Lu Jingci almost thought he had misheard.
Let him go? Ningning is going to let him go?
It's like a nightmare coming true.
He felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, leaving him completely chilled and feeling like his blood had stopped circulating.
What's going on? Did Ningning figure out that he was faking amnesia?
That's impossible. Ningning's reaction doesn't seem like she guessed it.
So what exactly happened?
Just a short while ago, Ningning said she was going to do *that* kind of thing tonight, something so amazing. He had been looking forward to it all this time. Why did things suddenly change?
His fingers clenched so tightly they were almost digging into his flesh.
Xu Wuning noticed that his voice was trembling.
She tossed the unfastened gold chain aside, clicked her tongue, and said, "Lu Jingci, your voice is trembling with excitement."
"You must be ecstatic to be letting you go."
She pinched Lu Jingci's face and then observed his expression, which was hidden by his eyelashes.
Eyes facing each other.
Lu Jingci forced a smile, suppressing his surging emotions.
"Yes, I'm really happy, thank you for letting me go."
What's he so happy about? He's going crazy, he's practically insane.
The gold chain on his ankle was just untied. He was used to it, but now that it was gone, he was heartbroken to lose it. It was Ningning who had locked it on herself.
On the surface, he appeared happy to be free, but in reality, he was grinding his teeth to dust.
When Xu Wuning saw him smile, a malicious and wicked smile curled at the corners of her lips.
Hehe, she just wanted to excite Lu Jingci for a while, and then when he was at his happiest, she would drag him back and make his mood fall from heaven to hell in an instant.
When Lu Jingci is caught, he will surely tremble with fear and weep bitterly.
on the sofa.
The golden chain had clearly been opened, but Lu Jingci didn't run away immediately. Instead, he remained sitting there, his buttocks seemingly glued to something and unable to move.
He took a deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice, unwilling to give up, "But why did you suddenly let me go?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to... tonight?"
Xu Wu Ning released his face, glanced at the time lightly, and said, "I just let go when I wanted to. Why ask so many questions? There's no reason."
She pointed to the doorway, "Look, the door's open. You'd better hurry up and leave."
Lu Jingci still didn't move.
His eyes flickered, then tears quickly welled up at the corners, turning them red. He drooped his head pitifully, like a stray cat.
"I really wanted to leave... I didn't have to be a caged bird anymore. I've been let go, and I'm really happy."
"But I have amnesia, I don't remember anything. If I leave here, I don't know where I can go."
"I can't even remember where my own home is, maybe I should..."
Xu Wuning interrupted him, "Don't you know Li Chuan? He's your special assistant. You have his phone number on your phone. Have him drive over and pick you up."
"Then go back to your own villa, you own many properties, or go somewhere else."
Lu Jingci's eyelashes trembled, and he sniffed, "Didn't you say I have many enemies? If I just leave your villa like this, won't I be in serious trouble?"
Xu Wuning coughed; those were all made up.
She cleared her throat and uttered a line from a novel she'd read before, a typical domineering CEO quote: "Don't worry, you've been one of my people. In Beijing, no one dares to lay a finger on you."
"If anyone dares to bully you, I'll tell them that it's getting cold and their family is going to go bankrupt."
Lu Jingci didn't reply. He made another excuse, suddenly clutching his stomach: "My stomach hurts a bit. I need to go to the restroom. Can I stay a little longer?"
Before Xu Wuning could agree, he had already slipped inside and closed the door.
Xu Wuning: ?
Why did she get the feeling that Lu Jingci didn't really want to leave?
It must be my imagination.
After all, when she was imprisoned by Lu Jingci, she thought about escaping every moment and wished she could strangle Lu Jingci to death.
With gold chains locked around their ankles, deprived of dignity and freedom, who would want to stay in such a humiliating situation?
Lu Jingci probably lost his memory and didn't recognize the people outside, so he was just a little unaccustomed to being suddenly asked to leave.
Xu Wuning snapped out of her thoughts and rushed to the other end of the living room to pack up the box Su Wanyue had given her.
One minute.
Ten minutes or so.
As time dragged on, Lu Jingci waited inside for her to change her mind.
But no one paid any attention to him for a long time.
It's unreasonable to spend so much time in the toilet.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out.
Xu Wuning was still pacing back and forth in the living room, tidying up her things and picking up the clothes that were scattered on the floor.
Lu Jingci stood there, and asked timidly, "Why didn't you call the housekeeper to come and clean up?"
Xu Wuning didn't have time to pay attention to him, "It's too late, someone's coming soon."
Instantly, the scene from that nightmare flooded Lu Jingci's mind again. His eyes darkened, his voice tightened, and his fingertips trembled:
"Who's coming? Male or female?"
Xu Wuning replied, "It's definitely a man."
Her father is definitely not a woman.
Lu Jingci clenched his fists even tighter, his jawline tightened, and his expression grew increasingly gloomy and somber.
Could it be Jiang Xu'an? Or some other man?
Ningning asked him to leave because she was tired of him and wanted him to make room so she could get a new canary to keep.
How can this be?
Ningning is his, and no one can take her away from him, not Jiang Xu'an, and certainly not any other man.
His dark, brooding eyes grew increasingly cold, and he clenched his fists with a sickly, obsessive clench as he walked step by step toward Xu Wuning's back.
Xu Wuning was looking down at her phone, sending a message to her father, and didn't notice the commotion behind her.
The tall shadow slowly enveloped her.
At this time.
Xu Wuning's phone rang. "Hello, Aunt Liu, yes, come to my villa to make lunch. My dad will come here to eat in a little while, so we won't go to the old house."
"Okay, come here."
In an instant, Lu Jingci paused, and the darkness in his eyes vanished completely.
Her father? Is Uncle Xu coming over?
After Xu Wuning finished speaking, she hung up the phone and wanted to continue tidying up the living room.
She turned around and was startled to find Lu Jingci standing right behind her.
"Why are you standing so close to me? You've finished using the restroom, why haven't you left yet? What, don't you know the way?"
"Didn't I tell you? Just stand in the yard, call Li Chuan, and he'll come pick you up."
Honestly, if Lu Jingci doesn't leave, how is she supposed to catch him? How is she supposed to play a chase game? How is she supposed to force love on him?
She urged again, "Hurry up and go."
Lu Jingci's lips moved. He really wanted to ask, "Can you not leave?", but given his current amnesiac state, he couldn't say those words.
She really wanted him to leave.
He glanced at her, realizing she had no intention of stopping him, and slowly and laboriously walked towards the door.
"Thank you for letting me go, I'm leaving now..."
He took three steps, then stopped three times, dawdling over time, glancing back every now and then.
But Xu Wuning didn't try to stop him at all. She didn't even look up and was busy packing her things.
He walked to the door and placed his hand on the doorknob.
When he turned it on, he deliberately made a loud noise, a very loud sound that was particularly jarring in the quiet living room, trying to attract Xu Wuning's attention.
Xu Wuning finally looked up.
Lu Jingci's heart skipped a beat, his fingers tightened around the doorknob, and an immense joy welled up inside him.
Great, is Ningning finally going to try and keep him?
The next second, Xu Wuning said unhurriedly, "Oh right, remember to close the door tightly. It's getting late, let's go."
Lu Jingci's shoulders slumped, and the light that had just appeared in his eyes vanished instantly.
He shakily lifted his leg, stepped out, and reluctantly closed the door behind him.
The moment the door was slammed shut, he stood on the stone steps by the door, head bowed, his fingers clenched so tightly they cracked.
He waited a long time.
There was no sound from inside, and Xu Wuning did not chase after them.
He was completely kicked out...
