Chapter 52 - Torture Room

"You're seriously… considering it?" He asked, looking so bewildered. He was not serious about it of course. She was crazy. What's more ridiculous was he felt a tinge of guilt inside him. He felt like he just tricked a kid. An innocent child who still has a bright future ahead of her.

He slightly shook his head as he commented, "I can't believe you're willing to be with someone you don't know that much."

"We can still do that even after we get married," she said so easily without giving much thought about it.

"What if I'm a dangerous man?"

"That's fine, I can be a very… VERY bad girl too." An adorable Cheshire grin plastered on her lips.

"…" Another unexpected reply from her, stunning him for a few seconds. He sighed. "I have a lot of enemies, Mengjie." The look in his eyes changed. It was unreadable and yet something dark.

"Then I will be your greatest ally! Now that you're my man, your enemies are my enemies," she grinned confidently at him. "Besides, the biggest risk is not taking any risk at all."

Warmth grew in his chest. He didn't want to start a relationship with her but at the same time, he didn't want to let her go. He was conflicted. It only made him guilty inside.

"It's always either take the risk or lose the chance. As for me, I don't want to regret anything in this life. I may not know you but I have already set my mind. You are the risk I'm willing to take."

His gaze softened at her as her words hit through his chest, into his heart. She may not know how much those words meant to him but she would find out soon. This time, an amused chuckle was heard from him. "And if I cheated?"

Her face darkened. A sinister smile appeared on her lips when she imagined him cheating in their relationship. "I guess I'll have to use my father's torture room."

"Torture… room?" He trailed off.

"First, I'll skin that harridan wench alive. Pull out her nails. One. By. One. Then her teeth. Then I'm going to fill her body with ants. After I'm done with her," she paused and glared coldly at him. "I'm going to castrate you! I'll cook her meat and feed her to you!" She exclaimed darkly. The innocent look on her face was replaced by an ominous look. From looking like an angel, it was as if suddenly transformed into a dangerous witch- no, not a witch. She looked like she was possessed by an evil spirit that left Yong Liwei speechless.

"…"

In the next second, the pressure in the car subsided. She smiled sweetly, so innocently at him as if she never said those threats earlier. "So you better think twice before you cheat on me, okay?"

A laugh was heard from him. He never thought that she would be able to say something like that. She never looked like a person who could even harm an ant but he should have expected this. She was a member of the Lu family. She was Lu Xian Yu's daughter. Torture was his specialty so it was only normal that it was passed down to his daughter.

"Then I should do the same thing if you ever cheated on me." He smiled.

"But I'm allowed to be with my harem, right? I'm still allowed to fill my collection of beauties."

Reminded of her collection, a cease formed in between his brows. "I want to meet them."

"Sure! But my headquarters is in Switzerland. You've already met Greed. I'm not sure if Pride's in the country tho… as for Wrath…" she paused and frowned. "Fuck him."

Greed… Pride… Wrath… they were one of the seven deadly sins. He ran that through his head. She was using those words as if addressing people. Despite not liking the idea of her being surrounded by men, he couldn't ignore the fact that whatever organization she was leading piqued his interest. "Does that mean that you have seven men in your harem?"

"No, of course not. They are just my top seven. They are the people in charge of different divisions," Lu Mengjie said proudly. "And you being my man means that you'll be in command of them."

He raised a brow. Why did it sound more like a mysterious criminal organization? She said that he has already met Greed. The only person he mentioned to her was…

"Xia Liqin is part of your harem?" He inquired, trying to confirm the speculation he had in mind.

Lu Mengjie was suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to giggle. "Ah, what a smart boyfriend I have."
