Chapter 534: Necktie

They arrived back home.
Hairball meowed as it rubbed against her feet, and Er Mao remained in its lazy and habitual position on the balcony basking in the sun. Xia Ling relaxed and finally felt the exhaustion after confronting Pei Ziheng leaving her. She was disturbed and walked towards the bedroom.
“Xiao Ling.” Li Lei called her.
“What?” Xia Ling turned around.
“You want to sleep?” Li Lei said, “Take a shower first. You’re dirty after coming back from outside.”
Xia Ling said weakly, “I have no energy to shower. I’m sleepy.”
Li Lei’s voice was genial. “I’ll help you shower.” Just now, the image of Pei Ziheng gently stroking her hair was like a thorn piercing his heart. How could he tolerate another man touching his woman?
Xia Ling was unaware of his thoughts, but since she loved being clean and didn’t dislike showering before sleeping, she nodded in agreement. Now, she slept on the same bed as Li Lei and did everything that she was supposed to do, so it was no big deal for him to help her take a shower.
Li Lei’s eyes lit up gleefully. He went to fill the bathtub with water and called her in.
Today, she was wearing a plain blouse with loose butterfly sleeves, looking elegant and soft. Li Lei stood behind her and undid the delicate buttons on the back of her blouse. Her white skin was revealed, exposing her thin shoulder blades underneath her clothes.
This was not the first time he saw her, but every time he did, she was always this beautiful.
Li Lei leaned down slightly, kissed the back of her neck, and drifted his hands restlessly along her beautiful curves.
Xia Ling felt that his breathing was a bit heavy and understood that he was somewhat aroused, but she was really tired today and had no extra strength to have sex with him. “Don’t make trouble.” She softly whispered to him and held his hand to prevent him from touching her waist. “If not, I will shower by myself.”
Li Lei quickly stopped. “I’ll help you.”
After that, he really focused on taking off her clothes and did not try any other advances.
Her clothes were removed, and her delicate and beautiful curves were exposed to his eyes. Although he had seen them many times on the bed, he rarely saw her like that. The soft afternoon light sprinkled through the one-way glass like gauze and silently fell on her well-proportioned body. She was a dancer and naturally had an indescribable rhythm, which was harmonious and beautiful.
His line of sight, which fell on her, could not be moved. His heartbeat and blood flow accelerated in response. However, due to her protests just now, Li Lei carefully restrained himself and helped her into the bathtub, focusing on giving her a bath.
Xia Ling lay on her back in the bathtub. The gentle water flow was like a song. As the rose petals and delicate shower gel foam surrounded her, she closed her eyes slightly and felt someone gently washing her long hair. He even massaged her skillfully.
Gradually, she almost fell asleep.
Half-asleep, she felt something soft cover her lips for a long time until she uncomfortably reacted. A pair of hands started touching her body. At the start, it was a very gentle clean up, but gradually, there was some taunting. Finally, he carried her and placed her on the soft and comfortable bed.
A heavy body pressed her down.
Confused, Xia Ling finally reacted to what was going on and became awake. “Li Lei… Don’t…” She was exhausted today and had no physical and mental energy.
Li Lei kissed her and said in a hoarse voice, “Xiao Ling, you can continue to lie down. I will do it myself.” He couldn’t tolerate others touching his woman, especially Pei Ziheng. Today, that image provoked his heart, and he realized that washing her hair was not enough. He couldn’t wait to mark her.
However, Xia Ling was unwilling. She reached out and softly pushed him away.
He lightly grabbed her wrist. “Be good.”
“No.” She murmured, a little unhappy. This was not a question of lying down and not moving, but rather her depressed mood because of the baby’s burial. How could she enjoy this sort of thing now? However, her voice was too soft and sounded like a banter between lovers.
Li Lei continued to hold on to her wrist. He bent his legs above her body and started to kiss her.
“Li Lei!” She was really irritated now and tried to struggle, her movements as soft as before.
He didn’t take her resistance to heart. Straightening his body, he saw a necktie freely placed on the bedside table, so he took it and wrapped it around her wrists. He was from the triad and had been a mercenary for years, so he bound her wrists very professionally without hurting her or letting her move.
Xia Ling struggled for a while and felt that her wrists were being tied up. This time, she woke up completely.
“Let go off me!” Her tone changed slightly as she struggled to get up. The clear sunlight outside the window shone on the spacious bed. In the shadows, the man in front of her seemed to overlap with another person in her memory. In her past life, there was also another man who liked to tie her up and ignore her pain and resistance as he forced himself on her. The memories started to flood back again.
She started to struggle ferociously. “Li Lei, don’t…”
Her lips were blocked by someone. It felt gentle and not overbearing. Originally, it was fascinating, but today, she only felt fear. Xia Ling was really scared, but she couldn’t make a sound. She was like a small boat in a storm being tossed about… Pain, horror, humiliation… These dark emotions raged again. Xia Ling weakly resisted as tears fell out, and she fainted.
When she woke up, Li Lei was sitting next to her.
The necktie around her wrists had already been removed, and there was only a shallow bruise which disappeared in a few hours without a trace. His binding skills were really good.
She recalled what happened before fainting and was furious. She glared at him and shouted hoarsely, “Li Lei, you’re crazy!” Her body ached, and her heart ached even more as if it were pierced by countless glass shards. She stumbled out of bed, went into the bathroom, turned on the shower and showered herself.
Li Lei also calmed down.
In reality, he was fully logical after she fainted and knew that something was wrong. He didn’t think that he acted violently as he was careful not to hurt her with every move. However, why was her reaction so intense? He followed her to the bathroom and stood by the bathroom door, watching her. “Xiao Ling, I…”
“Get lost!” She screeched and slammed the bathroom door.
