Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu was in a bad mood that day.

Because of Xu Yuanjia. She actually didn't want to doubt him at all.

Xu Yuanjia was the first boy she truly liked. He was outstanding, dazzling, and always the most eye-catching person in a crowd, as if he was born to be admired.

She knew there was a great distance between them. That's why she worked even harder making films, doing research projects, and learning editing, trying to improve herself and get a little closer to him.

She really liked him. Really, really liked him.

Therefore, she naturally hoped that everything he said was true, that "Brother Jiajia" was him, and that he had never lied to her.

But what's been happening lately is really strange.

Xu Jia approached her several times. He remembered their childhood memories and details, some of which she couldn't explain as "coincidence."

Yu Baoying also hesitated to speak. That day, when she asked Xu Yuanjia about his childhood, Yu Baoying had already opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Cheng Ye.

He only vaguely said, "Some things are better left unsaid by him."

As for Xu Yuanjia... every time she asked about his real childhood, although he never changed the subject and could answer many of his memories fluently, he always... always made her feel that something was not quite right.

The more Shi Luyu thought about it, the more confused she became.

When people are feeling down, they always miss their parents more.

She missed the scent of magnolias on her mother's clothes, and she missed how her father would always complain that she was spoiled, but would always buy her favorite foods in advance. She wanted to go back to her family.

Even if it's just for three days, that would be fine.

So Shi Luyu asked the school for leave and bought a ticket for the next available flight to Myanmar.

She didn't tell Xu Yuanjia. His last message on her phone was from last night.

"Sweetie, are you asleep?"

She did not reply.

The next morning, Shi Luyu went to the airport alone, dragging her suitcase.

The security check line was long. When it was her turn, she handed over her passport and boarding pass, which the staff checked as usual.

Everything was normal at first. But after the staff member scanned the passport, his expression suddenly changed.

He glanced up at Shi Luyu, then looked down at the computer and said, "Please wait a moment."

Shi Luyu felt a slight unease, vaguely sensing something bad was about to happen.

A few minutes later, another customs officer approached and whispered a few words to him. Then, the officer gestured for her to proceed.

"Ms. Shi, please come with us to the inquiry room."

Shi Luyu was stunned: "Why?"

The other party's response was officially worded: "Your exit information is abnormal and requires further verification."

Shi Luyu frowned and retorted, "But my visa and plane ticket are not a problem."

"Please cooperate." The other party's tone was polite, but left no room for negotiation.

Shi Luyu gripped the handle of her suitcase tightly and had no choice but to leave with them.

The corridor grew increasingly secluded. Airport announcements were muffled by the thick walls, and the surrounding silence was unsettling.

She was led to a small room without windows, with only a computer and a white lamp on the table.

The staff asked her to sit down.

Then, they started questioning her inexplicably:

"What is the purpose of your trip to Myanmar?"

"Visiting relatives."

"What are your parents' occupations?"

Shi Luyu answered them one by one.

The other party then asked her for her address, school, and contact person in Taimai.

When asked about her emergency contact, she hesitated for a moment. The first person that came to mind was Xu Yuanjia.

But she didn't say, "My parents." She only answered with her parents' names.

The staff member looked up at her, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer. After a moment, he picked up the phone on the table and spoke a few words in Thai.

Shi Luyu couldn't understand, but she felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more strange.

Then two more people came to the door, one of whom whispered, "You need to be transferred to the detention room."

Shi Luyu's face paled slightly: "Detention room?"

No one answered her.

A strange panic slowly gripped her heart. She instinctively tightened her grip on the suitcase handle, her fingertips turning white from the force, her mind a jumbled mess. She had never experienced anything like this alone before, and she had no idea how long this so-called "detention" would last.

Her phone was still in her bag, and her parents were far away in Myanmar. Xu Yuanjia's name came to her lips several times, but she swallowed it back.

Just as the staff were about to take her away, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from outside the door.

Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a young woman walked in.

She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with extremely fair skin, her black hair loosely tied back, and delicate, gentle features, giving her a distinctly mixed-race appearance. She had a refined nose, pale lips, and wore a light apricot-colored suit, exuding a gentle and intellectual air.

She was followed by two staff members.

"Miss Xu." The people in the room became noticeably more respectful when they saw her.

The woman nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Shi Luyu. "I'll take her away."

The customs officer hesitated: "But her exit information—"

"I'll handle it." The woman said gently, and no one raised any further objections.

She walked up to Shi Luyu, bent down to look at her, and asked, "Little sister, were you frightened?"

Shi Luyu instinctively shrank back a little, watching her warily.

The woman smiled. "Aren't you Ah Jia's childhood sweetheart?"

"Brother A-Jia...?" Shi Luyu was slightly taken aback.

She stared at the woman before her, her heart suddenly pounding, and tentatively asked, "Do you know Xu Yuanjia?"

"Of course," the woman said with a gentle smile, "He's my brother."

Shi Luyu pursed her lips, and that little bit of hesitation in her heart resurfaced.

She didn't believe her immediately, but tentatively asked softly, "Do you know... how we met when we were little?"

