"Qu Xing Xu, let go of me." Lin Xiaofei calmly said. She had to yield and call his name when her current situation does not allow her to do anything.

Unlike Ke Song or Shen Mo, the man pinning her down had an ability that was above the experts who practice the martial arts and the art of killing. She\'s heard of the stories circulating around him and knew better than anyone that it wasn\'t just mere rumors.

At a young age, Qu Xing Xu already went out to the Xinyan Border to battle with the savages and other groups that wanted to swallow the city that was next to the border. However, with his meticulous leading and ability to bring his armed enemies down, the savages and other groups who fought against him didn\'t meet a desirable end.

And she just had to witness and feel the dangerous aura he was exuding and she had no doubt that if she did stab him, he will not be so lenient as just pinning her down.

Although she wasn\'t afraid of death, what Lin Xiaofei was scared of was the thought that she wouldn\'t be able to achieve her revenge and kill off her enemies.

That\'s why she decided not to further anger him..

Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei wished she hadn\'t made her personal servants leave. If they were around, this man wouldn\'t brazenly enter her room and dare pin her down.

"What are you thinking about?" She heard Qu Xing Xu asking. His face was too close and their lips were inches apart that if he tried to move his face slightly forward, their lips would meet each other.

Lin Xiaofei stared at him, "You\'re heavy." After saying that, she saw his eyes widening, seemingly surprised to hear her say that. He probably expected her to say something else.

"I am what?"

"Heavy…"

The silence that fell in the room like the curtain of the night was suffocating until a throaty yet, a pleasant laugh was soon heard after the silence.

Qu Xing Xu let her go and sat up. When he stopped laughing, there was a smile playing on his lips. He had never thought that someone would tell him that he was heavy. Of course, as a grown-up man, there was no way for him to be lighter than the woman that was lying on the bed. However, he had never thought that she would really tell him what she was thinking without caring if the other person will be hurt or offended by her thoughts.

If it was another woman who he held under him, they would probably do everything they could to make him stay on top of that, but this woman who told him that he was \'heavy\' was different.

Lin Xiaofei supported herself with her elbows as she stared at him. She was confused as to why he was laughing. She was only telling the truth anyway, so why was he laughing at her words?

From the time that Qu Xing Xu pinned her down, his hard chest was above her and when he went closer, his weight almost took her breath away. He wasn\'t heavy alright but he was heavier than her.

And it has been a few minutes since he was on top of her and by the time he asked her what she was thinking, the only thing that entered her mind was when will he get off her and how heavy he was.

"I underestimated you," he said after laughing. His eyes looked back to her. "Xiaofei, do you know that any woman would pay any amount just to have me on top of them."

His words were extremely shameless and inappropriate.

"I wish I can meet them and exchange with them." She said in a dead-pan tone, "It wouldn\'t hurt to have more money."

As she said that, she also sat up and fixed her clothes. She was wearing only her inner clothes and thus, Qu Xing Xu was choked to see her not even changing her expression nor blushing as she did that.

Not only that, he almost felt like strangling the woman beside him for thinking of using him to gain more money.

Suddenly, a thought entered his mind and asked her, "You\'re out of money?"

His question made Lin Xiaofei frown and before she could say something she heard him speak again.

"In the future, if you need money. Go to Hong Pei Lou and ask the waiter you met last time for more money." Pausing a little bit he continued, "And if it\'s not enough, you can also send someone or go personally to my residence to get more."

Lin Xiaofei paused from buttoning her collar as she stared at him in shock. This man… what is he talking about?

She couldn\'t comprehend why her words led him to suggest her to go to Hong Pei Lou and his residence to get money.

She wanted to decline but on second thought, having more money wouldn\'t be that bad. As they treated each other as allies who will plan and scheme against the royal family, this should be normal right?

"Alright." She finally said after a second and looked down to casually button her clothes.

Because she had her eyes lowered, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t see that the smile on Qu Xing Xu\'s lips broadened and his mood became lighter. He felt a sense of pride and delight when he heard her answer.

Not glancing in his way, Lin Xiaofei got off the bed with the intention to wear her middle and outer clothes when suddenly, the man who sat on the edge of the bed pulled her to him and she ended up sitting on his lap.

"Qu Xing Xu!" She tried to get off him but his hold around her waist was tight, "What are you doing?!"

"Isn\'t one\'s help should be repaid with gratitude?"

She stared at him as if he was someone who grew two heads on his shoulders.

Chuckling at her unrestrained reaction, Qu Xing Xu made circles on the lower of her back, "I just promised to let you use my money. What can you give to me as a replacement?"

Was he being serious with her right now? Thought Lin Xiaofei to herself. What can she possibly get as a replacement for his money? Should she pay him back with money? That\'s impossible. Not when his tone was obviously not asking her to repay it with her money.

Could it be…

"There\'s no need for me to repay you. I don\'t want your money." Lin Xiaofei said after some thoughts. She tried to get off him as she buried her nails on his forearm, drawing blood in the process and leaving crescent marks on his translucent skin.

Qu Xing Xu said, "That\'s impossible, my dear. As far as I know. With your brilliant mind, there\'s no way the Lin family\'s treasury can accommodate all of the expenses for your plans."

Lin Xiaofei didn\'t think that he actually guessed that she planned to use the Lin family\'s treasury. What\'s more, Qu Xing Xu seemed to know the extent of the money inside the treasury of the Lin family.

"Don\'t look at me like that." Qu Xing Xu said after he saw her narrowing her eyes with silent accusations.

"It\'s not my fault that the Lin residence\'s security is lacking in guarding the place safe from me." He said it so confidently and proudly. He even said \'me\' instead of thieves as if just being associated with them doesn\'t bring justice to his greatness.

Thinking about it again, Qu Xing Xu entered the residence without having the soldiers patrolling outside know that someone trespassed the place.

"So, what about it?" He asked. He stared at her with a serious look on his face, "Will you take my money or not?"

As much as Lin Xiaofei didn\'t want it, she needed the money and have to use the resources he could give to her.

She couldn\'t make use of Lin Xiaomeng\'s money because she was feeling uncomfortable with lying and trying to use the old man who truly cared for her. The guilt of making that sparkling eyes filled with doting and love for his granddaughter disappearing and replaced with sorrow and hate seemed to haunt her even just by thinking about it.

"What do you want?" She asked him. It seems that she will have to use Qu Xing Xu\'s resources instead of the old man\'s.

"What can you give to me?" He didn\'t answer and instead, threw back the question to her.

"I don\'t know, but I\'m willing to do anything." She saw him opening his mouth and she said quickly, "Of course, I won\'t do anything that is unreasonable and that exceeds my limits."

Qu Xing Xu raised his eyebrows before grinning, "Let\'s talk about your limits next time. But for now…" he let her go and Lin Xiaofei stood up before stepping away from him, "Why don\'t we talk about what you planned to do after what happened in the palace?"
