Chapter 353: Dinner Together
Chenglei left her alone to take a bath and after changing to a comfortable royal blue dress, she realised that there were no maids or servants left in the courtyard and took a stroll around wondering what he might have planned.
As she got out of her room, she remembered the study she was prohibited to enter and as curious as she is, she got there and stood by the door that was closed and listened if Chenglei was inside. Sensing no movements inside she was about to open the door to take a peek inside that forbidden frontiers of her man.
But before she could open the door she felt someone closing in on her and her hand was grabbed by the familiar hands that have held her with utmost affection in the past and closed the door before she could take a peek.
"What are you doing, Miss Táng", Chenglei’s deep magnetic voice laced with mockery, grazed her ears making her freeze. He smelt like food for some reason, her hand grabbed by his hand felt like it was burning and when Xing turned to look at him and the proximity of his face made her blush.
Why is he getting more handsome as he age?
"What are you keeping here Lord Li, that needs your personal protection?", she asked trying to open the door. The more he tried to keep her away, the more she wanted to look.
"You are not keeping a bunch of girls tied up there, are you?", she asked after failing to open the door against his strength. She couldn’t accept the fact that he is hiding something from her.
Chenglei did want to hide something. This study is the one he uses whenever he wants to be alone and had no official business. The last time he was here, he tried to figure out the painting of the little girl playing with the tiger he had and then left it in the shelf here. He knew the moment this woman enters, she’d pick that painting up and would start to doubt him as someone who likes children, pervert and whatnot.
He had already hid that painting perfectly and it won’t matter anymore but when he finished cooking and came here to get this woman, she was trying to sneak in that study and he could not help but want to tease her.
But who ended up getting blamed... Again?
This Woman!
"You...", Chenglei’s dangerously deep voice made goosebumps appear in Xing’s skin as he bent close to her holding her hand enveloping her with his warmth and licked her ear, "Whom do you take me as?", he bit her earlobe making her hiss.
