Chapter 38 - A very thoughtful plan indeed.
Chapter 38 - A very thoughtful plan indeed.
"No!, let me go!", Chen Feng screamed as she tried to run away. But again, she was easily captured by Li Luxian as he grabbed her arm firmly and put his other arm behind her waist to keep her in place.
"Quit it! You are being childish"
"I said let me go!"
"No. We must do it today"
"Help! someone help!"
"There is no one here sweetheart and even if there was, he wouldn’t dare to stop me"
"You manipulative, treacherous bastard!"
"Whatever you call me, I won’t let you go tonight"
"Li Luxian, please. This is not a way to treat your newly wedded wife", Chen Feng changed her strategy to pleads when she realized her threats were fruitless.
Li Luxian tsked.
"This pitiful face trick is not going to work on me", he said as he continued to drag her into his parents home through the lawn where a great drama waited for them.
Chen Feng bit his arm.
"Ow!"
Li Luxian was caught off guard. Meanwhile, Chen Feng used the opportunity to run away.
"Stop wife!"
Chen Feng had barely taken a few steps when Li Luxian reached her in two huge big strides and captured her. She struggled fiercely this time with all her might making them to fall down on the cold, wet grass. Li Luxian grabbed her wrists in his one big hand and pinned them down all the while straddling her waist in an attempt to control his wife that had gone berserk.
Chen Feng, realizing that her struggle was useless now, once again resorted to pitiful look.
"Li Luxian. How about this? We don’t meet them today. We will meet them tomorrow. I’ll come with all the preparations!", Chen Feng said enthusiastically as she fervently tried to persuade her hubby by her words now that her movements were ceased.
By tomorrow, she will just simply fly away to another country never to come back again to avoid meeting them!
"This must be done today wife."
"There was no mention of being pulled in your family drama in the contract!", she objected giving rightful color to her argument.
"Some things come for granted and are not needed to be mentioned", Li Luxian said freeing her so that he could take her inside. They were already late. But as his grip loosened, she struggled once again. He tightened his hold.
"Do you like this position very much wife? We can always try it later in private", his said darkly as his voice deepened.
Only then Chen Feng stopped, embarrassed when she realized their compromising position. Her heart thumped loudly and her face burned. He was on top of her, straddling her and pinning her down. If anyone was to witness such a scenario, they would sure imagine a wide range of possibilities.
"That’s better", Li Luxian said satisfied and let her go noticing her submissive behavior.
"Why are you so scared? They are not going to eat you", he sat beside her.
"I just married their son behind their back!", Chen Feng said getting in a sitting position. Her voice was quiet and demure contradictory her previous loud one as she was mortified, "And they’ll definitely not welcome me with open arms!"
"So?", Li Luxian said, "I married you. You are my responsibility. Even if my whole family turns against you, you’ll have my full support and protection"
His assurance eased Chen Feng a little.
"Would they hate me?", she asked quietly what had been bothering her.
"My mother and brother will love you. My father might look strict but he will also support you. As for my grandparents, it will take time for them to accept you", Li Luxian replied truthfully. He extended his hand as his eyed gleamed affectionately, "Come with me. I’ll never let anyone harm you"
Chen Feng took a deep breath.
"Alright I’ll go", she said and grabbed his hand.
The warmth radiated through his firm, soft hand soothe her fidgets and filled her with inexplicable strength. Li Luxian smiled at her and pulled her to him as they walked to the inside of the manor, side by side.
"Li Luxian thank God you are here", Li Fu Tong said.
In the big hall, there were a lot of people gathered. Chen Feng could recognize Wang Hualing, Wang Zhihao, Li Luixian grandparents and his parents. And she paled. The instant she regretted coming with him.
"Didn’t you say that there will only be your parents and brother", Chen Feng whispered screamed to Li Luxian.
"When did I say that?", Li Luxian denied shamelessly.
Chen Feng: "..."
"Don’t worry I’ve got a plan", Li Luxian said noticing Chen Feng’s face turning bad.
"I’ve decided with Wang Zhihao that your wedding with Wang Hualing will be arranged for this week and I’ll personally make preparations", Li Fu Tong declared grumpily in a tune that was irrefutable ignoring Chen Feng presence.
Chen Feng further paled.
"I’ll not listen to you delay this wedding any further for random excuses", Li Fu Tong said in a severe tone.
Chen Feng almost fainted.
Li Luxian squeezed her hand to comfort her.
"Sure grandfather", Li Luxian said cheerfully.
Elder Li felt satisfied. He thought that he must have to reprimand his grandson a lot to make him agree but with Li Luxian agreeing readily, a lot of trouble was saved.
"But first let me introduce my wife to you"
Everyone was taken aback.
Chen Feng: "..."
Was it his plan? To declare her his wife with an explosion?
A very sensible plan indeed.
