She had curled the ends of her ebony hairs and pulled them up in a high pony tail. She wore a full sleeved, white b.u.t.ton down and a beige pencil skirt to match with it.

She twirled and looked at her curvy figure and smirked. Li Yuan would probably drool like a toddler.

A little liner, blush and matte gloss did wonders on her pale skin. She sat on the bed and wore the strappy, black stilettos he gifted her. Picking the limited edition Gucci bag she stood up.

A maid came knocking on the door, "Ms, Mr. Li is here."

A smile graced Lei Xinyi face hearing of his arrival, "Tell him, I will be there in a while."

"Yes, Ms." A maid said with a smile and left.

Since Li Yuan announced he wanted to amend things he had been doing the pick and drop from office thing like a typical boyfriend would.

He would even do breakfast with them much to Lu Han distaste.

The kid didn't really like him and would tell her constantly to find a better 'brother in-law' for him. He would be leaving for army camp at the end of the summer and he was anxious for his 'sister' welfare.

Lei Xinyi walked out of the door and reached the dinning table where Master Lu was laughing about something Li Yuan said.

Anybody could tell Master Lu was indeed happy as his eyes twinkled when he smiled.

Madam was the first to notice her arrival and smiled at her suggestively and announced her presence, "Li Yuan, your awaited fiance is here."

Every eyes turned to her and she gracefully smiled. Li Yuan stood up from his seat from beside Master Lu.

He held her hand and smiled, a smile that reached his eyes. He bent down and kissed her forehead, "I missed you, darling."

Lu Han scoffed audibly and Madam Lu elbowed him in the ribs, "Behave."

"Ow.. Mom that hurt."

Lu Xinyi rolled her eyes at him, and pointed out "You saw me yesterday."

Li Yuan took her to the table and pulled her chair out for her and then when she sat back down he pushed it back in. He came back on his seat and sat down.

"Gentleman much." Lei Xinyi arched her one thin brow and muttered only for his ears to hear.

A smirk made its way on his face and he licked his lips, "Trust me sweetheart, I can be your beast in the sheets."

A blush made its way on Lei Xinyi cheeks while she narrowed her eyes at him, and sarcastically retorted, "Aren't you quite a romantic?"

"Darling you..."

"Are you going to now come everyday to gobble free food and flirt with my sister on the breakfast table." Li Yuan was harshly interrupted by Lu Han rude comment, who was scowling at him.

It was offending to say the least. Lu Han and Lu Sheng att.i.tude toward Li Yuan had been like this since he decided to go all lovey-dovey on her.

They had been trying their best to irritate or annoy him to the point so Li Yuan would burst in anger and they would prove their point of him not being the ideal husband.

The room temperature dropped but the smile on his face didn't falter for a second but became a mocking smirk as he looked at Lu Han.

Lu Han was definitely intimidated and his expression said it all. He visibly gulped.

"Yes, I am."

Lu Han who tense a while ago turned red at his nonchalance and banged his fists on the table.

"You...You despicable man!" Lu Han shouted and stood up with a start that his chair fell back, "Lu Xinyi, are you f*cking blind?! He is playing you, d.a.m.n it! Just to coax you on his bed!"

"If anyone it's your dear 'sister' who is playing him." Lei Xinyi muttered under breath.

"Lu Han,That's enough! Go back to your room!" Master Lu shouted in his stern voice shutting Lu Han at once.

He gave one last death glare to Li Yuan and stomped his way out of the room. Even though it wasn't obvious but Lu Han insult did a number on him but he restrained his temper.

Madam Lu gave an awkward smile to clear the air, "He is quite protective of his sister and gets a little emotional...��

Lei Xinyi also nodded her head, grinning in amus.e.m.e.nt, "Yeah the kid is enthusiastic about protecting his sister from potential knights so you better treat me right."

Saying that Lei Xinyi playfully nudged him to lighten the mood.

Li Yuan rolled his eyes playfully at her and muttered, "Of course."

Master Lu wasn't placated at all it could be seen even by blinds but he didn't say anything.

It was obvious he did have concerns himself about Li Yuan but the girl needed a brute to protect her from the brutes that could hurt her.

Lei Xinyi ate a little of everything while Li Yaun kept putting things in her plate and watching her eat.

Lei Xinyi ate slowly and gracefully in the tense environment without a care in the world.

When she finally ate she wiped her face with a napkin and said her goodbyes to Madam Lu and Madam Lu and they left for work.

The car ride was spent in an awkward silence. None of them said a word to break the ice. Lei Xinyi looked at the pa.s.sing buildings all the ride.

Li Yaun mood was somber and his pursed lips told he was tense and his posture was stiff like he was suppressing something, deep in thought.

When the car stopped at Li Yaun's private parking lot Lei Xinyi opened the door to get out but she was tugged back down.

Li Yaun was hardly a breath away from her, suddenly the place in the car seemed compact and too small.

He was holding her close like he may loose reading an emotion or two if don't observe well.

"Do you believe it too?" Li Yaun asked in a serious tone, all traces of humor long gone.

Lei Xinyi was stunned silent, "Wh..What?"

"Do you believe it to that I am tricking you into my bed." Li Yaun held her arm by force, holding her down and asked in a dead serious tone.

Lei Xinyi huffed and rolled her eyes, "Is that what you have been whining and brooding about." Lei Xinyi tried to yank her arm back but to no avail he had a tight hold.

"Arghh... You brute! Listen, don't be childish. Lu Han is a hot-headed teenage and said that only because of your reputation and didn't really mean it. and....and it doesn't really matter."

As Lei xinyi uttered the words the car was shrouded in silence and dread to compete the dead-men lands.
