Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

The next morning.

Liu Yunshu wore a smoky purple silk shirt paired with off-white high-waisted suit pants, which accentuated her slender yet powerful waistline.

She had just finished washing up and was holding a document, looking down at it with her usual cool and capable demeanor.

The blackout curtains in the bedroom were pulled open a little, letting in the warm golden morning light, which fell on Lu Xingchen's profile.

At this moment, he was like a sleeping little beast, unusually docile.

The consecutive tours, coupled with a night of indulgence, had clearly left him exhausted, even his breathing carried a slight languor.

A faint smile lingered at the corner of her mouth, as if she were dreaming of something sweet.

She tiptoed to the bedside, and just as she was about to reach out to tuck the thin blanket that had slipped off, her wrist was suddenly gripped by a warm force.

Lu Xingchen opened his eyes, still drowsy, and pulled her closer to the bed.

"Sister Yunshu..." His voice was hoarse from just waking up, sounding like he was pleading, "Stay with me a little longer."

Liu Yunshu was pulled down by him, her hair falling down and brushing against his cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.

Looking at the undisguised dependence in the boy's eyes, a wave of tenderness washed over her once more. "If he doesn't wake up soon, we'll miss our schedule."

"No." Lu Xingchen playfully pressed her hand against his cheek, the warm touch spreading through his palm. "Just five minutes, okay?"

He looked up at her, his eyelashes fluttering, his eyes glistening with tears.

She looked exactly like she did last night when she was teased to the extreme, with an unconscious allure.

Liu Yunshu's fingertips felt slightly hot. Just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly vibrated on the bedside table.

The screen lit up, displaying the three characters "Shen Hanzhou".

She raised an eyebrow, withdrew her hand, picked up her phone, and pressed the answer button.

"Feed".

"Liu Yunshu!"

Shen Hanzhou's voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying his unique arrogance.

"The competition starts this afternoon, so you just wait patiently for my triumphant return, and don't forget to keep your promise!"

Liu Yunshu leaned against the edge of the bed, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Understood. You only have the right to make demands if you win."

"Tch, when have I ever lost?"

Shen Hanzhou's voice rose a few decibels, carrying an undeniable arrogance.

"Just stay in the hotel and don't wander off. I'll come find you after my competition."

A soft cough came from the other end of the phone, "You're not allowed to hang out with that pretty boy."

Before Liu Yunshu could respond, he slammed down the phone.

Liu Yunshu put down her phone and turned to meet Lu Xingchen's aggrieved gaze.

The boy sat up, the blanket slipped down to his waist, revealing faint red marks from last night on his exposed shoulder.

He pursed his lips, his fingertips unconsciously gripping the blanket. The dependence in his eyes was replaced by deep disappointment, but he still forced a docile tone and asked, "Does he... get a reward too?"

Liu Yunshu put away her phone, walked to the bedside, reached out and ruffled his soft hair, her tone coaxing, "What's wrong, are you jealous?"

Lu Xingchen's cheeks flushed instantly, his eyes darted away, but he still admitted softly, "Mmm..."

Liu Yunshu chuckled as she looked at him and leaned closer.

A warm breath brushed against his ear, and her voice was lowered, carrying a strong sense of possessiveness.

No matter what, you're mine.

Lu Xingchen's body stiffened abruptly, then he raised his head, the disappointment in his eyes replaced by a sudden surge of passion.

He looked into Liu Yunshu's deep eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice trembling yet incredibly firm: "Yes! I belong to Sister Yunshu!"

He then reached out and gently wrapped his arm around Liu Yunshu's waist, rubbing his cheek against her loose hair.

"Sister Yunshu, will you... will you stay with me this morning?"

Liu Yunshu felt the warm pressure of the young man around her waist, her fingertips tracing the soft hair at the back of his neck, her tone laced with a hint of languid indulgence:

"Okay, I'll stay with you until you set off."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the light in Lu Xingchen's eyes instantly became astonishingly bright, as if it contained the entire starry sky.

He tightened his arms around her, buried his head in her neck, and said in a satisfied voice, "That's wonderful..."

The boy's body temperature emanated through the thin silk shirt, carrying a burning sense of dependence.

Liu Yunshu looked down at the whorl on the top of his head, gently stroking it with her fingertips, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.

"Silly girl, so easily satisfied?"

Lu Xingchen buried his face in her neck, shook his head sullenly, a hint of barely perceptible grievance in his voice.

"It's not that I'm easily satisfied, it's that I'm happy just to be by Yunshu's side."

Liu Yunshu chuckled softly, gently pinching the back of his neck with her fingertips, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing:

"What if I don't have time to spend with you in the future?"

