The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 82 - The Duke's Twisted Desire

? Qu Xing Xu glared at her like he was going to bite her head off. His aura was intimidating and made Lin Xiaofei scrunch up her brows.

She tried to move her wrist but his grip was tight and strong that she could already see her wrist having marks later.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him as if she forgot that she has been looking for him these past three days.

"I should be the one asking that." Said Qu Xing Xu who didn't let her wrist go.

After Qu Xing Xu left the Hong Pei Lou, he immediately rushed to get to the Lin residence. Despite the distance between the two places, he still managed to cut down the minutes he arrived at the Lin residence using his skills in martial arts to arrive early.

He was initially planning to see her after she finished eating and after her maids left but Lin Xiaofei let her maids sit with her. Qu Xing Xu decided to hide behind the folding screen where he saw Lin Xiaofei change her clothes and wanted to watch and wait for the maids to get out of the room so he could come out..

But who knew that Lin Xiaofei decided to start a show for him to see. He didn't expect that not only did she let her maids eat with her, she actually poured poison in the soup and wanted her maids to drink it.

He was stunned by her actions and words that even his heart couldn't help but beat faster in anticipation.

When Lin Xiaofei stopped her maids, he was slightly disappointed but the thought that Lin Xiaofei was only scaring her maids and the poison was not a real poison made him think that he should do this to his subordinates too to test their loyalty to him.

And when Lin Xiaofei's maids left the room, Qu Xing Xu was about to get out of the folding screen but when he saw her bringing the soup to her soft lips, his body moved faster than he thought.

He smacked the bowl away from her and took hold of her wrist. Even Qu Xing Xu was amazed by his actions and when he saw a glimpse of the silver chopstick turning black, he felt as if his heart came out of his ribcage.

He didn't expect that the poison was real!

His tone got even colder as he spoke, "What are you planning to do just now?"

Staring at him with calm and with indifference, Lin Xiaofei looked down at the spilled soup on the floor and said, "Nothing."

"Nothing?" He almost scoffed at her, "You forced your maids to drink it and if I hadn't been here, you would also drink it."

Lin Xiaofei suddenly felt like he was acting strangely and frowned. She suddenly had the realization and glared at him, "You were watching this whole time?"

At her question and with her eyes glaring at him, Qu Xing Xu paused. He didn't expect that their position would be reversed and Lin Xiaofei was the one who demanded an answer from him.

Lin Xiaofei felt a headache coming as she couldn't believe how bold and shameless this man was. The first time he came uninvited in her room, she forgave him for it since he offered to give her money but he actually dared to sneak in her room again?!

She tried to calm her mind but when suddenly, her whole body was pulled to stand up.

"Qu Xing Xu!" She scolded as two large hands pressed down on her shoulders and she was pushed to walk towards a door.

"You touched the poison just now and it might be still in your body. It is better for you to wash your body to get rid of the poison." Lin Xiaofei suddenly had the urge to kill someone today. Qu Xing Xu was the perfect definition of shameless and wicked in her mind.

Thinking about it, the times she spent with him, she knew that he was different from everyone else. His lineage and status were above everyone else but it seems that even his personality was beyond her understanding.

The way he pushed her to the next room beside her bedroom whee the bathtub was, Qu Xing Xu seemed to have the intention to help her wash her body and it angered her even more.

His voice was also filled with concern but who knew what kind of objective does he have when he wanted her to take a bath.

"I can go by myself!" She said, her anger was contained inside a glass bottle. How can she let him help her take a bath?

Qu Xing Xu sighed, he walked around her to face her and raised his arms. His sleeve fluttered in his action and he said with grievances, "But I'd also like to wash my robe since the soup got into it."

Lin Xiaofei blinked at his words. She looked at his sleeves and indeed, there was a part that the soup got splash into it. It seems that when he tried to stop her and the bowl of soup fell on the ground, it somehow splashed on his sleeve.

"Then, just change into a new robe." She suggested. She wished she had never involved herself with this man that was as shameless as the concubines in the palace.

"That's also a good idea but what if my arm touched my sleeve?" He stared at her. He was expecting her to blow up and beat him up for using this reason to enter the room and help her wash up.

Just imagining her hitting him and forcing him to drink the poison, Qu Xing Xu was filled with anticipation and delight. His twisted desire for her to do that to him was not left unnoticed by Lin Xiaofei.

She looked at him with unrestrained disgust and as if he was some kind of bug that got onto her shoulder.

Shaking her head, she suddenly thought that whoever ends up marrying this man or whoever this man falls in love with will not have a good life to look forward to.
