The shower had its personal hot tub but Lei Xinyi didn't have time for a relaxing bath.

Li Yuan had been gone to the office since the morning. She didn't because she was supposedly 'pregnant' and shouldn't be straining her body so much, so she resigned.

Not that she had a hand in it. Neither was a resignation written by her nor was a notification given to her. Li Yuan took care of it.

The Elders had no objections as Li Yuan had decided that he will cohabit with Lei Xinyi and the whole purpose of going to the office was satisfied.

She didn't argue too. The place was too domestic and civilized for her taste.

Li Yuan was too overbearing that he even decided what she would wear. He was just too bossy but Lei Xinyi didn't want to cause an argument or commotion when she was here temporarily.

Today they both were going to the Lu Mansion to announce the plans officially to them. They already knew, but it looked only right to pay a visit.

Lei Xinyi stepped out of the bathroom in Li Yuan's room where her two dresses with sandals were kept on the bed.

Lei Xinyi raised a brow and smirked sarcastically. 'Oh! So, she had a choice here?!'

She eyed both the dresses one was gunmetal grey off-shoulder, knee-length with only one sleeve. The blouse area and the sleeve were in black lace and the rest was flowing silk.

The other was a phoenix sand peach silk dress with a heart neckline, body length dress with silt, and the edges of the dress were of salt white lace.

Besides, the dresses in gla.s.s boxes were ballerina flats. One was in black lace and the other in salt white.

Lei Xinyi at once got the hint. He sure was playing safe. Instead of heels, he got her ballerina flats as a pregnant woman would wear.

Lei Xinyi observed the dresses and sandals in awe. Lei Xinyi has to give it to him that he sure did have a taste in picking.

They were both from the Oscar de la Renta's latest limited editions. One had to spend a fortune to buy them and here he was bringing her such expensive dresses and accessories so they can go visit her 'parents'.

Such a waste of money! It would be a disgrace to wear these in anything less than grand, but she would not complain.

She adored them and would definitely take them with her when she finally escapes.

She was in a predicament of which dress to choose, but then she ended up choosing the gunmetal gray dress as it looked more sophisticated and alluring.

Besides, such a color would look vibrant on her pale skin.

As Lei Xinyi picked the dress, she saw black lace lingerie that was laying under the dress and was in contrast with her dress.

Lei Xinyi at once blushed thinking of Li Yuan picking a set of matching lingerie for her. She could almost see him smirking at her and giving her suggestive glances.

Throwing her embarra.s.sment aside, Lei Xinyi glanced at the wall-clock. It was hardly a half-hour left in his arrival and she wasn't even dressed yet.

She quickly held the underwear in her hands. Lei Xinyi wore the thong and then the bra.

She was strapping the bra when her hands froze.

'That fits too perfectly to be a guess! How the h.e.l.l did he even know her size? Was he feeling her up when she was unconscious?! She will have to talk to him about this!'

Lei Xinyi's heart beat loudly in her chest and her cheeks flamed crimson red just by the thought of his hands on her. A little part of her wished she was awake when he did that.

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d..."

She took the dress and wore it. She looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror and smiled. In the mirror, she saw a woman who was adored, and her merriness reflected from her skin.

She touched her damp hairs and looked for a hairdryer but didn't find any then she looked at the vanity table to only find man's stuff and no make-up.

She looked at the mirror and frowned. Although she didn't really need to do make up that much, but wasn't that what every woman needed, even if it was a little?

Lei Xinyi started rampaging through his things, but even after a whole ten minutes, she found nothing.

She scoffed, sitting on the bed, "And here I thought he was considerate!"

Lei Xinyi was scowling and letting her hair air dry when the door was knocked.

She looked at the door with a frown. It wasn't Li Yuan, for he would never knock because literally it was his room too.

And though the mansion had too many servants because Li Yuan didn't like crowds, they stayed invisible, and only when you needed them they materialize out of nowhere.

That freaked her out in the beginning, but then she realized that there were only two or three servants in the Mansion at a time. Other times they stayed in their Quarters or outside doing ch.o.r.eses.

But none of them would knock, they would rather use intercom even in case of an emergency.

For precaution, Lei Xinyi broke a wooden comb from the vanity table into half so the sharp edges were there and held them in her dress.

"Come in!"

The door opened smoothly to reveal a tall woman sultrily dressed in deep crimson red with high heels and shoulder-length, silver-blonde hairs.

The woman looked Italian, and at once Lei Xinyi remembered Old Madam Li.

Lei Xinyi stared at her for a fleeting moment. The woman was gorgeous and somehow familiar too!

At once Lei Xinyi's mind went in overdrive. 'Was she one of Li Yuan's ex or fangirl who had come to pick a fight with her?'

The woman walked to her with excluding confidence and a friendly smile. At once Lei Xinyi awe turned in to a full-bloomed glare.

"Who are you? And what the h.e.l.l are you doing here?" Lei Xinyi asked in her coldest tone she could musters.

The woman's smile didn't falter even for a moment, but she even had the audacity to giggle. She came to her and placed a hand on Lei Xinyi's shoulder. She was about to shrug it away when her next words stopped her.
