Chapter 226 - Escaping? From who?

He leaned forward for another kiss but this time, Shi Enxi covered his lips, "Mr. Lu!"

Lu Mello sulked and pulled away this time. He crossed his arms and asked with a pouty tone in his voice, "If you didn't come to give me a kiss then why are you here?"

"That's..." She paused. She was planning to discuss with him the decision she came up with about work. She was willing to wait for him until he finished his meeting just so they could go home together later but who would have thought that manservant of her husband betrayed her?

"I want to discuss something with you." Shi Enxi continued, her eyes narrowed in seriousness.

"That can wait. Give me another kiss. This time, a long one." He demanded, putting on his stoic look at her.

"..." This man...

The longer she stared at him, she could feel her cheeks heat up. She was supposed to be used of his advantages but... If she was to compare the Lu Mello in this present to the husband of hers in the past life, this one was bolder and more forward... He didn't have any restraint.

Now that she thought of it, he didn't have any restraint ever since the first dinner she had with their families. It was that night in the garden that he began attacking this way. It was not like she hated it. She preferred him this way... Although she wasn't going to admit that to him of course. She was not going to stroke her husband's ego.

"Why don't you go back to work? Let's just talk later at home." She was about to stand up but her husband was quick when he held her waist and pulled her back down, but this time to his l.a.p. "Are you trying to escape, little wife?"

Shi Enxi was startled by the sudden pull. "Mello!" She turned to him and glared, "Escaping? From who?" She scoffed.

"From your horny husband?" He proudly admitted, a teasing smirk played on his lips as he caged her around his arms.

"..." Does he know no shame?!

She opened her mouth but before she could say anything, Lu Mello continued, using another card, "I work hard every day just to earn money for you."

Her mouth dropped upon hearing what he said. How dare he use that against her?! "You blocked my card!"

"You mean MY card," corrected Lu Mello.

"MY CARD. You gave it to me!" Shi Enxi insisted, arguing back at him.

"You mean I let you borrow it." He was actually enjoying the small argument they had right now but Lu Mello remained to look indifferent just for the sake of not being scolded by her.

"No. I didn't borrow it. I'm your wife. All your accounts belong to me too." She huffed as she shamelessly retorted.

He blinked a few times and the poker face he had earlier finally broken as he admitted with a small smile on his lips, "You have a point."

"I always have a point." She scoffed. This time, she took out the phone from the pocket that was inside his coat and gave it to him. "Unfroze it. MY card."

He chuckled, taking the phone from her. "You mean OUR card." He corrected her again.

She pursed her lips, not wanting to admit it but she couldn't argue back now since he was correct. It also belonged to him since he still was the owner because of his name written in all accounts.

Her lips were stretched into a straight line as she watched her husband give orders to his bank manager. By the time he ended the call, a bright idea entered her mind.

"Darling..." The sour look on her face disappeared and this time, she was smiling sweetly at him, acting like a good wife.

Lu Mello raised a brow at her sudden change of attitude. He knew that looks of hers well. She would always give that look whenever she would ask a request from him. "Hm?"

She turned to grab her purse. She took out the black card that her husband gave her before. "I want to have a card like yours. With my name." Not yours. 

Shi Enxi knew well that whenever she used his card, he would always receive notifications but if the card belonged to her then he wouldn't be notified anymore.

"No." That was a quick answer coming from Lu Mello.

A crease formed in between her brows upon hearing his reply, "Why not?!"

How was he supposed to know where she was if they ended up having a big fight again? Although Lu Mello didn't give that answer and instead retorted by calmly saying, "Because I say so."

"But Darling!" Shi Enxi tried to use her charms against him. She hugged him by his neck and stooped forward to whisper beside his ear, "Please? I'll do whatever you want for a week."

"..."

Her intoxicating scent entered his nostrils when she came close. The way her fingers moved to stroke his c.h.e.s.t was already making him go uneasy. Shi Enxi didn't stop there though. This time, her soft, warm lips touched his ear, making him shiver in excitement. He couldn't concentrate on her hand that was traveling down to the tent that formed between his t.h.i.g.hs since her sweet lips were distracting enough as it traveled from his ear to his jawline.

"Anything you want..." She whispered with her melodic voice, hypnotizing with her tempting words and seductive voice.

If Lu Mello has a way of instigating his wife then it was only proper for Shi Enxi to have her way too and both know how to use it well except for... Dealing with the backfire.

"Five years." He tried his best to keep his composure as he stayed still. Although his body was already stiff as wood.

She quickly pulled away just to look at him, baffled. "Five years?!"

A wicked smirk played on Lu Mello's lips when he looked at her, his eyes showed nothing but haughtiness. "Do anything I want for five years."

"No way! That's too long!" 

"You'll be using the card for the rest of your life, I only want five years of your obedience to me." 

"..."
