Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

When we arrived in Phuket, it was the hottest time of the afternoon.

The sea breeze, carrying a damp salty scent, blew in from among the palm trees outside the hotel lobby. The entire luxury sea-view hotel is built on a hillside overlooking the sea. The lobby has an extremely high ceiling, and the entire floor-to-ceiling window overlooks the shimmering sea. Sunlight dapples the water, making it sparkle.

Shi Luyu was feeling a bit sleepy from the long flight and was listless when she got off the plane, but she instantly cheered up when she saw the almost unreal blue sea outside the hotel.

Xu Yuanjia stood beside her, holding her small bag, and looked down at her: "You like it?"

Shi Luyu nodded: "So beautiful."

Xu Yuanjia smiled lazily and raised his hand to shield her from the glare, "If you like it, stay longer."

"Does my brother have that much free time?" Shi Luyu muttered softly. "I feel like you're always very busy."

Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow slightly, "This time, I'll play with you to your heart's content."

As he spoke, he took her hand and led her into the lobby.

During check-in, the staff respectfully bowed their heads to verify the information.

"Mr. Xu, you have booked the rooftop ocean view pool suite. The room features a private terrace, a separate ocean view bathtub, a suspended pool, and 24-hour butler service."

Shi Luyu was looking down at the hotel brochure when she heard the words "swimming pool" and "bathtub," and her ears turned red.

Private terrace, ocean-view bathtub, suspended pool.

Something doesn't sound right at all.

Xu Yuanjia clearly noticed the change in her expression, and his thin lips slowly curved into a smile. He lazily moved closer to her, lowered his shoulders, and whispered in her ear.

"What?" he asked in a teasing tone.

Shi Luyu quickly turned her face away: "I didn't."

Xu Yuanjia's smile deepened, his voice lower, carrying a hint of carefree mischief. "Would you like to see the sea first tonight, or play with your brother first?"

Shi Luyu's entire face flushed instantly.

"What are you playing?" She panicked and dodged to the side. "You, you shouldn't talk nonsense."

Just as Xu Yuanjia was about to continue teasing her, the receptionist suddenly looked up, and the young man expressionlessly handed over the room key. "Sir, room key."

The two stopped at the same time.

Xu Yuanjia showed no embarrassment at being overheard in a flirtatious conversation. He simply raised his eyes slowly and looked at the receptionist in front of him.

Shi Luyu also looked over.

The boy looked very young, probably nineteen. He had pale skin, a thin build, neatly cut black hair with wispy bangs pressing down on his eyebrows, and pale eyes, like a glass of cold water.

He was wearing a hotel receptionist uniform, which made his shoulders and neck appear even thinner. He didn't have much of an expression, and his demeanor exuded a youthful, world-weary air.

Xu Yuanjia looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, his expression ambiguous: "You?"

The boy's expression remained unchanged, his tone merely a distant politeness, devoid of any enthusiasm: "Welcome to the hotel."

Xu Yuanjia held the room card between his fingers and glanced down at the nameplate on it.

Dong Wenlin. Upon seeing this name, the man's lips curled into a lazy smile.

Shi Luyu didn't notice anything unusual; she just felt that the young man at the front desk looked too cold, so she couldn't help but take another look.

Dong Wenlin had already lowered his head to continue entering the check-in information. "The elevator to the top-floor suite is at the far left. Have a pleasant stay."

Xu Yuanjia took Shi Luyu's hand and led her toward the elevator.

Shi Luyu couldn't help but turn around. The young man at the front desk was still working with his head down, his shoulders thin and straight, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

She whispered, "That receptionist looks so small."

Xu Yuanjia pressed the elevator button, his tone casual: "Not young anymore."

Shi Luyu looked up: "How did you know?"

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her and smiled lazily: "Observational skills."

Shi Luyu: "..."

Before sunset, the two went to the beach.

The sunset in Phuket is stunningly beautiful. The orange-gold sun slowly sinks into the sea, turning the water a soft, warm gold.

There weren't many people on the beach. In the distance, some people were paddleboarding, while others were sitting on beach chairs watching the sunset.

Shi Luyu changed into a light-colored sundress with a thin sun-protective cardigan draped over it. A sea breeze blew, causing the hem of the dress to gently cling to her calves, and her hair to be slightly ruffled.

Xu Yuanjia held her hand and kept her by his side.

The wind was strong at the beach, so he naturally wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

Shi Luyu struggled for a moment and whispered, "I can walk by myself."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, a lazy smile playing on his lips: "It's windy, brother's cold, be good and hold me tight."

"But this is holding you too tightly."

"Because your brother was afraid you'd get blown away."

Shi Luyu's ears burned: "I'm not a piece of paper."

Xu Yuanjia laughed: "Yeah, little rabbits are more delicate than pieces of paper."