The woman looked at her for a moment, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled. "You went to the Thai-Mai border with your parents when you were little, didn't you?"

Shi Luyu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Ah-Jia was much more lively back then than he is now. He was cheerful and loved by everyone wherever he went. He was also very caring, and seeing that you were young, he always liked to play with you."

The woman spoke calmly and naturally, and Shi Luyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These events match the fragments of her memory.

Shi Luyu's previously tense shoulders slowly relaxed. "Then... who are you?"

The woman extended her hand and said gently, "Xu Qingyao."

She smiled nonchalantly and added, "Xu Yuanjia's half-sister."

Shi Luyu hesitated for a moment, but still gently shook hands with her.

Xu Qingyao glanced down at her suitcase. "Should I call A-Jia over?"

Shi Luyu's expression immediately became flustered. "No, no need."

Xu Qingyao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did you two have a fight?"

"No." Her quick reply only made it seem like she was trying to cover something up.

Xu Qingyao didn't press for details, but simply smiled.

Shi Luyu lowered her eyes and whispered, "We don't need to for now."

She hadn't figured out how to face Xu Yuanjia, nor did she know whether she should tell him that she almost left Taimai without saying anything.

Xu Qingyao looked at her, the scrutiny in her eyes well-hidden. "Okay."

She turned to the people behind her and said, "Send Miss Shi's luggage away."

Then, in a gentle tone, he reassured her: "There's a slight problem with your exit documents; your passport will need to be left at customs for verification."

Shi Luyu looked up: "How long?"

"Two or three days," Xu Qingyao said casually.

"I'm in charge of airline and customs affairs within the family group, so this matter was left to me."

She raised her hand and gently patted Shi Luyu's shoulder. "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

Looking at her gentle and composed face, Shi Luyu felt a little uneasy, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Unbeknownst to her, the passport had already been taken away by Xu Qingyao's people.

Little did she know that from this moment on, whether she could leave Taimai was no longer up to her own decision.

/

Xu Qingyao arranged for her to stay at a Chinese-style guesthouse in the suburbs.

Nestled in a bamboo grove halfway up the mountain, this place features white walls and gray tiles, with copper bells hanging from the eaves. The courtyard contains a waterside pavilion, a winding bridge, and a small lotus pond, while in the distance, layered mountain shadows can be seen.

The place was quiet, yet exuded an understated luxury.

The room is furnished with dark wood, and jade and porcelain vases are displayed on the antique shelves. The window faces an artificial lake.

Shi Luyu was assigned to the innermost suite on the second floor.

Xu Qingyao personally escorted her inside. "Stay here for the next few days. Food and supplies will be provided."

"I'll have someone bring it to you after your passport is verified."

Shi Luyu said softly, "Thank you."

Xu Qingyao smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Before leaving, she turned back to look at Shi Luyu one last time, "Are you sure you don't need to inform A-Jia?"

Shi Luyu gently gripped the hem of her clothes. "No need for now, thank you, sister."

Xu Qingyao nodded, "Okay."

The door closed, and Shi Luyu stood alone in the spacious room.

Several days passed in this way. Xu Qingyao did not come back during this time. She was quite comfortable staying here, but at the same time, she also felt that it was very quiet.

It was so quiet.

So quiet... she missed Xu Yuanjia even more.

She took out her phone and opened his chat.

She wanted to send a message, but didn't know what to say. In the end, she simply placed her phone face down on the table, turned, and walked towards the window.

After dinner that day, night had fallen. In the distance, the waterside pavilion was lit with soft lights, bamboo shadows swayed, and a thin mist floated on the lotus pond.

She pushed open the carved wooden window, wanting some fresh air. But she inadvertently discovered that behind the openwork screen next to the window was another narrow, dark window.

The dark window faces the adjacent side room, where the lights are on.

Someone is talking.

Shi Luyu hadn't intended to eavesdrop, until she heard it—

Xu Yuanjia's voice!

"I've met your childhood sweetheart." It was Xu Qingyao.

Shi Luyu stopped moving. She subconsciously slowed her breathing and looked inside through the narrow window.

In the adjacent side hall, Xu Yuanjia sat in the main seat with his back to her.

The man wore a dark suit, his shoulders and back straight, his long legs crossed. His profile was bathed in lamplight, his features cold and handsome, his fingers resting lazily on the armrest.

Xu Qingyao stood in front of him, her tone gentle, "What Dad means is that there's no need to take the games we played as kids seriously."

Shi Luyu's heart suddenly tightened.

Xu Qingyao continued, "That's perfect, the young lady doesn't want to see you either."

"Since that's the case, take this opportunity to cut ties completely."

Xu Yuanjia didn't speak, but only turned his face slightly away.

Shi Luyu couldn't see his expression clearly.

Xu Qingyao smiled, "Perfect timing, I'll invite Songda Walapong over tonight."

She added slowly, "Don't forget, your childhood sweetheart back home was just a passerby from your childhood."

"Songda is the childhood sweetheart you truly grew up with in Taimai."
