Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

"There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do," Xu Yuanjia said calmly.

He reached out and tidied Shi Luyu's hair behind her ear, his tone so frank that there wasn't a single flaw in his words, "We just took over the Xu family, and there are still a few connections we haven't completely closed down."

He spoke casually, as if he were just discussing an ordinary job. "There's still the Xu family's jade transshipment route and two warehouses in Myanmar. I need to personally meet with a few people there to go over the old accounts and personnel matters again."

Shi Luyu frowned. She didn't quite understand these things, but she knew that Xu Yuanjia had indeed been very busy lately.

Xu Yuanjia looked at her, then suddenly chuckled softly. "Besides," he thought, "my aunt and uncle are both respectable businesspeople."

Shi Luyu looked up: "What does this have to do with anything?"

"Not all of the Xu family's businesses in Southeast Asia are clean." He said this with a casual expression, but a hint of self-deprecation in his eyes.

"I've just taken power, and everyone is still testing me. If I go to see them now, I'll inevitably bring trouble with me."

"What if my aunt and uncle find out too much and don't like me?"

Shi Luyu's heart softened immediately. "They wouldn't do that."

Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow slightly: "Are you so sure?"

"Of course," she said earnestly. "My parents aren't people who only care about status."

Xu Yuanjia looked at her, his smile gradually deepening. "But I do care."

He lowered his head and gently touched her face with his fingertips. "I don't want to go to see my dear parents with all this mess."

In a daze, a certain doubt flashed through my mind for a brief moment.

However, since the two had just reconciled and Shi Luyu was still immersed in the joy of their relationship becoming sweet again, she was unwilling to pursue the matter too much at this time.

There were many things I was reluctant to part with, so I asked, "Can we still see each other in the next few days?"

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, a lazy smile curving his lips. "Of course."

Shi Luyu's eyes lit up: "How do we meet?"

Xu Yuanjia raised his hand and pinched her earlobe. "You'll find out when the time comes."

/

Outside the airport, a discreet black minivan had been waiting for some time.

The driver took the luggage and respectfully opened the car door for Shi Luyu.

Xu Yuanjia didn't get in the car. He stood outside, bent down to fasten her seatbelt, and casually ruffled her hair. "Message me when we arrive."

Shi Luyu gripped his sleeve tightly, "You really aren't coming with me?"

Xu Yuanjia chuckled: "If you don't let go soon, your uncles and aunts will start to think that someone has kidnapped their precious daughter."

"You were already a liar," she muttered under her breath.

Xu Yuanjia's eyes crinkled into a smile as he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. "Hmm, even if you kidnap her, you'll have to secretly send her back."

As the car door closed, Shi Luyu looked back at him several times through the window. Only after Xu Yuanjia's figure disappeared into the crowd did she reluctantly sit down.

The car drove towards the Huashang community.

The driver was clearly very familiar with the route, knowing exactly which streets were prone to traffic jams and which side entrances were convenient for entry and exit.

Shi Luyu was preoccupied with the thought of seeing her parents soon and whether she would be able to see Xu Yuanjia later, and didn't think much about why the driver knew her parents' address so well.

The Chinese community is located in the suburbs.

Clusters of low-rise houses with yards are nestled among tall tropical trees, with white walls and gray tiles, and bougainvillea and frangipani flowers planted in front of the doors. Most of the residents here are Chinese families who have long been engaged in the jewelry, mineral, and timber businesses in the area.

The car was parked in front of a two-story courtyard.

Shi Luyu got off the bus with her luggage and rang the doorbell.

Not long after, the courtyard gate opened.

Lin Jing, the mother, stood inside the doorway, wearing a long dress and holding a pair of flower shears. Upon seeing who was outside, she froze, "Lulu!?"

Shi Luyu burst into laughter, "Mom!"

Lin Jing didn't even have time to put down the flower shears before opening her arms and pulling her into a hug. "Why did you come so suddenly? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I wanted to give you a surprise." Shi Luyu's eyes were slightly red.

Footsteps soon came from inside the house. Shi Huaiyuan, the father, came out of the study, and upon seeing his daughter, his face immediately lit up with a smile. "Why did you come all by yourself?"

He asked the question, but his hand had already taken her luggage.

Shi Luyu laughed and hugged his arm. "Dad, don't you welcome me?"

Shi Huaiyuan affectionately poked her forehead: "Who said you're not welcome?"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "Auntie, make a few more dishes tonight."

After saying that, he felt it wasn't enough, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and said, "Never mind, I'll do it myself."

Lin Jing chuckled: "The fish you made last time was almost too salty."

"That's because the salt bag broke."

"You always have an excuse."

Shi Luyu stood in the middle, surrounded by her parents on either side, who asked her questions.

How's school? Is the food good? Have you lost weight? Is your sleep good?

Lin Jing touched her face, then pinched her arm, and finally frowned: "You've lost weight."

Shi Huaiyuan immediately replied, "I'll stew chicken for dinner tonight."

