Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

The river breeze was still blowing outside, the flower branches were swaying gently, people were talking in the distance, and there was the soft sound of knives and forks hitting porcelain plates. The whole world seemed normal.

But in Shi Luyu's heart, it was as if this sentence had gently pierced a bottomless hole.

Before she could answer, Yu Baoying seemed to have already guessed.

"That bastard—"

Yu Baoying's expression changed immediately, and she slammed the teacup back onto the table.

She's usually a very straightforward person, and when she sensed something was wrong, her first reaction was to get up and find someone to settle the score.

"Sister, it's not what you think!"

Shi Luyu quickly reached out to stop her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back to her seat. "Sit down first."

Yu Baoying was still angry, her brows furrowed, and she asked in a low voice, "Tell me, Lulu, don't be afraid, is he treating you badly?"

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and muttered under her breath, "Bastard, does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he has power and influence? All the things he did to you, from hiding his identity to—"

The even harsher and sharper words that followed were already on the tip of my tongue.

Before Yu Baoying could speak, she suddenly noticed that Shi Luyu's face had turned slightly pale.

She paused, then swallowed back all those barbed words.

After a long pause, he could only lower his voice and sigh:

"Lulu, I'm not trying to force you to say anything. I just feel sorry for you and I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself by bearing it all alone."

Shi Luyu lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously curling up.

Of course she knew.

She knew exactly what kind of person Yu Baoying was. Straightforward, passionate, protective of her own, and always ready to step in and intervene when she saw injustice.

If it were any other man, and if it weren't Xu Yuanjia, she believed that Yu Baoying would definitely seek justice for her.

Without her even saying a word, Yu Baoying could completely avenge her.

It's not that she didn't want to talk about it.

If she could, she would even like to tell everyone what has happened in the past few months.

She recounted how she was trapped in that villa, how she tried to escape time and time again, how she was repeatedly caught and brought back, how he forced her to lose all her dignity, and how much she once loved him, which is how much pain she is now in.

Can not.

Yu Baoying is currently pregnant and has a child in her belly, so she cannot get too emotional.

She is now pampered by the entire Cheng family, and any mishap would be a serious matter. Shi Luyu cannot drag her into this mess because of her own affairs.

Moreover, even if we assume that Yu Baoying is not pregnant, things are still far from simple.

No matter how much Cheng Ye dotes on her or indulges her, he is still Xu Yuanjia's childhood friend.

Shi Luyu now understands the intricacies of relationships between men better than anyone else.

When it really comes down to choosing sides, Cheng Ye won't side with her. If Yu Baoying insists on standing up for her, the couple will inevitably have a falling out and a falling out.

That's not what she wanted to see.

She and Yu Baoying hit it off immediately, and it was precisely because she liked this friend that she was even more unwilling to put her in a difficult position because of her.

Thinking about it more deeply, the Cheng family couldn't compete with the Xu family.

Even adding another Yu family wouldn't be enough.

Her last escape, involving Yu Baoying, was a grave mistake. She was so panicked that she only wanted to grab onto any piece of driftwood; looking back, she was terrified by every step she took.

She cannot make the same mistake twice.

Some ill-fated relationships, since they are brought about by oneself, can only be resolved by oneself in the end.

Thinking of this, Shi Luyu slowly raised her head, tried to force a smile at Yu Baoying, and gave her a smile that was as natural as possible.

"It's really not what you think, sister."

After a long silence, she began to say something she didn't mean: "Our relationship is pretty good."

Yu Baoying stared at her, not giving an inch: "Then why are you crying?"

Shi Luyu felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but her smile softened even more.

"I cried because I saw you happy, sister."

Yu Baoying narrowed her eyes suspiciously, her gaze sweeping from her eyebrows and eyes down to her lips, then back to her face. "Really?"

"Of course." Shi Luyu nodded, her tone calm to the point of being almost docile.

She even went so far as to fabricate more insincere words, just to completely put Yu Baoying's worries at ease. As she spoke, she leaned forward, as if afraid of being overheard, and whispered in Yu Baoying's ear:

"Jiajia and I are already trying to conceive."

When she said those words, she felt a tightness in her chest.

Yu Baoying was stunned.

Her eyes widened, her expression visibly shocked. After a long pause, she asked in a low voice, "You guys... you've progressed this fast?"

She was truly stunned by those words.

Because she still clearly remembered what Shi Luyu looked like when she found her three months ago.

At that time, her face was deathly pale, her whole body was trembling, she was clutching her own hands as if they were the last straw, and she was crying so hard that she couldn't even speak properly.

His eyes were swollen, his nose was red, and his expression was full of panic and helplessness, as if he had been driven to the brink of despair and was pleading with her in such a desperate way.

Yu Baoying felt a pang of heartache when she looked at her.

So now, the person in front of me with bright makeup, beautiful clothes, and who can even casually say the words "preparing for pregnancy" is almost a completely different person from Shi Luyu who cried and begged me to take her away back then.

Only three months have passed.

How could it have changed so quickly all of a sudden?

Fearing she wouldn't believe her, Shi Luyu had no choice but to continue trying to smooth things over.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip, using that small movement to suppress the discomfort in her chest, and then said softly:

"I figured some things out on my own later."

