Seeing her smile, Qu Xing Xu had a strange feeling inside him. He wanted to reach his hand out and pinch her cheeks just to see if she was really in front of him, and about to marry him in a month\'s time.

But strangely, he found himself not reaching out and only stared at her bewitching smile. He felt hot and embarrassed. He never felt this way to any woman or anyone at all. Even when beautiful young ladies were to smile and strike a conversation with him, he found it hard to even accompany them and waste his time with women who only look at his handsome face and wealthy status - his title as the Duke was the icing to the cake.

A perfect example of what kind of woman he hated was the Bai sisters. They wanted to keep him close to them for different reasons. One wanted to manipulate him and the other wanted him to fall for her seduction.

Unfortunately, for them. Qu Xing Xu had already seen through their intentions and was merciful enough to keep them around him for the fun of it. Seeing them trying so hard to get him under their control and making a fool out of themselves..

It was also the same for Lin Xiaofei. He was only struck with interest and wanted to know what she was trying to do. Of course, he was also in awe with her stunning face but that wasn\'t what he liked about her.

It was her eyes that seemed too deep and filled with coldness. The first time he set his eyes on those eyes, he felt like his soul was being sucked and the dark recesses of his soul were seen through by her. Quite a disturbing event but the thrill of the thought that she was something else, something different, made him follow her like a dog.

In the end, he wasn\'t disappointed with what he had found.

"Are you listening to me?" Lin Xiaofei asked with a frown after seeing his dazed look on his face.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Qu Xing Xu smiled. "I wasn\'t." Not waiting for her to get angry at him, he continued, "But I\'m sure your plans are top-notch and exceedingly evil."

Speechless at how he could get away from trouble like a slippery eel, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t know what to say to that as she agreed with him.

After Qu Xing Xu left, Lin Xiaofei went back to the bed and closed her eyes. A sigh escaped her mouth upon thinking that she somehow felt bothered at the thought that Qu Xing Xu would be away for a while.

It seems that spending time with him brought her to feel close to him and the very thought of him going somewhere far away for a long time didn\'t sit well inside her.

Forcing her eyes to open, Lin Xiaofei cursed out loud. She must be damned for thinking of this or maybe, Qu Xing Xu put a spell on her to make her feel like this.

But then, again. She wondered what urgent matters that needed Qu Xing Xu to be away for a while? She found it hard to swallow knowing little about him. Even after living twice already, Lin Xiaofei still couldn\'t guess the secrets that surround him and wanted to know more. To know him.

For the first time, she felt curious about what he does and became worried.

She needed to erase these feelings or it becomes a burden to her plans.

Meanwhile, Qu Xing Xu, who was almost driven out of the room by Lin Xiaofei, carried a smile on his lips.

He walked in a relaxed manner towards his room when Gu Yan appeared behind him.

"Master, the things needed for our journey to the Eastern border has been packed." Gu Yan said with his back ramrod, "Is there anything else we should bring with us?

Without turning to look at him, Qu Xing Xu responded, "Nothing. However, I\'d like to give a few instructions to you while I\'m away."

"Please, tell me and I\'ll do it right away."

"No need to do it right away. Just stay here and look after Xiaofei. I don\'t want any harm to befall her. Especially, when there are some envious people who still don\'t know what\'s right for them."

"You mean…" Gu Yan voice trailed.

Qu Xing Xu nodded his head. "The capital will never be a safe place for anyone. Even with the protection of the walls encompassing the Qu residence, those who have malicious intentions will always find their way to get in my nerve. And the fastest way to do that is to harm Xiaofei."

Qu Xing Xu never forgot the danger he needed to face daily and as much as he didn\'t want to have Lin Xiaofei pulled into the mess that surrounded him, he can\'t seem to like the idea of letting this chance go and letting Lin Xiaofei slip away from his grasp.

Just a thought of it can drive him insane.

Staring back at the closed door where Lin Xiaofei was in, Qu Xing Xu wished he could stay and spend more time with his little vicious bride and find out her secrets.

"As for the matters with the Empress… It will be hard for you to keep things from her. So, you should just forget about it." Qu Xing Xu told him and started to walk with his hands behind him.

His malicious bride has set her mind to repay the Empress and Prince Jing with their kind gestures of forcing her hand in marriage. The things she will do to them, Qu Xing Xu couldn\'t wait to know.

Unfortunately, he forgot that he also had to face something once Lin Xiaofei finds out everything.

Thankfully, he will be away for a while, or else, it would be quite a spectacle to see a Duke being driven out of his own home by his bride.
