255 Consents And Deal Breakers

Li Yuan shook his head still gazing at the ceiling and laughed without humor, "Sweetheart, You think there is anything I should be wary of. Think again." His voice was low but the deepness in his tone made her weak in the knees, "All I require here is your consent but till then you are off-limit to every male and female."

'Female?! 'What the f*ck! She was utterly and perfectly straight!'

First, his possessive aroused her, and then her racing heart rested that he didn't mean to keep her for the show but then doubt lurked in. What if he wanted to use her and then dump her?

Why was the thought hurting when she wasn't intending to stay anyway…

He was confusing her and it was frustrating her. It was like he had drifted all her life off its axis!

It wasn't a request, a suggestion; it was an undeviating, relentless command. For a moment she was too entranced to think otherwise. She just wanted to crawl up to him like a submissive little b*tch!

But when the reality of his weight hung heavy, Lei Xinyi's mouth hung open in disbelief and her eyes widened, "Female? No, don't answer that!" 

God Knew what incest-ful thoughts went on in his messed up twisted mind. She didn't really want to get started. The delicious aroma of food wafted their sense of smell but it was a trivial matter, all other necessities were.

He wanted assurance, she needed security and nothing other could be primary.

Lei Xinyi stopped her urge to throw the dishes at the Adonis sitting in front of her, Instead, she opted to snarl, "You say you require my consent and are binding me like this?! Sure you have a twisted definition for it!"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at the ceiling with a lazy grin provoking her remaining sense of sanity, "Lei Xinyi…are you acting that lame or are you truly this dense?" 

Before Lei Xinyi could hurl any kind of insult at him, in one swift move he snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her in his arm. 

She fell on his chest with a yelp; she placed her hands on his naked chest to lift herself up when Li Yuan tightened his arms around her forcing her to half lay on his ripping, hard, muscled chest.

It was hard for her to focus enough to form a sentence much less not stray from her ideology with this close proximity between them.

She was clearly an experienced adult but he was making her feel all kind of teenager's feelings. She wanted to stop going blushing red tomato but here breathing was a struggle!

Li Yuan caressed her head with a tenderness which caused Lei Xinyi to come out of her trance and glare at him.

He landed a kiss at her temple to which Lei Xinyi tried to break free from his hold but he held her to his chest tight.

It was like he was amused by her struggle and his chest rumbled with his laugh, "Sweetheart, there was nothing as platonic going to be between us ever. You knew it too. You respond to my advances then encourage my passion toward you. It is about time you stop the push and pull game. It's overrated."

Lei Xinyi's struggles seized as her glare intensified with her guilt fueling her rage at being caught. Okay! She did lust after him! But he didn't have to shove that in her face so blatantly! She wanted to outright deny it but the fact that she was making out with him not more than fifteen minutes ago had her tongue tight. 

She wanted to cause damage but laying in his arms with his hand feeling her up, she was as ferocious as a cub. 

His words were bare and cold, hard reality but his purpose was unclear. He wanted her to seize the chase but what then?

He made it obvious he wanted her. But the question of what he wanted her as, was hanging like a knife on her throat. It was a fact that she couldn't be his everyday usual fiancée; He was officially engaged to a woman who was not her and with her reputation and her past deeds, there was no way she could be announced to his family.

"…So now what I am, your personal b*tch?"

Li Yuan grinned and pulled her on his lap kissing her hand, "No Sweetheart, we can't be that cliché you are my wh*re." He winked as his eyes danced with mischief at her glare, "And I am your boy toy."

She pulled away and he let her, in all aspects like it was a retailing relationship he wanted to pass his time with. Lei Xinyi narrowed her eyes and inspected his features for any kind of giveaway to know what was going through his head but all she saw was his cocky grin and calmer than possible demeanor.

It was like one moment his actions told you, you are his world and the other felt like you are the prime nuisance in the world. 

It was a tough decision to bind herself with, if she was agreeing to have a relationship with Li Yuan, it will be making herself vulnerable to him. She will not be able to leave when she feels like it and if this doesn't work out how she was going to survive after making an enemy out of him? Not to mention when her real fiance will show up!

Lei Xinyi met his eye and stood up. She walked to the bed and took hold of the document. She picked a pen from the vanity table and returned to Li Yuan.

She placed the file on her lap and patted it, "I will only sign it when you give me another contract and your word that states that if this relationship doesn't work out or anything from my past come up between us and we have to split, no harm will come to me when I decided to break free." 

Li Yuan couldn't help the smirk that took over his features; finally, his Raven was seeing things from his perspective.

Once they were in a relationship he will make sure there is nothing that she will ever need so there was no break up in the package, she was attracted to him, his ego that was sized like Russia didn't mind bending for his Raven so there was hardly anything that could go wrong.

Among them, he would cherish her like no other to ensure her love for him. He could very well force a marriage on her but then he will be trapping himself and his Raven in a loveless marriage where she will hate his mere presence and he will loath her reluctance to him.

He wanted her to come to him willingly, to be as passionate about him as he was about her. He wanted a relationship with her that he could drag until they were both gray and old.

Seeing no protest or jab from she continued. She sternly met his eyes and demanded with all her feminism that was in her, full swing, "It will be like a normal relationship where we both will be equal with rights to voice opinions. You will not pressure me nor will you treat any less than I deserve to be treated. Hence by tomorrow, you will leave everything that is behind us in the past! In return for giving our relationship a fair chance, you will be 'sorting' my reputation so I can finally walk freely in the daylight. Deal?"

"Anything, sweetheart"

Lei Xinyi bit her lower lip in thought and his eye fell on her lip, he brought his thumb and pulled on her chin to release it, he was about to lean forward for a kiss when Lei Xinyi pulled back.

She sat straight and served the dishes in two sets of culinary, "Sounds like a deal-breaker." 

She handed his plate to him and took his wine glass from him. She kept his half drank wine glass on the other side of the table so he can't reach it. 

She picked two plain glasses and poured water in them, she kept it in front of him. The smile on his face was involuntary at her care, which she was doing so subconsciously, that even her movements were natural. He remembered when it used to be him who used to pile her plate and now she serves him.

She ran her chopstick on the bowl and turned to him as if remembering something, "And it doesn't mean you get to meddle in all my businesses or that I agree to anything more than an engagement of convenience which means I am not falling in bed with you either."

Li Yuan grinned in pure happiness that even radiated from his eyes, he pecked her cheek and whispered in her ear as if it was a secret between them, "I am all in for a good wooing."
