Chapter 29 Be Serious About Cheating Money and Sex
The aisle lamp glowed with warm orange light, and Luke deliberately approached her. Although he didn't say anything, Natalie still understand something indescribable.
"Drawer?" Natalie felt shy unconsciously, and then replied in a soft voice, "I didn't put anything in your living room."
"Not in my home." Luke said.
Natalie guessed seriously,"My home?"
He nodded, but Natalie didn't remember it,because she hadn't been in her house for a week: "You mean candy?"
Exactly,there were a lot of candies in the drawer, but if it was just a candy, would it be necessary to tease her like that ?
Luke smiled and looked into her eyes. Sit was sincere and dazed. He almost gave up making fun of her. He looked at her and pretended to remind, "The pink one." Natalie was stunned for a while, and her heart did a complete somersault.
Just before her remembrances awake,  Luke lowered his head again and breathed in her ear. His voice was so soft that it seemed like it was talking privately.
He said, "That thing has two bunny ears."
"..."
Now it was impossible for Natalie not to think of it, and it was also impossible for her not to realize what was the bunny-shaped thing. Natalie was shocked and her heart beated violently. After a brief daze, she became annoyed and gave him a big push.
"How can you pry into a girl's privacy?"Luke didn't expect that and was easily pushed to the wall by her.
Luke looked into her eyes with a smile. He acted quite innocently, "Be reasonable, it is you to ask me to help you get the book."
And there was also an instruction book for it, so it was hard not to know.
"You..."Natalie lost for words and couldn't take a breath. Her cheeks were blushing.
Was there anything more deadly than sex toys being seen by men? ! But after all, it wasn't him that was wrong indeed. Natalie 's nightdress had lotus lapels, and her long hair was loosely tied behind her head. It was seen that her neck and ears were all blushed, especially the earlobes, which were like dripping blood and they must be very hot.
She looks pitiful ,so Luke decided not to make fun of her. Then Luke patted her head , said, "Go to sleep" and turned back to his bedroom with a smile still on his face.
It seemed nothing ever happened.
Their rooms were next to each other. Luke opened the door and  Natalie backed to her sense and stepped forward abruptly at the moment Luke got out of her room.
"That, that's not mine..." Natalie followed him and hurried to prove her innocence, and didn't realize that she was in his room now. Before Luke turned on the light, she squeezed in front of him. It was dark and there was only some faint light from the corridor.
In the darkness, Natalie seriously raised her head and looked at him,"It's a gift from a friend and it has nothing to do with me." Luke didn't expected that she would come,he retracted his hand and asked lazily with arms around ,"Have you ever had a such  considerate friend?"
"Don't you believe me?"
He smiled without answering, turned his back to the light, and his face was dim in the darkness. 
Natalie was quite embarrassed and busy explaining but couldn't explain it clearly. She almost cried, "What I say is the truth. It is new. I have never used it."
Luke thought,"I let her off just now but she gave herself to me, how could I restrain myself from teasing her?" Luke asked deliberately, "Not used it yet?"
"Sure." Her eyes were bright in the darkness.
He chuckled and pretended to be serious,"Okay, I see." 
Natalie was in a moment of indiscretion, why did she talk about the topic of use or not again? She didn't thought it clearly. Luke's tone was too weird, and the words "I see" were really teasing.
It seemed that it was implying that he knew what to do after.
Natalie was thin-skinned, blushing with embarrassment, and said with his last dignity, "What do you mean?you still don't believe it, right?"
Sit was only at the height of his shoulders, so when she looked at him, she raised her head,neither humble nor arrogant, which made her look so charming and cute. 
Luke looked at her and seemed very interested in chatting.
"It means..." He drawled,put his hand behind her neck, and turned on the light. 
Natalie subconsciously avoided his outstretched arm. Suddenly, the chandelier was turned on, and the darkness in the spacious space dissipated. The wall cabinets were grayish white. The pillows were haze blue. Several black clothes were thrown on the stool.
