Chapter 149 - A Temptress!
"Don\'t what?" Lin Xiaofei chose to act ignorant to his words and tried to tug her hands back to herself.
Qu Xing Xu didn\'t know why but he had to thank his strength and will to hold onto her tightly so that her hands wouldn\'t escape from his own or else, this lady in front of him would test his endurance and question his own sanity.
He already knew that these things were bound to happen sooner than later since they will be married soon. However, he refused to take advantage of this situation where she almost died twice tonight and where she takes the first action.
As if she could read his mind, Lin Xiaofei had the urge to roll her eyes once again. The corners of her lips were on the verge of tugging upward but she held on to her blank look.
Qu Xing Xu tried to shift where he stood but when he moved, his hands rubbed on the sore spot in her wrist and Lin Xiaofei cried out.
"Ow!"
Startled at her painful cry, Qu Xing Xu got worried and let her go abruptly. He looked down at her wrist and found the red marks climbing up her forearms.
"Sorry. I didn\'t mean to hurt you." Qu Xing Xu immediately apologized and tried to soothe the pain by caressing the red lines.
However, little did he know that Lin Xiaofei wasn\'t finished with her torture.
With her wrists finally released from his hold, Lin Xiaofei took the chance while he was distracted by the fact that he hurt her and sneakily tugged the collar of her inner clothes.
Her fair shoulders peeked through the opening that was created by her tug and just when it went past her shoulders, Qu Xing Xu finally noticed this and his face went from blushing to pale white.
"Xiaofei! Don\'t make me commit a sin!" As if he was in a hurry, Qu Xing Xu tugged his blanket and wrapped her body with it.
He wrapped her like a spring roll but instead of a vegetable and meat as a stuffing, what was inside was an enticing young lady who was making him lose control and frustrated at this moment!
Lin Xiaofei glared at him for manhandling her and struggled to get out of the blanket that hr wrapped her with. But Qu Xing Xu was relentless not to let her do anything at all.
"Qu Xing Xu! Aren\'t you ashamed to your ancestors for manhandling a lady?" She said with gritted teeth.
"I don\'t think I can classify you as a lady right now." Qu Xing Xu countered. "You\'re a… you\'re a she-demon. A temptress!"
Run out of words because she was speechless at him calling her a she-demon, Lin Xiaofei tried to kick him. But because he was keeping her wrapped up by putting himself on top of her, Qu Xing Xu had to protect himself by putting his legs in between her thighs.
The two of them glared at each other. They were both breathless from their struggle and honestly, Qu Xing Xu never thought he could be this breathless.
All the meticulous and arduous training he had to undergo when he was just a child as well as the battles that he had faced during all this time, he had never had a hard time breathing and feel tired at all. However, there was also the excitement that he was feeling right now that wishes to see things through.
Was he finally losing his mind? Of course not. He already knew that this was the doing of Lin Xiaofei but he had to avoid thinking about it or else, it will only make the matter harder for him.
They continued to battle with their eyes, glaring at each other. On the top of the roof and outside of Qu Xing Xu\'s quarter, his men who were stationed outside and the people that had to secretly stay near was also having a hard time doing their job.
Earlier, their master told them to stay away from his chamber and went out after taking their young madam inside. No one knows what happened after that and they didn\'t try to show their concerns that they became lax in their duty to guard the perimeter.
The female servant who went inside was also part of their mistake for lacking alertness. But who could blame them when this was the first time they have encountered a situation where they have a female master?
They didn\'t know how to take care of things and as soon as the female servant told them that she was there to give the clothes to their young madam, they let her in as no one in their group was of the same gender as Lin Xiaofei and they didn\'t even dare to take the clothes to Lin Xiaofei in fear of attracting Qu Xing Xu\'s ire.
And as soon as the failed assassination was known to them after Qu Xing Xu killed off the assassin, all his subordinates were prepared to take any punishment.
However, they never agreed to take this kind of punishment where they had to hear their master\'s amorous night with the young madam!
At this moment, Gu Yan, who was done with taking out the remaining assassin who went beyond the pond returned to report to his master when one of the guards outside stopped him.
"Hm? Why are you stopping me?" Gu Yan frowned at the guard who looked extremely uncomfortable and with a face so red that it looked like a tomato.
The guard shook his head and stuttered. "T-that is… Uh… You can\'t see Master for now."
"I have urgent matters to report to Master. Stop blocking me!" Gu Yan lightly pushed the guard back and was about to storm forward when several people blocked him.
He recognized every one of them as part of the elite groups that were tasked to protect the main courtyard where their masters live.
He frowned at this sight and wanted to scold them for blocking him. He was sure that they recognized him as he was their leader but how is it that he was being blocked by them.
Presumptuous!
Gu Yan was about to blow up and scold them but he took over his temper and tried to make out what was going on, it was his ear that was the fastest to pick up what was really happening.
In the end, Gu Yan\'s face turned bright red and he staggered backward.
