Chapter 107 – Not Allowed To Fall In Love (2)

"Why wouldn't it?"

This question made Qu Xing Xu pause his mind before he suddenly leaned forward.

His hand supported his body as he leaned forward enough to bring his face close to hers. He had the image of a rich noble son bullying a young girl.

Lin Xiaofei was surprised by his sudden movement and could only lean backward but the wall behind her enabled her to lean further back.

Before she could hit her head on the wooden walls of the carriage, Qu Xing Xu's hand shot forward and held the back of her head to prevent it from hitting the wall.

Lin Xiaofei was startled at this and wanted to sit upright but with him leaning forward, she found herself torn apart whether to lean on the wooden wall or to sit down properly.

And instead of pulling back and going back to his original sitting position which was on the other side of the wooden wall, Qu Xing Xu didn't take his hand off the back of her head and stayed in place.

He stared at her for a short while before she heard him speak..

"You asked me why?" Asked Qu Xing Xu who had one corner of his lips pulled upward.

With their faces so close, Lin Xiaofei creased her eyebrows before nodding. She found that no sound was coming out of her lips when she tried to open it.

After she nodded, she then heard him say: "Because you're not allowed to fall in love with other men."

"And why is that?"

"Because they're not me." Came his quick answer.

Lin Xiaofei let out a short laugh or more like a scoff. She couldn't believe what he had just said before she glared at him.

"Do you have no shame?" Lin Xiaofei asked him. She can't just keep going with his eccentric behavior or else she might lose her mind and murder him before she could step onto the gates of the Qu residence.

"Interestingly, shame has never been part of my vocabulary." At least not when he's around her, "So, no. I don't." He said.

Lin Xiaofei frowned at him and raised her hand to push him back but he suddenly took her hand inside his other hand, stopping her from pushing him.

"What I mean is… For as long as you are acting as my fiance and soon, my wife. We will act like a loving couple inside and outside my home whether you like it or not as we have already signed the contract." Qu Xing Xu added on before letting her hand go. "Falling for someone else will not only break our contract but also disrupt our plans."

Upon being reminded of their contract, Lin Xiaofei found his words were making sense. Aside from the servant named Gu Yan, the fact that their engagement is just a sham was hidden from everyone else.

Not even Lin Xiaomeng nor the people in the Qu residence know of the existence of their contract thus, wherever it is, they have to act lovingly to perfect the image of a lovely couple to trick everyone else.

Of course, when they were alone, there was no need for them to continue their act.

Moreover, their plans still haven't taken their places and Lin Xiaofei couldn't afford backing out now when she's wasted a lot of time just because of the matters of her marriage.

They ended up adding this term to their contract when Qu Xing Xu visited last time to deliver the dowries. Since Lin Xiaofei's past conduct and reputation weren't on the bright side, in order for them to fool everyone else to think that Lin Xiaomeng forced Qu Xing Xu to marry her.

Like who would believe it anyway? Even her maids and the boy named Kael thought that she forced Qu Xing Xu and might have taken something precious from him thus, he had to propose marriage to her.

That is why Lin Xiaofei was the first one to propose this term in the contract to erase everyone's suspicions and believe that they indeed fell in love with each other at first sight.

And although Lin Xiaofei was the first one to propose it, Qu Xing Xu was bursting in enthusiasm when he heard her say that. Like, who wouldn't want to pretend madly in love with the woman he fancied?

Forget about pretending, Qu Xing Xu didn't have to act as his actions towards her were enough to tell that he had really fallen hard for her.

"Alright. You don't have to remind me again." She said after thinking. "However, I don't think we need to act right now where there is no one."

Qu Xing Xu had a look of shock in his eyes as he said, "How can there be no one? The driver is just a wall away from us."

Lin Xiaofei: "…"

Outside the carriage again, Gu Yan felt like choking someone. He had been fed dog food these past several days from his master whose shamelessness knows no limits.

Ever since he became Qu Xing Xu's aide, he had never seen him acting like this around women. With his noble title and blood, every woman would fall on his feet and try their best to charm him and yet, Qu Xing Xu would only spare them a glance or smile at them once before turning away without looking back.

Gu Yan truly had never believed that Qu Xing Xu would love someone. He could admire a lady but he doubted that he could love any woman to the point that he would even reach far to get the gemstone that was the hardest to find and pay almost a million gold coins to retrieve it safely and shape it into a form of a flower.

Not only that, but Qu Xing Xu also went so far as to strike his hand out to the royal family or more specifically, the Empress.

Sighing, Gu Yan could only wish that Lin Xiaofei will manage to see his master's deception and tricks or else, no matter if there was a written and signed contract, Qu Xing Xu won't let her go.
