Why was it that every time she was around this man, she was never able to properly explain herself and was left second guessing her own decisions?! And what did he mean by finis.h.i.+ng what she started? He was the one who shoved her onto him! He was the one who didn"t let go of her! He was the one with the sharp thing sticking up!
Bai Qingyue"s eyes darkened into a wolfish amber shade as he adjusted himself into a sitting position. The large bulge between his legs represented the unmistakable evidence of his arousal. "This bad wife still thinks she can escape me?"
Without wasting any more time, he clutched a hand to his bare chest and made a show of continuously coughing for a good minute.
He was the perfect model of an aggrieved, sickly wife deserted by her husband.
"So now that you had your way with me," He coughed twice, "you see me at my lowest point and no longer find me attractive. My wife wants to leave me…"
Zhu Qingyue"s ailing condition pulled at her heartstrings. Li Meirong put on a helpless look as her resolution wavered. "Why am I always the villain?!"
The finger aimed at the ill man trembled. She hurried to explain herself, "That"s not what I meant! You"re very handsome, and I"m not changing my mind because I think you"re weak! When I told you I would care for you, I didn"t mean for you to move into my house, nor to marry you."
Prior to answering, Bai Qingyue side-eyed his subordinate. The small snow fox crouching in the corner was no longer concealing his interest in The Lord"s private conversation. Bai Yu stared bug-eyed, witnessing for the first time what an unscrupulous liar His Lords.h.i.+p actually was.
"The Lord may have been causing mischief at a younger age, but he was always unfailingly honourable! Who is this immoral devil?! What happened to my dignified lord?!
Bai Yu didn"t manage to get over his shock before he felt a piercing heat zapping him. He sniffed the slightly charred smell of his fur before turning his head around, only to see his tail had caught on fire!
During the time Bai Qingyue was conversing with Li Meirong, he sent a streak of Foxfire to roast Bai Yu!
The small snow fox silently prayed for Her Ladys.h.i.+p"s wellbeing before das.h.i.+ng out of the cabin, completely undetected. "Stay strong, M"lady!"