She was so angry that she reached out and pinched his side. Xu Yuanjia let her be, but he didn't loosen his grip; instead, he held her even tighter.

As they walked, Shi Luyu saw a coconut stall by the beach, and her eyes lit up: "Brother, I want to drink coconut water."

Xu Yuanjia, without batting an eye, replied: "Buy it."

Shi Luyu ran over, stood in front of the stall, and said in a soft voice, "Boss, I'd like a coconut."

The stall owner was chopping coconuts with practiced ease, his knife moving swiftly and skillfully. Upon hearing her voice, the person looked up.

A cold, pale face, world-weary eyes.

Shi Luyu was stunned: "Eh, aren't you that receptionist?"

Dong Wenlin glanced at her and nodded: "Part-time."

Xu Yuanjia strolled over slowly, his gaze falling on Dong Wenlin. A smile played on his lips as he spoke in a cool tone, blatantly mocking: "You seem to have quite a wide range of businesses."

Dong Wenlin continued peeling coconuts, head down: "Forced by life's circumstances."

Xu Yuanjia sneered: "Didn't you consider that it might be a problem with your own abilities?"

These words were so blunt that Shi Luyu was stunned.

She never expected Xu Yuanjia to be so sarcastic and hostile towards a stranger who was a young migrant worker.

She quickly and secretly tugged at his sleeve, whispering to stop him, "Brother!"

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, his eyebrows twitching slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips.

Shi Luyu turned her head and looked at Dong Wenlin again.

Strangely, the boy didn't react much to Xu Yuanjia's veiled sarcasm. He simply cut open the coconut, inserted a straw, and handed it to Shi Luyu: "One hundred and twenty baht."

Shi Luyu was about to take out her money when Xu Yuanjia had already pulled out a banknote from his wallet and slapped it on the stall table.

He pressed the banknote down with two fingers, a light touch that carried a strangely sinister warning: "Keep the change."

As he spoke, he looked up at Dong Wenlin, a faint smile playing on his lips: "I hope that next time we meet, it won't be within the scope of your part-time job."

"Who knows?" Dong Wenlin put away the banknote and, as a matter of course, didn't give change.

Shi Luyu stood between the two people, holding a coconut, and felt that the atmosphere was strangely subtle.

She glanced up at Xu Yuanjia furtively. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Xu Yuanjia seemed to dislike the boy.

Does my brother know this person?

However, judging from Dong Wenlin's taciturn demeanor, his attitude towards Xu Yuanjia was not unusual. There was no intimacy, no fear, and no obvious hostility.

She was a little unsure for a moment.

Xu Yuanjia didn't say anything more, took Shi Luyu's hand, and led her away.

Shi Luyu lowered her head and took a sip of coconut water.

The cool, sweet taste spread in her mouth, and she glanced back at the coconut stand.

Dong Wenlin had already bent down again to cut down a coconut, the setting sun falling on his thin shoulders.

"Brother," Shi Luyu couldn't help but ask, "Do you know him?"

Xu Yuanjia glanced at her sideways, his smile languid: "Do I look like I know every part-time worker?"

Shi Luyu thought about it, but the strange feeling in her heart had not completely dissipated.

As dusk slowly descended, tiny lights began to twinkle along the beach.

Shi Luyu held a coconut and stood on the shallow beach watching the sunset. The sea breeze blew through her hair, and her skirt swayed gently in the breeze.

Xu Yuanjia took her camera out of her bag and lazily asked, "Sweetie, want me to take a picture of you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Luyu immediately looked at him warily: "Are you sure you'll take good pictures?"

Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow: "When has my brother ever not filmed properly?"

Shi Luyu whispered, "You made my face turn so red this morning."

Xu Yuanjia laughed frankly: "You're naturally prone to blushing."

"That was just my brother teasing me."

Just as Xu Yuanjia was about to raise his hand to pinch her cheek, someone suddenly walked over from the side.

"Would you two like a couple's travel photography service?"

The voice was calm, indifferent, and devoid of any sales enthusiasm.

I know it so well.

Shi Luyu turned her head.

Dong Wenlin changed into a beach photography outfit, with a camera hanging around his neck and a reflector in his hand.

She was completely stunned: "How many part-time jobs do you have?"

Dong Wenlin looked down and adjusted the camera in his hand: "Not many."

Shi Luyu breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, Dong Wenlin added, "Countless."

Shi Luyu: "..."

Xu Yuanjia stood to the side, his impatience visibly increasing.

Holding a coconut, Shi Luyu asked sincerely, "Aren't you tired?"

Dong Wenlin's tone remained calm: "It's even more tiring when you have no money."

Shi Luyu fell silent.

