325 Consequence

The first thing she did was lock or at least try to herself in. The room had a door-lock but the bathroom and wardrobe they share didn't. Or maybe he wasn't even coming tonight because he would think she is a psychopathic s*x crazed horny pervert.

She paced back and forth and bit her lower lip as her mind ran wilder than she did.

She wanted to be an ostrich and bury her face in the sand to get rid of what she has done. How could she just discuss his thing like that?!

Now he was going to assume this is what goes on in her head all the time! What if he thinks that she thought of defiling him all the time and was a pervert?!

This was awkward to the point she didn't know what to do with her body. The embarrassment that crept into her was giving her ideas. The most favorable one being to bolt right out of the Mansion and run for the hills the other one was to hit something hard o his head and hope that by the next morning all his memory will be wiped clean.

But there were loopholes in both conditions and right now she wanted to do anything but face him.

With a huff of finality, she ran to the bed, he was coming or not, as a safety measure she wanted to pretend in case he tried to confront her. 

Thank heaven she had her dinner already or GOD knows how she was going survive a dinner beside him.

While she was having her eyes scrunched and was pretending to be in a dead sleep, she heard the bed dip beside her, with the focus of a sloth she stayed still but she was hyper-aware of the presence beside her.

She felt his arm on her waist and tried her best to not act like she was awake. He gathered her in his arms to hug her tight like he usually did but she was too tense to move even a single muscle when in reality all she wanted to do was push him off her and run out of the room.

Everything about the situation was disturbing, his hand caressing her waist was disturbing, his lips that would leave feather-like kisses on her cheeks from time to time were disturbing!

If he wasn't thinking she was a pervert, he sure as hell was thinking that she was easy!

At some point, it got to be a lot to stay awake and her senses were dulled to a mild sleep before she knew it, she was pass her consciousness.

She could swear she heard him whisper something along the lines of, 'How I wish to prove certain things to you but I can't scare you away, Stupid Raven.'

She woke up before Li Yuan and even before their alarm. He had her in a vice-like grip that wasn't loosening. She could feel his rod in attention on her thigh and tried to play the best dead ever and not freak out.

But as she couldn't fall asleep and his embrace wasn't letting her leave so she thought: The man was solid hard on her thigh causing her to slowly steer away from his lower part.

What she was thinking while doing that yesterday night was even a mystery to herself but she awfully sounded like a pervert. She huffed and scrunched her eyes at the thoughts of the eventful night and wished it was just a fragment of her memory and would fade.

Just as she was planning to act like yesterday never happened so that he would feel like his mind was just making things up the blaring damn alarm rang annoyingly.

As no consolation to her, he woke up and she at once started pretending to be dead. GOD just makes him go away and assume I am dead!

Li Yuan was about to make her awake when he noticed the stiffness in her shoulders and rolled his eyes and let her pretend.

He got off the bed and took his usual unusually long in the shower much to her horror. What he could be doing was playing in her head like a horror movie and she couldn't skip watching even if she tried to.

She was definitely awake though she would want him to assume otherwise.

When he came out of the bathroom, she had buried her face under the covers. He contemplated then decided not to confront her. It was… awkward as it was and what was good for them was to just pretend that it never happened.

Thinking he realized she was far too embarrassed to face him right now and wouldn't want to be confronted and the fact was he didn't know how to act in front of her.

How do you act or what do you say to the woman you love who asks you if your d*ck is working smoothly but in her case, she was trying to accuse him of having er…

At nights when he came back after cooling down, he wanted to make sure she saw how well he works but he didn't want to scare her and she was pretending to be asleep. He played along.

The training with his peers was intense than the other days. He saw her driver jumping around wondering where she was but didn't comment. He hated that the juvenile who looked seriously taken with her, the only reason he wasn't six-feet under was that he was taken with every woman he came across. He was childish but harmless.

To make sure the man knew his displeasures he beat him black and blue in the training. The boy was huffing out-breaths as he lay on the ring floor. He left the ring having blown the steam off.

Behind he heard the young man complain to Ji Zhou and his cousin, "Believe me it smelled like vendetta!" Li Yuan's lips tilted up, he was smart but didn't know when to keep his smartness to himself.

To fresh up, he went into his room and glanced in her room to see she wasn't on the bed which meant she was in the dining room.

Before he entered the dining room he heard the cheerful voices of his brother and Lei Xinyi. His jaw clenched at her nonchalant pleasant laughter, as nothing happened between them at all, and nothing mattered to her at all!

And to add to it all, he heard his brother, "Last time I saw you I could swear you were a nymph and I was dreaming but I must say looking at you right now I realized I haven't seen beautiful then!" In response to his shameless flirting to add fuel to fire, her sweet pearly laughter followed.

And as if it wasn't enough, she sweetly retaliated too, "I must say, you are a charmer. Girls sure must be flocking around you."

"None that has your allure but a man has to keep looking." Li Qiang whimsically teased back.

"And that seems to not be of concern to me or my fiancé. Though we must assume otherwise." Lei Xinyi heard Li Yuan deadpanned tone and stiffened and the easy smile on her face faded, her eyes turned to her lap.

She felt his cold stare on her back as it sent shivers up her spine. She cursed under her breath. Her plan was to have a fast breakfast and then go MIA till he left for his office.

The tapping of his feet grew nearer and with every step her heart grew fainter she was expecting him to have taken his time in the gym. Her eyes flickered to the clock on the wall and it affirmed her belief but he didn't seem to.

He sat on the Head of the Table but she kept her eyes rooted to her plate which was empty as she has had her fill and was just giving company to the Youngman.

"Good Morning, Brother!" Though confused by his aloofness, Li Qiang greeted his brother, only to be ignored.

She felt his piercing glare on her but didn't dare look at him. She didn't know what has itched his temper this time around. Was it because of what she did yesterday or today?

Li Qiang picked the tension between them and his brow at the confident, elegant woman who could even make the robe she was wearing look iconic from minutes ago to the woman who had gone red as a tomato under his brother's fierce glare.

She wasn't even looking up. Why... did she look like she was shy? Then his eyes observed her whole stature and his brothers. She had a day or so old hickeys on her neck which looked like she forgot to cover in hurry and then her reddening face. He had heard she gyms with her brother but today it didn't look like she did...

And she was in a robe and totally deshelled like she just got out of bed!

His eyes then trailed to his brother who was looking at her possessively and his eyes widened in realization.
