The Twisted Two: The Feisty And The Docile 132 Strained

"Where are we heading?" Lei Xinyi asked when the car was speeding on the road.

The car was thankfully now on a civilized area. Looking at the bustling people on the streets she strangely felt safe.

He wasn't taking her to an abandoned building to kill her in the bas.e.m.e.nt then lock her corpse in the wardrobe pieces by pieces for rejecting him!

The medicine did relieve her of her headache and stab wound pain but she was strangely feeling light-headed with pa.s.sing time.

Lei Xinyi brushed it off because it could very well be because of the blood that was leaving her body.

She had to get home as fast as possible, blood was leaving her body and there was a chance that her wound could be infected.

She must not be the best at directions but she could tell they weren't heading to the office or the Lu mansion for sure.

Li Yuan glanced at her worry itch face briefly.

Although he was furious with her but it was neither time nor place. They were heading to a far graver menace to worry about lovers' quarrels.

"You will see." He replied in a clipped tone and went back to ignoring her.

Lei Xinyi was taken aback but she knew better than to expect anything better.

She let out a heavy sigh and wished she could bang her head against the window to end her misery of life.

After driving for two hours straight, LI Yuan entered the car in big black metal gates.

There were too many men in black guarding the perimeter and the gates but none dared to approach them but bowed in the direction of their car.

Lei Xinyi looked up and saw a magnificent Victorian-style Mansion standing with all the regality it was worthy of.

It was bigger than any Mansion she had ever seen!

The surrounding was ethereal. But you could feel the heavy atmosphere.

The place was a cold beauty one that lured men to lose themselves to greed.

Lei Xinyi had never seen anything like this place. The place spoke of the brutality it offered despite such a beautiful upfront.

She was going to ask Li Yuan where they were when her eyes landed on the family emblem on the Mansion top.

A White panther with gold intricate designs around.

It was the Li Family Family emblem and it should be... the Li's Ancestral Estate.

Lei Xinyi went pale and her eyes widened. She was visibly shaking and it had nothing to do with her bleeding stab wound.

At once she wished that he was really taking her to an abandoned building to make a corpse out of her.

It was better if he was going to dump her in h.e.l.l than bring her here. For walking to your own doom, a person had to be a moron.

It was literally the devil's lair, she didn't know why he was bringing her here but it was definitely not for a merry dine.

Li Yuan opened the door of the car and coldly said, "Get out!"

Lei Xinyi frantically held his arm, "I want to go home, Li Yuan ple...please. I don't want to go there. Please don't take me there."

There were unshed tears that were br.i.m.m.i.n.g in her already swollen eyes and her voice was trembling and breaking.

Even in this devastating condition, she looked ravis.h.i.+ng. Her wild aura was covered with a heavy coating of delicacy and innocence.

She looked breakable.

Li Yuan saw her reaction and let out a heavy sigh.

Lei Xinyi was never that expressive, always headstrong, and stubborn. A woman who pretended to fear nothing that is breathing.

But he understood why her emotions were in overdrive right now. The medicine had taken its effect, he could see it.

He didn't want to trick her like this but he had to if he wanted her breathing.

He turned to her and gave her what she needed the most. A hug.

Then when he pulled apart, he held her close, "Listen carefully, because I am not saying that twice. I want you to be brave for me, I will protect you. I just need you to believe me and stay low. Can you do that for me?"

Forgetting all her resentment and agitation Lei Xinyi nodded like in a trance.

Li Yaun could tell she was a little dazed but once she is calm she will be back to normal. He had given a small dose but it was bound to show symptoms like that.

The medicine was messing with her head and he's thankful she wasn't shouting like a maniac.

It was better to see her face strained with tears than with blood.

He will stay with her. He will keep her safe. She would trust him for this one time.
