As Qinli was already kneeling on the armchair, watching Xu in attentive.
And Qina eyes flitted down to my hand.
"What's this?"
"Birth control."
"Don't tell me that asshole gave it to you just now so he can screw you on your wedding night."
I pressed my lips together.
"You aren't going to take them, right?"
"I have to. It won't stop him if I don't. He'll only be angry."
Qina shook her head, but I gave her a pleading look.
"I don't want to argue with you, Qina. Let's watch a movie, okay? I really need the distraction."
After a moment, she nodded. We picked out a random movie, but it was difficult to focus with Xu guarding us.
"Are you going to stand there all night?" I asked eventually.
"You're making me nervous. Can't you sit down at least?"
He moved toward the vacant armchair and sank down. He shrugged off his jacket, revealing a white shirt and a holster holding two guns and a long knife.
"Wow," Qinli breathed.
Qinli got stood and walked over to him. He kept his attention on the door. She stepped in his way and he had no choice but to look up at her. She smiled.
Qinli quickly slipped into his lap and Xu got tensed. I leaped off the sofa and wrenched her off him.
"Su Qinli , what's matter with you? You can't act like that. If not one day a man is going to take advantage of you."
Many men had trouble understanding that provocative clothes and actions didn't mean a woman was asking for it..
Xu straightened in the chair.
"He won't hurt me. I knew big brother Fu has forbid him, right?"
"He could steal your virtue you and cut your throat afterward, so you can't tell anyone," Qina said off-handily.
Then I shot her a glare.
Qinli eyes grew wide.
"I wouldn't," Xu said, startling us with his voice.
"You shouldn't have said that," Qina muttered.
"Now this little temptress is going to fawn over you, Xu."
"Su Qinli. Now, go to bed," I ordered and she did under loud protest.
"I'm sorry," I said.
"She doesn't know what she's doing."
Xu nodded.
"Don't worry, Young master lady. I have a sister her age too."
"How old are you?"
"20, Young master lady."
"And how long have you been working for him?"
Qina turned off the TV to focus on her interrogation. I settled against the backrest.
"5 years, but I've been trained as a made man for 10 years."
"You must be good if your master chose you to protect my big sister."
Qina nodded in agree.
He shrugged.
"Knowing how to handle myself in a fight isn't the main reason. But Young master Fu knows that I'm loyal."
"Meaning you won't paw at my big sister then."
I rolled my eyes at Qina.
Xu probably regretted ever leaving his spot at the door.
"If Fu Shao knows he can trust me with what's his."
Qina lips thinned. Wrong thing to say.
"So if my sister came out of room naked tonight and you got a hard-on because you can't really help it. Your young master wouldn't cut off your precious down there right?"
