Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

His face turned black, "Do you still badly want to be with the second prince that you decided to just replace his concubine? Are you too stupid to think that it by just using his concubine's face he would want you? That he will not notice you are not her?" He asked, unmasked hurt laced from his statement.

The pain he felt squeezed his heart. 'She is not fine marrying me even though I am willing to give her everything, but she is fine to be someone else just to be with that imbecile?' 

Rolling her eyes, not knowing what came over her, but she had already raised her head, cupping his cheek like pacifying a child.

She could feel his facial hair that kind of felt good against her skin. "I told you before, I do not want him. Why are you mad? You do not like it?" She asked playfully. 

Gao Lan Mei found his reaction funny. 'Isn't he supposed to be mad or grossed out because of her complete face peeling? What does this have to do with Chen Yun Ming?' She thought but did not voice out.

Aside from the fact that she did not have another mask for her to hide from him earlier, she also wanted to play more with Li Huan. Might as well make the most of the situation since she could not leave anymore. 

This man, who was seething with anger for an unknown reason in front of her, made sure of that. Who wanted to fight a tier four protection barrier anyway? She might want to give it a try in the future, but certainly, it would be a waste of effort to even think about the solution, to break the barrier. 

Though feeling a little better with her assurance, "I do not like it! Remove it!" He furiously said. If he could touch her, he had already burned the blasted fake face earlier. 

"Hmmm, why not?" Placing her hands into his chest. Wei Jiayi looked at her with a glint of interest. She moved her hands slightly up and down, feeling his muscled chest through his black robe. 

Wei Jiayi's throat dried, then he gulped, eyes starting to look at her hungrily, especially when he saw her running her tongue over her lower lip, which made him almost grab her. If not for that punishment.

'Heh. Even if I can't touch you, there are still ways for you to touch me.' Delighted with his idea.

"Wife, remove the mask." Then he insisted, saying the words softly. No way will he kiss her using a fake face. Just one kiss was enough.

She frowned, "We are not married yet." not liking the way her heart stuttered whenever he called her that, then adding with a shrug of her shoulders, "If you say so." She smiled knowingly, then removed the borrowed face.

Holding the skin mask, on one hand, the other still laying on his chest. Wei Jiayi was initially smiling, but it quickly vanished after she raised her head and looked at him. 

Wei Jiayi once again, couldn't speak. This woman, he wanted to take care of her so badly. If he has a say even a strand of her hair would not be hurt, however now, the previously beautiful face was scarred heavily. 

Claw marks running from under her eyes to her lips. He wanted to look away but refused to do so and forced himself to count each scar. Regardless of how little it was, he will return ten folds. 

Fourteen. Fourteen large and small scars all over her face.
