Bound By Marriage: Captivated By Love

A young woman was sleeping soundly on the king-size bed in a hotel room, which was decorated with a royal theme.

Her slim and delicate body was exposed. She felt her body was slowly becoming hot and her legs unconsciously rubbed against each other. ​​

She felt that she was caught in a dream in which she had always told herself to wake up, but failed no matter how hard she tried.

Meanwhile...

Jingyi Wang took a deep breath and tried very hard to suppress his anger.

He told himself that this was a trap disguise in gentleness.

The sweat on his forehead fell on the bed sheet. After a long time, he gradually cooled himself down. He looked down at the woman in the room and his face darkened.

He stood up from the bed and sat lazily on the couch, lightening a cigarette, waiting for the woman to wake up.

This woman had better explain to him why she was here.

Time went on and on. Jingyi Wang couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and walked up to her.

Suddenly, Li xiao felt a strong hand grabbed her legs and drag her down the bed.

"Ahh..." Xiao li screamed. She sat up in bed in a daze and then her head started to ache again because of her getting drunk yesterday.

Dazed, but still conscious, she looked up to see a man standing beside the bed with his cold, deep blue eyes staring intently at her.

She froze at a glance.

It was not because the man was ugly, otherwise, he was too handsome.

He has a dark brown hair, a pink thin lips. His features were deep and perfect, like a fine work of art. Her gaze traveled down to his body and noticed how noticeable his muscles are. He was good looking, but he gave her a strong sense of oppression.

Xiao li looked around and sense something different.

Where is this place?

She looked at the man in front of her and asked in horror. "Who are you?"

Jingyi frowned and said in a low voice, "Why are you pretending?"

Xiao li was shocked.

What was he talking about?

She raised her eyes and looked at the man. She couldn't help, but scream, "I don't know what you are talking about"

Seeing her like this, Jingyi sneered and said sarcastically. "You ran into my room last night and here you are playing dumb with me"

"What?" Li Xiao was stunned.

Did she heard him wrong?

She ran into his room last night?

"Tell me, who asked you to come here? What is your purpose?"

He asked. His voice was deep and rich, but cold and cruel.

Li Xiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her big eyes widened. "What are you talking about?" She retorted in confusion.

"What's your purpose?" he asked coldly.

Li Xiao was shocked. When she saw the anger and seriousness in his eyes, she quickly lowered her eyes and said, "Maybe it was a mistake. I did not come into your room to do anything bad or to hurt you"

"Mistake?" Jingyi Wang smiled coldly.

He did not believe that she mistakenly entered his room.

'Her acting is quite convincing, right?'

He thought.

Li Xiao's eyes scanned through the room subconsciously, then the memories of last night slowly flashed across her mind.

Last night, she went out with her childhood friend and how did she end up in his room.

Where did Zhi Ruo go?

Jingyi Wang gaze was steady as it soaked up every detail of her face. His cold eyes rested on Li Xiao for a moment and there was a flicker of angry recognition in the deepest, blackest part of them.

After looking at her for a few seconds, he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Li Xiao looked at her body and noticed she was naked. She screamed and quickly grabbed the duvet to cover herself.

How did she end up in this place?

While she was at a loss of what to do, she heard footsteps again. Jingyi Wang was coming back. She wrapped herself tightly to prevent her body from being exposed.

Jingyi Wang threw her clothes at her.

"What? Are you not going to leave? Do you still want to continue?"

These words escaped his delecable lips. His voice was deep, yet there was this seductive tone that resonated in her. There was also slight accent that followed his words and it felt as if he was caressing her without even touching her.

After that, he turned around and walked into the bathroom again.

Li Xiao blushed as she lowered her head in embarrassment. She removed the duvet and got out of bed, but her body ached badly as if it had just been torn apart. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself; there were purplish-green marks on her neck, hand and chest which are definitely obvious to the eyes.

She quickly gather her clothes, put them on and left the room.

After she left, Jingyi Wang came out of the bathroom and looked at the messy bed. His eyes darkened the more when he thought of her.

"Damn it! That foolish girl!" he cursed aloud.

At that moment, the door opened and An Jun came inside. He bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Wang, the woman that just left your room was with her friend last night. She was drunk that was why she ended up in your room..." he paused to take a deep breath before he continued, "Her name is Li xiao. She is 22 years old. She is the daughter of the Xiao family and she is the only daughter of the xiao family. She works at..."

Jingyi held up his hand in a stopping gesture. "Enough! You can leave now"

An Jun bowed and left the room.

As Li Xiao walked down the streets, she tried to remember how she got to that man's room. She lowered her eyes to look at her messy clothes.

That sick man...

Suddenly, she remembered Zhi Ruo. She pulled out her phone from her bag and dialed a number

"Hello, Zhi Ruo?" Li Xiao said slowly and in a low voice.

As soon as Zhi Ruo heard Li Xiao's voice, she yelled, "Li Xiao, where the heck did you go to last night? I looked for you everywhere. Do you know how worried I was?"

Li Xiao closed her eyes, pulling the phone away from her ear to spare her eardrum. She put the phone back to her ear and sighed deeply.

"Calm down. Calm down, okay?"

"Calm down? Do you know that I went to file a missing case yesterday?" Zhi Ruo yelled into the phone.

Li Xiao was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. She knew her friend only cares about her safety.

Li Xiao said, "I was trapped in a short room last night"

"Huh? How did that happen?" Zhi Ruo asked.

Li Xiao continued, "I don't know how it happened, but when I woke up this morning, I found myself in a store room. The sales person was the one who helped me out. I tried calling, but couldn't get through"

Li Xiao and Zhi Ruo had known each other for nearly fifteen years and there was no secret between them, but today, Li xiao had to lie.

After listening to Li xiao explanation, Zhi Ruo said calmly, "Okay, so where are you now?"

"Uh... I'm at... let's meet at the coffee shop"

"Mhm"

In the coffee shop, Zhi Ruo was sitting at a table, drinking coffee quietly. As soon as she saw Li Xiao coming inside, she stood up and ran towards her.

She held her hand and said, "Thank God you are save. I don't know what I would have done if something bad had happened to you. I took you out last night and you suddenly went missing" Zhi Ruo stopped talking when she saw the marks on Li Xiao's neck.

Her eyes narrowed as she reached out her hand to touch Li Xiao's neck, "What's this?"

She realised that Zhi Ruo was talking about the marks on her neck and quickly cover up the marks with her clothes. "Ah, this? it's nothing. I think something bit me in the store room" she sheepishly lied.

Zhi ruo stared at her and said, "Oh, okay. Let's go back home. I am sure aunt will be waiting for you and I have an explanation to give her when we get there"

Li Xiao looked at her. "What explanation?"

"How you got missing and how I found you" she replied.

All of a sudden, Li Xiao's phone started ringing.
