The Devil who devoured Snow White

Lu Mengjie was straight to the point. She has always been one and because of her straightforwardness, Yong Liwei was caught off-guard.

"Ha…rem?" he asked in confirmation.

"Yes, you heard me correctly. I want you to join my harem. If you're worried about food and lodging, don't be, I'll pay for everything as long as you stay loyal to me."

"…" Yong Liwei once met Xia Liqin since he was his nephew. Aside from their business partnership, he once talked about his sister. He described her in one word: crazy. This woman was not trying to invite him to bed right now but instead, she was recruiting him in her harem.

"Well?"

The side of his lips curled up into a small smile as he replied, "I don't remember lacking money so I'm going to politely decline the charity you're offering."

"I never said anything about you lacking money. I know who you are." She took her glass of daiquiri and sipped a bit.

Yong Liwei wasn't a strange name for her. Aside from knowing that he was her brother's uncle, she also knew that he owned one of the largest retail real estate investment trusts and the largest shopping mall operator in Asia. She has always thought that he was an old man since she never met him.

Older men may be her type but she didn't mean the ones who were too old for her. The man in front of her didn't look like his age at all. He may not look like it but their age difference was almost by two decades apart. Even if he was older by almost twenty years, he looked ten years less young.

"What if I'm married?" He asked before picking up his glass of liquor.

"If you are then why are you not wearing any ring?" She rested her elbow by the counter as she looked at him with a cunning smirk. "Besides, I remember my baby brother telling me that you are one of the richest bachelors he knew."

"What if I'm hiding a secret wife?"

"Then that wife must be me."

Yong Liwei looked at her with astonishment in his eyes. They ended up staring at each other, the music and the chattering voices on the background slowly faded as they entered a world of their own. "I don't think you'll want to deal with me, Ms. Lu, after all, I'm a very busy man. I won't have time for you."

"And yet we're already having the perfect time of our life. Both our ideals may be impossibly high but here we are, meeting each other's standards."

"…" This smooth... shameless woman.

He couldn't stop his smile from growing which only made Lu Mengjie want him more when she saw that his beauty couldn't be matched up by the other men in her harem. That charming smile was dangerous. It was making her heart race like it has a crazy mind of its own.

"I don't like sharing what's mine," he said upon remembering the 'harem' she has.

"So do I."

"But you have a harem."

"It can't be helped, I like picking up handsome and pretty boys," she grinned, refusing to back off even after understanding what he meant.

He placed his glass back on the counter before he reached out his gloved hand just so he could hold her hand. Just as he thought… touching her has no effect. There was no sickening feeling, it didn't make his blood turn cold. There was no sense of disgust. Maybe because he was wearing gloves? He released her hand just to take off his gloves.

"It will be an honor to have you in my harem, Mr. Yong," she said as she watched him remove his gloves. He must be one of those guys who didn't like to be touch and yet here he was, initiating it.

"I don't like the idea of sharing you," he reached out and held her chin this time with his bare hand. They felt a sudden spark the moment their skin touched, surprising them. They didn't move for a moment. A crease appeared between his brows when he felt it.

Lu Mengjie continued to stare at his provocative gaze. It slowly traveled to his firmly etched mouth. She wondered how his lips would feel against hers but she stopped her urge to kiss him with a great amount of control.

He smiled inwardly as he didn't feel disgusted from the touches. He quietly watched her crave for his lips. He leaned close to her face as a tease, just a few inches away from hers. "You have to choose. If you want to have me, you must disband your harem."

She snapped out and cast her eyes back into his assessing eyes that bore into her. She ended up chuckling lightly as she replied, "that I can't do."

"Then you'll lose me."

"That I can't allow." She had no intention of leaving until she had him. "You see, I'm a very greedy woman."

He could clearly see that but even if he was attracted to her feistiness, that didn't mean he was going to give in to what she wanted. "I happen to be a very greedy person too. So what should we do about this, Ms. Lu?"

"I can make you the head of my harem," she offered without holding back even a little. She actually wanted Si Hongqi to be the head but he has rejected her for so many years. Even her persistence had a limit when he finally rejected her love for him earlier that day.

Yong Liwei leaned back, releasing her chin as he ended up giving a heartful laugh which caught the attention of those around them, especially the women who were charmed by his beauty. Sadly, when they saw another woman with him, they couldn't approach him.

Lu Mengjie was definitely different in an interesting way which made him want to learn more about her. He was never interested in being in a serious relationship. He may have a few flings here and there back then but not once did he love the women he was with.

"Fine, I will join your harem," he said as he finally gave in. "But in two conditions," he continued.

Lu Mengjie was delighted when she heard what he said. Whatever conditions he has, she was sure that she would be able to fulfill it. "What is it?" She asked.

"I want to meet the others." He could just scare them off and have her for himself.

"Sure, that's easy." She grinned happily at him. "What's the second condition?"

Yong Liwei stared at her for a while, finding her adorable as he gazed into her sparkling eyes. She was like a rabbit. Cute and innocent. He was reminded of that cartoon character his sister watched during her childhood… What was her name again? Ah… it was Snow White. Her hair was as black as coal, skin pale as snow, rosy cheeks and lips red as blood. Lu Mengjie was the perfect example of how Snow White should look in real life.

Sadly, this Snow White was about to be eaten…

"Sleep with me. This is my second condition."
