He wanted to shout and force her to listen to sort their situation.

But she was h.e.l.l-bent on destroying the scarce relation they have left.

He had an urge to drag her back inside his sanctum and lock her inside there forever so she can never utter the nonsense she was uttering right now.

He Fisted the steering wheel till his bleeding muscles turned pale.

She was indeed a cruel lover, any other woman would have tried to bandage his wounds or be sympathetic but here she sat with a ticked jaw looking out of the car.

He often what was it about this woman that all other paled in comparison?

Why she out of all beauties appeal him like no other? Li Yuan shook his head lightly. No gain thinking this!

Li Yuan drove the car out of the uncivilized area when both their phones started vibrating at once.

Once connected to Data Lei Xinyi saw she had received calls and messages from Master Lu, Madam Lu, and her head of Security.

Apparently, Li Yaun was right. This place really gave a detached you from the world.

She quickly typed a message telling them she was fine and was with Li Yaun and will call them later. That would placate them for now.

Li Yaun didn't even touch his phone that was 'pinging' with notifications that were until his phone started ringing.

He looked at the screen and hit the brakes instantly of the fast-moving car, causing Lei Xinyi to jerk forward.

In absolute reflex, she dug her heels in the car leather interior to prevent hitting the winds.h.i.+eld gla.s.s.

Lei Xinyi snapped her head toward him to glare at him when she saw his face contoured in pure irritation and a hint of...worry.

Lei Xinyi was curious to see who was the person to evoke such a reaction from Li Yaun. She tilted her head to d=see the screen when Li Yaun picked up the phone and brought it to his ear.

He rested his elbow on the window and looked out of the winds.h.i.+eld gla.s.s.

Li Yuan let out a heavy sigh, "What is it?"

Whatever the person said on the other said, it was obvious Li Yaun didn't like.

He glanced at her from the rearview mirror and smirked, a smirked that let your lungs on fire. It was hard to tell if it was directed at her or the caller.

"I was spending quality time with my lover." His tone had his arrogancy dripping.

Despite all the devil-may-care att.i.tude. Lei Xinyi could see his tense muscles and jaw clenched.

Lei Xinyi couldn't stop the scoff that came from her. Li Yuan glared in her direction all signs of mirth gone.

"I can't. She is with me." He said averting eye contact from her.

Lei Xinyi looked at him shocked and confused. He was talking about her!

Her curiosity skyrocketed with that. If the person was referring to her than the person was definitely someone she knew. And for a person to bring such a reaction from Li Yuan, he was instantly her favorite person.

Li Yuan brows furrowed and sneered in the phone, "We are coming."

Hanging up he threw the phone on the dashboard and ran his hand through his hair. He did this a lot when he was frustrated.

Her fingers were shaking by now. This Li Yuan was scary. She just realized she was far more braver when she was hot-headed than when she was level headed.

She was now conscious of the things she said as she was conscious of the throbbing wound on her back.

Lei Xinyi licked her lip to moisten her parched lip, and sheepishly asked, "Who was it and where are we going?"

Li Yaun didn't even glance in her direction just kept looking out of the winds.h.i.+eld with a stressed expression like he was deep in thought when at once he halted his moment as if he found a solution.

He turned in her direction than narrowed his eyes at her as if thinking hard.

"Somewhere." He muttered and turned to the small cabinet and took out a bottle of medicines.

He took out a tablet broke it into two and handed it to her with a bottle of water, "Eat up?′

Lei Xinyi glanced at his extended hand then at him specifically, "What is it and why should I eat it?"

G.o.d knows what he was feeding her. Poisoning her or knocking even wasn't beyond him so hesitation was contemplative.

Li Yaun furrowed at her, "It's pain killer. It will relieve you of the headache."

It was suspicious, the time and situation were too coincidental.

it was definitely not a headache tablet and just by looking at it she could also tell it wasn't poisonous but it wasn't something she identified so she was wary.

"But I don't have a headache..."

Li Yaun's eyes narrowed further, "Eat up, Xinyi!"

There was no way she could convince him otherwise when he was this consistent. He couldn't really kill her or harm her when she had informed the Lu's about her whereabouts.

And even her subconscious she knew he wouldn't hurt her although she had no signatory to support her claim.

Lei Xinyi warily took the tablet and gulped it down and embraced whatever Li Yuan had in store for her.
