Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

"You must fight it before it completely consumes you." Li Mao wanted to move closer to her daughter but was stopped by Gao Tsu, who shook his head at his daughter-in-law. 

He had already listened to Wei Jiayi telling him to shut up, but he was still antsy on what the dragon was trying to do by moving close to Gao Lan Mei. 

Since Wei Jiayi was still alive, that also meant he was doing something right. 

"I told you before, I will give you everything you want. Even if it is the same dress." Wei Jiayi uttered softly, reminding her that he meant every word that he had promised before. 

Then he told Gao Lan Mei, "I also like how your neck looks like now," looking at her neck, his eyes getting softer. 

With a smirk, "You made it like that, so that makes sense." Wei Jiayi had successfully gotten her attention again. 

"Mei Mei, this is enough, lets go back. Eat lots of food and sleep for the rest of the day. You can also play with Kai Kai if you want to," Wei Jiayi offered softly trying to persuade. 

Gao Lan Mei did not answer, instead, she lifted both her hands, in an attempt to reach out to Wei Jiayi. 

However, before she could touch his skin, her hands halted directly across his face, so close that he could feel the heat on her palms, ready to greedily get his spiritual energy. 

"Heh, since I am a demon, does your word still count?" She asked knowingly. Only an idiot man would sacrifice himself, just because of some petty words, made as a promise. 

Instead of answering, Wei Jiayi lowered his face to touch Gao Lan Mei's hand, his face immediately went pale "Demon or not you are still my wife. Even if you turn into a rat, that will never change," he uttered firmly not caring how others looked at him at that time. 

"Wei Jiayi! You have lost your mind! Why are you giving her more spiritual energy?!" Li Mao exclaimed after she saw what he had done. Had he lost his mind as well?

"Why are you not listening to them?" Gao Lan Mei asked, frowning at Wei Jiayi's action. She tried to remove her hand but was stopped by him when he held her wrists. "You are looking for death." 

"Come back to me," Wei Jiayi said, staring at her intently with mismatched silver and yellow eyes. His predator side was helping, trying to look for her remaining humanity. "You can do this." He said with confidence. 

Wei Jiayi would never doubt her. His tigress, who has her own will and stood by it. 

Gao Lan Mei shivered lightly at the flashes of memory from their last interaction. His n.a.k.e.d proud self, their recent playful banter. The way he always got her attention, and his possessively trying to keep it that way. 

She shook the memory off her head finding it unimportant, compared to the strength that she was going to get from him.

However, hurting him gave her a strong ache. It already made her feel uncomfortable when his face had started to get pale. She tugged her hands strongly, for him to release her, but he would not let go. 

"Let go! You really want to get hurt!" Gao Lan Mei exclaimed furiously. 

With a knowing smile, "Are you going to hurt me? I do not mind. I am yours anyway. I owe you everything. I will give you my life without hesitation if you want me to." Wei Jiayi said while continuing to hold her wrists, using it to force her hands to stay on touching his face.