Lu Xingchen raised his head, the starlight in his eyes dimming slightly, but he still bit his lip, pretending to be sensible.

"I can wait, until Sister Yunshu is finished with her work, no matter how long it takes."

Looking at his appearance, clearly aggrieved but pretending to be strong.

Liu Yunshu's heart felt a soft spot, as if something had gently bumped into it, causing ripples to spread.

She leaned down and gently placed a light kiss on the corner of his reddened eyes. "I won't keep you waiting too long."

He stared blankly at Liu Yunshu, his eyes welling up with tears again.

This time, however, I was filled with elation and joy, as if I had received the most precious promise in the world.

"Sister Yunshu..."

His voice trembled, as if he were choking up, "I believe you."

"It's almost time." Liu Yunshu raised her wrist and glanced at it.

"Just one more minute," he said in a muffled voice, his tone full of pleading.

Liu Yunshu did not refuse, but gently stroked his hair, her tone filled with indulgent tenderness: "Okay."

A minute passed in the blink of an eye, but for Lu Xingchen it felt like an eternity.

He slowly released his grip, stood up, and the blanket slipped off, revealing scattered red marks on his body, which were particularly noticeable in the morning light.

His cheeks were still flushed, and he obediently began to get dressed.

Liu Yunshu leaned against the bedside, looking at his shy yet earnest appearance, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.

"I'll help you."

Liu Yunshu stepped forward, naturally took the shirt from his hand, and ran her fingertips across his slightly cool skin with a gentle touch.

Lu Xingchen lowered his head, looking intently at her, standing obediently as she straightened his collar.

"Alright." Liu Yunshu straightened up, looking at the neatly dressed young man in front of her with satisfaction.

Lu Xingchen raised his head, his eyes filled with such intense love that they were almost overflowing.

He gently took Liu Yunshu's hand and said, "Sister Yunshu, I'm leaving."

"Okay, be careful and don't overexert yourself."

Liu Yunshu grasped his hand in return, gently squeezing his palm with her fingertips.

"I'll pick you up when the tour ends."

Lu Xingchen nodded vigorously, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "Okay! I'll wait for you!"

After Lu Xingchen left, Liu Yunshu straightened her clothes, picked up the documents, and hurried to Jinmingyuan.

Jinmingyuan is a top-tier private club in Hangzhou, hidden deep in the greenery.

The white walls and gray tiles exude understated luxury, and this is where she discusses projects with her partners.

It was nearly noon when she finished her business. Sunlight streamed through the carved windows and onto the marble floor of the corridor, casting her tall and neat figure in the sunlight.

As I passed a secluded corner, I overheard two people whispering to each other:

"Here, if he doesn't cooperate later, put this drug in his drink."

"This...this isn't quite right..."

"Dingsheng is already on the decline. The boss's background is much stronger than Dingsheng's. Gu Yanqing is your stepping stone."

Liu Yunshu stopped abruptly, the tenderness in her eyes vanished, replaced by a cold, sharp gaze.

She keenly noticed "Ding Sheng" and "Gu Yanqing," and Gu Yanqing became her third mission target.

"A springboard? Do you think Gu Yanqing is so easy to manipulate? Even if Dingsheng is not as powerful as before, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. If things really get out of hand, your boss may not be able to escape unscathed."

Another voice hesitated, clearly wary of this underhanded tactic.

"What are you afraid of?" The previously sinister voice lowered its tone.

"This is the latest spring medicine. Once he drinks it, we'll have a sure thing, and he'll be obedient."

"But he is, after all, a movie star I personally mentored. If I really did that, I..."

The following words, tinged with a struggle and hesitation, were ruthlessly interrupted by another voice:

"If you go back on your word, not only will the boss not let you off the hook, but if Gu Yanqing finds out, do you think he'll let you get away with it?"

The sinister voice carried a chilling threat, each word striking at the other's weak spot.

"Don't be silly. A wise person knows when to yield. Following the boss is much more promising than sticking with a failing company like Dingsheng."

Hiding behind the pillar, Liu Yunshu slowly clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white, and the icy coldness in her eyes almost solidified.

She looked down at her own shadow on the ground, a cold smile curving her lips. Anyone who dared to touch her had quite the nerve.

The struggling voice fell silent for a moment, then finally let out a sigh of resignation: "...Understood, I will take care of it."

"That's more like it." The sinister voice carried a hint of smugness. "I've already prepared the medicine for you. Remember, don't make any mistakes."

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Liu Yunshu slowly emerged from behind the pillar.

"Little Ba, it's like a pillow delivered just when I was dozing off." A playful smile appeared on her lips.

"It would be a disservice to this delicious food if I didn't eat it."

Xiao Ba perched on her shoulder, secretly marveling at her incredible luck.
