Shit! I couldn't believe he'd said that.
Of course, I knew what was expected on a wedding night, but I'd almost convinced myself that he wasn't interested in me that way at all.
"But…You called me a child last time."
Yeah. I couldn't believe he'd said that.
"But you aren't a child anymore," He said with a predatory smirk.
His lips were less than an inch from mine.
"You're making this really hard. Since I can't kiss you yet, you shouldn't have to look at me like that, my lady."
"Then maybe I should give you that look on our wedding night," I challenged.
"Then maybe I'll have to take you from behind so I don't have to see it."
My face fell and I stumbled away, my back colliding with the wall.
He shook his head.
"Don't be afraid. I was just joking," he said quietly.
"I'm not a devil's."
"Aren't you?" I asked.
His expression hardened and he straightened, drawing up to his full height again. I regretted my words, even though they were the truth.
"I wanted to discuss the matter of your protection with you," he said in an emotionless, formal voice.
"Once you move into my penthouse after the wedding, Fang and Xu will be responsible for your safety. But I want Xu at your side until then."
"I have Martial Zhen already," I protested, but he shook his head.
"Apparently, he's taking too many toilet breaks. But Xu won't leave your side from now on."
"Will he watch me when I shower too?"
"If I want him to." He said.
I raised my chin, trying to quench my anger.
"You would let another man see me naked? You must really trust Xu not to take advantage of the situation."
He eyes blazed.
"Xu is loyal man."
Fu Shao leaned close.
"Don't worry I'll be the only man to ever see you naked. I can't wait."
His eyes travelled over my body.
I crossed my arms over my chest and averted my eyes.
"What about Qinli? Both Qina and Qinli share this suite with me. You saw how Qinli can be. She will flirt with Xu. So she will do anything to get a rise out of him. She doesn't realize what she could get herself into. I need to know that she's safe."
"Xu won't touch your sisters. Even Qinli is playing around. She's a little girl for him, Xu only likes his women of age and willing."
And you don't?
Ops. I almost asked but swallowed the words and nodded instead.
My eyes darted toward my bed. This was a horrible reminder of what would happen soon.
"There's something else. Are you taking the Medication yet?"
Colour drained from my face as I stared at him.
"Of course not."
He scrutinized me with unsettling calm.
"Your mother could have made you start it in preparation for the wedding."
I was pretty sure I was going to have a nervous breakdown any moment.
"My mother would never do that. She won't even talk to me about these things."
He raised one eyebrow.
"But you do know what happens between a man and a woman in a wedding night?"
