The Scion's Jack of all Trades Wife
They first met on a train.
She just came out from retirement of being a hermit while he was traveling incognito. He was reading a book when she interrupted his concentration.
“Do you want to know how fast I read?”
The man looked up, his charcoal eyes peered at her, an eyebrow was raised.
How shameless can she be? But whatever, she needed to read that book.
“I can finish it in thirty minutes.”
“So do I. If you stop talking to me,” the man once again buried his head on the book.
“I can give you a very detailed book review?”
The man continued reading, treating her like an air. She pursed her lips, thinking how she can convince the man.
“Giving up so soon? I thought you want to read this book?” The man threw her a glance, raising the book in front of her face, tempting her.
“Okay. What do you want?” She braced herself for his outrageous answer.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m sure you can give it to me.”
She squared her shoulders, indicating him to proceed with his request.
“Just a kiss,” the man said, his charcoal eyes became darker.
She almost fell from her seat when she heard the man’s request. She looked at the man’s lips unconsciously then back to the book.
For the first time in history, Li Nuxie wanted both.