"She doesn't like food that's too oily."

"Then let's stew it."

Shi Luyu smiled so hard her eyes crinkled.

This lively and familiar atmosphere gradually dispelled the fatigue that had accumulated over this period of time.

In the afternoon, Shi Huaiyuan went to the market to buy vegetables himself.

Lin Jing then tidied up the rooms on the second floor again.

In fact, that room had always been reserved for Shi Luyu, and the sheets and blankets were changed and washed regularly, but she still felt it wasn't enough.

"This pillow is too high; it will make your neck uncomfortable if you sleep on it."

"The curtains also need to be replaced with blackout ones."

"There are a lot of mosquitoes at night, I'll put out another mosquito repellent machine for you."

Shi Luyu followed behind her, smiling as she hugged her. "Mom, I'm just back for a few days."

"Coming for a day is the same as coming back."

Dinner was served with a table full of dishes: steamed fish, mushroom and chicken soup, hot and sour beef, corn and pork ribs, and sweet and sour lotus root slices, which Shi Luyu loved to eat as a child.

Shi Huaiyuan said he was just doing it casually, but he actually spent the whole afternoon working on it.

Shi Luyu was so full she could barely move.

After dinner, her father cut fruit, while her mother pulled her to sit on the sofa and chatted.

When asked about her love life, Lin Jing looked at her meaningfully and asked, "What about that Jiajia brother?"

Shi Luyu's cheeks flushed. "He has something to do."

"Didn't I come with you?"

"Um."

Shi Huaiyuan scoffed from the side, "So busy you can't even see anyone?"

Shi Luyu immediately explained for Xu Yuanjia: "He's really busy."

Lin Jing watched her protective manner and smiled without saying a word.

……

That evening, after her parents had gone to their room, Shi Luyu stood on the balcony and called Xu Yuanjia.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Brother." Shi Luyu smiled and raised her eyebrows.

"Hmm." It was quiet on the other end.

Shi Luyu leaned against the railing, her voice softening, "Where do you live?"

Xu Yuanjia did not answer.

Just as she was about to ask further questions, a light suddenly turned on on the second floor next door.

Shi Luyu subconsciously looked up and saw the balcony door opposite her being pushed open.

Xu Yuanjia, dressed in loose loungewear, with slightly messy black hair, stood lazily under the lamp watching her, holding his phone in one hand.

The two buildings are separated only by a high wall and a grove of tropical flowers and trees.

He held up his phone, a smile playing on his lips. "Here."

Shi Luyu was startled and quickly lowered her voice, "When did you move in next door?"

"today."

"How did you get in?"

Xu Yuanjia replied naturally, "I bought it."

Shi Luyu: "..."

She leaned over the railing and looked down, then looked up at him. "Just for a few days?"

"Um."

"That's such a waste," Shi Luyu said, pouting in dissatisfaction.

Xu Yuanjia laughed, "Forgot? Your brother has no shortage of money."

Hearing those familiar words, Shi Luyu's ears burned. The night wind blew through the leaves between the two houses, and the light and shadow flickered slightly.

Even though they were only a few dozen meters apart, she found the feeling of secretly meeting each other particularly novel.

/

For the next two days, the two of them would pass things between the two sides of the courtyard wall whenever their parents were taking a nap or going out.

Xu Yuanjia once tossed her a white frangipani flower, a box of her favorite candy, and a tiny jade rabbit pendant.

Shi Luyu then wrote a note and threw it back.

Have you eaten today?

Don't drink coffee all the time.

Go to bed early tonight.

She once wrote:

Brother, I miss you.

The note had just been thrown out when the wind shifted, and it landed directly in his own yard.

Shi Huaiyuan just came out of the house.

Shi Luyu watched in horror as her father bent down to pick up the crumpled paper.

She rushed downstairs, shouting, "Dad!"

Shi Huaiyuan had just unfolded a corner.

Shi Luyu snatched it back, saying, "These are my course notes."

Shi Huaiyuan asked suspiciously, "Why are the course notes crumpled up like a ball?"

"Rejected draft".

Shi Huaiyuan stared at her flushed face for a long time.

On the adjacent terrace, Xu Yuanjia leaned against the railing, looking down as he sent her a message.

[She's getting better and better at lying.]

Shi Luyu hid in a corner and quickly replied:

It's all your fault!

/

The following evening, a sudden downpour struck the area. Thunder rumbled and the power went out in the community shortly afterward.

The parents were downstairs checking the backup power supply.

Shi Luyu went back to her room to get a flashlight. As soon as she pushed open the balcony door, a tall figure tumbled in through the rain.

She was so frightened she almost screamed, but Xu Yuanjia quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Shh."

Rain dripped down his forehead and hair, soaking the shoulders of his loose shirt, making his skin appear even whiter in the cold rain.

Shi Luyu quickly pulled him into the room. "Brother, why did you come here?"

