The person who bumped into Hui Yin was one of the middle-aged businessmen who flocked around Lu Shen, and in his haste, he did not notice Hui Yin at all.
When he realized that he had knocked someone over, he only felt annoyance. He was about to look down and berate this insignificant person who dared to block his way, when a beautiful sight greeted him.
Since Lu Shen had only given Hui Yin five minutes to change, she decided to wear a dress to save time.
It was pale blue with little flowers on it, which complimented her white skin and hugged her figure.
Since she had fallen over, the dress slightly rose up, showing her slender legs and the strappy sandals she had worn over her feet.
Her hair tumbled over her shoulders, and the eyes that glared at the businessman from under long, thick eyelashes just gave her a more seductive appeal.
Oh, wow, he thought, openly leering. A rare beauty. Everyone will definitely be envious of me if I make her mine!
He did not bother to mask his lust as he offered a hand to the fallen girl.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Hui Yin stared coldly at the old man in front of her, not willing to take his dirty hand. She was about to stand up on her own when a strong hand grabbed her elbow, jerking her upright.
"No need."
Lu Shen's frigid aura made the middle-aged businessman sweat. His dark eyes were cold and frightening, and the middle-aged businessman quickly retracted his hand.
"M—My apologies, Mr. Lu," he said nervously, wiping his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief. "I didn't know that she was your friend."
Lu Shen did not say anything, but the temperature around him dropped a couple more degrees. Thoroughly terrified, the middle-aged businessman could only mumble more profuse apologies and give them a deep bow, before immediately scurrying off.
Hui Yin glared at the hand that gripped her elbow. "Let go of me."
Lu Shen ignored her, and dragged her arm as they resumed walking. Hui Yin became angry, and harshly pinched his hand. Lu Shen looked down at her with darkened eyes.
"What?" His voice was a low growl.
"Let go of me," said Hui Yin, yanking her hand away. "And don't touch me ever again!"
Lu Shen stared at the girl who was looking at him with hatred, unconsciously rubbing the area where he touched her, as if trying to wipe it away. He always had an erratic temper, but around this girl, he found that he could lose control of the beast inside him easily.
He wanted to push her against the wall, and touch her until his mark was branded on her skin. He wanted to kiss her until her lips became swollen, so that she would never forget his taste. He wanted to do a lot of things with her, all of which involved a bed.
Lu Shen pinched his nose in aggravation.
"I will touch you when I want to."
After saying those words, which sounded like an order, Lu Shen gave Hui Yin another cold look.
"Stay close."
And then he strode away again, and Hui Yin sulked as she obediently followed him.
She realized that she had to break their engagement quickly, before she was forced to marry this man again.
