89 Sketchy Raven

On the realization his smile immediately vanished and a sinister look took over. The woman was controlling him in more ways than one.

Half laying on her bed Li Yuan thought about the hard week he had with all the elders nagging him because of this woman, when he get his hands on her he will definitely make her pay for it.

He had confidential meetings all week long. The Head Quarter in j.a.pan had issues that he will have to deal with too. He hardly had the strength or time to breathe and here this stubborn woman ignored him like a plague even when he requested her presence by personally coming to her house.

In their twenty three years of engagement he had never as much as entered the Lu's living room but when he comes she b*tch with him like that!

She was no neglected fiancée whose presence he disregarded for years.

The episode that day in the conference room and her adamancy on not looking at his face by then was shouting proof of the fact that she was no clingy push-over.

She was cunning and manipulative. Like a kind of person who shoots with the revolver on someone else's shoulder. She had been playing Master Lu like some lalaloopsy doll for weeks now by twisting the occurrence with words.

She was hiding too many things. The strength she used and the fluency she had in her moves was a perfect testimony of that. It took years of practice to reach that level.

He had investigated her and the information is a hundred percent correct.

But the problem is what is in the papers opposes what meets the eye. First it was really intriguing to know what the other sides the goody-two shoes had but now it was getting on his nerves.

He could see the woman wasn't a fire-red fierce independent woman. This woman was crimson-red predator. She clearly had an agenda but there was no use asking she would straight deny all allegations and will know the eggs in his basket.

First that incident in the club, it was like she knew it all along. She was that sharp that she recoiled Jiang Qinqin in her own game that also all the while playing victim, such a clean revenge!

And not to forget her good fighting skills and how she almost killed a man in that club when Lu Xinyi had never even slapped a person before in her whole twenty two years.

So what changed this year? n.o.body's personality undergoes such a drastic change in such a short span. There is definitely something wrong here either the records lie or the woman has been too clever to….

The door of the walk-in closet opened breaking his trains of thoughts but he didn't move an inch he had to get a hold of his self. He sensed movement in the room but didn't react at all and kept his eyes closed.

Eventually he felt the bed beside him dip, "I am not going to beat around the bush so let's be clear, no matter if you even choke me with that pillow over there I am not going back to that h.e.l.lhole of a place." He heard Lei Xinyi snarled by his side.

Lei Xinyi was sitting lotus style place beside him. She knew there was no reason prolonging the inevitable conversation.

Li Yuan laid there with his hands behind his head and eyes closed without an ounce of reaction at her words. Lei Xinyi felt irked immediately and hissed, "How did you even get here. You should know if I were to shout right now…"

Lei Xinyi stopped midway as a sinister smirk formed on Li Yuan's face. And he said opening his eyes, "I got here climbing the same wall you use to sneak at night."

His words had her stiffening immediately and she felt herself turning cold. Instinctively she moved closer to her pillow which had the dagger beneath it.

Lei Xinyi was no martyr. She would kill him without a second thought. If it's anyone's life coming to a bargain, she will always trade for hers.

He knew…and he knew more than he let on. He is dangerous and a threat. The wheels in her mind turned immediately. The place wasn't safe anymore if she survived this she is escaping out of their lives at the first chance she got.

There was no use denying. "If that's your way of threatening me that's too less dirt you got on me for a proper bargain." Lei Xinyi said sarcastically.

In a swish moment Li Yuan eyes opened and threw Lei Xinyi on the bed. Lei Xinyi who had her hand already on the pillow immediately took out the dagger from underneath and brought it to his throat before falling flat on the bed.

Gritting her teeth Lei Xinyi said, "Back off You F*cker, or I will kill you."

Li Yuan had both his hands on the bed supporting his weight. Smirking he was not a least bit fazed by the situation at all.

He brought his left leg in an immediate motion between Lei Xinyi thighs causing a sharp yelp of surprise to leave Lei Xinyi.

Taking the moment of surprise Lei Yuan s.n.a.t.c.hed the daggers from her hand.

Lei Xinyi immediately stilled then stated violently thras.h.i.+ng under him to get her hands back on the dagger.

At once Li Yuan eyes were filled with rage and flipped the dagger in the air just above Lei Xinyi and grabbed it in the air. Holding the dagger he threw it right on Lei Xinyi.

'SWIs.h.!.+'

Lei Xinyi squinted her eyes bracing for her death but it never came. She felt the air movement beside and knew at once that it had landed beside her head and dug in the mattress.

Her breath hitched and her eyes stung, she wanted to cry at the vulnerable state this man had her in. She didn't dare move another muscle.

Li Yuan brought his hand down and lifted her chin, then said in a softer tone, "Listen sweetheart, I don't do bargains I bid offer and you will not disrespect me like this. I know you keep secrets, tons of them and I will strip everyone of them with grace but let's deal with the matter at hand. You don't want to go back to the office?"

Lei Xinyi gulped and nodded her not trusting her voice at the moment.

Raising a brow Li Yuan asked in the same patient tone, "And why is that?"

"I…It bores me and I don't like the secretariat at all."

Thinking something Li Yuan nodded his head, "You can choose the department but the Li's elders want to make sure they aren't bringing a Barbie for the next Matriarch position so you will have to do job till our wedding and I can't climb the walls every night so we have to have a way of interaction, no?"

Lei Xinyi simply nodded her head too afraid to open her mouth.

Having all the important matters settled his eyes turned o the dagger. Li Yuan took out the dagger from the mattress and grinned, "Baby, where did you get this toy from?"

"Th..The Antique shop. It..It's a replica."

Li Yuan examined the dagger. He had his theories when he saw it in the video but all doubts were gone once he saw it up close. It was not a replica.

It was in fact the heirloom, he was dreading it to be. Li Yuan looked at the woman beneath him. Many questions ran in his mind but his expressions didn't change at all to let his emotions out.

HIs Raven was sketchy.

He knew who it belonged to and the only person who could give that to her is dead so…

Nodding his head as if he bought her explanation he slid off her and tossed the dagger across the room like he wish he could throw the person who it belonged to.

Lei Xinyi took a deep breath to calm her nerves but the next second had her eyes bulging out.

"What the h.e.l.l are you doing?!" She asked shocked out of her wits.

Li Yuan was taking his s.h.i.+rt off followed by his belt. With widened eyes Lei Xinyi scooted to the far end of the bed.

Pulling her toward him in a swift movement Li Yuan collected her in arms and muttered, "I am doing nothing just going to sleep so shut up."

"Why are you sleeping here? Go back to your own house."

"Shut up." Lei Xinyi heard his soft voice beside her ear followed by his even breaths. Lei Xinyi huffed and turned away from his broad chest that was giving her ideas and tried to sleep.

Her last though before going asleep was, 'Would have I really kill him if I had to?'
