating in silence when once in a while Li Yuan looked at her to make sure she was here, in his house with him on the table, and that she was here to stay.

She would act oblivious but she was seducing him, subtly, slowly, and subsequently. He had just gotten a cold shower and she was giving him another hard-on to tend to. He could feel the tightness in his pants.

The way she behaved with authority as if it was her own house and the right chair beside was aptly hers swell his heart. She wasn't aloof nor was she indifferent. She was hot in authority!

"Quit smoking," His ogling was cut off by her voice. She saw where his eyes lingered and smirked then looks down at her plate and mutters under her breath, "I hate men who smokes."

She was enticing him in her own way of playing. Li Yuan knew she enjoyed attention and authority and the way she orders him around. 

She was confused here, in one moment she would seduce him, be territorial, and in the next, she would want nothing to do with him. She just needed a little push...

Both of them knew he allowed it and like a qualified opportunist, she grabbed at any chance she got to relish in it. His little Raven loved power and wielded it with grace.

Especially her smirk told him she loved the power she had over his body.

Li Yuan arched a brow cockily and took hold of her grown tresses. Velvet soft. "You do? And here I thought you women found it hot." His closeness was undeniably charged. His stare was like molten lava on her.

Her eyes fell on the staff behind who stood there holding their breath and lowering their eyes. She hissed and leaned back in her chair in mortification to create some distance between them.

The man was absolutely brazen and transparent but she cared for the little self-respect and pride that she had left, she was most probably a mistress in their eyes and a slut could be a unwanted promotion!!

She snatched her tress from his hand and coolly shrugged, "Well stuffing your lungs with tar is as hot as lightening your ass with gasoline."

He saw through her actions and didn't push it; after all good thing goes to those who wait, he too leaned back, "How do you know I smoke now?"

Lei Xinyi scoffed and rolled her eyes and snarled for only him to here, "That's not hard to tell when you were halfway through my throat a couple of one and an hour ago."

Although it was faint she knew what she tasted on his tongue, alcohol was a strong coat but there was repulsed faint tobacco taste too. 

Her Master smoked like his bum was on fire and she absolutely abhorred any man who smoked, it brought immediate gag reflexes. Jiang Cheng was one of those chain smokers who smoked as much as they inhaled, so she even hated hugging him whatsoever.

But kissing or living with a man who smokes was a big NO in her book! So she forbade it!

Li Yuan didn't reply just smirked at the little Raven who thought she called the shots. 

It was okay he could quit smoking now that she was here; he only smoked to subdue his frustration.

He was more interested to see where she will lead it.

Lei Xinyi was aware of his compliance and a shiver passed down her spine immediately, he was looking at her as if she was lunch. She gulped and kept her firm posture despite her ringing temple and sweating fist.

She looked straight ahead ordered a maid to bring her a notebook and pen. She knew he was staring at her so she deliberately ate slowly and kept her eyes fixed on the plate.

He smirked and leaned forward to caress her blushing cheeks that she didn't realize were heated, at the contact of his cold finger a shiver ran up her spine.

She had reflexively picked the dress but she sure as hell was trying to tease him but it was like her tables were turned on her and now she wasn't enjoying the game anymore!

"Baby... Does my touch bother you?" His throaty voice made her shudder.