A bedroom belonging to a man appeared.
Luke continued as he pulled off the belt of his nightgown , "I'm going to sleep." Natalie panicked, "Don't take it off now!"
He just laughed, not stopping, and walked to the bed: " Oh,my innocent Dr. Moore, have you never seen a man's body, haven't you?" 
Natalie hurriedly covered her eyes.
As his voice faded away, Natalie looked through her fingers carefully. 
Luke threw his pajama on the stool at the end of the bed, and lay in the quilt, leaning on the pillow. His exposed shoulders and arms were strong and muscular, alluring people inadvertently.
"You don't go back? Do you want to sleep here?" Luke propped up on the bed and deliberately glanced at the bed: "Big enough."
"..." Natalie was tongue-tied, thought, "He is such a sanctimonious beast!
He was quite content, "Close the door for me whether you stay or not, don't let Fourteen laugh at us." 
Natalie looked back and found Fourteen was squatting at the door, wagging his tail as if it was laughing at her. She couldn't clear her name anymore. 
Natalie glared at him angrily and turned away. Luke called her from behind, but Natalie turned a deaf ear and didn't close the door for him.
What Luke could do was only smiling and watching her leave.
That night ,Natalie was lying on the bed tossing and turning, not because of fear, but because she couldn't help recalling what happened just now.
In the night of the late winter , she felt very hot.
She kicked the quilt away, Natalie turned around and lay on her side. In the dim light of the night light, she saw eye to eye with Fourteen beside the bed.
She said softly, " Fourteen , do you think he is a bad guy ?"
Fourteen was lying on the carpet, so sleepy that it was about to fall asleep. When it heard, its tail fluttered softly, as if to answer her. Natalie smiled and closed her eyes.
Natalie didn't know when she fell asleep. But after she woke up, the sun was shining brightly through the floor-to-ceiling window . Fourteen stood by the window and kept looking out. Natalie didn't know what it was looking at.
The embarrassment last night was not forgotten. Natalie scratched her hair in distress, sat up, and stared sleepily at the sky through the window, thinking about how to face Luke .
"I should forget what the bad guy did." thought Natalie.. 
When Natalie was thinking, the mobile phone on the bedside table rang, and she saw that it was a text message from Luke .
His message was " I went out to do errands, stay and don't leave , the meals will be delivered on time." Natalie was a little surprised.
He was not at home... , did he just leave? Natalie got out of bed, pulled his slippers and ran to the window, only to see the rear of the car at the carved door in the courtyard, and it was gone a second later.
That's why Fourteen was looking around, because he knew Luke was gone. 
Natalie sighed and didn't realize that. She complained that he agreed to go to the supermarket to buy food together and now broke the appointment. OK, in other words,that avoided embarrassment of seeing each other.
The villa was really empty. He wasn't here, and it seemed even more empty. Natalie sat alone in the living room, deserted, but fortunately sit was with Fourteen .
However,  when people delivered her meals as Luke told them, they also brought flowers, chamomile, bellflower, roses, margaritas... full in a cart.
They blossomed beautifully, and the color is very gentle.
Maybe because Luke remembered that yesterday she said she want to put some flowers at home,Natalie was in a good mood. She placed some vases of flowers everywhere, and moved the rest to the balcony, and the house suddenly became alive, "I don't know if he like or not."
Putting flowers, reading books, and strolling in the garden with Fourteen , it was not boring today. But Luke didn't come back until ten o'clock in the evening. Natalie was still too shy to call him, sat for a while in the living room, and finally returned to the room hesitantly. Natalie had no idea when Luke returned and even didn't know if he had returned home.
After three days, she became acquainted with the man who delivered meals for her every day. On the first day, the man said, "Mr. Bennington had instructed that you could tell me any needs, and I must take care of you meticulously.
But when Natalie asked him what Luke was busy with recently, he only said that it was inconvenient for him to ask about the whereabouts of that person.
