The Birth of a Villainess - Chapter 299

A few hours later. Lin Xiaofei, who went back to her maternal family and took some of her things back to the Qu residence, arrived to see Qu Xing Xu sitting with a blank look on his face. He was alone, and the snacks and teapot on the side of the table have gone cold already, indicating that he has been at home since earlier.

Lin Xiaofei took off her outer robe and sat across him.  ​​

Seeing a complicated expression on his face as he looked back at her, Lin Xiaofei knew that there could be something that he wanted to tell her. It was probably what she and her grandfather talked about when she met him earlier.

She waited for him for a long time, but still, Qu Xing Xu kept his mouth shut as if he had a hard time opening them and saying whatever he wanted to tell her.

And so, she decided to start the conversation. She pulled her hair down and said, “Do you have something to tell me?”

Qu Xing Xu watched as her hair swirled and fell behind her back and in front of her c.h.e.s.t. Her hair color was the color of the darkest hour in the night and shined like the stars above the night sky when the light touched it. He also knew from experience how soft and smooth her hair was and how addictive it was for him to wrap his fingers and fist around them.

When he travels to the Northern region of the empire, he was sure that he would miss Lin Xiaofei and miss touching them.

“You’re looking at me like that again.” Lin Xiaofei snapped him out of his thoughts.

“Like what?” asked Qu Xing Xu and blinked.

Lin Xiaofei folded her hands in front of her and put her elbows on the table before letting her chin rest atop the back of her hand. She said, “Like you’re falling in love with me all over again.”

Qu Xing Xu was speechless and had his lips apart when he heard her.

“Am I wrong?” Lin Xiaofei pushed once again. This time, the curve of her lips turned into a genuine seductive smile.

“No, you’re not wrong.” Qu Xing Xu replied. “I’m definitely falling deeper than you think.”

“Then, why are you leaving?” She asked. “If you love me so deeply as you’ve just said. Then, why would you go as far as the Northern region? And without even discussing it with me?”

Qu Xing Xu saw how her eyes were giving him a death glare as if one wrong word and she would strangle him to death.

He did not answer as he heard her speak again.

“So, it’s true. You’ll travel to the North and go to war.” Lin Xiaofei let her hands fall down to her l.a.p and sighed. “When are we going there?”

Qu Xing Xu stayed silent all this time, and her patience was thinning out.

Then, suddenly, she heard him say, “It’s not ‘we’… You’re not leaving with me. You will stay here, Lin Xiaofei.”

“You’re leaving me here?” Lin Xiaofei incredulously looked at him as if he had lost his mind. “And what made you think I will stay here.”

“I will have Gu Yan stay here until I arrive in the North.” He told her.

So, that’s his plan to keep her here. To have Gu Yan watch her and keep her inside this place as he rode to the Northern region. By the time he reached the North, Lin Xiaofei won’t be able to follow him as he could easily bar her from entering the Northern base.

She should feel betrayed by his words and actions. Instead, Lin Xiaofei wondered what made him do this and rush to the North.

Rather than betrayal, she felt concerned over him.

She knew that there was a storm brewing in the Northern region of the empire where the neighboring empire, Chu Empire, was situated after Prince Ziyin had gone missing. However, that was not enough reason for him not to discuss it with her before he decided to go to war.

Lin Xiaofei was not a stupid woman who could ignore the slightest signs that were laid b.a.r.e in front of her eyes. Not especially after Qu Xing Xu willingly showed her that magic trick he pulled off in the bas.e.m.e.nt. She refused to believe that it was a mere trick he learned somewhere.

But why couldn’t he tell her honestly? Was it that dangerous for her to know the truth?

Qu Xing Xu was oblivious to her thoughts and didn’t know that she was getting closer to the truth he was trying to hide from her. From the first place, he never intended to reveal his powers to anyone, even to Lin Xiaofei. However, over the course of time, he also couldn’t completely hide them from her.

However, he didn’t want her to be involved further, or things could go dangerous for both of them.

‘thud!’

Just as Qu Xing Xu thought she would slap him when he saw her stand up and walk towards him, Lin Xiaofei did neither.

Instead, Lin Xiaofei grabbed the back of his hair, making him tip his head upward and catch his closed lips between hers.

“Ngh!” Qu Xing Xu g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain as he felt his teeth biting his bottom lips. He was startled at her actions as he didn’t expect her to take the initiative to kiss him.

More than that, he didn’t expect her to kiss him at all!

He expected her to throw the things on the table at him, slap him, beat him up, and not speak at him. However, Lin Xiaofei exceeded his perception of her.

When Qu Xing Xu made a noise, his lips parted, and Lin Xiaofei took the chance to slip her tongue inside his mouth. She wasn’t an expert in this kind of thing. However, that didn’t mean she didn’t learn from all the physical activities Qu Xing Xu had put her through after their wedding.

Tasting the insides of his mouth, arousal sparked inside her, starting from somewhere deep down in her stomach. It tingled and made her curl her toes as she deepened their kiss.

Lost in d.e.s.i.r.e and l.u.s.t with the mix of impatience and anger, Lin Xiaofei and Qu Xing Xu let themselves go.

Qu Xing Xu raised his hand and put it around her waist. However, just as he touched her, Lin Xiaofei stopped him and said, “Today, don’t do anything at all. Let me do everything for the both of us.”

‘Let us see if you can still leave me behind after today.’ Lin Xiaofei thought to herself as she planned on how she could make him regret his decision
