Chapter 213 - To Disinfect

Lin Xiaofei didn't give him a response as she continued to stare at him. His beautiful face was indeed blinding. The look in his eyes was dangerous as it flashed in the semi-dimmed room. She felt that arm that clung around her waist tighten and she let out a soft gasp when his hand pinched her side.

"Qu Xing Xu…" She called his name in warning. She tried to struggle free from his grasp but he was holding her too tightly for her to escape.

"You call my name so sweetly, it drives me crazy." Qu Xing Xu whispered right next to her ear, "If I didn't know you before this, I would've thought that you're trying to seduce me."

Lin Xiaofei felt embarrassed at how this man could take advantage of her at every turn he could get. She struggled from him but Qu Xing Xu wouldn't let release her.

"Since when did you return?" asked Lin Xiaofei as she tried to divert the topic away from their current position. She was afraid that he would do something scandalous enough for the town to talk about for a year. "Have you finished your matters?"

Qu Xing Xu hummed his response. His hand was teasingly playing on the jade tassle hanging on her waist. He didn't elaborate what he was doing thing during the time he was gone and Lin Xiaofei also didn't want to know about it. "I arrived an hour ago but had something to do before I came here. Unfortunately, you weren't here when I entered your room." He expressed his disappointment for not seeing immediately after he arrived in the capital.

"By the way, I heard some dogs barking in your grandfather's courtyard? Have you already ordered someone to chase it away?"

"Already chased it away." Lin Xiaofei nonchalantly threw these words and seeing that he was slightly distracted, she pulled his arm off her waist and abruptly sat down in fear he would pull her to lie beside him again.

But before she could sigh in relief she felt the man beside her shifting and just when she was about to turn her head to look ag him, she felt him hugging her from behind. Both his hands were in front of her waist with his fingers interlocking with each other. Surely, this was enough answer to her question whether she could get away from him.

"Let go." She patiently said. Qu Xing Xu turned deaf at her order and put his chin on top of her shoulder, his breath hitting the crook of her neck and sent shivers under her skin.

"I don't want to. It's been awhile since we've seen each other and I might die if I let go of you now." His lips brushed against the back of her ear as he spoke.

Lin Xiaofei closed her eyes, trying to find an excuse and distance herself from him before the images of her dreams resurfaced and cloud her reasons.

Ever since she had those kind of dreams, time to time, she would unintentionally imagine what would happen if he returns. Would the things she dreamt of come true? And would she turn away from his advance when he does?

Even in her previous life, Lin Xiaofei didn't get to be in an intimate relationship with anyone. The things that happened between her and Yu Fangzhu was only for the sake of their marriage and it wad a one-sided relationship.

She was the only one who was deeply engaged in what she believed was there between them. She turned a blind eye of the signs Yu Fangzhu showed that he was being forced to show her any kind of feelings just to achieve what he wanted by using her and her feelings for him.

Now that she remembered, she couldn't even count with a hand how many times were they intimate with each other. And even in those times, she never felt the said pleasure and joy that every other happy married women would talk about.

Seeing her being lost in her thoughts, Qu Xing Xu held her chin and pulled it to the side. Their faces were an inch close to each other and if one of them were to lean forward, their lips would touch.

"Thinking about something else when I am here. Lin Xiaofei, do you really believe that I won't do something to make you only think about me every day?" Qu Xing Xu's voice turned deeper and an intense sourness was hiding deep within.

What could possibly keep her thoughts away when he was so close to her? When he had his arms around her? Qu Xing Xu angrily thought.

Lin Xiaofei stared wide-eyed at his words. She finally recollect herself after remembering those bitter times. She knew it was unfair for Qu Xing Xu for her to think of some other man even if that man came from her previous life. But she still ended up thinking about it unintentionally because of how jealous she was of what she had in this life.

The intimacy that she was deprived of, those doting eyes that she will never attain to witness, and the feeling of being loved unconditionally by someone. These were the things that she will never get to experience in her previous life.

She was too stupid despite being a scheming evil woman. Thankfully, God gave her a chance to live once again. Whether it given to her for her to exact her revenge or for her to experience the things that she was deprived of in her previous life, Lin Xiaofei didn't have to hesitate to take this chance to do both.

"I was only thinking about my grandfather. Nothing else." Lin Xiaofei told him. Her eyes looked up to meet his eyes.

Qu Xing Xu naturally didn't buy her words but he wasn't going to waste this opportunity.

He narrowed his eyes at her and he smiled at her, "I hate it when people lie to me. Lies to me are disgustingly filthy."

Lin Xiaofei's heart leaped from her chest. She thought that he was angry at her for lying and hearing the dangerous tone in his voice, it seems that he was offended because she lied to him.

"I-"

Just when she tried to say something, Qu Xing Xu stopped her with a finger, lightly tapping her soft pink lips.

"My dearest sweet girl, I think I need to disinfect your mouth thoroughly so you won't speak of lies in front of me again." She heard him say as his hot breath hit her cheeks and her eyelashes trembled.

His eyes were flashing in mischief and before she could realize that she pulled the lion's tail, her lips were sealed with a passionate and hungry kiss.
