"Then, cut off your arm." Lin Xiaofei offered with a smile. She\'d rather not give him any satisfaction in seeing her get angry or take any offense in his every word.

She walked inside the room next to her bedroom. A large wooden tub was situated in the center and one could say that two people could use it and ignored him.

She washed her hands using the water in a small container with clean water and wiped her hands with a towel that was beside the tub.

Behind her, Qu Xing Xu watched her every move and didn\'t utter a word.. He raised his brow whenever she did something and was becoming more interested in whether Lin Xiaofei would really go and take a bath in front of him.

And when he saw her washing her hands in the container, he said. "Why are you washing your hands with that?"

"And what should I use to wash my hands other than water?" She didn\'t spare a look at him as she said that.

Qu Xing Xu leaned against the wall, "Lemon water?"

Lin Xiaofei paused and felt her small finger twitching. That\'s right. She remembered that she told her maids that they should wash their hands with lemon water to remove the poison.

However, in reality, it doesn\'t have to be lemon water. One could simply use clean water to remove the poison. It was just that she needed them to take their time outside to do the task of procuring lemon water and wash their hands with it while she could enjoy her time alone.

But alas, who knew that Qu Xing Xu was already inside her room to gossip.

Having been reminded of Qu Xing Xu\'s sin of spying on her, Lin Xiaofei subconsciously rung the towel in her hands, imagining that it was Qu Xing Xu\'s neck and not the towel.

Pausing in her actions, Lin Xiaofei turned around to look at him. Raising her hand, she said, "Take it off."

"Take what off?" Asked Qu Xing Xu. He really didn\'t know what she was talking about as he blinked his eyes at her.

Lin Xiaofei stepped closer to him and cocked her chin up, "What else? Take off your robe."

"What for?"

"You don\'t want the poison to stay in your person right?" She said expressionlessly.

Without another word. After hearing her say that, Qu Xing Xu took off his robe. If this was done in front of others, their reputation would be so hard to redeem and people would talk of this for a year.

Qu Xing Xu slowly unbuttoned his robe and while doing so, he kept his eyes in contact with her. She didn\'t know whether he deliberately did that to irk her or if he was being a pain in the ass again.

Honestly, Lin Xiaofei couldn\'t imagine him having the status as the Duke at all. It was given that he retreated from the state\'s court and does not meddle in the matters of the Empire anymore but was he always so free?

She wanted to ask him that but realizing that they weren\'t in that kind of relationship that she can just ask him about his personal matters, she forced the question down in her heart and threw it back inside her head.

Lin Xiaofei blinked her eyes and couldn\'t help but stare at him. If she were to say that she wasn\'t impressed with Qu Xing Xu, she would be lying.

With his outer robe gone, Qu Xing Xu was only wearing his middle and inner clothes. However, that didn\'t seem to cover up the fact that he was indeed a perfect specimen of a man. Lin Xiaofei suddenly wondered what would he look like without his middle and inner clothes.

Upon thinking like this, Lin Xiaofei frowned and had a strange expression in her face. She must be crazy for thinking like this.

"What are you going to do with my robe?" The corner of his lips was slightly raised as he asked this. Qu Xing Xu was about to hand her the robe when she replied, "I\'m going to burn it."

He paused and held the robe in his hand tighter, "You can\'t do that."

Lin Xiaofei rolled her eyes at him before turning around, "Suit yourself."

She stepped into her bedroom once again and was not glad to see the mess that he created. She strode across her room and sat on her bed with her arms crossed.

Qu Xing Xu was already following behind her and when she sat on the bed, he wasn\'t bold enough to do the same and just sat on one of the chairs in front of the bed.

After seeing him sit down, Lin Xiaofei finally asked, "I hope you already heard it from the waiter but I was looking for you about an important matter."

Qu Xing Xu didn\'t speak. He waited for her to continue.

She stared at his black obsidian eyes and said, "Do you have it now?"

"It?" Asked Qu Xing Xu. He decided to play dumb and Lin Xiaofei frowned.

"The list of names." She said, "Last time, I requested a list of names of bachelors in the Capital."

"Ah... Yes, you did." Qu Xing Xu smiled at her.

"Then, I suppose you brought it with you." She looked at him in anticipation. She wondered how many people were on the list and how she could select one of them.

Lin Xiaomeng has been worrying about her life matters and suggested to look for a man with a good background that could marry her but she assured him that he won\'t need to do that since she believed that Qu Xing Xu had the ability to find few suitable males for her to choose from.

"Well?" Lin Xiaofei asked when she saw Qu Xing Xu was not speaking.

Unexpectedly, he asked her instead, "Do you really want to marry?"

"I have to." She didn\'t answer his question. Whether she wanted it or not, in her current situation, she didn\'t have many options to choose from.

Qu Xing Xu sighed and shook his head, "I currently don\'t have the list."

​ Lin Xiaofei frowned and wanted to open her mouth to say something, however, Qu Xing Xu raised his hand to stop her.

"I currently don\'t have a list." He paused, "But I do have one person that I can think of that would like to take up the role as your husband."
