Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 274 Devil’s Agent

Yu Xi stretched her body in the soft body as a masculine scent hit her. She heard a dark laugh which caused her to abruptly wake up.

"Well it seems someone is enjoying my bed a little too much."

Yu Xi stiffened when she realized this was not definitely her room. Everything seemed so dark and lifeless.

She looked at where the voice was heard and she squealed when she saw her boss sitting on a sofa in the room.

He was wearing a suit and he looked well groomed. He looked handsome. She thought as the blood rushed to her cheeks as she began to blush.

Gu Zhi put down the newspaper he was reading and stood up. Striding towards her, Yu Xi sat there petrified and frozen to the spot as his eyes stared into hers. Yu Xi gulped and backed away.

"Don't." He warned.

His husky voice sending shivers down her spine.

'What is he going to do?' The question swirled in her mind. She stopped moving and swallowed with fear laced in her eyes.

She was sure that she looked horrible and his intense stare made her feel worse.

"Look at me." He said as he held her chin. Hesitatingly, she looked at him and she felt her heart beating rapidly.

His eyes contained so much emotion that it was suffocating to watch. She dropped her gaze and let it wander around the room.

"How did you get in here last night?" Gu Zhi asked as he placed his hands in his pocket.

Yu Xi fidgeted with her hands and blushed slightly.

"I-I you…"

"What?" Gu Zhi raised his brows as he gazed at her.

"I didn't see you come down again last when you entered your bedroom. Wait-it's not like I'm stalking you or anything. Nono I was just….worried. I overheard one of the maids saying they heard some muffled cries in your room so I-"

"Yu Xi-"

Gu Zhi interrupted her ranting and heaved a sigh

"Why were you worried about me? Don't tell me you like me?" He says. His voice sent shivers down her spine as she gulped.

Yu Xi widened her eyes when she heard him and shook her head aggressively.

"No-no." Gu Zhi raised his eyebrows in amusement. He stared down at her. His whole presence made her feel small.

The man literally screamed of power and he was intimidating as hell.

"Yu Xi." He called out. Her name rolled perfectly off his tongue. She couldn't help but swarm with butterflies. Her name has never sounded so good in someone's mouth before.

Slowly her head looked up to meet his eyes and time seemed to still for her.

"Don't fall in love with me, little rabbit. The devil's agent has no heart to love. I just came to destroy and kill."

Yu Xi stiffened when she heard him. His voice sent chills throughout her body. Before she could reply his phone rang and he answered it.

"What?!" He bellowed into the phone. Yu Xi couldn't help but tremble.

"Sir, Miss Feng is back in city S with her husband."

The other person on the phone reported to Gu Zhi the moment the call was connected.

Gu Zhi's lips curved into a sinister smile as a bloodthirsty madness brewed in his eyes. Remembering the pain he had felt he couldn't wait to rain the same torment on Feng Mei.

"Alright, continue to monitor them and report what they are up to to me."

"Okay Sir!" The man replied and with that Gu Zhi hung up the call.

He turned to look at Yu Xi who was looking at him with fear laced in her eyes and flashed her a mirthless smile.

"Do you want to hear a story?" Gu Zhi asked as he sat beside her on the bed. Without waiting for her reply he started,

"Once upon a time there was an ugly and fat girl who was usually bullied by people because of her looks."

Yu Xi looked at Gu Zhi and for some weird reason he looked so lonely and sad as if he has been abandoned by the whole world.

"It wasn't the girl's fault to be born this way but well society is heartless. One day while she was being bullied a Prince Charming came and saved her. And just like any normal girl would, she fell in love with him."

Gu Zhi lips curved into a sardonic smile as he continued.

"Unfortunately the Prince Charming already had his princess who was beautiful and elegant so he rejected the ugly girl. The rejection drove the girl into madness since she had become extremely obsessed with the only one who gave her kindness.

The girl's big brother who had promised their parents who had died early that year to take care of his little sister couldn't bear to see his sister like this so he promised her to avenge his sister."

Yu Xi knitted her brows in confusion when she heard him.

"Avenge who? His sister's bullies?"

Gu Zhi chuckled and shook his head.

"No, the princess."

"The princess? Why? What did she do? Is not her fault the princess didn't like his sister right?"

Yu Xi questioned Gu Zhi since what he was saying didn't even make sense. Who does that?

"No it's wasn't her fault. But who cares? It wasn't the ugly girl's fault to be born that way but society bullied her. Life isn't fair little rabbit."

Gu Zhi turned to Yu Xi as he said.

"The guy promised his sister to remove any obstacles in her love life and the princess was the obstacles. That night that he made that promise, his sister wore a wedding gown and hung herself. When he found her it was too late. He saw a letter on the bed and it was from his sister "

Gu Zhi took a deep breath,

"Dear brother don't cry. I'm going to marry my prince in the next life since you have promised to get rid of any obstacles for me. Remember your promise brother. I love you."

The brother felt his heart crashing inside him. He had no one left and his life was completely useless now. Even though his parents had left them an empire it couldn't compare to his sister's life.

He got angry at the world and the people in it. So he had only one goal in mind, no matter the cost. Remove the obstacles in his sister's happily ever after. So he got the princess and slowly broke her. Even though the Prince Charming killed him the damage was already done."

Yu Xi shook her head and sighed.

"The brother is more sick than the sister to be honest. Who does something like this? He should have helped his sister get better instead of promising her something so stupid. He is no different from his sister's bullies!"

Yu Xi ranted angrily, unfortunately she missed the emotions brewing in Gu Zhi's eyes.

"Me." Gu Zhi replied her.

"What do you mean you-" Yu Xi widened his eyes when what he said finally registered in her head.

"You…,so you're the brother?!"

Gu Zhi chuckled, "Yes."

Yu Xi stood up from the bed and moved back in fright.

"Then...how came you're still alive if the prince killed you?"

Gu Zhi chuckled, stood up and walked out of the room leaving Yu Xi.

The moment he left the weak appearance of Yu Xi disappeared and a glint of light passed through her eyes.

"Did you hear him?" She mumbled to no one in particular and the pendent around her neck glowed white.
