Saint Forest Villa.

As the days went by, Xu Wuning intensified her pursuit of Lu Jingci every day, but to no avail.

With only twenty days left, she was already unable to sleep due to anxiety. Alas, the system was about to go online, and mission failure was imminent.

Xu Wuning, who has always been arrogant and domineering, has never encountered such a thorny problem before.

If the task was simply to obtain Lu Jingci's body, she would have just tied him up, stripped him, and forced herself on him. Why go through all this trouble?

If the task was to bully Lu Jingci, she would simply take a small leather whip and lash him out.

If her mission is to redeem Lu Jingci, then she can help him every day.

But the task is to win his heart, and he doesn't like it. You can't force him to like it.

No, she has to think of something tonight, or things will be over.

……

Lu Jingci rarely went to social events in person tonight. The contract was signed smoothly, and he also had a couple of drinks.

Pushing open the door, the living room was brightly lit, but no one was there. The whole villa was quiet. Zhang Ma had already gone home from get off work, and Xu Wuning was nowhere to be seen.

"Xu Wuning?"

No one answered.

He took off his suit jacket, went upstairs, and pushed open Xu Wuning's door, but no one was there.

"Isn't he/she here?"

He frowned, opened his phone, and sent Xu Wuning a message: "Where are you?"

He smelled of alcohol, so he took a shower first.

Half an hour later, he came out of the bathroom, dried his hair, put on a bathrobe, and walked into his room, turning on the light as he went.

She lifted the covers and lay down, glancing at her phone, but Xu Wuning still hadn't replied to his message.

He pressed his temples, his eyes darkening, and he was about to ask Li Chuan to find out where she had gone so late at night.

Before the call could be dialed, a soft hand gently touched his waist from under the covers.

Lu Jingci froze for a moment, then abruptly threw off the covers.

Under the warm light, Xu Wuning curled up on the bed, her hair falling like silk onto the pillow, looking up at him with bright, beautiful eyes, without a trace of panic.

Lu Jingci's pupils contracted sharply, his Adam's apple bobbed violently, and after realizing what was happening, he quickly pulled the blanket back over her, wrapping her up tightly.

His breathing became noticeably heavier: "Where are your clothes?"

Xu Wuning didn't say anything, but shifted under the covers, her knee inadvertently brushing against his leg.

Lu Jingci grabbed the blanket and pressed down on her shoulder through the covers, his voice hoarse: "Don't move."

Xu Wuning ignored him and still gently struggled under the covers.

"Xu Wuning," he called her by her full name, his tone deep and tense, "who gave you permission to get into my bed? I'm asking you a question."

Unlike her usual arrogance, Xu Wuning raised her innocent and pitiful big eyes.

"Don't be so fierce, I'm scared to sleep alone, Brother Aci." Her voice came muffledly from under the covers, deliberately lowered to sound affected.

Lu Jingci closed his eyes briefly, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes had returned to normal. "No tea."

"I'll give you a chance. Don't mess with me. Go back to sleep."

Xu Wuning rolled over in the blanket, turning her back to him, and answered crisply, "I don't want to."

Lu Jingci stared at the quilt for two seconds, then laughed in exasperation.

Darkness surged beneath his eyelashes as he reached for the corner of the blanket. Xu Wuning immediately gripped it tightly, though she was no match for his strength, she held on fiercely. The two of them were locked in a tug-of-war, separated only by the blanket.

"Xu Wuning, I'll count to three."

"You can count to a hundred and I still won't leave."

"one."

She didn't move.

"two."

The person in the blanket suddenly grabbed the sleeve of his bathrobe. The light fell on her eyes, and those watery eyes looked at him, it was hard to tell whether she was genuinely aggrieved or just pretending.

"Do you hate me that much?" she asked.

Lu Jingci stopped moving.

He looked down at her, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke each word slowly and deliberately: "I'm doing this for your own good."

Xu Wuning gritted her teeth: "You're talking nonsense. If you don't like me, you're just trying to kill me."

Lu Jingci lowered his voice, "Don't swear."

He gently pinched her cheek with his fingers, his gaze earnest: "Xu Wuning, let's talk this over properly, how about we go back to sleep?"

"I won't."

"OK."

Lu Jingci suddenly bent down and picked the person up, blanket and all, and strode towards the door.

Xu Wuning panicked immediately and struggled in his arms: "Put me down, Lu Jingci, I don't want to go, put me down!"

This damn blockhead, Xu Wuning, has never met such a difficult man.

She kicked her legs, and the blanket slid down halfway. Lu Jingci's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly looked away, but he didn't stop walking and was about to walk to the door.

Seeing that she was about to fail and be sent away, Xu Wuning's eyes flashed, her eyes reddened, and tears quickly welled up.

Tears streamed down her face, her sobs deep and hoarse: "My dad won't let me go home... He's found someone new and doesn't want me, his daughter, anymore."

"I'm just too sad, I can't sleep tonight, I want to sleep with you."

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears streamed down her face. "Why are you so unwelcoming to me?"

"Nobody likes me, nobody cares about me."

She looked up at him with her eyes red from crying, her voice trembling, "Lu Jingci, I don't want to live anymore..."

After those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

Lu Jingci tightened his grip on her arms.

He stood there, looking down at her. The person in his arms was crying, her shoulders shaking, her face covered in tears.

After a brief exchange of glances...

He turned around, carried her back to bed, gently laid her down, and pulled the covers up for her.

Then he walked towards the door, put his hand on the doorknob, but didn't turn it.

After a few seconds, he sighed, closed the door, turned around, and strode back.

Xu Wuning lay in bed, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, sobbing as she looked at him.

Lu Jingci stood by the bed. "Just for tonight."

Xu Wuning's eyes lit up, she sniffed her red nose, and nodded obediently.

He turned off the light and lay back down, his back to her, with an arm's length between them.

Not long after.

In the pitch-black night, a rustling sound arose, and from under the covers, that hand hooked the hem of his pajamas this time.

Lu Jingci didn't move.

The hand reached forward again.

At the same time, a soft voice, carrying warm breath, brushed against the back of his neck, "Brother..."

He grabbed her hand.

In the flickering light, Lu Jingci stood with his back to her, a sickly darkness churning within his eyes, unfathomable and unfathomable.

But Xu Wuning was completely unaware and reached out with her other hand as well.

In an instant, the world spun around, and Lu Jingci pounced on her, pinning her firmly to the ground.

His tone was somber and heavy: "Xu Wuning, you are really dishonest."