Four days later...
Natalie unexpectedly saw the news of Luke from a trending topic on Twitter.
That was an industry news: Luke Bennington, the heir of Bennington Group , was strongly involved in the medical field；the first of the three giants Bretton Pharmaceutical,stocks fell by the limit for a week due to financial fraud, and the medical industry may face a reshuffle.
The IP address of the video was in Athana . Luke was in a suit and stood in the spotlight, accompanied with Baildie Selby, the current ruler of the Selby Group. It was a press conference announcing the establishment of a joint medical company with the highest standard in Estain.
Natalie has ever heard about the the Selbys. It is said that the family background is basically the same as the Benningtons. They are both the distinguished family during the Ming and Qing dynasty. Because of different political opinions, they are in a stalemate. Later, the the Selbys migrated to Hong Kong and abroad, while the Benningtons is firmly rooted in the capital city.
Over the past several hundred years, the two families had accumulated millions of fortunes at home and abroad. But because of the ancestors' origins, the two families seem to comply with an unwritten rule--no business dealings with each other, and the descendants will always be like this.
So,obviously it was the first time that the Benningtons and the the Selbys attend the conference together on that day and this cross-era picture caused a sensation.
"Witness the history, everyone! ! !"
"I'm screaming all the time! ! I see the two handsome guys in the same picture in my lifetime!
"So handsome, so eye-catching! The bad and the arrogant! This is such a peerless beauty CP! I started shipping! ! !"
"I couldn't tell who is the Top and the Bottom. "
"The last poster? ? ? ? [are you all right?]"
"Hahaha, a great imagination indeed. "
"I think Luke is so sweet! Behave less badly, or I'll ship. Woo Woo Woo!"
...
After reading the news, Natalie lost her cool. He went back to Beijing without telling her, and there wasn't a phone call for so many days!  What the hell is this?！Does she live here by herself? Does she keep the house for him?
Being unable to tell whether it was dissatisfaction or anger, Natalie disobediently decided to go out for the first time that afternoon.
She left the villa angrily, and was shocked as soon as she walked out of the carved door.
If she hadn't left that day, Natalie wouldn't have known that three or four strong men had been guarding the door these days. The black suits and black sunglasses hinted that they must be bodyguards.
They stopped Natalie and said that she couldn't go out without Luke's permission.
"..." Natalie returned to the villa.
Luke didn't call her, and Natalie didn't call him in a good temper. Sit was not very calm, unwilling to eat, and she had no energy to do things. When she sees the quiet phone, she is a little annoyed.
What does he think of her?
A captive pet? Coco?
Thinking of this, Natalie felt annoyed. Natalie spent a night in an unhappy mood, and the next day, sit was woken up by the buzzing vibration of the cellphone.
The phone on the bedside table was connected.
"Hello?" As soon as she woke up from sleep, her voice was hollow and hoarse, which made Luke' heart couldn't help beating.
Luke didn't speak, maybe it was savoring her soft voice, quiet for a moment, and then chuckled.
This voice... Natalie opened her eyes suddenly, and the sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
"You haven't woken up yet?" Luke asked softly, as if not want to disturb her sleep. Natalie was still startled and was speechless.
He smiled and said, "Go down stairs if you don't continue sleeping."
After a long while, her tumultuous heart slowly calmed down. Natalie began to think about his words. At this time, she noticed Fourteen was wagging his tail to the window, and then she ran out of the room.
Next to the fountain in the garden, a shiny heavy modified motorcycle was parked. Luke leaned,looking down, and played with a black helmet in his hand.
As if he feels Natalie, he raised his eyes and looked to the second floor. Natalie hurriedly hid behind the curtain, and her heartbeat quickened. He came back too soon, and sit was still out of reation. 
Natalie didn't know how long it took her to wash up, but it seemed a long time.She lingered deliberately, not wanting to be too quick, and seemed not eager to see him.
