Chapter 9 Be Careful What You Wish For

  • Li Xuanxiao was astounded when he heard what she said.
  • He found it funny and replied, “Ha! Are you going to tell me you have fallen in love with me? Tang Muyue, just tell me what you want. You don’t have to pretend in front of me.”
  • In this world, there was no one else that knew her better than he.
  • Li Xuanxiao knew her inside-out: her personality, what she liked, what she hated. He also knew that Tang Muyue loathed him the most, so it would be impossible for her to suddenly fall for him.
  • What he didn’t know was that the old Tang Muyue was dead. Now, all she wanted was to regain his love!
  • “Xuanxiao, I don’t care whether you believe it or not. I really don’t want anything.” Tang Muyue looked at Li Xuanxiao sincerely, hoping he would believe her.
  • Time seemed to have stopped.
  • Li Xuanxiao squinted. Finally, he let out a sigh, “Is that so? Then don’t blame me for what I’m going to do next.”
  • Before Tang Muyue could even respond, she was lifted into the air by a pair of strong arms.
  • Li Xuanxiao carried Tang Muyue upstairs. He threw her onto the bed without any mercy.
  • “Ah!”
  • It all came too sudden and before Tang Muyue could even grasp the situation, a tall figure was on top of her, blanketing her with his body.
  • “Tang Muyue, remember, you asked for this.”
  • He was on top of her, whispering beside her ears in a deep voice before exploring her body passionately.
  • His lips moved from Tang Muyue’s ears all the way down her body. She could feel the kisses, but they had no warmth. The way he was going at her resembled a ravenous predator devouring its prey.
  • The scent of cologne on his body emanated through the air as he showed off his domineering masculinity with actions that were wild and impatient - to the extent of becoming intimidating.
  • Tang Muyue panicked. She recalled what happened on her first night: he was too violent and had caused so much pain throughout her body.
  • Li Xuanxiao didn’t show any mercy this time, either. He was rough, as if he were trying to penalize her for getting too close to him.
  • But this time Tang Muyue didn’t run away. She reached out to him and held him on his neck.
  • It’s okay. If he really wanted to do so, she was willing to withstand the pain.
  • Li Xuanxiao was shocked at how cooperative she was. There was no sign of struggle at all.
  • She cried and cursed him so much on the night of their engagement. Today, however, she was so proactive and calm.
  • What happened to her that changed her so much?
  • Li Xuanxiao had lost the mood to continue the more he pondered. He got up and turned around to button up his shirt.
  • Tang Muyue was trying to catch her breath. While she was glad that he had stopped inflicting pain on her, she was slightly disappointed, too.
  • She was willing to give him all she had, but perhaps not now. Not in her current situation.
  • As Li Xuanxiao calmed his thoughts, he realised he had indeed been rather rough. Before he walked away, he turned around and apologized softly, “I’m sorry.”
  • “Where are you going?” Tang Muyue thought he was going to leave again. She tugged at his shirt,
  • “Stay.”
  • He replied plainly, “Shower.”
  • Tang Muyue let out a sigh of relief. The gushing sound of water in the shower reassured her that he was still with her.
  • Ten minutes later.
  • The bathroom door opened and Tang Muyue raised her head by reflex. She looked toward the bathroom and was instantly charmed.
  • She spotted a flawless masculine figure with a perfectly tanned body and well-defined abs. Below his waist wrapped a towel that screened off his prominent part. The few drops of water on his abs made him all the sexier.
  • Be it the rock-hard abs or solid calves, his body was just perfect. Coupled with outstanding facial features and an elegant presence, he could easily be mistaken for the world’s top male model.
  • Unknowingly, Tang Muyue had lost herself staring at him.
  • Li Xuanxiao was drying his hair when he felt a fierce gaze shooting his way. He turned around and saw Tang Muyue acting like a pervert, swallowing her saliva with her starry eyes on him.
  • Damn it! Now that she’s looking at me like that, I actually feel like doing it.
  • Not letting his real emotions surface, Li Xuanxiao pretended not to have noticed her. He simply said, “Go take a shower.”
  • It was then that Tang Muyue regained her senses. She blushed and rushed into the bathroom.
  • Fifteen minutes later.
  • Tang Muyue walked out of the bathroom and felt a sudden chill.
  • She turned around and found Li Xuanxiao in a bathrobe, sitting by the French window and enjoying a glass of wine.
  • From a distance, Tang Muyue felt that while he looked impressively manly, he exuded an air of loneliness.
  • Tang Muyue felt the urge to rush over and hug him. And so she did.
  • She held him from behind, breathing in all his bodily scent. She remembered she used to ignore him all the time, and that she had never once looked at him in the eye.
  • She knew Li Xuanxiao did not have many friends and he was alone most of the time.
  • Li Xuanxiao was strong and capable. He led an entire company and tackled all the problems by himself. Many people couldn’t wait for him to fail, yet he never faltered.
  • The only person he truly cared about is me, but I hated him so much and even pushed him away.
  • Guilt set in again as Tang Muyue thought about her past behaviour.
  • Li Xuanxiao furrowed his brows as he felt someone closing in from behind. He turned around and saw Tang Muyue embracing him, her hair still wet from showering.
  • Li Xuanxiao was concerned. He patted her on her head, “Go dry your hair or else you’ll get sick.”
  • Tang Muyue raised her head, blushing as she asked timidly like a child, “I want you to dry my hair for me, could you?”
  • Li Xuanxiao had never seen her with such attitude; she had hit him on his soft spot. He nodded, “Alright, let’s do it on the sofa.”
  • Tang Muyue smiled playfully as she moved over to the brown leather sofa.
  • Li Xuanxiao took out the blow dryer and reached behind Tang Muyue.
  • As he had no prior experience drying a woman’s hair, he was very careful when running his long fingers through her silky wet hair. He was very gentle, lest he hurt her.
  • Tang Muyue enjoyed every moment as she felt the warmth on her hair.
  • After Li Xuanxiao had finished drying her hair, he realised Tang Muyue was already sleeping soundly on the sofa.
  • He carried her back to their bed and tucked her in.
  • She skin was as supple as a baby’s. She looked pretty even when she was asleep. He even felt sorry for her seeing how obedient she was.
  • Li Xuanxiao let out a sigh all of a sudden, and frowned.
  • He realised he couldn’t read her anymore.
