Think carefully before you answer.

The man stepped back slightly, his hoarse voice carrying an extremely dangerous warning and displeasure.

Jiang Li was breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently.

The moisture in her eyes became even more intense.

Looking at the handsome, cold face in front of her, she responded with a soft voice that was heavily nasal.

"I...I'll explain it to him."

His tone was full of reluctance after compromise and a determined resolve born of hardship.

However, in the unseen sea of ​​consciousness,

She was so happy she was practically jumping for joy, wishing she could just set off a few strings of electronic cigarettes to celebrate.

[System! I can finally dump that scumbag! I'm completely free!]

I'm going to eat at that Michelin three-star restaurant that requires reservations a month in advance!

I want to buy a limited edition bag!

I'm going to buy all those high-end skincare products I liked last night!

The black and white cat lying in the corner leisurely licked its paws, its mechanical voice carrying an undisguised hint of mockery.

Honey, tone down your smile a bit, don't ruin your image.

Look at you now, you look just like a pathetic little thing forced into prostitution.

Hearing her decisive promise,

Shen Yan looked at her reddened eyes and the tears welling up in them.

They assumed she was forced to submit by her own power.

He should be satisfied, after all, he has successfully achieved his goal.

But the nameless anger in his chest did not subside.

Instead, it burned brighter and brighter, making even the exquisite furnishings around it seem like an eyesore.

A hint of irritation crept into the man's usually indifferent expression.

His fingers tapped idly on the edge of the solid wood dining table.

A dull thumping sound echoed in the air.

He has always been accustomed to controlling the overall pace of things.

Whether it was his immense power or the woman he set his sights on.

They all had to stay obediently within the safe territory he had designated, and not even their thoughts could stray off course.

This is simply due to a man's possessiveness.

He could not tolerate the fact that his possessions still held the image of another man in his mind.

But seeing her broken and extremely aggrieved appearance, a strange sense of pity arose in his rock-solid heart.

He was extremely averse to her showing that sad expression because of another man.

He wanted to lock her in the villa so that she would never see Gu Ze again.

She also wanted to shove Gu Ze's face into the mud, so she could see for herself how terrible the things she once liked were.

In the end, he simply picked up the warm water beside him and brought it to her lips.

"Drink water."

Jiang Li paused for a moment, then obediently took a sip.

This person just looked like they were going to eat someone, but now they're feeding them water.

Sometimes she really couldn't figure out Shen Yan's temper.

Shen Yan put down the water glass and pressed his thumb against her lips.

"Don't cry."

Jiang Li really wanted to say that she hadn't cried.

But her current persona needs a touch of vulnerability, so she silently buried her face in his chest.

Shen Yan's body stiffened for a moment.

Then, he placed his hand on the back of her head and rubbed it stiffly.

He had never coaxed anyone, especially not a woman.

In the past, when someone cried, he would only find it noisy.

But ginger and pear are different.

He would find it irritating whenever she made that expression.

It annoyed him, and it also made him less inclined to pressure her further.

Forget it.

Give her some time.

Anyway, that worthless piece of trash could never beat him no matter what.

It would be better to give her more time to adapt gradually.

Anyone with a normal sense knows how to choose.

What can compare to someone like Gu Ze?

In terms of money, power, looks, physique, and the lifestyle I can provide for her...

He has everything that makes her forget that good-for-nothing.

The man's strong, powerful hand gently stroked down her spine, his burning body heat penetrating through the fabric.

Jiang Li nestled obediently in his arms without moving, like a small animal that needed to be stroked and soothed.

"I'll have someone follow you and be responsible for your safety."

Shen Yan's gaze fell on the luxurious crystal chandelier in front of him.

His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an unyielding and autocratic air.

He needed to know what this woman did every day and who she met.

In particular, she must never let that scumbag ex-boyfriend touch even a single hair of hers again.

If any fools dare to get even half a step closer, his men will make them pay the price.

It's nominally for protection, but in reality it's high-intensity surveillance with no blind spots.

But for Jiang Li, who has a strong affinity for salty fish,

It's not an unacceptable or harsh condition at all.

"Did you hear that, Master? He's even going to assign me a private bodyguard!"

This isn't surveillance, this is definitely my destined soulmate!

From now on, someone will carry your bag when you go out, someone will drive you shopping, and someone will even be your human shield if you encounter trouble.

Shen Yan is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye; he's practically a reincarnation of a money-giving genius.

Jiang Li carefully kept the black card, which symbolized financial freedom.

She rubbed her face against that solid chest that exuded the scent of fir trees.

Soft strands of hair brushed against the man's chin, which had hard, cold lines, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.

Feeling the almost ingratiating, affectionate gestures of the person in his arms,

A hint of warmth flickered in the man's eyes, which were usually aloof and unapproachable.

The sharp lines of the eyebrows and eyes gradually softened.

His arm pulled the person closer together.

He enveloped her entirely within his aura.

The spacious villa was quiet on the first floor, with only the rustling of the wind blowing through the plants in the courtyard.

Jiang Li felt that this posture was a bit too intimate.

The man's thighs were strong and powerful.

The muscles encased in those expensive trousers were as hard as rocks.

She tentatively tried to move a little distance away from him.

"I need to change my clothes, or I'll be late for school."

Her soft, sweet voice carried an obvious pleading tone.

She tried to dodge the dangerous hand that lingered around her waist.

Shen Yan had no intention of letting go.

His large, well-defined fingers grasped her slender waist, which seemed fit to be encircled by one hand.

With a hint of punishment, he pressed down hard on himself.

The man's deep voice sounded close to her ear, warm and gentle.

"If you're short on time, I don't mind changing it for you here."

Jiang Li froze in fright, her beautiful peach blossom eyes widening in shock.

She tightly covered the neckline of her already loose beige knit sweater.

Seeing her wary look, the man let out a very low, short laugh, and his chest vibrated slightly.

Footsteps could be heard coming from the hallway outside the door.

The assistant adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and stood respectfully in the shadows outside the restaurant, awaiting instructions.

From last night to this morning, he has learned one thing.

Ms. Jiang did not maintain normal social distancing with Mr. Shen.

Shen Yan did not turn around; her long, shapely legs remained crossed, exuding a cold and oppressive aura.

"Have you chosen the person I asked you to arrange?"

The assistant immediately replied:

"The bodyguards have been chosen; they are all female, so they are fine with driving and close protection."
