Lory was sitting on the pavilion while sketching her book with something that similar to a pencil but it made from charcoal and some dark mineral cover with wood, something that she asked Zhao Li Xin made since the first time they met.

She draws Yun Dao city street and building and also the people, she draws what people wear in, the stall on the street even stray dog everything in detail, it was quite a realistic picture maybe because there's no camera so she insists to captures everything she saw in her sketchbook before she forgot and now her sketchbook become more like her picture diary.

After two hours she finishes her drawing, she put down her pencil on the table and examined her works, after she quite satisfied she close her picture book and store her pencils on her spatial ring. Lory stretches her arms in the air and massaged her stiffed neck after stay too long in the same position for hours.

She searches for Gisha and found the bird nestle on his glorious birdhouse, she must admit Girsha does look cute when he is sleeping but it would disappear the moment he speaks.

Lory chuckles lightly, oh well she only joking though because the day Girsha stop speak to her it becomes her darkest day. Lory shakes her head she doesn't like reminiscence that period of time. She shoved that memory away from her mind then she decide to look for Zhao Li Xin. Lory passed a few maids and male servants and everyone bows their head at her courteously Lory kindly responds with a slight nod.

Lory arrived at the study room and she doesn't need to say a word before Mong Ki and Mong Yi open the door for her. Her smiles grew wider when they saw them "Thank you, is he busy?" Lory ask.

"No, young madam" Mong Ki answer politely.

'Is he ever busy for you'

Lory enter the room and he found her husband sit behind a big black desk, it's amazing how everyone stays true to the same design for his study room, they already change their manor numerous time but the study room design always the same, Black furniture, grey wall with a splash of gold paint, intimidating wall screen behind the desk and very little decoration. 

Zhao Li Xin expression as rigid as his room, there's a mountain of the scroll on his desk and he read one of them with knitted brows. His nose slightly twitch then he raised his head, the coldness in his eyes melted when he looked at her "Come…" he beckoned her.

Lory smile as she approaches him "Are you busy?" she lean her bottom on the chair armrest.

"Just read a few reports" he leaned his back then rest his head on her arm, he always feel more calm and relaxed when she's around the truth is Zhao Li Xin can't remember how he lives before he met Lory and how could he survive leaving like a dead man. 

"What this?" Lory took a red card from the table, it looks like an invitation.

"An invitation to attend Sanguan family birthday banquet," he said in a flat tone, Zhao Li Xin doesn't show excitement or anxiety to meet his birth family, but that just how he is. Zhao Li Xin can't pretend to be eager to meet them because he doesn't.

After a long time ago he realizes there's something wrong in his head, why can't he feel attachment as if when the god created him they focus on his outer appearance, brain, and talent but forgot to add a heart.

Only after he met Lory he start to feel his heart beating, his heart could race, ached and erratic because of her. Zhao Li Xin fell in love with Lory not because she gives him a second chance but it because she gives him a heart, she gives him purpose and she teaches him how to feel like a human being supposed to and that something no one in the world could give him.

"Are you coming?" Lory read the invitation that written with gold paint "We castrated their family and rude to their heir, I don't think they mean well" Lory state her doubt.

"No, they're not…." He pulls Lory from the armrest to his l.a.p, like a weightless doll she sits on his l.a.p then he pokes his nose "That's why you don't have to come" he worried they would irritate his dearest princess. He can't handle everything but his wife saddened face.

Lory pursed her lips "You left me at home while you having fun all alone" she widens her eyes feeling sorry for herself "Milord, I thought you love me…" she bit her red lips and blinks her big beautiful eyes pitifully.

