Rubbing her palm together, she continued. "Lifen tells me of her little tricks with her brother in law. Shouldn't you be bothered? That's your brother shes frustrating."

Little Fool stopped to stare at her. "My brother? You mean my cousin."

She shook her head again and smiled faintly. "Your family is weird."

"Perhaps I should have also stayed back then. I think its fun to be mothered by her. Seeing how well shes brought those two up, it annoys me to know they are happy."

"Only an idiot would think like that, Little Fool."

"And I am a fool aren't I? I should curse My Devil...giving me such a name. Who would have thought it would stick with me. Now even peasants call me Little Fool."

Seductress froze. He noticed her expression and laughed. "You aren't a peasant are you? I should consider marrying you. Your familys wealth is enormous."

"So is yours. I was informed you were about to leave today."

"That Devil ruined my plans. Seems she doesn't like me anymore. Shes more than happy."

"Who would have thought she would end up marrying him."she whispered.

Little Fool had a thoughtful look on his face. His intense eyes stared into space. "How is she coming along?"

Seductress knew who he was talking about. "Shes feeding well. Her condition isnt quite okay. But shes good. You wont go to see her?"

He didnt reply. "What if shes..."

He stared at her with those intense eyes that felt like he was about to suck her in. "I know what I speak of. Shes not mine to hold."

"Lousy.." and they smiled.

In China....the following morning, Xiao Ai was surprised that when she woke up, her hubby was already awake staring at her.

"Good morning Mrs Gu. Did you sleep well?" He questioned with a knowing smile.

She propped herself up and stared at him. Was he really asking her that? With all the soreness she felt, it would be a miracle if she slept absolutely well.

"What do you think?" When she spoke her voice was very raspy so she coughed and coughed and cleared her throat. "What happened...to my voice?" She glared at him.

Gu Bojing found it amusing so he laughed. "How wonderful! You lost your voice during sex." He brought her closer to himself so that she was now lying on him. And she was naked and warm from last night activities. "I overestimated your strength. You dont have that much strength in you."

She scoffed and tried to pry herself off him. Shameless! "Really. Do you want to test my strength?" her voice still raspy.

He smiled and repositioned them so she was lying beneath him, as he parted her legs and stroked her opening. "I would like to try."

She quickly pushed him off. If she were to allow him do anything she would probably not be able to work. With her strength she got off the bed, naked. "That's not what I meant. Do you want to try fighting me. Fight me and test my strength."

Gu Bojing looked pleased with her current position. She had her hands on the bed and legs off the bed, staring at him as if challenging him. "We should try that position later."

When she realised what he was thinking, she threw a pillow at him. "Vulgar." And walked into the bathroom.

He followed and they bickered back and forth.

"Why would I want to test your strength by fighting you? That's so illogical."

"Why? Because I am a girl?"

He checked the temperature of the shower. "Of course not. Because you are a devil. Only an idiot would pick a fight with you."

"Are you saying I only fight with idiots?"

"Its obvious you would beat me up. Why try?"

"How is it obvious?"

"Look at your muscles. Bigger than mine."

She was about to step in the bath when he spoke. She slapped the back of his head. "I dont have muscles!" She exclaimed. "So if were to be in a dangerous situation what would you do?"

He helped her into the bath before smiling. "What else? I would hide behind you Mrs Gu."

She splashed water on him. "Shameless."

"You taught me well." He responded with a fake bow.

"What do you take me to be..."
