The sirens outside the private room sounded several times in succession, each blare louder than the last, causing even the glass on the wall to tremble.

The fat on Boss Jin's face jiggled, and his hand, which had just been supporting himself on the table, slipped down again.

He looked back at the doorway, his legs already too weak to move.

The purple-haired noblewoman panicked even more, grabbing his arm, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

"Old Jin, the police have really arrived."

Her voice trembled, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground.

Shen Luoyan stood by the table, bending down to straighten her disheveled collar.

With her right hand hanging by her side, she pressed the play button on her spare phone with her thumb, and another recording of a police siren came from outside the private room.

Boss Jin finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his knees slammed to the ground.

"Ms. Shen, it was all a misunderstanding. I don't want the money back, please don't call the police."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Shen Luoyan, and sweat soon beaded on his forehead.

The purple-haired noblewoman also squatted down, apologizing repeatedly: "You don't need to pay for the perfume. I accidentally dropped it myself, it has nothing to do with you."

Shen Luoyan looked up at the two of them, her fingers resting on the edge of her phone, and said calmly, "You asked for 50,000 just now, but now you don't want it anymore?"

The two quickly shook their heads.

"No, I really don't want it anymore."

Boss Jin lowered his head even further, his shoulders trembling.

Lu Yunzhou walked to the door and opened the door to the private room.

The manager and two security guards had already hidden at the end of the corridor, and no one dared to approach.

"go out."

Lu Yunzhou's voice wasn't loud, but Boss Jin immediately got up.

He had just taken a step when Lu Yunzhou kicked him in the side.

Boss Jin crashed out of the private room, rolled twice down the corridor, and his floral shirt was covered in dust.

The purple-haired noblewoman was so frightened that she turned and ran, but her heel got stuck on the edge of the carpet, and she nearly fell over.

She didn't even bother to pick up her bag, and chased after him while holding onto the wall.

Lu Yunzhou followed him to the door and added, "If I run into you again, the score won't be so easy to settle."

Mr. Jin clutched his waist and scrambled out of the room.

The purple-haired noblewoman dropped her high heels, lifted her skirt, and followed behind, her hair a mess.

The guests in the corridor all stepped aside, and no one dared to make a sound.

The manager dawdled for a long time before finally carrying the bill into the private room.

He stood at the door, bowing low, a forced smile plastered on his face.

"Gentlemen, this meal tonight is an apology from the restaurant; it's all on the house. We apologize for our poor management earlier and ask that you not pursue the matter further."

The manager handed over the bill with both hands, wiping the sweat from the back of his hands several times.

Lu Yunzhou took the bill, glanced at it, and put it back on the table: "Make a copy of the security camera footage at the entrance and send it to Fengming Group."

The manager's smile froze on his face, and he quickly nodded: "I'll get it done right away."

"go out."

The manager quickly left the private room, closing the door behind him.

Shen Luoyan sat back down in her chair, picked up her chopsticks, and took a piece of fish.

The shoulders that had been pressing down relaxed, and a smile appeared in their eyes.

Lu Yunzhou looked at her: "You were prepared all along?"

Shen Luoyan placed her spare phone on the table; the phone still contained recordings of police sirens.

She raised her chin, a smug look on her face: "Those kinds of people only dare to bully honest people. When they hear the word 'police,' their legs go weak than anyone else's."

Lu Yunzhou picked up his teacup and gave her a thumbs up: "That was a ruthless move; it saved me a lot of effort."

Shen Luoyan paused in her chopsticks, her ears burning: "If you had learned to use your brain earlier, I wouldn't have had to clean up your messes."

"I can use my brain, but you use it faster."

After Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate his food.

Shen Luoyan held back for a few seconds, but still burst out laughing.

The two ate most of the food on the table before leaving the private restaurant.

Back at the riverside apartment, Shen Luoyan took a shower first.

Lu Yunzhou hung his coat in the entryway and stood in the living room waiting for her, his mind still replaying the scene from earlier.

Shen Luoyan was indeed clever. She handled this kind of trouble without using a single punch or kick. A few recordings were enough to make the other party kneel down and admit their mistake.

When the bathroom door was opened, steam rushed out.

Shen Luoyan changed into a loose nightgown, her hair draped over her shoulders, and soft slippers on her feet.

She had only taken two steps when Lu Yunzhou reached out and hugged her, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Shen Luoyan stiffened and raised her hand to press against his chest.

Lu Yunzhou stopped what he was doing and looked down at her: "What's wrong?"

She looked away, her hand still pressed against his chest: "Yunzhou, I got my period, a few days early."

Lu Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately let go.

Shen Luoyan's expression was paler than before, and she pinched the edge of her nightgown with her fingers.

She had planned to spend the night with him, but her health took a turn for the worse.

Lu Yunzhou noticed her apology, turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water, then took out a hot water bottle from the cabinet, plugged it in and handed it to her.

"Why are you apologizing to me? Nobody can control your health."

He spoke bluntly, but Shen Luoyan felt even more embarrassed and sat down on the sofa with a hot water bottle in her arms.

Lu Yunzhou sat down next to her and reached out to rub her lower back.

Shen Luoyan leaned back on the sofa, her tense shoulders relaxing a bit, and the guilt she had felt earlier dissipated.

After a while, she looked up at Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou was still sullen, his hands resting on his knees, sitting upright.

Shen Luoyan looked at him for a few seconds, and her ears slowly began to heat up.

She reached out and tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "If you're really feeling unwell, I have a solution."

Lu Yunzhou immediately turned his head: "What method?"

Shen Luoyan avoided his gaze, her fingers clenching the hem of her clothes: "Sit down first, and listen to me tonight."

Lu Yunzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and he leaned back into the sofa.

Shen Luoyan turned off the TV and dimmed the main light in the living room.

She sat down next to Lu Yunzhou, hooked her arm around his neck, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Lu Yunzhou paused in his breathing and pressed his palm against the edge of the sofa.

Are you sure?

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes darkened.

Shen Luoyan raised her hand to cover his mouth, her ears turning bright red: "If you ask me again, I'll go back on my word."

Lu Yunzhou immediately shut up.

The only sound in the living room was the sound of water coming from outside the window, and the sofa cushions were squeezed out of shape.

Shen Luoyan's movements were clumsy, but she did not back away.

Lu Yunzhou initially tried to control himself, but his breathing became heavier and his arms tightened.

The water glass on the table was bumped and spun halfway around the tabletop.

Shen Luoyan lowered her voice and scolded him, "Don't move around, be good."

Lu Yunzhou gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead, and forced himself to suppress his voice.

After a long while, the living room finally quieted down again.

Shen Luoyan leaned on his shoulder, her hair cascading down her chest, her face still flushed.

Lu Yunzhou leaned back on the sofa, his voice hoarse, his arm still protecting her behind his back.

"Is this the solution you were talking about?"

Shen Luoyan raised her hand and pinched his waist: "Isn't that enough?"

Lu Yunzhou immediately shut his mouth, tightened his arms, and pulled her into his embrace.

Shen Luoyan didn't dodge anymore, and pressed her forehead against his shoulder.

Hearing Lu Yunzhou's still unsteady breathing, the guilt she felt completely melted away, and her arms tightened around him.

Lu Yunzhou lowered his head and touched her hair, his voice very low: "Luo Yan, consider tonight your compensation to me."

Shen Luoyan glared at him, her face turning even redder: "Say one more word and you'll be sleeping on the floor."

Lu Yunzhou immediately hugged her tightly and shut his mouth.

The living room lights did not turn on again, leaving only the sound of intertwined breathing.
