His Domineering Lover

Adrian and Aleigha had never liked such a high-profile scene. They sat at the table and whispered to each other,

"Adrian, how come you don't visit your uncle and aunt anymore now that your parents are not around?"

Darien's mother had been married to the Xiao family for many years and still possessed a fiery temperament. She was naturally clearly aware of the open strife between the Xiao boys. However, Adrian had long been more powerful than Darien, especially in the past two years.

Adrian's rapid rise had already left Darien far behind. The several great families in City A were completely torn apart by Adrian, causing quite a few elders to be alarmed.

Each and every member of the Xiao family was the most outstanding one of the most elite, and Darien's mother was ever more so the case.

On the surface, she was extremely enthusiastic towards Adrian, but everyone knew how she thought of him yet not dared to say anything in private.

"I'm busy with work and have no time." Adrian's

cold attitude was well-known.

No one, except for Aleigha, could ever see a smile on his iceberg of a face.

Obviously, Darien's mother was used to his indifference. She smiled and turned to look at Aleigha.

A hint of fierceness flashed across her eyes as she scrutinized her. "The girl from the Gardner family?"

Aleigha wanted to get up, but Adrian stopped her, so she had to nod her head.

"Well, the name does speak for itself, doesn't it? Not a sign of manners being showed."

Adrian's thick eyebrows twitched when he heard this. He immediately stood up. His eyes were so cold that it caused one's heart to quiver.

"If I were you, I'd spend more of my time on educating my son and minding my own business."

Darien's mother was naturally rather timid when talking to Adrian.

Adrian had never been scared of anyone ever since he was a mere child. And his eyes greatly took after his father's.

"Adrian, you..."

Her face was ashen and she looked rather ridiculous as she miserably tried to hold back her anger. Finally, she waved her hands irritatedly and waddled away.

"I had thought that my family was already one of a kind, who would expect the Xiao family to be just the same?"

Adrian looked back at Aleigha and suddenly raised his hand to hold her chin. "Little thing, now you are also a member of the Xiao family."

"Well, guess I got into the lion's den when I just made a narrow escape from the tiger's cave."

Aleigha's face was filled with grief. In Adrian's eyes, it was a blatant provocation.

"Little thing, what I did last night wasn't enough to keep your mouth shut, was it?"

Hearing this, Aleigha covered her mouth in a hurry. What happened last night was still vivid in her mind.

This guy seemed to be tireless and had an endless desire. She was so tired that it took a lot of energy to walk, her waist and back aching.

If it weren't for the fact that she was too sleepy in the end, she knew very well that they would probably still be on the bed by now.

"Alright, alright, I got it, okay? I won't say anything anymore."

Adrian glared at herteasingly and turned back.

The lunch began.

Darien slowly walked out with Aubrie, who was wearing a golden gown.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Aubrie was smiling like a blooming rose, but from time to time, she would look over to Adrian.

During the banquet, Aleigha saw two familiar figures, Caroline and her mother.

In such a scene, however, they were dressed in shabby clothes. Aleigha wondered since Darien brought them, why couldn't he bother to at least dress them properly? Adrian also noticed the two of them. Most of the guests were looking at the couple, only the two of them were looking left and right, looking quite suspicious.

Adrian took Aleigha's hand and whispered in her ear, "Later, no matter what happens, stay by my side."

"Keep your eyes open."

Aleigha nodded slightly and smiled. Looking from a distance, it seemed that Adrian told her a joke.

After the ceremony, the two families agreed on the date of the wedding, and the Xiao family gave the other side a generous gift.

Aubrie's parents were very satisfied. However,

Darien's parents did not appear to be very happy.

After all, Aubrie's reputation in City A was not good.

With Darien's status, he could certainly find someone much better.

The dishes were being served and Aleigha had quite a good appetite.

Adrian, who was sitting beside her was eating his steak in an elegant

mante in front of him the whole

manner. His eyes were all fixedzon

the

time.

"Cousin." Caroline came over. There was fear in her eyes and her voice was lower.

Aleigha raised her eyes and looked at her. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly and she lowered her head again.

"Yeah," Adrian replied in a low voice, but he didn't even look up.

"Adrian, I'm deeply sorry for the trouble we had caused you."

Caroline's mother, as always, came up, trying to smooth things out. Adrian didn't reply.

"Cousin, please forgive me." Caroline suddenly knelt on the ground.

Her action attracted a lot of people's attention, and they all turned to look at her.

Adrian's gaze was slightly cold as he looked at his cousin kneeling beside him. He suddenly stood up.

"Aleigha, I'm a little tired."

Then, Aleigha also got up.

The two of them walked out of the banquet hall in front of everyone.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After walking out of the banquet hall, Adrian pulled Aleigha back to the room quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing will be wrong as long as we are careful enough."

Adrian's face was serious. He took off his jacket and lay on the bed with Aleigha in his arms.

Soon, they fell asleep.

It was not until the afternoon that someone knocked on the door.

"Get lost!" Adrian hated being disturbed the most when he was sleeping.

Aleigha was woken up by the noise. She looked at the time and found that it was already 5 p.m.

Adrian, who was woken up by the

noise,

Pet

He got up and got dressed,

remaining silent all the time.

However, he patiently waited for Aleigha to wash up and dress up. They didn't go downstairs until it was past six o'clock.

Almost all the members of the Xiao

Family had arrived at the banquet

hall. Since they didn't need to be there at all, Adrian proposed that they went somewhere else.

He drove out of the hotel with Aleigha.

At dusk.

The cool breeze was wantonly blowing, and it was no longer as hot as it was in the daytime, so he was in a much better mood.

Adrian parked the car in the parking lot by the sea and pulled Aleigha to walk on the beach.

This beach was a private property that Adrian bought a few years ago, but he rarely came here.

The two of them held hands, enjoying the sunset, the cool breeze, and the beach.

There was also a rare hint of a smile on Adrian's face.

"You know what they are planning, right? Then why did we come in the first place?"

"I wanted to see what they are gonna pull off. But then I regretted because you are here with me."

"I don't want you to be involved. It doesn't matter if it's just gonna be me since I've had it more than a few times."

"I don't want you to be in any danger. The Xiao family is much more terrifying than you can possibly imagine."

His steps stopped in an instant. Aleigha looked back at Adrian, and her eyes were filled with a mysterious light. "You know I'm not afraid."

"I believe in you no matter what. They invited the both of us, it's pretty clear that they want to use me to hold you back."

"Why don't we just play along with them since they wanna play so badly? I do wanna see Darien suffering some setbacks." "Ha, I've been worried sick about you and know you tell me you wanna fight back?"

"He does still owe us two bullets to the guts, doesn't he?"

"That's not something I can get over with."

"You know it will be very dangerous."

"Well, I do. But I'm not afraid as long as you are here with me."
