Chapter 112 - Perfect Scenario
Chapter 112 – Perfect Scenario
Lin Xiaofei's wide eyes stared back at the pairs of eyes staring at them with a similar expression on their faces, their mouths were wide open, to which Lin Xiaofei found hilariously ridiculous. She tried to push Qu Xing Xu's chest as she tried to get off of him but the latter didn't let her.
An amused glint was in his eyes as he watched her struggling to get off his lap. He was certainly having fun seeing her being troubled.
Lin Xiaofei kept on struggling but after a minute, she decided to stop as it seems that her efforts were futile against this man underneath her.
"Elder Gao, what's the matter with all of you? Didn't you know I don't like being disturbed?" He said as he spared the old men standing next to the door of the carriage.
Elder Gao didn't know what to say after hearing that. Was he supposed to answer him or was he supposed to ask the questions here?
Staring at the beautiful young lady on the lap of their young Duke, Elder Gao made up his mind.
"I apologize.. I didn't know that there is a great matter of importance taking place inside." Elder Gao quickly apologized.
Elder Gao pushed the stunned elders behind him and closed the door. Their faces were blushing but fear was the first thing they felt after seeing the threat that Qu Xing Xu's eyes used to stare at them.
They were clearly in the wrong here for intruding.
But how were they supposed to know that the young Duke was being obscene inside his carriage instead of reading reports!
Glaring at Gu Yan, Elder Gao put all the blame to the close aide of the young Duke for not stopping them.
On the other hand, once the door to the carriage was closed, Lin Xiaofei glared at Qu Xing Xu who was grinning slyly back at her.
"You heard them, didn't you?" Lin Xiaofei pursed her lips as she tried to contain her anger. She refused to believe that he hadn't heard the elderly men who opened the door with his sharp ears.
"Heard them?" Qu Xing Xu tilted his head slightly, looking a little bit confused at her accusation albeit already understanding what she meant with her question.
"You knew they were coming and yet, you-!" Lin Xiaofei didn't continue her words as she felt his finger on her lips.
"Shh." Qu Xing Xu hushed her and said, "Isn't this the perfect scenario to make them believe that we're a couple who are both crazily in love with each other?" He explained. Taking advantage of their terms to ease her anger.
Lin Xiaofei rolled her eyes and whispered against his finger, "Perfect scenario? By letting them think that we are doing something inappropriate?"
"Inappropriate? I don't understand what do you mean by that." Qu Xing Xu continued to feign ignorance. "Would you please kindly elucidate what you mean by inappropriate?"
Lin Xiaofei clenched her hand.
Not being able to contain her anger anymore, she raised her hand to slap him but Qu Xing Xu caught her wrist before her hand could make contact with his face.
Ahh… It seems that his little tigress is starting to claw at him now. Qu Xing Xu mused inside his mind.
"Qu Xing Xu, please don't forget that we're only doing this for our plans and nothing more. So, don't create troubles for me." Lin Xiaofei hissed and tried to make sense with him.
She could clearly tell that he was having fun in this situation. She couldn't help but regret to put the term that they should act as a lovely couple in front of people when she's being played like this by Qu Xing Xu!
Fairly enough, what Qu Xing Xu said made sense. With their display earlier, no one could deny that the two of them were in love with each other. It's just that, she couldn't accept the method that Qu Xing Xu decided to use.
Besides, she could feel her body shivering at the thought of what other methods he had under his sleeves to prove to others that they were indeed madly in love with each other.
When her words entered Qu Xing Xu's ears, he wasn't happy that he was being reminded that they were bound by their contract. Leaning forward and taking her hand in his, Qu Xing Xu put a light kiss on top of the back of her hand.
Lin Xiaofei, who wanted to take her hand back initially didn't know what to do, her heart skipping a beat when she felt his lips on her skin.
"Don't worry, I will make sure that no trouble will make its way towards you." Lin Xiaofei wanted to speak that the trouble she was speaking of wasn't what he was talking about, but Qu Xing Xu was faster to say, "You're going to be my bride soon. Fear nothing as I will be there for you."
Lin Xiaofei silently stared at him and didn't know what to say after what he had said to her. His words were like a binding spell on her, keeping her from running away.
She didn't even know if Qu Xing Xu said that because of the contract or did he utter those words out of what he really was feeling which was unbelievable to Lin Xiaofei.
She stared at him for a good few seconds before tearing her eyes away from him. However, because of her little actions and not hearing any rejection from her lips, Qu Xing Xu smiled brightly.
At least for now, his little bride has started to accept him.
"Shall we go?" Qu Xing Xu asked her after a few seconds of silence passed inside the carriage.
Nodding her head, Lin Xiaofei finally could get off him after he let her stand by herself. Her thoughts weren't visible on her face as she kept it hidden inside her heart.
Without wasting time, the two of them stepped out of the carriage.