Seeing the hint of sympathy in Shi Luyu's eyes, Xu Yuanjia finally began to lose his patience.

He reached out and snatched the coconut from Shi Luyu's hand, then put his other arm around her waist, his tone lazy and tinged with a cold displeasure: "Phuket is so big, why did you have to come and take pictures?"

Dong Wenlin remained composed and assertive: "Beach photography is on a first-come, first-served basis."

Xu Yuanjia lowered his gaze, his voice still lazy, but his words carried a hint of coldness: "Your photography skills are the best they can offer for this price."

Dong Wenlin said, "No charge if the photo isn't good."

Shi Luyu quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Then let's take a few pictures."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her: "You want him to take the picture?"

Shi Luyu felt a little guilty under his gaze and whispered, "Since we're already here..."

Xu Yuanjia stared at her intently for a few seconds, and then suddenly smiled.

The smile was thin, hanging at the corner of her lips, beautiful yet dangerous.

"Okay. Take the picture."

Dong Wenlin raised his camera, his tone so professional it was devoid of emotion—

"Please stand a little closer."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanjia immediately pulled Shi Luyu into his arms.

Shi Luyu bumped into his chest unexpectedly, her face flushing red: "Brother, don't hug me so tightly."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her and said slowly, "The photographer wants you to stand closer."

Dong Wenlin looked at the two people through the camera, his expression unchanged: "Closer, but not sticking together."

Shi Luyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Yuanjia looked up at him, his eyes cold and deep.

Dong Wenlin lowered his head to adjust the focus, as if he hadn't seen anything: "Madam, look at the camera."

Shi Luyu quickly stood up straight.

Xu Yuanjia leaned close to her ear and deliberately lowered his voice: "What are you laughing at?"

"No," she denied.

"Do you find him interesting?"

Shi Luyu still said truthfully, "His words are very funny."

Xu Yuanjia gently bit his back teeth, his smile fading further:

"Is that so?"

Dong Wenlin, holding up his camera, coldly reminded, "Men should also look at the camera."

Xu Yuanjia looked up.

In the video, the man has an arrogant look in his eyes and a smile on his lips, his arms tightly encircling the girl in his embrace. The girl's cheeks are flushed, her eyes are bright, half shy and half smiling.

Click.

Dong Wenlin took a picture. He looked down at the finished product and said calmly, "It's okay."

Xu Yuanjia said lazily, "Send it."

Dong Wenlin: "Add more money."

Shi Luyu: "..."

Xu Yuanjia smiled.

This time, I was genuinely amused and exasperated: "They'll make money."

Dong Wenlin: "It's even more tiring when you're broke."

He repeated the sentence again.

Xu Yuanjia looked at him, and the smile in his eyes slowly faded.

For a fleeting moment, Shi Luyu felt that Xu Yuanjia seemed to want to say something.

But soon, he simply pulled out a few more bills from his wallet and handed them over:

"Give me the photos."

Dong Wenlin took the money without hesitation: "The electronic version will be sent to your email in ten minutes."

"Not even a single photographic sheet?" Xu Yuanjia asked impatiently.

"The photographic paper is priced separately," Dong Wenlin said very seriously.

Shi Luyu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xu Yuanjia turned his head to look at her: "Is it funny?"

Shi Luyu immediately pursed her lips, her shoulders shaking as she tried to suppress her laughter.

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her flushed face and gently pinched her waist with his fingertips: "Smile again when we get back tonight."

Shi Luyu's face flushed: "Don't talk nonsense."

Dong Wenlin had already turned and left with his camera on his back.

The sun sank completely into the sea.

Xu Yuanjia stood still, his gaze fixed on Dong Wenlin's thin, silent back, his eyes deep.

Shi Luyu looked up at him. "Brother, do you really not recognize him?"

Xu Yuanjia withdrew his gaze and smiled slowly:

"know."

Shi Luyu was startled: "Huh?"

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, the corners of his lips curving upwards, the complexity in his eyes long since concealed by a nonchalant expression.

"NPCs in Phuket"

Shi Luyu said helplessly, "Why are you talking about people like that?"

Xu Yuanjia put his arm around her and walked back, his voice lazy and deep: "He's everywhere."

As he spoke, he leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"If he comes out again, my brother will really suspect he's here to ruin our date."

Shi Luyu couldn't help but push him, saying, "Brother, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Yuanjia chuckled softly, but his arms tightened around her even more.

In the distance, Dong Wenlin walked to the coconut stall, bent down to take out his camera, and looked at the photo he had just taken.

In the photo, Xu Yuanjia is looking down at Shi Luyu.

Dong Wenlin had never seen that look in the Xu family before.

strangeness.

It's also glaring.

He remarked to himself, "Standing next to this woman, even the bad luck surrounding Xu Yuanjia seems to fade away."