Xu Yuanjia closed the balcony door, calmly took off his wet watch, and said, "I miss you."

"But my parents are downstairs!"

"The power's out." He looked up at her, a smile playing on his lips.

"They can't see it."

"They can't come in either."

Shi Luyu wasn't actually afraid of her parents meeting him, since her parents had already met "Brother Jiajia" before and tacitly approved of their relationship.

But it's the middle of the night, and a man suddenly appearing in his daughter's bedroom is bound to make people think too much.

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her, "Brother came to see you in the rain."

A lazy smile played at the corners of his eyes, and his voice, low and husky from the rain, said, "My dear, are you really planning to kick me out?"

Shi Luyu softened, and she hurriedly took a towel from the bathroom and stood on tiptoe to dry his hair.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his head to cooperate with her, but his arm naturally wrapped around her waist.

Shi Luyu's ears were burning, and she was about to ask him to let go when there was a knock on the door.

"Lulu," her father's voice came in, "the power just tripped. Is your room back to normal?"

Shi Luyu's expression changed, and she hurriedly pushed Xu Yuanjia, "Quickly hide!"

Xu Yuanjia stood still, even raising an eyebrow with the composure, "Where are you hiding it?"

Shi Luyu yanked open the wardrobe and pushed the person inside.

Xu Yuanjia, being tall and long-legged, frowned as he squeezed in, "This place—"

"Don't speak!" Shi Luyu closed the cabinet door and turned on the spare light.

Only then did he open the door.

Shi Huaiyuan walked in and looked around. "Is there power?"

"Yes, I just arrived," Shi Luyu said, trying to remain calm.

The father nodded, then suddenly stopped. "You're wearing perfume?"

Shi Luyu's heart suddenly raced.

"Um...yes, I tried out the new perfume I bought." The girl, who wasn't good at lying, was forced to lie to her father.

She had barely finished speaking when her phone vibrated.

This cabinet is too small.

Then another one.

[My legs can't be fully extended.]

Shi Luyu lowered her head and replied quickly:

【Shut up!】

Shi Huaiyuan looked at her: "Who are you messaging?"

"classmate."

Her father looked at her for a few seconds, sensing something was off, but ultimately didn't ask further, only saying, "Go to bed early, don't stay up late."

Then turned and left.

As soon as the door closed, Shi Luyu immediately opened the wardrobe.

Xu Yuanjia came out, a smile playing on his lips, "Good girl, you're quite the liar."

Shi Luyu pushed him angrily, "It's all your fault."

Xu Yuanjia took the opportunity to grab her wrist and pull her into his arms, saying, "Then I'll stay and apologize tonight."

"no."

"Sleeping on the floor is fine too."

"no."

"sofa?"

"That won't work either."

Xu Yuanjia looked down at her and said in a drawn-out tone, "So heartless."

Shi Luyu coaxed and pushed him, and it was only with great difficulty that she finally got him back to the balcony.

Before climbing over the wall, Xu Yuanjia leaned down and kissed her, saying, "Goodnight."

Shi Luyu covered her mouth, her face flushed, and glared at him. "Let's go."

……

Several days passed like this, and the two always met in private, avoiding Shi Luyu's parents. Although they were seriously dating, there was an inexplicable sense of ambiguity and excitement in their secretive relationship.

Early that morning, Shi Luyu's parents had to go to the mining area, so they asked the driver to take her to the mall.

When the car stopped at the entrance, the person in the driver's seat was wearing a hat and sunglasses.

Shi Luyu opened the car door and got in. Just as she fastened her seatbelt, she recognized those hands.

His fingers were long and pale, with distinct knuckles and pale blue veins on the back of his hands. His wrists were sleek and his casual hand rested on the steering wheel, giving him a nonchalant sense of control.

"elder brother?"

Xu Yuanjia raised his hand and took off his sunglasses, a casual smile in his eyes, "Good morning, sweetie."

"Where's the driver?" Shi Luyu asked.

"It's a holiday," he replied matter-of-factly.

"What have you done now?"

Xu Yuanjia started the car and said, "Give him three times his salary and let him rest for a day."

Shi Luyu couldn't help but laugh: "My dad would be suspicious if he knew."

Xu Yuanjia glanced at her lazily, "So remember to come home on time, be a good girl."

Despite saying that, the car drove straight out of the intersection leading to the mall.

Shi Luyu quickly realized something was wrong. "This isn't the way to the mall. Where are we going?"

Xu Yuanjia gripped the steering wheel with one hand, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Running away for half a day."

Shi Luyu felt a sweet warmth in her heart and didn't ask any more questions. She leaned back in her seat and looked at him. The sunlight outside the car window was bright, and she could already see the river valley and the light blue sky in the distance.

Just then, her phone rang.

It was her mother, Lin Jing.

Shi Luyu answered the phone, "Mom?"

The situation on the other end of the phone was chaotic, and Lin Jing's tone was clearly urgent. "Lulu, something has happened at our family's mining area."
