The Eighty-Third Section: The Great and Lesser Devils

  Book 83 (This book will be on shelves tomorrow, hope you all continue to support me, seeking patronage ~)

  "No! No!" Lí Luòér exclaimed, her frail body trembling slightly as she unconsciously moved towards the edge of the bed.

  Lu Xuan Sheng lifted her chin, gazing at her stunning face, although she was pale at the moment, still couldn't hide that hint of loveliness, and asked ambiguously, "Don't want what?"

  "Get that away!" Lí Luò'er was so ashamed and resentful, her lower abdomen was pressed to the point of slight pain, but it also brought a strange feeling, making her want to dig a hole to hide.

  Lu Xuan Sheng's mouth corners overflowed with a hint of disdainful smile, his fingers lightly touched her soft lips several times, until Li Luo Er's cheeks were like ripe apples, he then asked lightly: "Which one?"

  "Let me go! Otherwise, I'll die in front of you!" Li Lu'er suddenly found the courage from somewhere, quickly breaking free from Lu Xiansheng's grasp, her delicate face with a resolute determination.

  "Would you rather die than be intimate with me?" Lu Xiangsheng let out a cold snort, his chest suddenly filled with rage. Was it that she couldn't even accept affection from him? Did he not have any place in her heart at all?

  Lu Xuan Sheng took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger and said coldly: "I can afford to, can you?"

  "Don't think I don't dare!" Lei Luo'er glared with wide eyes, but her body was carefully moving away, inching further back!

  "If you had given up, wouldn't you have died long ago? Do you still need to wait until now?" Lu Xiangsheng said coldly, and kissed her snow-white neck with a hint of resentment.

  "Whatever you say goes, just don't touch me, don't bully me..." Lí Luòér had already understood that this time she had indeed gone too far, and it would be better to obediently apologize in order to have a glimmer of hope.

  Lu Xuan Sheng lifted his head and finally smiled, revealing a row of bright white teeth. He wrapped the towel around himself and stood on the floor, staring straight at her, trying hard to control his desire.

  Li Lu'er sat up with a start, took a look around and found that there was nothing on the bed to cover herself, so she hastily pulled up the sheet to wrap herself.

  Then she looked at him with a pitiful expression, knowing that if she let this opportunity pass, there would be no chance to calm him down again...

  "Lai Luoer, don't you hate me?" Lu Xiangsheng pulled out a chair and sat down heavily, somehow producing a cigarette and lighting it. Before long, the entire room was shrouded in smoke.

  "No...it's not!" Lí Luòér bit her lip and forced out these two words.

  "Why must you keep hurting me?" Lu Xiangsheng sneered, thinking about his current situation, it was really laughable to the extreme. Facing such a girl, he actually felt somewhat helpless.

  No matter whether she smiles or cries, feels sorrow or joy... why does it all move my heart to want to own her with all my might, yet she keeps herself thousands of miles away from me.

  "I'm just not used to such days! This place doesn't belong to me at all! And you don't belong here either!" Li Luoer almost shouted out these words, her eyes brimming with tears.

  "The Li family's small courtyard is gone, you can't go back...". Lu Xiangsheng paused for a moment, blowing out a string of smoke rings. "Since you don't want to be with me, I won't force it either. You can leave! Your grandfather will be taken care of by me!"

  Lu Xiansheng slowly wrapped the towel around his waist, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth as he cast a sarcastic glance at himself in the dressing table mirror.

  Hehe, where did that me go? I actually had to resort to such a despicable tactic just to keep the person I like...

  He slowly walked out of the house, but in his heart he was counting down: "3, 2..."

  "Lu Xiansheng! Don't go!" Li Lu'er wrapped in a bed sheet rushed down from the bed, but forgot that one corner of the sheet was fixed, tripped and fell, although there was a rug, her knee still hurt secretly.

  She stretched out her arm with all her might and grabbed his ankle.

