The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 181 Threat
Lu Siqi didn't know how she could ask such a childish question. Maybe she was still half asleep, or maybe... she was so touched that she didn't know what to say.

She wanted to summarize her thoughts, to say something that would warm Lin Chen's heart, and to tell this man how much she appreciated his thoughtfulness.

But every word that reached her lips was replaced by insincere words. Of course, she knew deep down that she had fallen into Lin Chen's warmth and could never escape it; even knowing the future was uncertain, she still wanted to dream of a beautiful future, to walk sweetly with this man forever...

But when I think of my unfinished mission and the grudge I haven't yet settled...

Compared to this, love seems incomparable.

Because all of this stems from her past as a police officer; she has a mission and her own beliefs.

Lu Siqi withdrew her hand and tried to get up to find clothes to help Lin Chen put on: "It's too cold, you should put on some clothes and go to sleep."

Lin Chen put his arm around her waist and pulled her back into his arms, saying, "If you know you're cold, don't move around."

Lu Siqi's face was pressed against his chest, slightly burning from his body temperature. Perhaps it was because her own body was too cold; compared to him, his body really felt like a burning furnace...

Not daring to move again, Lu Siqi adjusted her sleeping position and lay on his chest, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat.

After listening for a few minutes, Lu Siqi realized that Lin Chen's heartbeat was like a "sedative," instantly calming her panicked heart.

If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "sense of security".

"Lin Chen," Lu Siqi whispered his name, her fingers involuntarily tracing gentle circles on his muscular shoulder. "Are you asleep?"

"I'd like to sleep." Lin Chen couldn't resist the urge as she traced circles on his shoulder with her fingers. "Don't tease my darling. I've been up all night too, and I'm really sleepy."

For some reason, upon hearing him say he was sleepy, Lu Siqi suddenly felt like "rebelling"; she opened her eyes, her fingers tracing down his shoulder to his V-line, touching his strong, firm muscles, and imagining the image of his V-line always bulging whenever he exerted himself...

The word "sexy" suddenly popped into her head.

"Lin Chen." Lu Siqi's throat tightened as she moved her hand down again. "Are you thinking about it?"

"Nonsense." Lin Chen gritted his teeth, forcefully pressed her down, and flipped her over, pinning her beneath him. "Did you do this on purpose? You wanted to tease me after you finished?"

"No." Lying beneath him, Lu Siqi chose to go along with her heart. "Are you really sleepy?"

Are you questioning my physical abilities?

"You're the one who said you were sleepy."

Lin Chen snorted: "Since you always mock me for being a teddy bear, I have to tone it down a bit."

Lu Siqi asked him, "So, do you want to now?"

"What do you think?" His Adam's apple began to bob, and Lin Chen no longer concealed his desire, turning over and pinning her down.

……

It was snowing outside the window, with snowflakes falling like goose feathers.

The old house had drafty windows, and the curtains fluttered in the cold wind, making the room alternately bright and dark.

The wooden bed kept creaking and shaking.

Lu Siqi suppressed her sobs, feeling the bed shaking violently. She could only reach out and grab the wall, using her body for support to prevent the wooden bed from hitting the wall again. This trick worked; no matter how hard Lin Chen tried, the bed only shook and didn't hit the wall again.

After a while, Lin Chen cupped her face in his hands, feeling the warmth of her body, and kissed her sweaty neck with satisfaction. "Are you still cold?"

"It's so hot." She'd been huddled under the covers, and the suffocating pleasure had made it hard for Lu Siqi not to sweat. Her toes curled and then relaxed. "Give it to me quickly..."

"No way." Lin Chen's eyes were full of indignation. "It's so comfortable every time, why do you start complaining after it's over? You stubborn mule who says one thing but means another. I really wish I could just focus on my own pleasure and ignore you! I'll see if you dare to complain again after a few times."

“I don’t mind.” Lu Siqi shook her head and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Once Lin Chen maintains his rationality, he can restrain himself no matter how much he wants to think about it.

A large, broad hand gripped Lu Siqi's chin, admiring her expression of both pain and pleasure. He gently rubbed her delicate lips with his thumb a few times, and calmly said in a hoarse voice, "Move it yourself."

While Lu Siqi was making a move, Lin Chen took out his phone and filmed her taking the initiative.

After saving the video, Lin Chen tossed his phone aside, grabbed Lu Siqi's hands, and said to her with a smug yet despicable tone, "If you ever dare to complain about me again, I'll send you the video."

"You bastard!" Lu Siqi glared at him angrily, her previous submissiveness completely gone.

"Didn't you know I was a bastard all along?" Lin Chen didn't mind showing his dark side in front of her at all. He opened his mouth and bit her chin, giving her a final warning: "I've done this more than once. I've done it many times in the past. Lu Siqi, listen to me carefully now. If you dare to marry Sheng Huai'an, I will make you hate me, Lin Chen, to death."

These words are tantamount to a blatant threat.

But Lu Siqi couldn't do anything about him.

He has the video; what can I do?
She said frankly, "I will tell Sheng Huai'an about the video before we get married. Don't even think about threatening me with the video. I'm not easily intimidated."

"I'm not one to be trifled with either!" Lin Chen had long been fed up with compromise. "You just wait until the matter of the joke is resolved. Since you won't listen to advice and insist on marrying Sheng Huai'an, then I'll teach you a lesson first, so you'll know just how despicable and shameless I, Lin Chen, really am."

After saying that, he got out of bed, picked up his pants, and put them on.

Lu Siqi lay on the bed, watching him get dressed and leave. Then, she angrily crumpled the sheets beneath her, gritted her teeth, and shouted, "Lin Chen, you're a fucking piece of trash!"

Lin Chen, who had already walked down the stairs, heard her curse. He buttoned up his collar and gave a cold laugh: "You're right. I really am a piece of trash."

……

With the video incident, when Tang Yuan came to deliver dinner that evening, he only saw Lin Chen sitting in the living room smoking, and Lu Siqi was nowhere to be seen. "Young Master Lin? Where is Miss Lu?"

"She's still resting." Having not slept for almost a day and a night, Lin Chen looked slightly tired. "I don't have much time to stay in Xishan. Send me all the information about Xishan Bank tomorrow. This matter with Xishan Bank must be resolved quickly."

“Xishan Bank isn’t as simple as you think, Young Master Lin.” Tang Yuan sighed. “Ever since I retired and came to Xishan, I’ve been disgusted with this place from the bottom of my heart. I’ve never seen anything so rotten! I talked to Brother Gu about the situation here, and he said that the higher-ups would clean it up sooner or later. I’ve been looking forward to that day, but now that you’ve come here, I’ve found that it’s really difficult to actually get things done.”

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it." Lin Chen rubbed his aching temples, his brows furrowing slightly. "No matter who's behind Xishan Bank, we have to uproot them this time."

“Let me tell you, Young Master Lin, it won’t be easy to pull this up.” Tang Yuan took out his phone, searched for the profile of Bangnan Huaxi Group, and handed it to him: “If the information from my previous informant is correct, the real controlling shareholder behind Xishan Bank is probably Hua Dongchen, the chairman of this overseas company.”

Upon hearing Hua Dongchen's name, Lin Chen suddenly smiled.

He never expected that after going around in circles, he would end up back where he started.
