Lu Jingci's soft, gentle voice came from the television, steady and pleasant to the ear.
"All three parties are very sincere about this collaboration..."
Xu Wuning was very familiar with his demeanor. He was always like this in public: gentle and proper, always knowing when to advance and retreat. When people mentioned Lu Jingci, their first reaction was that he was a gentleman.
As a result, yesterday he bullied her badly in the yard, kept kissing her, and even groped her cruelly, watching her sob softly, but he wouldn't let her go.
"Why are you crying, Ningning? It'll be over soon."
"Don't hide, be good."
"You've run away again and again. This time, you'll learn your lesson, or you'll dare to do it again next time."
"If you beg for mercy, call me 'Brother Aci,' and say you like me, then I'll give you another chance, okay?"
"Why is she so stubborn? Isn't she quite soft-hearted elsewhere...?"
Xu Wuning glanced down at the thin chain on her foot. It looked quite pretty under the light, so pretty that it made her want to curse.
The interview has finally come to an end.
Xu Zhenghong's businesslike smile vanished, and he asked casually, "Where's Ningning?"
Lu Jingci smiled kindly, his tone brimming with obvious doting and indulgence: "Ningning said she's going abroad for a few days and asked me to let you know."
"She's throwing a tantrum like a little girl. I called her yesterday, and she said I was annoying."
"She's having a great time and doesn't want us to bother her. Let's contact her again in a few days."
Xu Zhenghong snorted: "Running around again."
This section was not cut out.
The live chat exploded instantly.
"Wow, Mr. Lu really likes Xu Wuning a lot. His eyes are so gentle when he talks about her."
"I can't handle that look in your eyes, who can resist it?"
"Xu Wuning must have saved the galaxy in her past life, how did she end up with such a gentle and refined man?"
Xu Wuning, watching from outside the TV: "..." laughed, really, laughed in exasperation.
On the screen, Jiang Xu'an stood not far behind Lu Jingci, listening to Lu Jingci's complete knowledge of Xu Wuning's whereabouts, and lowered his eyes.
Another comment appeared on the screen:
"Am I the only one who noticed that look in President Jiang's eyes? Could he also have a crush on Xu Wuning?"
I think so too.
This was followed by more and more speculation.
"Do you think the Xu and Lu families will arrange a marriage within a month?"
"I think Xu Wuning is really lucky."
"That's right. Xu Wuning has an outgoing and arrogant personality, and she's bright and unrestrained. She doesn't feel repressed at all, and she's so lucky. She's met someone like President Lu who has a soft personality. She'll definitely bully President Lu every day and make him cry."
"Look at President Lu's slender fingers with distinct knuckles. Based on my deduction, Xu Wuning must have had a very good meal tonight."
"I'll kick that big yellow girl upstairs away."
"I kicked it back."
"I'll kick her away again."
"I am not a football..."
A netizen downstairs commented: "...Young people these days are really witty."
Outside the television.
Xu Wuning, who was "lucky," kicked her thin chain hard, looked up at Lu Jingci on TV who remained expressionless, and gritted her teeth.
A despicable person.
The master of face-changing.
That despicable Lu Jingci, she's determined to be his nemesis.
……
night.
The nanny has already left for the day.
Xu Wuning lay on the sofa bed, covered with a blanket, idly counting her hairs.
The door was suddenly pushed open—
Night fell into the courtyard as Lu Jingci, dressed in a suit, walked in step by step.
Xu Wuning glanced at him, then turned her head away, not wanting to pay him any attention, and closed her eyes.
Gradually.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and wrapped around her waist. Lu Jingci lay down beside her and rested his chin on her shoulder from behind.
His voice was low, husky, and lingering, "Pretending to be asleep?"
Xu Wuning remained silent.
Lu Jingci's eyes darkened. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you in a bad mood?"
Xu Wuning muttered softly, "What's it to you? I don't want to talk to you."
The surroundings were quiet for a while.
Lu Jingci suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, turning her face towards him.
She was forced to confront him.
He bent down to meet her gaze, and his shadow instantly enveloped her.
Why don't you want to talk to me?
Xu Wuning stared at him, her voice crystal clear: "I don't have Stockholm syndrome. You imprison me, and I'm expected to like you? Greet you with a smile? I'd be the one who's truly sick."
Lu Jingci paused for a moment.
Then he laughed.
A sinister smile spread across his eyes. "It's alright."
He moved closer, his voice deep and menacing, dark and dangerous, "I haven't punished you yet today."
Xu Wuning's heart tightened, but she didn't back down at all: "Are you crazy, Lu Jingci? I didn't run away today, why should I be punished?"
She glared at him, her voice rising slightly: "Are you even being reasonable, Lu Jingci?"
Lu Jingci looked into her eyes, a morbid joy lingering in her brows and eyes, a mixture of obsession and malice. "Because you didn't smile."
Xu Wuning raised her hand and slapped him.
With a "smack," Lu Jingci's face turned to one side, and a faint red mark appeared on his fair skin.
This time the slap was a bit too hard; her palm went numb, and her knuckles trembled slightly. "Are you crazy? I don't want to laugh, and I don't want to laugh, but you're forcing me to."
I'll slap you to wake you up.
Although she spoke very confidently, Xu Wuning felt a little uneasy and secretly glanced at Lu Jingci's expression.
In an instant.
Lu Jingci's face was devoid of any gentleness; his dark, cold eyes were fixed on her. "I've been too gentle with you."
He ripped off his suit tie, grabbed her wrist, and wrapped it tightly around hers.
Xu Wuning struggled a few times, but couldn't break free.
Lu Jingci kissed her wrist, then stood up and pulled a new tie from one of his other suits.
With her hands tied, Xu Wuning got up and ran a few steps.
Lu Jingci, who had returned, picked her up by the waist and threw her back onto the sofa bed.
"Let me go..."
Lu Jingci pretended not to hear her words, leaned over, and used another tie to cover her eyes.
Visibility was blocked, and the light turned into complete darkness.
The moment your vision disappears, all other senses become incredibly clear.
Xu Wuning felt the warm breath on her earlobe, getting closer and closer to her inch by inch. Her hair stood on end, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
"What are you doing now? Lu Jingci, let go of me!"
"I don't want to play these tricks with you! You're such a pervert, what on earth are you researching every day?"
Xu Wuning frantically cried out to the system in her mind: "System, log on quickly, come save me!"
"Is this really a proper romance novel? Your male lead has mutated, and our plot has already turned into a 'po/wen' (post/article)."
"System, save me..."
In the system station.
Wearing overalls, the little system sipped its milk tea and lay comfortably on the rocking chair.
It scratched its little head.
"I think I heard someone calling me?"
