Tempting flames.

Giving a small smile to Xiao Meng, Li Xue turned to face the woman who was so perfect at playing the victim card as if in the world the card was created so that someday she could play it. 

Her expressions were cold but she has purposely not put it in a too severe way to scare the lady away. At the moment, she doesn't want her to run away, rather wants to keep her rooted in her place so that later she could let her regret her play.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Li Xue? Do you think you could scare me?" Seeing Li Xue's gaze all fixed at herself, soon Yuan Yuan started to feel uncomfortably nervous. In her fit of nervousness, she almost lost her docile tone from before. But realization didn't strike her too late, she realized her mistake the moment her eyes caught the faintest curl on Li Xue's expression.
