Lin Xiaofei didn't know what to do in this situation. On the other side were Qu Xing Xu's brothers seating with them at the table, and in that side were the maids and servants who were serving them.
If she were to even make a move, she would suspiciously take their attention to her and notice that Qu Xing Xu was doing something under the table. She didn't want that. No matter how exciting and thrilling this situation could be for both of them, Lin Xiaofei didn't want others to see her in this way.
However, the things she really wanted to avoid in her mind was completely disregarded by her body, which betrayed her as his hand started to do its wonders, making her close her eyes in silent pleasure.
Gripping the edge of the stone table, Lin Xiaofei bit her lower lips as a moan threatened to come out of her lips and alert the other people who were in the pavilion. Lin Xiaofei could feel her neck and cheeks heating up, hell, she knew that they were colored in red as her blood started react to his teasing.
Lin Xiaofei tried to keep her composure and not let her face betray her by keeping a calm look on her face. And just as she was doing well, she heard the voice of the man seating beside her.
"Are you alright?" Qu Xing Xu leaned towards her as he looked at her in concern. But Lin Xiaofei knew that he was enjoying teasing her and was even putting up a dangerous act.
"You don't look too good. Did you eat too much?" Lin Xiaofei was already boiling in anger as he continued to play with her.
Once the others noticed that Qu Xing Xu scooted over closer to her, they turned to look at her in question. Especially, Qi Yandi, who was wondering how could someone eat so much when she only ate a few mouthful?
But looking at how red her face had become, they became worried and didn't have any doubts in their minds.
"You should bring her back to your courtyard, Qu Xing Xu. It wouldn't be a good thing if your wife got sick because she stayed outside for too long." As the eldest, Jiang Sheng was more mature and understanding. And thus, he didn't find Lin Xiaofei's strange actions rude at all.
Lin Xaofei didn't hesitate to take up his offer just to get away from Qu Xing Xu and his perverted hand!
"Then, I won't stay longer. Enjoy the rest of the meal." Lin Xiaofei quicky brushed the hand on her thigh and stood up, looking normal as if nothing was hurting her.
Qu Xing Xu, who was about to follow her, suddenly received her glare.
"Your highness, I must leave so I can only ask you to entertain our guests. No need to help me get back to the courtyard." Lin Xiaofei stopped him short and without waiting for his response, she turned around and left.
Without the young mistress of the residence, the men who was left in the pavilion slowly loosened up. Qi Yandi, was still acting like he did before, but both Ni Zixuan and Jiang Sheng showed an exhausted look.
"I can't still believe you really married someone." Jiang Sheng said.
"Why? Can't I?"
"It's not that you can't…" Jiang Sheng choke up and rephrased his words. "I thought you enjoyed your status being single forever? You never really entertained the women sent in your way and didn't look at those noble ladies who jumped at your feet."
Ever since they knew Qu Xing Xu from his childhood, Jiang Sheng always expected that Qu Xing Xu thought himself to be superior and didn't want to be caught up into a messy relationship like getting married to anyone at all.
He was an eagle flying across the sky; free, dauntless, and mighty. And he's as ruthless as a panther lazing around on a huge rock while silently preying on his target. Qu Xing Xu was that kind of man.
Thus, being tied down by marriage and falling in love with someone at all was something that no one could imagine him doing.
And yet, the proof of it still lay bared in their eyes when they saw how Qu Xing Xu was acting like a doting husband to Lin Xiaofei very unlike to his scary and cunning character.
"Those women are excessively obsessed and ambitious. They're looking through the mirror and could only see what I can give them and their families." Qu Xing Xu said.
"Then, what about Xuan Yi?"
Ni Zixuan suddenly jumped in the conversation. Jiang Sheng looked at him warningly.
"What about her?" Qu Xing Xu raised a lazy brow as he asked.
"You know that she has been trying her best to catch your attention." Ni Zixuan ignored the warning looks that Jiang Sheng was sending his way.
Xuan Yi was a female general and someone they trusted to watch their backs. Although she wasn't a man and couldn't become their sworn brother, they treated him like their sisters. But she fell for Qu Xing Xu and tried her best to elevate her position from beign a commoner to a general with a noble title to match Qu Xing Xu.
Her efforts were something that Ni Zixuan and the others admired and respected. And they even once thought that Qu Xing Xu would marry her because they matched so well.
"You knew she loves you!" Ni Zixuan felt frustrated on the behalf of Xuan Yi, who wasn't there.
"So? What do you want me to do about that?" asked Qu Xing Xu while still keeping that cold smile on his lips. "The first wife is already filled. Do you want me to take her in as my concubine?"
Ni Zixuan was speechless and his jaw dropped down as he looked at him in disbelief. He was shocked that Qu Xing Xu could actually tell them that he would take Xuan Yi as his concubine and not the first wife.
Although, Xuan Yi comes from a normal background, she was now a noble and far more worthy than Lin Xiaofei, a spoiled-rotten daughter who had never seen the world.
"What to do..." Qu Xing Xu leaned back and lazily shrugged his shoulders. "If I have to take her in… doesn't that also mean I have to take in all the women who are in love with me and wanted my attention?"
"I only have one heart and it already belonged to one person. You're asking too much from me, Ni Zixuan." His cold voice rang in their ears as Qu Xing Xu released a drop of his dark energy.
