Chapter 52 - He Is Not Into Girls. He Is Into You
"I like the look in your eyes." Li Luxian loved that side of her. That crazy side that was so unrestrained and fearless; that could stun anyone who would mistake her for a weak, docile girl.
That was the image that was created in Li Luxian mind when he had taken his first look at her that night on the footpath. A pretty, delicate girl that could be bullied by anyone; a woman in need of constant protection.
It was until he was grabbed and molested by the same weak-looking girl that his mind was totally changed about her.
This girl was anything but weak and delicate.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Li Luxian eyes brightened. He wanted to see her in action.
"You can't." She didn't want to scare her uncle's family. How would she enjoy torturing them if they already gave up after seeing Li Luxian? She wanted to see them struggle a little before ending them once and for all.
Li Luxian smile fell.
Chen Yi laughed at his disappointed expressions. "You are my trump card. And trump card is not shown till the end."
"Trump card?" Li Luxian made a face.
"Being a trump card is a good thing. You are the most important thing to me." Chen Yi kissed his cheek and ran away before he could recover or do anything to her.
"Getting smart, aren't you?" Li Luxian smirked as he glanced at the door being closed. "But you forget that eventually, you will have return to me."
...
Chen Yi wanted to escape unnoticed but unfortunately, she was caught by an eager mother-in-law. She looked particularly excited. "I hadn't had a chance to chat with you alone since this morning. So, Yi'er how did it go? Earlier I couldn't ask because of that pig-headed old man."
Chen Yi was speechless. And here she thought that the grandfather was revered like a God and no family member would speak ill of him behind his back. Perhaps mother-in-law was an exception.
"What are you talking about mother?"
Li Shanguaan smiled. Chen Yi didn't like the look on her mother-in-law's face. She wanted to leave. But mother-in-law had her clutched tightly.
"You know what I am talking about." Li Shanguaan winked at her.
Chen Yi broke into coughs: "No I don't." She seriously didn't. And for some reason, she didn't want to know. The look on the mother-in-law's face felt ominous to her.
"How can you be so dense?" Li Shanguaan shook her head helplessly. She needed to teach this dense daughter-in-law a lot. How was she going to get Li Luxian under her control? "Last night, did you succeed in getting Li Luxian?"
Chen Yi: "..."
"Now, don't make that face. The way my son avoids women, it sometimes makes me wonder if he is even into girls or not. You can't blame a mother for being anxious. Besides, I want to share some tips with you to get him under you if you failed last night."
'Under me? Mother-in-law, that sounds inappropriate.'
"Didn't you say that the way he looks at me i-is different?" Chen Yi choked on her voice. This situation was awkward and unforeseeable.
She noted one thing in her mind that day: 'When it comes to Li family, expected the unexpected.'
"I do but some other people still doubt my judgment!" Li Shanguaan harrumphed loudly.
"Did father-in-law ask you to ask this from me?" Chen Yi guessed easily. "I assure you Li Luxian is into girls!" Chen Yi cleared. Yup, he was definitely into girls. Chen Yi still had the feeling of his lips on hers. There was no way he was not into girls.
Li Shaguaan looked relieved. "But you are wrong here Yi'er. He is not into girls. he is into you."
"Err... What's the difference mother? Am I not a girl?"
"A difference is something you won't understand." Li Shanguaan smiled and further pulled Chen Yi. "So, do you want to listen to all those tips to get Li Luxian under your control?" Li Shanguaan grinned. "Don't you want to know how I got your father-in-law under my control?"
Chen Yi realized how similar she was to her son. "No, mother-in-law, I have to leave. I have something to do?" She bowed apologetically. As much as she would love to learn all those tricks. Sarcasm intended.
"Do you have to?" Li Shanguaan looked sad. "Alright then. Be back before dinner. You guys are only leaving after dinner tonight."
Looking at the sincere and eager expressions of mother-in-law, Chen Yi felt a warmth surging into her chest.
How long had it been since someone waited for her for dinner?