"Although Jiajia did hide something from me at first, his identity is what it is... Now I know that he had many reasons to do so."

Yu Baoying listened with a furrowed brow.

Shi Luyu continued, "Moreover, during the time he was dating me while concealing his identity, he never truly hurt me."

"On the contrary, he has always taken good care of me and cared about me a lot."

She spoke these words calmly, her tone devoid of emotion, as if she were genuinely drawing a mature conclusion for herself.

"I was stuck on a particular point before, but I'm slowly starting to understand it now."

Yu Baoying has never been a very scheming person, and she is also willing to believe that her friends are not doing so badly in the end.

Hearing this, his expression finally softened a bit.

She reached out and took Shi Luyu's hand, her tone finally softening. "That's good, baby."

"You don't know, ever since he took you back last time, I've been worried about you and have been pressuring Cheng Ye to find out information for me every day."

As she said this, she couldn't help but let out a soft hum, "That damn man is very tight-lipped. I ask him ten questions, and he only gives me half a perfunctory answer."

"Now that I see you're alright, and that you two have gotten along so well, I can finally relax."

Shi Luyu smiled and lowered her head, not responding to that remark.

The steam from the flower tea on the table was still rising gently, and the breeze from the river brushed against the corner of the table, carrying a touch of moist, soft warmth.

When Yu Baoying talked about the hospital, her mother-in-law, Cheng Ye, and her baby, her tone became much lighter, and she exuded a relaxed feeling that she was living a very smooth and peaceful life.

Shi Luyu listened quietly, occasionally responding, appearing perfectly normal.

But she had actually been keeping an eye on it all along.

Pay attention to the view outside the glass window, notice the black car that's always parked on the opposite street corner, notice who glances at the waitress as she passes by, and note the route from the restaurant to the restrooms and kitchen.

She now dares not waste any opportunity to go out.

Half an hour later, she put down her teacup, smiled at Yu Baoying, and said, "Sister, I'm going to the restroom."

"Go ahead," Yu Baoying patted her head. "I'll wait for you."

Shi Luyu nodded and stood up.

On her way to the restroom, she glanced casually at the outside of the store through the glass.

The black car remained parked there, unmoved, like a silent shadow, firmly anchored outside her "freedom" of the day.

She looked away and went into the restroom.

The lights in the restroom were a cooler white than outside, the mirror was polished to a shine, and there were aromatherapy diffusers and fresh flowers on the counter. Shi Luyu didn't immediately go into the inner stall, but stood in front of the handwashing area, slowly washed her hands, and then took out a tissue to dry them.

She seemed to be waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity.

Not long after, the door was pushed open again.

A young woman who had also come to the restroom walked in. She was wearing a tank top and high-waisted pants, and had a small bag slung over her shoulder. She was clearly a customer of the store.

Shi Luyu gently lifted her chest.

As the girl walked to the sink, she immediately turned around and grabbed the girl's wrist.

"elder sister--"

The girl was startled and instinctively looked at her.

Shi Luyu quickly pulled out a wad of cash from her bag and stuffed it into her hand. Her expression was one of perfect embarrassment and awkwardness, and her eyes were slightly red, making her look quite pitiful.

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Please, you must help me."

The girl was stunned at first, then looked down at the stack of money, her expression immediately becoming cautious. "What's wrong?"

Shi Luyu quickly glanced outside the door to make sure no one was coming in before taking a step forward, leaning close to the other person's ear, and whispering a few words.

After hearing this, the girl's expression clearly showed some hesitation.

She glanced at the money again, then at Shi Luyu's delicate yet pale face, and finally reached out to take the money, stuffing it into her pocket before taking out her phone.

"Okay, I'll call them for you."

Shi Luyu then released her grip and whispered her thanks.

The next half hour felt exceptionally long.

When she returned to her seat, she looked perfectly normal, and even Yu Baoying didn't notice anything unusual.

The two chatted for a while longer, talking about clothes, skincare products, and the recent exhibitions in the city, and the atmosphere gradually lightened.

But Shi Luyu was still worried.

Time marched on, and she would occasionally look up in the direction of the restroom. Although a smile still lingered on her lips, her fingers were always gently tightening under the table.

Finally, half an hour later, the girl returned from outside.

She came in carrying a paper bag, as if a delivery person had just handed it to her.

She didn't look in Shi Luyu's direction, but simply returned to her seat naturally. After sitting for less than two minutes, she picked up the paper bag, got up, and walked towards the restroom.

Shi Luyu quickly understood.

"Sister, I'm going to the restroom again." She stood up with a smile.

Yu Baoying didn't think much of it, waved her hand, and said, "Go."

This time, Shi Luyu didn't linger after entering the restroom and went straight inside.

The girl was indeed already standing inside. Hearing the footsteps, she turned around, glanced at her, and without saying a word, stuffed the paper bag into her hand.

The handover between the two was so quick it was as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you," Shi Luyu said with a smile.

The girl lowered her voice, "Be careful."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Shi Luyu stood there, listening to the sound of high heels fading into the distance, her heart pounding wildly.

She slowly lowered her head and opened the small bag in her hand.

Several boxes of medicine lay quietly inside.

The drugs have different effects and durations of action, but their names are the same.

Birth control pills.
