"Are you nervous darling?" Xiu asked him provocatively and leaned near his face.
Lu Jian was assessing her. This new bold and confident wife is really up to his liking.
Xiu noticed the flames of desire in his eyes and pulled him on the bed. Xiu was lying on top of Lu Jian and could feel all the lines on his body. Her face has a naughty smile which shocked Lu Jian. "I should ask some question then if you are not able to start." This was his first time seeing this woman so audacious and she says she is not the other girl. He can't believe that a person can change this much after waking up from the coma.
He liked that naughty smirk on her face and wanted to see her different expression so he turned around and now Xiu was lying down and Lu Jian has the upper hand.
"You may ask now? It is more comfortable for me." Lu Jian smirked to see her flustered appearance. He knew there will be a change in her reactions if he will do something unexpected. Lu Jian wanted to see her different expression it was like a fetish to him now to see all these lively expressions.
Xiu was flustered for once but then she controlled her emotions. "The famous conglomerate enjoys being on top hmm. This is news for your fans." Zhen Xiu teased him. "I wonder how your mom will react if she saw this side of yours? I bet she would be disappointed that it's me rather than Shen Rui."
Lu Jian tightened his hold on her slim waist and lean closer to her left ear and murmur in his soft voice. "No, she would love to play with some grandchildren"
Zhen Xiu's smile cracked for a bit but then she recovered her composure in a blink of an eye and locked her hands around Lu Jian's neck. "I would love to see you try. First, we need to discuss your feelings. So don't even think about leaving this room until you give me all those answers."
Lu Jian gave her a cool look but instead of being scared and avoiding his eyes she looked straight at him. Those dark black eyes were challenging him and at the same time provoking him to not heed her words. It caused a sensation in his heart, the fluttering feeling feels good, unlike that night when she was crying after coming from the hospital.
The change in her is tremendous that she is dazzling like a star and challenging his limits but instead of being angry he feels rather good. Again a first, his cold bleak life finally has some colors.
"You are playing with fire. There is nothing going in between me and Shen Rui. So don't listen to that brat of a friend of yours."
"Shen Ya is not a brat beside your mom is the reason that I feel that you have something with her. Besides, why are we talking about her? We need to discuss your behavior, Lu Jian."
This time Xiu didn't flirt with him and asked in a serious tone. She wanted to make it clear from the start so that her approach would not hurt anyone.
She understands that why her other selfish soul attacked her and all her insecurities but she also knows this point that her other half is not 100% right in her thinking. Her mindset must be different while approaching him and the various things she did so that Lu Jian may like her. Xiu respects her love for this cold man but will not behave like those stupid girls who have endless sympathy for people when they hear this kind of one-sided love story.
Xiu believes that everyone needs a last chance in their life so she would not blame anyone here for the things that had happened until now. She has not even retailed against her parents back then because they had given her life so she allowed them to do anything for the life she owed them but if she would again get a chance to take revenge against them then she will definitely make their life hell.
Lu Jian sits straight and after an awkward silence, he started explaining.
"There is no specific reason. This is how I am. You wanted to marry me so you can't blame me for not loving you. If you were in my condition how will you react? I was not the one who came to you. It was like a business transaction for me. You made a deal with grandpa and he made a deal with me. So it was not so weird to understand. I never made things difficult for you and neither helped you because I knew that you love me. Do you really think that you would be alive now if I had not allowed it? You were good so I just left you alone."
Xiu was speechless to hear this sweet and short reply. Note her sarcasm. He really is a cold-hearted businessman. All the pain and suffering the original suffered was really because she loved this kind of man. Well can't blame him too he was also not interested in the first place.
"Why did you want to divorce me then if you were not inhumane?" she raised her brows at him. "You didn't care that I was a patient who woke up from her coma. I needed support and care."
"As I said this is me and I was helping you to get out from here. I thought that you would have understood by now that no one wants you here, not even the person you love. You can call me harsh, indifferent and cruel but it was all that I could do for you." Lu Jian told her honestly. "Besides there is no one who truly cares about you except Shen Ya so I was just trying to help you move from here because frankly, I didn't care if I am married to you or not as it didn't affect my life at all."
Xiu was once again rendered speechless by his honest words and thought about a moment and wanted to kick her other half in her head how was she so damn stupid?
If she had loved her family like this then I would really be happy with her decision but all I can say is she has wasted her own life due to her stupid fantasy because clearly, the person who doesn't care about his mother's love is not even qualified to preach about love.
If she didn't love the person who gave her birth, who cared for her and protected her from everything then she is not even qualified to say that she understands the love between man and woman.
Forget it Xiu. It might be because of all the stupid and deranged thinking was carried by her and you got the sensible part. I should not be that harsh on her. I will definitely comply with her wish.
"What about now?" Xiu asked him.
"Now I want to give this relationship a try and I am not forcing you to accept my newfound feelings but ask for time and patience so that I can show you my sincerity."
Lu Jian expressed his thoughts and Xiu pondered about it. She was just pretending in front of him actually she was so happy that she wanted to dance like crazy.
The ice-cold sculpture is asking for a chance. This ridiculously handsome and delicious candy wants to wait upon this princess. The thought itself is amazing and now this is truly happening how could she not be happy?
She was glad, extremely glad to have her first consort.
[He is not your consort but a husband] zoru corrected this dreaming princess who can only think about the handsome man and gruesome killing.
(It is the same thing. Why are you being jealous? Don't worry this princess can still support you, my boy.)
Zoru blushed on the spot. He really wanted to dig a hole and hide from this master. How can she be so unscrupulous?
With a heavy expression, she finally gave a nod to Lu Jian.
"If that's what you want." She said in a soft voice concealing that foxy gleam in her eyes.
What patience and sincerity? Can they be eaten? She wants to eat him and this meal is serving itself on a golden platter then how could she reject it?
