Lei Xinyi picked up the brush and loose contour and toned her face, elevating her already high cheekbones, forehead and other points. Her pale skin looked more radiant now. She needed to get a tan. Her in-door routine was going to cost her a toned body!
Alex as her promise, had visited her and helped her fill the wardrobe and vanity table. In the fit of anger, Lei Xinyi had gone on a retail-therapy and spent his money as she sweated in a sauna.
In fact, she was pus.h.i.+ng his b.u.t.tons so she could provoke him enough to confront her.
Guess that didn"t do the job, he didn"t bother visiting her.
After that fight, Lei Xinyi stayed confined to her room brewing her anger by feeding it a sanctuary-silence. She didn"t know what she could do.
Her phone was bugged and she was in a curfew. It was enough fuel for her rage. The premises of the Mansion she was "allowed" mocked her with its high walls and security precautions.
She had remembered every nook and cranny of the Mansion by now by constant glaring at its walls. The Mansion was impenetrable from the outside but there are loopholes even in the hives.
It could be penetrated from inside.
Li Yuan didn"t come home from the eventful day nor did she contact him. If he didn"t bother with her, she wouldn"t too, even if she was dying!
Lei Xinyi finished applying her makeup and walked out of the room, right down the stairs.
She really needed to get out, anywhere but out of this Mansion. The walls were creeping her out. She needed to, for her sanity.
Furthermore, if she couldn"t get out of here how would she meet Su Qianwei?
Seeing Lei Xinyi dressed and ready to leave, Butler Yang at once indicated the maids and Housekeeper and they stood on position.
"Miss, I would request you to retreat back to your room. Master had forbidden you from leaving the mansion." The Butler blocked her path.
Lei Xinyi eyes narrowed in anger and her lips twisted in a sinister smile. Every servant in this Mansion was trained. By her judgement, at least black belts.
What else you would you expect from a man who ruled the underworld, anyway!
And to add a cherry on a custard pie. They despised her! They were well trained, but Lei Xinyi could read their hardened eyes and stiff postures like an open book.
"Did I ask you anything?! Did I f*cking ask you if I was allowed or not?! Who are you and who is anybody to bound me to this brick wall?! I will f*cking do what I want!"
Lei Xinyi tried to push past him but he was a solid muscle-wall.
Although he didn"t budge but the maids closed all doors and windows and stood guard on them at once, with puffed chest and hands behind their back.
On ease position, like the military!
Lei Xinyi huffed in irritation. She thought if she played it cool and confident they would let her pa.s.s but they don"t even listen, how can they be manipulated!
Even if there were tens of her, she wouldn"t come out of the fight in one piece.
Lei Xinyi gave them her most vicious glare and looked at the closest antique and threw it, missing the butler head by half an inch.
The Butler didn"t even budge neither did his posture faltered.
Their nonchalance infuriated her as nothing had ever before. She threw everything her eyes landed on, some maids came forward to stop her but she kept going.
When her anger had subsided, the once magnificent view of the living room was trashed by the ruins of hundred years old antiques and imported vintage paintings.
Giving one last glare, she turned and retreated to her room. If he wanted her to stay here, she would make sure the place doesn"t stay stable enough to be lived in.
She went into their room and trashed it too.
In the centre of the room with everything torn, broken or ripped, she sat on the floor ungracefully as a tear slid down her left cheek.
Her silky hairs were cascading her face and her nails were chipped and hands scratched by ripping things.
When her rage had subsided the agony had surfaced.
Why couldn"t he understand that she hated being confined to walls? She told him she didn"t like it one bit then why wouldn"t he listen? It crept her and reminded her of things she really wanted to forget!
The door opened and closed softly. Lei Xinyi didn"t react. A gla.s.s of water was handed to her, she didn"t make the effort to accept it.
She didn"t need water, she needed alcohol!
Housekeeper Xu sat on the floor and sighed, "Miss, Young Master cares about you and the baby that is why he is protecting you. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have cared or bothered with your security." She said in a soft tone, pa.s.sing her tissues.
Lei Xinyi scoffed and let out a bitter laugh, "Care? That is no caring person that prevents you from living! And apart from that, wasn"t I living just Okay before my wedding date was set? When I wasn"t the one he "cared" about."
"Master must know something that you don"t. He cares and doesn"t want you to get harmed. You shouldn"t stress a lot, it"s not good for the baby." She softly said and tried to slide her hair behind her ear.
Lei Xinyi flinched backwards and snarled, "But his supposed "caring" is making me live in agony!"
Housekeeper Xu sighed with a pained smile, "Sometimes, people who care make you live in agony, to save you from getting...harmed in brutality."
Here she was left to rot and the woman was spouting nonsense on nonsense!
"That isn"t caring! That is selfishness! It is pure selfishness to put a curfew on me like that! I am nothing but a possession to him. A precious possession just like these things!" She looked with disgust at the broken things that cost millions.
She scoffed, "For all I know, he must be having the time of his life with some wh*re!" Lei Xinyi mocked with contempt laced in her every word.
Something flickered in Housekeeper Xu eyes before she lovingly patted her hand, "Ms. Lu, don"t say that. You know that isn"t true. Your carelessness had driven him out of here."
She hesitated then gave an awkward smile, "...You drank despite your pregnancy. That is all thanks to G.o.d that you and the baby are okay."
"Get out!" Lei Xinyi turned her head sharply to her and glared.
She was many things but a moron wasn"t on the list. A servant would always hum their Master"s tunes and they were loyal dogs!
"But Ms... What?!" The housekeeper was shocked and incredulously stared at her.
Lei Xinyi snorted. The woman really had confidence in her acting skills!
"I said, get out! Do you think I don"t know what you are doing? You are brainwas.h.i.+ng me to be his perfect Lalaloopsy doll!" Lei Xinyi snickered in a taunting way.
Housekeeper Xu dropped her good-cop facade at once and glared at her, stood up and left the room.
He sure as h.e.l.l bred some loyal dogs!
Lei Xinyi rolled her eyes at the irony. Half her life she had been conning people and this woman thought she could outsmart her!
She stood up and spit on the floor then turned to the bathroom.
As nothing was gained from the ruckus she caused. She may as well take a bubble bath while the maids would clean the mess she had made.
A smirk formed on her face dipped in pure glee. The sneaky snitch, Butler must be reporting her "crimes" now.
If "he" was going to be stressed then, he f*cking deserve it!
