Clearly, this escape had worn down his patience and driven him a little more insane.

Meeting his increasingly dark eyes, Xu Wuning's heart suddenly raced.

She gritted her teeth. "I'm on my period, what can you do to me?"

Lu Jingci's fingers slowly and deliberately landed on the buttons on the back of her clothes. "Other places, guess."

Xu Wuning shrank back, her previously assertive voice now trembling slightly: "You're crazy, you really are crazy!"

Lu Jingci looked down at her, his smile strangely gentle. "Is this the first day you've met me?"

"I've reminded you so many times, but you just can't realize there's something wrong with me."

Xu Wuning turned her head to try to dodge, but his hand followed closely, gripping the back of her neck, his thumb gently rubbing the skin behind her ear.

"It's because you keep trying to get close to me, time and time again."

His eyes swirled with a twisted, obsessive light. "Xu Wuning, it's all your own fault."

He tightened his grip, pulling her closer, and enunciated each word heavily as he read out her charges:

"You were the one who said you liked me, and now you're the one who's abandoning me. You've been deceiving other people's feelings all along, being fickle and capricious, trampling other people's sincerity on the ground, and that's why you've ended up like this today."

Xu Wuning gave him a sudden push, but he didn't budge her. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and they intertwined their fingers.

"Lu Jingci, let me go!"

"But none of that matters anymore," Lu Jingci said to himself as if he hadn't heard her. "The wicked will be punished by the wicked. Falling into my hands is your good karma."

"Xu Wuning, I just don't want to be your dog again, like I was five years ago, humbly begging for even the smallest bit of your sincerity. In the end, I got nothing and was ruthlessly trampled and humiliated by you. Do you understand?"

"I saw it coming a long time ago. With your bad temper, no amount of pleading or kindness will work. You're arrogant by nature; you only want to bully and manipulate others, but you won't allow anyone to bully you in return."

"But this time, I want to stand on high ground, and I want you to stay on low ground. I want you to beg me."

He was clearly smiling, but that smile was full of darkness and madness.

Xu Wuning stared at him blankly, as if she was seeing him for the first time in her life. She subconsciously shook her head and inexplicably wanted to back away.

Lu Jingci pulled her back again. He slowly leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers. "So, I'm going to keep you by my side. I won't allow you to leave me for even a moment in this lifetime."

Half of his face, where light and shadow met, revealed a morbid pleasure.

"It's okay if you don't like me, Xu Wuning. You have a lifetime to live, and I'll let you learn slowly."

After saying her last words, Xu Wuning was immediately picked up and carried around the waist.

……

Ten minutes later.

On the sofa, Xu Wuning's reddened eyes were filled with tears. "I was wrong, I was wrong, let go of me..."

Lu Jingci not only didn't let go, but buried his face in her neck and kissed her again.

Xu Wuning's fingers trembled. "No... I said I like you, I said it, okay? Let me go."

Lu Jingci pinched her cheek. "Are you convinced now?"

Xu Wuning nodded with tears in her eyes, "I'm convinced, I'm really convinced. I'll never dare to do it again. I promise I'll listen to you for the rest of my life. I won't run away anymore. Whatever you say, I'll do, okay?"

She looked pitiful and frail, terrified, like a helpless little white flower trembling in fear.

That damned Lu Jingci! If he ever falls into her hands, she'll hang him up, beat him mercilessly, and force him to say some shameless things.

Finally, stomp on his face hard, giving him a lesson he'll never forget.

She couldn't possibly accept it; on the contrary, she held a grudge, an unforgiving grudge.

For the first time in her life, she had been bullied like this. This grudge was now firmly established, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Just wait, Lu Jingci. Once the system arrives and she turns the tables, she'll definitely take over the Lu family business, then watch him go bankrupt, keep him as her kept woman, and then kidnap him to a hotel to humiliate him severely.

Then, she would make his handsome, aloof face stained with tears, make him kneel before her, begging and pleading, "Daddy, please, have mercy on me."

A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.

Temporary setbacks are inevitable. Xu Wuning has always been able to bend and stretch. Lu Jingci, you just wait.

Xu Wuning clenched her fists, her voice broken and fragmented, "Please spare me, please..."

But Lu Jingci still didn't let her go.

Just then.

On the table not far away, her phone rang; it was a video call from Su Wanyue.

Xu Wuning's eyes lit up immediately.

Su Wanyue has always been full of clever ideas, and besides the system, she is the most likely person to come up with a way to get her out of trouble.

Lu Jingci noticed the hopeful look in her eyes and kindly smiled, "Want to answer?"

Xu Wuning bit her lower lip and nodded, but then, thinking that Lu Jingci's hands might do something reckless, she shook her head again.

Lu Jingci chuckled considerately, "Then answer the call."

next second.

His long, slender fingers pressed the answer button, and "kindly" placed the phone on the table next to him.

Then he covered Xu Wuning's lips with his hand and kissed her more forcefully and deeply.

Xu Wuning's eyes widened instantly. She hadn't expected him to be so shameless, and she trembled all over.

Su Wanyue's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ningning, what are you doing? Why haven't you called me lately?"

Xu Wuning kept shaking her head, trying to make him stop, and mouthed, "Don't kiss there, don't speak, please..."

But Lu Jingci wouldn't listen. He replied to Su Wanyue in a deep, magnetic voice:

"It's so late at night, we're all in bed sleeping. Su Wanyue, as an old classmate, is it really okay for you to interrupt our good time like this?"

On the other end, Su Wanyue heard Lu Jingci's voice and jumped up from her chair in surprise.

"Holy crap, it's Lu Jingci!"

"Xie Yu, come here! After two years of relentless pursuit, Ningning has finally seduced Lu Jingci into bed! Come over and hear the gossip!"

"This is shocking news..."

Su Wanyue shouted for a while before realizing that Xu Wuning hadn't spoken. She asked, "Where's Ningning?"

Xu Wuning's hair was disheveled, and she bit her lip tightly, not wanting to make a sound.

Lu Jingci continued his actions, lowering his head even more maliciously to Xu Wuning's ear, and slowly spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"What are you afraid of? Haven't you always wanted to call her?"

"Just call out to her, let her hear it..."
