Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

In the cat's eyes, those eyes were staring straight at him.

Shi Luyu suddenly held her breath. Her scalp tingled, a chill ran down her spine, and even her fingertips began to tingle.

She was initially startled by the feeling of being watched and captured, but the next second, another thought abruptly struck her mind—

The Xu family.

She escaped from a pool of blood at the temple halfway up the mountain.

She forced herself to go to the police station the next day. She was deathly pale, her body damp and trembling with fear. The middle-aged policeman in the station, smoking, looked at her with pity, but also with a fear of getting involved.

What did he say back then?

"The Xu family isn't just powerful, they're incredibly influential."

"Which place in the Golden Triangle doesn't have to cater to their whims?"

"The Xu family is the law here."

The Xu family. The Xu family. They're all from the Xu family.

Shi Luyu's fingertips curled up little by little, and her breathing trembled.

On the plane to Myanmar, she had a fight with Xu Yuanjia. He mentioned "clan elders," "rising to power," the Xu family's power and deep-rooted influence, and that "the Xu family's influence is everywhere."

At that time, she was so caught up in the sweet romance of reconciliation that she didn't think about anything else.

But looking back now—

What kind of family would have an elder in a century-old clan?

What kind of business would claim that "family influence is everywhere" and spread throughout Southeast Asia?

What kind of person would talk about "rising to a higher position" so casually?

unless……

Shi Luyu felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

Unless, of course, the "Xu family" that Xu Yuanjia mentioned is the same Xu family that the policeman at the Mid-Levels Police Station described as having "connections to the heavens."

Unless, there has only ever been one Xu family.

Unless, from beginning to end, Xu Yuanjia's "Xu" belongs to the same system as Jia Ye, the black-and-golden snake and eagle emblem, and that bloody and dark world.

Was the person she loved and relied on the whole time, the one she called "Brother Jiajia," lying to her all along?

When this thought popped into Shi Luyu's head, her vision went black.

But it was precisely at this moment that a surge of courage, which she herself couldn't explain, suddenly welled up within her. Perhaps she was terrified to the extreme, or perhaps she had been forced into a corner with nowhere left to retreat, she suddenly didn't want to hide anymore.

She raised her hand and, without thinking, turned the lock on the door.

The front door was left wide open.

The corridor was brightly lit. A man stood outside the door, dressed in clean, crisp black trousers and a greyish-white shirt, with the top two buttons undone at the collar. He had slender wrists, broad shoulders, and long legs.

He looked like he had just come back from buying late-night snacks, with the ends of his hair still having a slight, loose curl from the night breeze.

That face was still excessively beautiful, with exquisitely sharp features such as brow bone, nose bridge, and lip line. Yet, her expression was nonchalant and composed, as if nothing had happened. She was radiant and dazzling, still the look she knew and loved most.

He looks incredibly dashing.

It was also incredibly unfamiliar.

"Why are you looking at me like that, my dear?" Xu Yuanjia took the lead and stepped straight into the house.

As he brushed past her as he entered, the familiar, cool, woody scent wafted over her, clean yet assertive. He naturally invaded her private space, without any restraint.

"...Don't you recognize your brother?" His words carried a hint of mockery.

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually closed the door behind him.

"boom--"

The loud noise shook the quiet apartment, even the walls seemed to tremble slightly. It also shattered the last bit of composure that Shi Luyu was desperately trying to maintain.

Her eyes were red at the corners. She stood by the entrance, looking at him, her mind in turmoil.

All the speculation, fear, doubt, and absurdity were mixed together, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

After a long pause, she managed to speak with difficulty: "You... why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanjia narrowed his eyes. He stood in the center of the living room, with a cold white ceiling light behind him, making his features appear even more profound. In that instant, the smile on his face faded.

Instead of answering, he asked a question, his voice suddenly turning somber: "Why am I here?"

These four simple words, though seemingly light, carry a chilling coldness that sends shivers down one's spine.

Shi Luyu was so frightened that her shoulders involuntarily hunched over.

She was all too familiar with that aura, that tone, that cold and disdainful expression.

It wasn't the Xu Yuanjia she usually saw, nor the lazy, slightly roguish graduate student at school, nor the Jiajia brother who would snuggle in her arms and pretend to be wronged.

Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes, looking at her pale face and slightly trembling fingertips, his expression pausing for a few seconds.

After a while, as if suddenly remembering something, his expression softened.

"What?" He took a step closer, his voice becoming lazy again.

"Doesn't the little girl miss her brother?"

Shi Luyu remained silent.

Xu Yuanjia continued forward, "They don't want me to come because they don't want to see me."

He approached step by step, his eyes slightly raised, revealing a strange and sinister smile that was so beautiful it sent chills down one's spine.

"Or..." He stopped in front of her, lowered his head, and stared into her eyes.

"Afraid to see me?"

Shi Luyu was forced to retreat step by step.

The potted plant behind her was right in front of her. Just as her lower back was about to hit it, the man suddenly raised his hand, firmly grabbed her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

Shi Luyu instinctively tried to struggle, but her body froze in the next second.

No. At least not now, we can't alert them.

She hadn't fully figured things out yet, and she hadn't obtained enough evidence to definitively prove everything. She didn't know what would happen if she revealed a weakness in front of him.

So she had no choice but to give up struggling and let Xu Yuanjia hold her.

The man lowered his head, burying his face in the crook of her neck, and inhaled deeply her scent. His actions were as intimate as a beast familiar with her fragrance, and his voice became low and husky.

"Lulu." The tip of her tongue darted out and licked along a small patch of skin on her shoulder and neck.

Shi Luyu froze. The warm, wet touch slid from her shoulder to her collarbone, lingering and teasing the same spot repeatedly, carrying an almost undeniable sense of possession.

"You'll always stay obediently by your brother's side, right?" He pressed, each word dripping with pressure.

Shi Luyu bit her lip, not daring to make a sound.

She was afraid. More afraid than ever before. Afraid that if she opened her mouth, her voice would betray something amiss.

Xu Yuanjia seemed to sense her silence, and his hands suddenly tightened, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

They forced her to speak, ordering her to "speak."

"...Ugh." Shi Luyu's brows furrowed instantly, her voice trembling slightly. "It hurts...Brother, you're hurting me..."

Xu Yuanjia loosened his grip on her slightly. He straightened up, his gaze sweeping down onto her face.

The smile in his eyes was sinister to the point of being terrifying, and although the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, there was not a trace of laughter in the syllables of his words.

"My little one hasn't answered his brother yet," he said, slowly raising his hand.

His slender fingers traced the delicate neck, gently brushing against her fair skin. The movements were light, yet lingered for too long, carrying an almost malicious tenderness.

"Speak." He looked down at her, his tone brooking no dissent.

"Lulu will always love her brother and will never leave his side."
