"It's nothing!" Leia snapped, quickly turning away and hiding her face with her hair, reluctant to let others see her vulnerability. "Nothing? Your face is swollen!" Xavier exclaimed as he gently lifted her chin and brushed her hair off, studying her face with a pained look. Who could have imagined that in just a matter of days, the woman who strutted like she owned the place would end up looking so pitiful?"Who did this to you?" He demanded, his brow tightly furrowed as if his favorite toy was broken, and he looked bent on cutting the culprit into pieces."No one. I fell," Leia said, moving away from his touch and turning her back on him.She was just like Renee—she held herself with great pride and would act nonchalant even if she was bruised and battered.Xavier was not easily fooled, however, and took her hand as he growled. "We're going back.""Back? Back where?""The detention center.""No! It took me so much to get out—I'm not going back! That place is hell. It's not

Having vented all her grievances, Leia stopped assaulting the women and warned them even as they shook in their boots. "I will spare your lives today, but remember—bully another innocent, and you will suffer a worse fate!"They promptly kowtowed to Leia. "Thank you, thank you! We will always remember that!"Having endured such a terrible experience, they were made to understand that there was always a bigger fish and that they should never be so quick to bully.With that, Leia and Xavier left the detention center without leaving any evidence behind—as if they had never been there before."Hand," Xavier suddenly told her."Hand?"Leia had no idea what he intended, but she was in a good mood and generously held out her dainty hand.His large palm wrapped around hers right then, gently caressing it as he said seriously, "You must be tired. Let me give you a massage."Under the bright moonlight, the affection he had for her was so obvious in his flawless, handsome face.Leia space

Leia was left flushing all the way to her ears by Xavier's obvious innuendos."Y-You're such a pig!" She snapped, and slapped him across his chiseled cheek before shoving him as far as she could. "I must have been crazy to think that you were nice, but you're nothing but a pig!" Seeing that she really was upset, Xavier finally stopped smiling and explained, "Okay, okay—I was just messing with you. Also, I don't mean 'enjoy' in the way you think. It's a misunderstanding.""Then how do you mean it?!""I heard from someone that you like crayfish, and I bought ten pounds so that you'd have enough for a while. In some cultures, it's a food that wards off bad luck too. How is that for your enjoyment?""Crayfish?!"Leia's eyes lit up at those words—she had to admit that crayfish was her favorite food, bar none. She would devour them whenever they were in season, or she could not stand it.And while she was incarcerated, it was what she missed most of the world outside.In that case,

Leia froze, feeling as if every fiber of her being was jolted while her heart raced.She turned towards Xavier and feigned nonchalance as she scoffed. "I have to give it to you—you really know your way around a girl's heart. But I'm immune now, so just spare me."In fact, it was almost a habit for him to flirt—to speak ambiguously, then make a clean break from her when she was lost in love. When that happened, she would not even cry…Hah! That was why no matter how much her heart raced for him—no matter how much she loved him, she was not about to fall for the same trap. All those ambiguous words, stirring emotions, and enigmatic affection? She would rather live without those!"Really? What a shame…" Xavier trailed off.However, a hunter as experienced as he understood that Leia was just being obstinate and not actually eager to leave.As such, he walked up to her, staring at her dainty, fresh face as he wiped the pepper sauce staining the corner of her lips, and said slowly, "

Xavier stood stiffly in place as she told her coolly, "You should have known better. What's the point of saying all that now?!""I made a mistake, Xavier. Can't you forgive me? I've already made it clear to the old man that I would be with you… even if he's going to cancel me!"The woman grabbed his waist like her life depended on it and cried a river—she was none other than Shirley White, the star actress whom Xavier brought to stardom and the one who occupied a part of his heart—and the reason he had a chip on his shoulder! Their story was one you would find in romance novels—the rich showbiz tycoon falling in love at first sight with the young actress with modest roots. He then broke the bank to push her towards stardom, even keeping himself chaste for her, as if Casanova himself decided to reform…In fact, anyone searching for Xavier's name online would always yield results for Shirley as well. Countless netizens fawned over them, wrote fanfiction, and shipped them to kingdom
