Why was it that every time she was around this man, she was never able to properly explain herself and was left second guessing her own decisions?! And what did he mean by finishing what she started? He was the one who grabbed her onto himself! He was the one who didn\'t let go of her! He was the one with the sharp thing sticking up!

Bai Qingyue\'s eyes darkened into a wolfish amber shade as he adjusted himself into a sitting position, his unmistakable state of arousal evident by the large bulge between his legs. \'This bad wife still thinks she can escape me?\'

Without wasting any more time, he clutched a hand to his bare chest and made a show of continuously coughing for a good minute.

He was the perfect image of an aggrieved damsel and she, the unfeeling brute.

"So now that you\'ve had your way with me," He coughed twice, "you see me at my lowest point and no longer find me attractive. My wife wants to leave me…"

Zhu Qingyue\'s debilitated condition pulled at her heartstrings. Li Meirong put on a helpless look, her resolution wavered. \'Why am I always the villain?!\'

The finger aimed at the ailing man trembled. She hurried to explain herself, "That\'s not what I meant! You\'re very handsome, and I\'m not changing my mind because I think you\'re weak! When I told you I would care for you, I didn\'t mean for you to move into my house, nor to marry you."

Prior to answering, Bai Qingyue side-eyed his subordinate. The small snow fox crouching in the corner was no longer concealing his interest in The Lord\'s private conversation. Bai Yu stared bug-eyed, witnessing for the first time what an unscrupulous liar His Lordship actually was.

The Lord may have been a mischievous prankster in his younger days, but he had always been unfailingly honourable! Who was this immoral devil?! What happened to the dignified lord?!

Bai Yu hadn\'t managed to get over his shock before he felt a piercing heat zapping him. The smell of charred fur had him turning his head around, only to see his tail had caught on fire!

During the time Bai Qingyue was conversing with Li Meirong, he had sent a streak of Foxfire to roast Bai Yu!

The small snow fox silently prayed for Her Ladyship\'s wellbeing before dashing out of the cabin, completely undetected. \'Stay strong, M\'lady!\'