When she finally went out, she walked slowly to him.
"Hello?" Natalie put his hand in her coat pocket, admiring the fountain without looking at him. Her unhappiness was on her face. Luke looked at the girl who had not seen in the past few days quietly. She wore shorts and boots, incarnadine stockings, and her black hair was loose.
He smiled,"Are you still mad at me?"
"Why am I angry?" Natalie wanted to show she didn't care and said casually. Luke leaned on the motorcycle lazily, and said in a low voice, "I accidentally saw your little bunny-shaped thing..." 
Natalie hurriedly said, " Luke !"
He stopped talking obediently and smiled with his lips pursed.
Just teasing her as soon as he came back, "You'd better not come back later! "Natalie blushed.
 And she didn't know why she became brave suddenly and said confidently,"What's wrong with the little thing?Everyone has the sexual needs, isn't it normal?"
"Well, Dr. Moore is right, I'll take it." He said obediently.
"..."Luke didn't bother with her about this issue, picked up a pink women's helmet hanging on the front of the car, and handed it to her,"Let's go, I'll take you for a ride."
"Why do you want to go for a ride?" Natalie looked at him vigilantly, feeling that this person had no good intentions.
But he smiled and said, "Apologize to you."
Apologize for what? For the bunny thing, or leaving without telling her? 
Natalie turned her face away and muttered, "...only apologize after you go back to Athana ."
"It's rare to be so busy and I have no time to eat. Don't you find that I am thin now?"
He was sad and seemed miserable, and Natalie glanced at him seriously. He continued with a smile, "You are so cruel, you didn't even call me and talk to me."
The ordinary conversation became pornographic because of  his words. That "me" made Natalie 's heartbeat almost stopped.
But his tone was so casual, no one would take it seriously.
It seemed to be flirtatious suddenly,everything seemed pink, the little bunny thing was pink, her fingers were pink, and now even the helmet was pink...
"I don't like pink." Natalie didn't answer what he said, just raised her hand awkwardly and pushed the helmet back into his arms.
After two seconds of silence, she added in a low voice, "Except for the money."
She blushed slightly, but quite arrogant. Luke looked at her and smiled,"little miser."
This word is not a compliment, but Natalie 's heart beat after he saying it casually and naturally.
With no emotion, Natalie froze. 
Luke gently touched her earlobe with his fingertips, "What's wrong?Are you not happy living with me?"
Her ears were sensitive, and Natalie trembled slightly.
She whispered with her long eyelashes fluttered, "Why am I happy as you're not here?"
These words made Luke speechless and froze,"Huh?"
During this time, Natalie imperceptibly practiced the ability to pretend to be calm. When their future began to be unpredictable, she could pretend to be calm. 
Natalie looked directly at his beautiful amorous eyes and said, "Who doesn't like to look at handsome guys? Although I don't want to admit, you do look quite handsome."
Her excuse was really naive and clumsy, Luke laughed out loudly, without poking the truth, he picked up her helmet and put it on  her head,"Get on the motor, my greedy baby."
Natalie suddenly saw nothing, her entire head was pressed into the helmet, she protested with a whimper and struggled to straighten the helmet.
Her face finally exposed. Luke sat onto the handsome motorcycle, put on the black helmet, and tilted his head to signal her to sit.
The seat of the motor is quite high, Natalie observed for a moment, climbed the motor and sat behind him.
It was quite scary now, Natalie scratched the clothes on both sides of his waist, only a little bit.
Just as sit was about to say OK, her two wrists were suddenly caught by the man in front of her. The hot body temperature of a man penetrated into her cold skin in her palm in an instant. 
Natalie couldn't help trembling.
He dragged her two arms forward again, and put her hands in front of his belly to make Natalie's entire body against his back, with her arms around his waist.
"Be more serious about cheating money and  sex."
His low and deep voice entered into her ears through the thick helmet,not quite clear .
