Chereads / Madam Lu / Chapter 26 - Hope

Chapter 26 - Hope

At the airport, Lu Ye Ze had just landed and was walking fast, making long leg strides, towards his car. He Mufeng was struggling to keep up with him.

"I want a full report about his visit, I want to know what he was doing and what he was thinking, every second he spent at the manor" Commanded the infuriated man. He sent chills down Mufeng's spine, he missed a step and almost fell to the ground. With a shaky voice he commenced his report. The only portion that was missing was the sentence he addressed to the Madam.

Lu Ye Ze furrowed his brows, the atmosphere around him drooped a few more degrees and his face shifted. How does he dare to mess with his woman. By now Lu Ye Ze had started to understand a bit his feelings, especially after this moment. Although he didn't exactly knew what it was, he felt a strong sense of protection, towards the girl and every time she wasn't around him, his heart panged... he missed her, but when she was around him, he needed the will and strength of hundred bulls to control himself and his urge of devouring her entirely.

In a shorter amount of time than usual, the car has reached the entrance of the manor. Lu Ye Ze didn't wait for the driver to open the door, he did it himself and rushed inside the house.

"Where is she?" The man asked Butler Gu who was rushing towards the entrance to open the door for him, but he was too late. The man was already inside and he was taking off, his windbreaker.

"In the library..." Replied Butler Gu while Lu Ye Ze handed him his jacket and scarf. The man went upstairs towards the library.

Jo was on the ladder, looking at the international science section, she had just found it the other day and wanted to get a book from the far left corner, she barely could reach it. A bit more... a bit more... the girl was talking to her self, when suddenly her foot slipped on the ladder and she felt the weight of her body being pulled down by an immense force called gravity. Before the impact with the floor, a warm embrace caught her mid-air.

Jo had her eyes tightly closed waiting for pain to envelop her body, but she didn't felt pain, she felt something warm and fragrant... someone has caught her and was holding her. Jo opened her eyes and she met the man's deep and mesmerising gaze. She was stunned, he was panting gently and was looking at her intently.

Lu Ye Ze, saw the stunned expression on the girl's face and couldn't control his urge anymore. He bent his head down and kissed the girl's lips. His kiss became deeper and stronger, suckling her tongue and lips, turning them purple. The startled girl didn't had time to process what had happened to her and she felt suffocated by the man's burning kiss, she choked and started coughing violently. The man sat her down on the leather sofa and patted her back gently.

"Silly... don't you know how to breathe?"

"Seriously?! This is what you ask me after you sucked the soul out of my body?"

The man chuckled lightly hearing the girl's reply. Her flustered face, made him want to continue but he didn't want to scare her anymore, after last time she avoided him for days.

"How have you been these days" The man asked.

Jo was speechless, she had never talked normally with this guy, this moment felt like she was in a romantic movie, or a fairy-tale. She was Rapunzel, locked in a tower and when she fell down from her tower, her prince had caught her and kissed her deeply. No, no... no she was more like Belle, who was locked by the prince himself, he was a ruthless beast, but slowly he showed his carrying side towards her.

"What are you thinking about?" The man asked again when he saw the girl in a daze and didn't reply to his first question.

Jo coughed lightly a few more times and said "Nothing... nothing, I was just catching my breath"

"So... your answer to my first question?"

Jo was puzzled, what had he asked her? She was engrossed in her fairy-tale character, that she had forgotten what he had asked. Seeing the girl getting flustered again, Lu Ye Ze leaned closer to her and said in a deep, hoarse and seductive voice. "Then, do you want me to continue?" Her flowery perfume caught him by surprise and without waiting for the girl's reply, his lips landed on hers, kissing them gently this time. Jo realised what he was doing to her again and pushed him away instantly.

"Haven't you had enough?!" Asked the girl sarcastically

"No!" the man said, then grabbed her hands and pushed her down on the sofa, kissing her deeply.

Jo knew she would be forced again, so she did some research in advance and learned a few moves. She had her hands in his hand lock above her head, so she interlocked her fingers and pushed her wrists outwards using all her force. She managed to break free from his grip. Her legs were pinned by his knees again, so she twisted her torso, embraced him and flipped him over. She was a bit unstable, but she managed to topple him over.

Lu Ye Ze was surprised by the girl's action, he grabbed her by her hips, stabilising her on top of him and said.

"Haha... I didn't knew you liked to be on top. I don't mind!" He then grabbed the girl by the back of her head, with his wide palm and kissed her biting her bottom lip".

He didn't mind? She minded, in fact she minded a lot. Jo was dumbfounded, she suddenly realised that this type of fighting technique, wasn't suitable for this kind of situations, it had rather got her into more trouble, she was at a loss again. Jo felt that his bottom part has gotten hard and jolted up, she pushed him down and broke free from his embrace, then ran out of the library as fast as she could.

The man got up from the sofa looking smug. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and chuckled softly. He then went to the bathroom to relieve himself.

In her room, Jo was running out of defence methods against this man, she needed to find a way of dealing with him and delay the inevitable as long as she could. She still had a very tiny silver of hope, that someday she would escape from here.