  Tears in her eyes could no longer be restrained, uncontrollably streaming down, "I'll be good from now on, please, give me back my grandfather, give me back my mother!"

  Listening to her despairing voice, Lu Xiangsheng's hands were trembling. He really wanted to turn around, hold her tightly in his arms, and kiss her forehead, but he couldn't! If he did that, she would leave him completely!

  He separated his five fingers, gradually closing them together, he stood there, still unmoved, letting her plead in vain.

  "Lu Xiansheng... I'll be obedient from now on, whatever you say I'll do, I won't get angry with you again and won't make you angry..."

  He glanced at her with his spare vision, she was so weak and even humble, **the upper half of her body was prostrate on the ground, but her toes were still hanging on the mosquito net by the bed, only that hand, firmly grasping her own foot.**

  But why can't she understand! What I want is not her at all! Is it so hard to leave just because of one sentence?! I've said a million words, but none of them are about me and her!

  "Take off your clothes and go to bed!" His indifference seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, cold to the point where there was a hint of chill.

  "I... am fine!" Lí Luòér said intermittently, struggling to get up, and then crawling back onto the bed with a sense of helplessness.

  One piece, two pieces. She tried hard not to let her tears fall, wrapping them all in her eyes, perhaps it was the best way, so she couldn't see him clearly, nor could she see herself...

  "It's all over." She squeezed out a sentence in a voice that couldn't be any lower, then opened her arms, closed her eyes, and lay on the bed in a helpless manner, like a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered at will.

  Lu Xuan Sheng slightly tilted his head and happened to see her radiant appearance, but at this moment he didn't have any desire, instead he had boundless anger!

  "Bang!" He heavily slammed against the door and his footsteps disappeared from the doorway.

  In the end, she still doesn't understand what she wants! Forget it!

  Li Luo's eyes slowly opened, staring at the top of the mosquito net, that crystal pendant, she didn't know whether she was dazed or lost in thought, and even she herself didn't know what she was thinking about.

  Tears streamed down her face and into her ears, making it hard for her to hear, but she didn't want to listen anyway.

  I don't know if it's fear of hearing those departing footsteps or fear of hearing him come back again...

  Why don't I understand anything...

  "Miss." Peach gently shook her on the bed, her fingers trembling.

  "Huh?" Lí Luòér snapped back to reality, looking at her with a shocked expression. Only then did she remember that she was still naked, and wondered if Táozi's expression meant that she thought something had already happened between her and Lù Xiāngshèng.

  Reached out to grab something to cover himself, and then burst out laughing coldly, laughing at himself.

  The only towel has been rolled away by him, now there is nothing on this bed.

  The girl fetched a clean nightgown from the closet and handed it to her, murmuring softly, not daring to speak loudly for fear of making some mistake.

  "Miss, are you going to take a bath?" Peach's eyes dodged back and forth, not daring to look at her directly.

  Nor did she know whether she was afraid of seeing embarrassment or desperation, Lí Luòér smiled and said, "Wash then." Since there's been a misunderstanding, let the misunderstanding go all the way.

  "I'll go flush it." Peach hastily ran into the bathroom.

  Li Luo changed into her pajamas, somewhat listlessly tidying up the bed, only to discover that the crimson stain on the bed was so glaringly eye-catching, no wonder Taozi had thought that way.

  Li Lu'er smiled wryly and glanced at the printed glass of the bathroom.

  Even when my big toe was hung on the edge of the bed, I didn't feel any pain. After sleeping for a while and waking up, the bloodstains had all been transferred to the sheets... things always turn out so coincidentally...

  She took a deep breath, put on this warm yellow pure cotton pajamas, went into the bathroom, and lay down in the bathtub.

  Scooping up a layer of foam from the water's surface, Li Lu'er raised her eyes to look at Taozi and asked faintly, "Where is he?"

  "Is it Young Master?" Peach hastily lifted her head and looked at her, then suddenly lowered her head. "Young Master is in the study."

