Chapter 181: A grudge against Ryle
Aunty Lu walked towards the dresser and picked up the photo frame. There was a picture of a young girl who was holding on to the hand of a woman who seemed to be in her late 20s.
’’That’s my mother,’’ Ivy said from where she stood, seeing Aunty Lu’s interest in the photo frame.
Aunty Lu snapped out of her daze and placed the photo frame down on the dresser, realizing that her actions might have been rude.
’’I see. I was just curious,’’ she smiled and quickly walked out of the room, but the corners of her smile were stiff.
Ivy looked at the woman’s retreating back before she glanced at the picture. A part of her hoped that Aunty Lu’s expressions were just a coincidence and she, or anyone related to her, was not another person whom her mother had offended when she was alive.
She lost her appetite and went to sit back on the bed, looking at the ceiling listlessly.
Downstairs, Aunty Lu descended the stairs in a hurry. She almost rushed forward to talk to Ryle but what she saw made her pause in her tracks.
’’Slow down, little princess,’’ Ryle was chasing after Angel who was wobbling around the living room with her tiny legs, ’’Ah, I am so tired,’’ the man even panted every once in a while.
Seemingly pleased with herself for running so fast, Angel slowed down, looked at him and giggled loudly before running again.
Almost looking as if he was tired, Ryle slumped on the couch with the girl’s food plate in his hand.
Angel walked over to him and placed her little palms on his knee as she looked at him with a pout, ’’Raeeell... Chaseee...’’
’’After you eat, I will eat,’’ Ryle fed her a spoonful while she was distracted, ’’And then I will have enough energy to chase you.’’
The little girl seemed to be pleased with the conditions and she obediently let Ryle pick her up in one arm and place her over one of his thighs while he fed her.
The little girl’s occasional giggles resounded in the living room.
The servants and the butler who were witnesses to the heartwarming scene felt their eyes tearing up, especially those who were older in age. The atmosphere in the Chen Mansion had always been strained with constant fights between Helian Chen and Alice and the two barely had any such moments with young Daisy and young Diana. By the time both Daisy and Diana grew up a little, they were sent away to study. In the end, the mansion was a huge but desolated place.
Aunty Lu who also witnessed the scene could not help but think back to the first time Ryle saw his little sister when he was young. Had he not adored her the same way? She suddenly felt suffocated.
She approached the man quietly with a conflicted expression on her face.
Ryle looked up, ’’You have something to say?" the man asked her, visibly in a good mood.
Aunty Lu opened her mouth but in the end, she shook her head, ’’Nothing important.’’
Ryle nodded and turned his attention to the little girl on his lap.
...
’Ring’
Daisy frowned and covered her eyes with the back of her hand but under the constant ringing of the phone, she opened her eyes. The room was completely dark as the blinds were pulled down. When she touched the other side of the bed, she found it cold and empty.
Daisy rolled to the side and reached out for her phone from the bedside table.
’’Hello.’’
After a few seconds, there was no response.
’’Hello?"
Daisy was about to check the caller ID when the person on the other side spoke up.
’’It’s me.’’
...
In the VIP suite of a seven-star hotel.
’’Lu Xian?" Daisy’s voice came from the speaker as Lu Xian walked towards the dresser, tying his bathrobe.
His hair was still dripping with water. He looked down at the phone, ’’Your voice sounds like you were sleeping. Did I disturb you?"
’’Is there something up?"
’’No, nothing important as such but I just called you to ask if you reached safely.’’
’’Mm..’’
The woman’s soft and hoarse voice stirred something in him and the blood in his body seemed to be rushing into his lower body, a visible tent appeared in his robe.
’’Ryle was waiting for me there,’’ Daisy added.
A hint of frustration flickered in Lu Xian’s eyes at the mention of Ryle, ’’Is it? When are you going to work today? When will you be sending your lawyers over?" Anything. She could say anything. But he did not want her to stop speaking.
Not when she spoke in that honeyed voice that seemed to be turning him hot everywhere.
’’I have taken a day off,’’ Daisy replied calmly but the sleep in her voice made her sound like a siren to him.
Lu Xian tugged open his robe and reached towards his throbbing dick, fisting it with one hand.
’’But Secretary Han should be on it. He will send the lawyers over. I will ask him to contact you.’’
’’Alright.’’
As Daisy hung up the call, Lu Xian closed his eyes and rubbed himself harder, imagining her soft body pinned between him and the mirror. The more he thought of it, the further his body reacted. He fisted himself harder and started thrusting in his hands.
’’Daisy...’’ Sweat sparkled on his forehead and he squeezed the tip of his hardened member, ’’Yeah...’’ He imagined fisting her hair and bringing her to her knees, thrusting his dick inside her mouth while she sucked off every inch of him and looked at him with those charming dark eyes, cold and beautiful.
’’Fuck,’’ Just the thought of it had him gasping and trembling as he climaxed, splashing his cum all over the huge mirror.
’’That was one good show...’’ A soft voice was heard from behind.
And Lu Xian’s cold eyes snapped open instantly. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and found the door to his suite ajar. A woman was leaning against the doorframe with her hands crossed over her chest, a veil covered her face.
She was the same person he had encountered in the restaurant yesterday.
Lu Xian’s eyes narrowed and he tied his bathrobe, turning to walk towards her.
With all the tight security of the restaurant, with all his private guards at the place, the woman still managed to get past the defenses and appear at this VIP room. That gave him a sense of urgency, ’’How did you get in here?"
’’Aha...’’ she slipped back when he got too close to her and twirled a key card in her hand.
Lu Xian’s face darkened.
’’Stop glaring at me, will you?" The woman stepped inside the room and closed the door behind her, ’’The woman you want is sleeping with some other man and here you are, getting things done with your hand. Do you know how pathetic I find you to be?" she pressed both her hands on his chest and attempted to push him to the couch.
But Lu Xian grabbed her wrists in a tight grip with one hand while his other moved to remove the veil from her face. Just as his fingers gripped her veil, the woman spoke up.
’’Go against me, Mr. Lu and lose your only chance to be with Daisy Chen.’’
Lu Xian’s hand abruptly stopped when he heard her warning.
He frowned, ’’What is it that you want from me?"
’’I didn’t want much before,’’ she giggled, ’’But maybe you have some good things to offer,’’ she fiddled with his bathrobe.
Lu Xian’s eyes darkened and he grabbed her hand, ’’What is in it for you?"
’’Pleasure for both? Isn’t that enough?" the woman let him hold her one hand and slid her other hand in his robe.
’’Not that,’’ Lu Xian gritted his teeth, ’’I get Daisy. What about you?"
Hearing the mention of that, the woman’s eyes turned menacing and her movements halted briefly, ’’I get Ryle Harper.’’
The mention of Ryle etched a deep frown in Lu Xian’s forehead, ’’You are one of his past lovers?" Ryle Harper has a reputation of being a playboy so he would not be surprised if one of his flames came with such plans to get to him but which of those women would be so bold to even go as far as approaching him? If they were afraid of being killed by Ryle, they should know that he would not let them get away with it as well.
’’His lover? Is he worthy?" the woman scoffed, ’’I will get him on his knees in front of me, begging for mercy.’’
Lu Xian was surprised, but this time it was a good one, ’’You hold a grudge against him,’’ he said this time, almost sure about his assumption.
’’Yes. Of course, I need some assistance in getting up to that,’’ the woman sighed, ’’Daisy is a thorn in my way to get to Ryle and as long as Ryle is there, you know Daisy won’t look at you. We can help each other out.’’
Lu Xian thought about it deeply.
’’Do you agree?"
