As the door knocked, Li Yao's face went darker, while Eric stood in front of her with a completely relaxed and cool attitude. He didn't seem to care who was on the other side of the door.
Seeing how she had gotten tense and scared about who was behind the door, and what that meant, while Eric stood there calmly watching her, pissed the beauty off.
Damn this guy doesn't seem to care even if Heaven fell and crushed him down, while she was getting tensed and worried for him.
She didn't like this situation, she didn't like this in the least. She had to teach this hateful bastard a thing or two and see if he still dared to behave like that again later.
As she was thinking like that, the person knocking on the other side of the door, started speaking in a kind of weird voice,
"Miss Li Yao its me Cui Xie! I wanted to have a conversation with you, and the servants lead me here! Can I enter inside so we can speak!?"
"Young Master Cui Xie!? Uhhh!? Wait a moment please, I am not in a suitable outfit!"
As she said that, she turned her head towards Eric clearly meaning, disappear! Unfortunately, her gaze was met with a defiant and mocking gaze, that seemed to challenge her, make me!
Not only that, but Eric started moving forward with the tray in his hands, placing it on the bedside table, and then under her stunned and startled look, leaned in for a French kiss.
'Aahhnn…'
Not only that, but his hands started getting rude, immediately grabbing and playing with the cotton candy slumps on her chest, forcing her to release a startling moan.
While her moan couldn't be called loud, for people like them with heightened senses, it was loud and clear, as Young Master Cui Xie said with a tinge of worry from outside,
"Miss Li Yao are you okay!? Did something happen!?"
Li Yao was close to exploding at that moment, the extra pressure and tension she was experiencing made her body much more sensitive, and she couldn't help but bite Eric's lips and tongue to stop that situation.
Eric immediately pulled himself from her, as he couldn't help but look at her with a wronged look, and ask in a wronged voice,
"What are you, a dog!?"
"Miss Yao, what is going on there, is someone else there with you? I will break through if you don't open the door!"
At that moment Li Yao didn't have enough concentration and attention to think about why Cui Xie's voice hadn't turned into some ragged scream.
In fact, if she even spent a moment to think about that she would realize that he was actually trying to pretend he was angry and screaming in a really low voice.
Unfortunately, the current situation didn't allow her the time or peace of mind to think about something like that, especially with the words of Cui Xie from behind the door.
She even forgot about making a play to make Eric pay, as she immediately grabbed onto his hands, and said in a dead solemn whisper,
"Leave or you are going to die!"
Unfortunately, Eric didn't seem to appreciate her kindness and her feelings, as he made a cold snort, and said in an arrogant tone,
"Hmph~! Who dares to kill this Young Master!? They must be tired of living!?"
"You, are you crazy!? I told you to leave! That guy is someone that you can't afford to offend! Leave!"
"Huh!? Are you taking this Young Master for a coward!? Let him inside, and I will show you that he doesn't even dare to look straight at me!"
"Yoouuu!? Do you have a death wish or something!? Even if you have a death wish, why do you have to involve my family in this!
Please leave!"
The beauty was on the verge of her tears, as she truly couldn't bear this damn situation anymore. Why did she have to suffer like this?
All her life she had thought that she would do her best for her family and marry the man that would help her family get better.
Yet right now people she considered family had turned their back on her and were even trying to force her to do something she didn't want.
Eric had appeared, and in only a single night and morning he had managed to capture a considerable part of her heart, yet this guy didn't seem to understand the situation.
His irresponsible attitude made her feel that she had truly done a great mistake the yesternight by giving in to him, as she had now truly endangered her parents and her closest people.
If Cui Xie learned of their affair it was a given that he would not only not accept the alliance with the Li Family, but he might even turn into a more ferocious enemy.
Just thinking about this, all her thoughts of playing a game on Eric disappeared, and she could only turn into this mood, ready to cry and beg only to make Eric leave.
On the other hand, Eric didn't like this situation for two reasons, firstly because it clearly showed that his woman was suffering, and secondly because she was too invested in the family.
He couldn't help but think that if there was a possibility of a choice between him and her family, she would select her family despite having second thoughts.
While her loyalty and love for her family were commendable, Eric didn't like that in the least. He had to be the first choice for his women, his harem. They had to have him as first priority no matter what.
For that reason, even his playing face changed for a moment, as he looked at the ready to cry beauty in front of him, and then said in a loud and clear tone towards the door,
"Xie stop the play and keep watch outside, don't let anyone enter without me saying so!"
"Yes, Master!"
Eric's words were already shocking, but hearing Cui Xie acknowledge the order like that, was even more shocking to the beauty, as she looked at Eric dumbfounded!
"You don't have to worry or think about this, there is a much more important matter to discuss!
After what happened, and my esteem for you I consider you my woman! The problem is that I am a truly selfish and possessive bastard.
My woman may belong only to me, and I need to be her first priority, otherwise…
It's clear that at the moment you are nowhere near that point, and I am at a crossroads about how to deal with you!
For that, I am going to give you two options.
First, we both act like this never happened before, and the Cui Family will help your Li Family to face the storm. Unfortunately that Li bastard Saint will stay in control of the family, until a later moment.
After all, I have no intention of sparring him for what he did!
Second, I help you clean the Li Family, burn all the termites that are spoiling the house, and let your father return to control, but from that moment on you belong to me fully!
You will have to separate from the Li Family and follow me, having me as your first priority! I know this is heartless and ruthless, but this is the real world that you have faced already.
You have 1 day to think about your choice!"
With that, Eric disappeared right in front of her face, without leaving a trace behind, as Li Yao still looked lost and pensive towards his dissipating figure.
This was truly a vicious choice she had to make, choosing between her family's survival and opportunity away from them, or their destruction with her close by.
She didn't doubt Eric's words even for a moment, she was that shocked by all this. But at the same time she felt like she could never choose, the whole thing was messed up.
…
On the other hand, Eric stood a little bit more inside to have a look at her face and actions, when he suddenly felt that someone he recognized was making his way towards this place.
He wasn't the only one to have noticed him, as there was someone else who had a greater grudge upon the bastard.
"Oh my~! What a pleasure to see Young Master Gao safe and sound! It truly shocks this Young Master what a miracle you pulled off by getting cured after suffering like that!
Which miraculous Doctor treated you, Young Master Gao!?"
The incoming guy's face went completely dark and ugly upon hearing those words, especially since they were coming from someone like Young Master Cui Xie, who was responsible for his situation.
"Young Master Cui Xie is even more miraculous than this Young Master, you managed to find the house that threw you many years ago and return there.
This Young Master is ashamed to accept that I would never be able to possess such forgiveness in his heart!"
"Young Master Gao must be joking, aren't you already showing much more forgiveness than me, by talking to the person that was guilty of your alignment?"
"Yoouuu…"
"Young Master Gao I would advise you to keep your calm and cool because you seem to forget that you are talking to a Young Master from the Cui Family.
Even the Li Family Master doesn't have the right and guts to point a finger at me and talk to me like that.
Not to mention that you aren't even a part of the Li Family, only a waste from the small Gao Family, what do you amount to!?"