  "What are you doing there?" She said with a light and careless tone, as if she was out of breath. She smiled slightly, scooped up water to caress her skin, letting her hair scatter messily on her shoulders.

  "I don't know, usually young masters wouldn't go to the study room. Just now I saw Huage carrying tea in and out, his face seemed unhappy."

  "Am I not like someone?" Lí Luòér finally brought the topic back to this question, she was clearly aware that she was being jealous and didn't want to be a substitute for another person, but as soon as she met Lù Xiǎng Shèng, her mind became muddled.

  "It's actually nothing like that, you two are completely different in appearance and temperament." Taozi said softly, trying her best to recall the image of her.

  "Why were you so panicked that day?"

  "It's been many years, I remember the first time I combed Miss Zixi's hair, she was smiling faintly and not saying a word, with the same scorpion braid, when I dressed her up as a young lady, I had an illusion that it was in the past." Taizi picked up the bath towel and gently helped Lu'er wipe his back.

  In fact, whether they look alike or not has nothing to do with themselves. No one can know what they are in the eyes of the young master...

  "It turned out to be like this." Lei Luo'er smiled slightly with satisfaction, and her heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

  For Grandpa, for myself, it's time to change!

  "Miss, would you like something to eat after your bath?" Taozi said considerately, laying a layer of towels on the ceramic steps, afraid that Lier would slip when she came out.

  "No need, bring me a set of light blue pajamas. You go make some snacks he likes to eat, I'll go to the study." She casually wrapped herself in a bath towel, holding a hair dryer and blowing her hair randomly, but a delicate arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, with a hint of mischief.

  "Alright, alright, I'll go now." Taozi happily and busily ran out, and it seemed like two different people from when she came in. It looks like this future Mrs. Lu has already started to take care of our young master!

  Li Luo's eyes closed slightly, a smile gradually deepened at the corners of her mouth, and two dimples appeared.

  As long as I'm not her, it's fine!

  Wearing exquisite Shanghai-style pajamas, Lí Luòér appeared on the stairs in a sky-blue low-cut backless lace nightgown.

  Ahua raised her head and was about to say something, but when she saw this scene, she suddenly lowered her head and fell silent.

  Li Lu'er passed by his side, looking at him in this awkward manner, couldn't help but find it laughable. Such a big man, yet he still didn't dare to look straight at her, a small woman like herself.

  "Miss, put this on, it's cold in the study." Taozi draped a pure silk embroidered shawl over Luo'er's shoulders, deep sea blue matching her nightgown perfectly, but what was the difference between wearing it and not...

  I suddenly felt that this was no different from ancient imperial concubines vying for favor, sigh, doing their utmost.

  Li Luo'er smiled and nodded slightly, then walked straight into the study, pushing open the door.

  "Get out! Didn't I say no one is allowed in?! " Lu Xiangsheng roared, and immediately Li Luer's abdomen was heavily hit by a book.

  "You're crazy!" Li Luoer held her snack, curled up on the ground, covering her stomach, and a layer of dense sweat beads oozed out of her forehead.

  "What are you doing here?" Lu Xiangsheng quickly kicked open the chair, directly picked her up and put her on the desk, with a scowl still on his face, but his tone was still laced with concern.

  "I'm afraid you'll starve to death!" Li Luo'er put the plate beside him, casually picked up a pastry and directly stuffed it into his mouth.

  "Cough cough, you want to choke me to death!" Lu Xiansheng coughed a few times, looking at her in her sleepwear, and couldn't help but furrow his brow, "What do you plan on doing dressed like that?"

  "Guess!" Li Luo'er smiled slyly and leaned in closer.

  "Haha! Women are really unpredictable. Just now you were crying and begging me to let you go, but now you're standing in front of me wearing a lace dress in broad daylight!"

  Lu Xiangsheng sneered and sized her up, finding it unbelievable. What was this girl thinking of doing? Could she play cards according to common sense?