Zhao Li Xin knew this is one of her tricks to persuade him "NO!" he firmly said "Sanguan family is more powerful than the Lu clan and Mountain sacred peak, although I don't fear them but I still get anxious when you were there and don't forget Lao Min Na also there that means that Demon probably there too"

"That's why I should be there, I'm a lot stronger now, you saw yourself and I have you and Girsha don't forget Jin Hao and the others also comes" Lory try to reason with him she doesn't want to be left alone "And about Lazarus, there is a possibility he is not in a good condition just like me, he probably loses his power just like me, but I don't know why? That's why I need to see Lao Min Na this time I will make sure what is her relationship with Lazarus"

Zhao Li Xin is contemplating, Lory word are make sense and very reasonable it almost convince him however the truth remains when she comes she will expose to danger.

"You still can't come Lory" he refused her with a gentle voice.

"Aww, why not…?" she w.h.i.n.es.

"It's dangerous!" Zhao Li Xin said sternly "Don't pouted, that will not help!" he reprimands her like a naughty little girl. Zhao Li Xin doesn't scare with the Sanguan family, even three Sanguan Family come he still not budged but Lazarus is something else even Huo Long sounds his worry against that creature and that thing is the core of all Lory pained and suffering, he doesn't want Lory to meet Lazarus at least not now.

However, Lory has a different opinion, to conquer her enemy she needs to understand him first, she curious why Lazarus chose Lao Min Na and why he did not show himself for all these years if his condition like what Girsha predict she wants to understand how that happened and how she could take advantages from it.

"Pleaseee…." She pouting her lips cutely.

Her soft lips stirred his heart slowly the temperature in his body gradually increasing but the great Lord refused to back down "No, you can't!"

"I promise I will stay with besides you" she pleads again.

"No!" he determined to get her away from dangerous situations.

Of course, princess Lorient is not someone who accepts defeat easily especially when she knows her opponent's weakness, Lory kisses his cheek "Please…"

Zhao Li Xin unperturbed then Lory kisses her chin, she gives another kiss on the corner of his lip then she gives a light peck right on her lip "Please…." She begged coquettishly.

His heart beating like a war drum and his body slightly become hot "Lory, don't you dare….you must listen to me some time" there's a helplessness in his word as he begins to unable to control his d.e.s.i.r.e. How could he remain chaste for a decade but he can't control his l.u.s.t even a minute in front of Lory?

"I listen to you…" she said with a sultry voice and kiss his lips gently while her hand slip inside his collar and rummage his b.a.r.e skin. Zhao Li Xin gulped as his throat feel dry and his d.e.s.i.r.e came at him like a tide.

"Lory, you know what I could do to you…." He said with a raspy voice.

"I want to come…" she innocently said but her hand is far from innocent as it c.a.r.e.s.ses his strong abdomen "You know I can take care myself, whatever happened I always come back for you when I ever disappoint you" she whispered seductively.

'THAT'S IT!'

He can't take it anymore, he lost again but this time he determined to minimalize his loss "Fine you can come!" he g.r.o.a.n.e.d exasperatedly.

"Really!" Lory grinned excitedly "You can't take that back okay!"

"No I won't, but you have to pay the price little vixen…." He wickedly smile.

"Eh?"

"Mong Ki, Mong Yi leave this courtyard don't let anyone come!" he raises his voice slightly.

Lory forgot there still Mong Yi and Mong Ki behind the door her face immediately become red, but why he told them no one can't come. Their eyes interlocked she could see fire burning in his eyes only then she realizes she was being overboard with her teasing 'Uh-Oh'

He swipes the scroll from the table with one then sits her on the table "You know this coming right?" he emanates a dangerous aura like a hungry beast eyeing his delicious prey.

Lory loves Zhao Li Xin but sometime she can't handle his enthusiast even in a normal situation she barely could handle him only her healing gift that make her able to function the next day but right now….why does she felt she just digging her own grave.

"Li…Li Xin, it's still noon let's wait until tonight, at least we move to the bedroom first" she wryly smiles.

The funny thing is the timider she becomes the more he got aroused "I can't wait" he replied shortly, his devilish smile make him look intoxicating and intimidating at the same time, his eyes are like a vortex that s.u.c.k.e.d her breathe away, for a moment she thought her stops.
