Chapter 119: Beyond Anxiety, Into a Blazing Rage
Page (1/3)
Still receiving no answer from Yun Zui, Ling Yuan did not grow angry. Instead, she sank her teeth into Yun Zui’s shoulder.
Yun Zui could not help frowning. Ling Yuan had truly bitten her!
A faint ache spread through her, and Yun Zui felt blood trickling from the wound. Yet in the next moment, she felt Ling Yuan gently and tenderly lick it with the tip of her tongue.
She claimed to hate the smell of blood, yet now she was tasting it herself?
Pervert!
Yun Zui cursed viciously in her heart.
As though satisfied, Ling Yuan then rubbed the uncovered half of her face lightly against Yun Zui’s cheek and said, “I have found you. If I had known your identity was Yun Zui, the Prime Minister’s fifth daughter, I would never have sent anyone to kill you. But you toyed with me as well, so now we are even…”
As she spoke, her lips brushed a light kiss against Yun Zui’s cheek through the veil.
A chill of revulsion ran through Yun Zui. Ling Yuan was a complete pervert, always taking advantage of her!
“Would you let me see your face? Afterward, I’ll let you see mine as well. Then we will belong to each other.”
Warm breath brushed against Yun Zui’s ear as Ling Yuan whispered softly.
By now, Yun Zui had not only been dressed in a silver gown; a veil had also been placed over her face.
Why did Ling Yuan insist on obtaining her consent before looking at her face?
If she wanted to see it, she could simply lift the veil!
There was no need to make things so complicated.

But once he had seen her, they would belong to each other!
That was something Yun Zui absolutely could not accept.
It seemed no one had ever seen Ling Yuan’s face. After seeing it, Yun Zui might be forced to wear a veil forever, never allowing anyone else to look upon her features.
Ling Yuan was far too peculiar. Was this some kind of obsession with beauty?
He was excessively possessive of appearances.
Yet, to be honest, the half of Ling Yuan’s face revealed beyond the mask was breathtakingly alluring. So beautiful that it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female, every feature refined to perfection.
“You may nod, or you may shake your head…” Ling Yuan remained very, very close to Yun Zui.
If Yun Zui shook her head, Ling Yuan might instantly become as cold and indifferent as she had the last time.
Besides, Yun Zui was not Ling Yuan’s subordinate now. Refusing would be tantamount to seeking death.
Who knew whether the unpredictable master of Lingyou Hall, Ling Yuan, might suddenly turn murderous and execute her on the spot?
But if she agreed, would that mean she belonged to him?
Better to take things one step at a time.
Yun Zui gave a slight nod, and Ling Yuan immediately became deliriously delighted.
He extended five long, slender fingers, white and smooth as jade, and slowly caressed Yun Zui’s cheek before gently lifting away her veil.

Yun Zui’s breathtaking beauty came into view before Ling Yuan’s eyes.
Yet no look of astonishment appeared in his gaze.
Clearly, her beauty was not especially remarkable to him.
But the corners of his lips curved upward, revealing lips of a pale cherry hue, glistening with moisture—delicate, beautiful lips.
“How cute.”
His soft, bewitching voice offered the compliment beside Yun Zui’s ear.
Yun Zui felt three dark lines descend from her forehead.
He had actually used the word “cute” to describe her!
He was truly the first person ever to do so!
Yun Zui was utterly speechless.
A light laugh, crisp as the chime of a bell, rang from Ling Yuan’s throat. He then raised his index finger and traced the shape of Yun Zui’s brows, moving downward to her striking black-and-white eyes, then to her pert nose, and finally to her naturally rosy lips.
Ling Yuan tightened his embrace around Yun Zui, as though filled with longing. Slowly, he bent down and moved toward her lips.
He was going to kiss her!
Yun Zui wanted to kick him away, but her body had no strength at all. In addition to her panic, fury blazed within her.
