The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 32 - You're Beautiful

Sleep with him…

Lu Mengjie was caught off-guard by his second condition. She furrowed her brows and a pout formed on her lips. Sleep with him? That was something she could not give him no matter how attracted she was to him.

She replied with a straight answer, "I can't."

"Why not?" She has a harem of her own so he was expecting her to be open when it came to sex but instead, he noticed the shyness that appeared in her eyes.

"I'm not married and we're not dating."

He ended up raising a brow at her upon hearing such a reply from her. "But you have a harem."

"That doesn't mean that I sleep with every man I recruit. They are my collection; they only serve me by showing their handsome faces to me. I do not date them or have any kind of sexual relationship," she explained. "Their duty is to make me happy by showing their beautiful faces to me. I don't prohibit my men from dating or from having a romantic relationship with other women but I want them to be loyal to me. Since I recruited them and I pay for everything they need, they have to work for me. I need their loyalty since they are also my employees. I want to be surrounded by my beautiful men but that doesn't mean that I want them on my bed."

A cunning smirk appeared on his lips as he continued, "then tell me, Ms Lu. Being the head means that I am to be at the same level as you, right? But to become the head also means that man must be someone you want to marry. Basically, you're planning to use me. You're planning on giving me a temporary position since I am just a replacement to the man that you already have in mind, correct?"

Ah shit… how can this man be smart? Lu Mengjie averted her eyes away in guilt since he was right. He was just a replacement. She was planning to double-cross him when she told him that she would make him the head of her harem.

"So what is the name of the man that I'm going to replace?" The playfulness in his eyes disappeared and was changed into an oppressing look which sent shivers down her spine. The man didn't look godly at all, instead, he looked like a devil who was about to play his cards on her.

Lu Mengjie realized the trouble she got herself into. This man was not to be jest with. Despite that… she still wanted him. She was just this persistent whenever she wanted something… or someone. She refused to back down without a fight, she was her mother's daughter after all. She looked at him with a serious gaze in her eyes.

"I don't have a relationship with him."

"So why can't you sleep with me? Is it because you're not only inexperienced but also a virgin?"

In an instant, Lu Mengjie's face turned as red as a tomato. The fearless, shameless woman earlier was gone and was replaced by a bashful girl making the man look at her in surprise and disbelief.

He was able to connect the dots so easily. She has no relationship with the men in her harem and with the man she loved. She was not willing to have sex unless she's dating the man or she's married to him. She hasn't said that she was dating the man she loved. If she did, she should have told him that they broke up instead of not having a relationship with him. It was just his speculation, he could still be wrong so he asked the question to satisfy his curiosity but who would have thought that he was correct?

"So what if I'm a virgin? It's not like staying a virgin for this long is a sin," she huffed.

"It is not a sin but…you're beautiful. How were you able to avoid having sex?" He inquired probingly.

"Because…" she paused and tried to think about it. "I can?" She continued, her answer was rather dubious.

"Why?"

"I have an extreme amount of patience?"

He ran his hand through his hair as he came into realization. "I see. You're saving yourself for that man but… why hasn't he swept you off your feet?"
