Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Chapter 191: Cream puffs have an extremely high content of nutrients.

The casino has been cleared out.

The hall, which was just moments ago brightly lit and bustling with voices, is now so quiet that only the low hum of the air conditioning is heard.

The rows of chandeliers were still lit, but the light seemed to have suddenly dimmed, pressing down the originally glamorous gold and red to create a coldness that was almost like an interrogation room.

The black and gold chips on the gambling table had not yet been removed, scattered on the deep red velvet surface, like a pile of embers that had not yet cooled.

The wine glass was half full, with tiny water droplets still clinging to its sides, and a stub of unburnt cigarette lingered in the cigar ashtray.

The smoke had long since dissipated, leaving only a faint, lingering bitterness mixed with the smell of alcohol, tobacco, and the tension still lingering from the gambling match.

The huge venue is now empty except for a few people.

Xu Yuanjia sat in the main seat, his posture relaxed, as if this clearing and closing was just a casual gesture.

The dark green suit gleamed with an extremely somber, cold light under the casino's overhead lights.

The fabric was of high quality, with sharp lines and straight, firm shoulder lines, which made his already superior figure appear even more slender.

The white silk shirt inside was even more striking, smooth and delicate, with one button undone at the collar, adding a touch of relaxed yet dangerous nonchalance.

Green and white are very selective colors, but on him, they exude a nonchalant air of nobility.

The light sculpted his brow bone, highlighting his straight nose, thin lips, and smooth, clean jawline.

That face was so beautiful, and even with a touch of nonchalant weariness, it was already eye-catching enough.

Sitting in the main seat, with the empty casino behind him, he seemed like the hand that held everything above all the glitz and glamour, detached and indifferent, controlling life and death.

Shi Luyu was half-circled by him, with the chairs very close to her.

She was so close that she could clearly feel the man's body temperature and his sharp, imposing aura.

It has a strong sense of intrusion.

Even if he didn't touch her at that moment, just sitting there was enough to make her tense.

Her makeup today was very striking, with elongated eyes and tomato-colored lip gloss making her lips look bright and full.

But her radiance at that moment hadn't truly blossomed.

Although her eyes were upturned at the corners and her lips were dark, there was an uncontrollable tension on her face, and even her breathing seemed strained.

The blush slowly spread from the base of her ears to her cheeks, neither delicate nor shy.

It's more like being forced to sit at this gambling table, all emotions silently pushed to the ground beneath your skin, ready to completely spiral out of control with just a little more pressure.

Zhou Ji stood by the table, still holding the account book in his hand, his expression as cold and taciturn as ever.

Chai leaned against a table not far away, his posture seemingly more relaxed, but his eyes were still secretly scanning the area, clearly indicating he hadn't truly let his guard down. Further away...

Two men in black held Sheng Kun down, their hands still firmly on his side, waiting for the person in the main seat to speak.

An invisible thread was taut in the air.

When Shi Luyu heard Xu Yuanjia say he would let her go, her heart felt like it had been suddenly struck by something.

The shock came so suddenly that before she could fully recover, she noticed that the air around her suddenly tightened, and even the softest sounds seemed to be suppressed.

Even the overhead lights seemed to shine coldly, illuminating the people at the table and making it impossible for any expression to be hidden.

He actually said those kinds of things to her in front of so many people.

Shi Luyu's face flushed, and anger and embarrassment surged up almost subconsciously.

She didn't care about anything else, and raised her hand to cover Xu Yuanjia's mouth, pressing her palm directly against his thin lips, her fingertips trembling with a hint of exasperation.

"Shut up." She said in a low voice, but her eyes were fierce as she glared at him menacingly.

The moment her palm pressed against his, it was slightly damp, soft and warm against his lips.

It would remind him of how she always looked when she was bullied badly, her body exuding a fragrance that was permeated with dampness.

The soft warmth of a girl's palm easily suppressed the casual smile on his lips.

At such close proximity, even between her fingers, there was a faint scent of rouge, sweet and soft, with a hint of moisture from the heat.

Xu Yuanjia's eyes darkened slightly, as if the fragrance had stirred something within him, and his breathing became unconsciously heavier.

He slowly narrowed his eyes, not angry at all, but rather seemingly enjoying this rare "discipline" from her.

A smile slowly rose in those light-colored eyes, while her lips were still pressed against the palm of her hand.

As he exhaled, his warm breath brushed against the lines of her palm, causing an indescribable itch.

In that instant, the coldness and sternness that one would expect from someone in a high position faded somewhat, leaving only an almost pathological indulgence and interest.

Shi Luyu was further annoyed by this slight heat and was about to stop—

"Lulu." But her wrist was gently held by the man.

He removed her hand from his lips, but didn't let go.

Instead, he held it in his palm, slowly and leisurely playing with it, his fingertips gently tracing the base of her fingers, as languidly as if teasing a ruffled little animal. His slender fingers enveloped her...

The joints are clearly defined, the palms are very warm, yet the movements are so light that they leave one feeling completely bewildered.

"Let go of me." Shi Luyu's ears burned, and she struggled against his palm.

His voice tightened, "Don't touch me like that in public!"

Xu Yuanjia didn't press her further, only glancing at her with a lazy smile playing on his lips. His tone was slow and deliberately wicked, "If it doesn't work outside, it'll work at home, right?"

Shi Luyu blushed even more after being choked by his words, and her fingertips curled up slightly.

But she stubbornly refused to show any weakness, quickly looked away, pretended to be calm, and changed the subject: "So what if you let me go?"

She looked up at him directly and said, "If you want to control me, you can bring me back anytime."

I knew nothing about him before, and now I cannot know everything about him.

But at least.

At least now she knows who Xu Yuanjia is, and she also knows all too well what the Xu family means in Southeast Asia.

Letting her go sounds like a huge temptation, but upon closer inspection, it's like a trap coated in sugar.

If he really wanted to bring her back, there was nowhere on this land where she could hide.

After listening, Xu Yuanjia raised an eyebrow and actually smiled. "Lulu, do you really think you'll win?"

That sentence left her speechless.

Shi Luyu blinked, feeling uncertain and even completely unsure.

But to show weakness at this moment would be tantamount to handing herself back to him. She bit her lip, but still forced herself to maintain her composure, "I... I can't say for sure."

"Are you really that confident you can win?"

She forced herself to keep her voice steady and glared at him, "Don't be so overconfident, Xu Yuanjia."

After saying that, she herself felt a little unsure.

Xu Yuanjia didn't expose her. His hand was still on her waist, pressing down lightly.

The manner of the gesture could even be described as indulgent.

Hearing her reply, the smile on his lips deepened. In his eyes, her stubbornness was just another kind of cuteness. "So."

He turned his head to look at her, his voice tinged with laziness, "Is Lulu coming to the table or not?"

Shi Luyu's breathing became slightly sluggish, and her fingertips slowly tightened on the cup wall.

She didn't reply immediately; her eyelashes were lowered, as if she was weighing something repeatedly in a very short time.

Hesitation, wariness, and guilt were all suppressed in those few seconds of silence, and even her lips turned white from being pursed.

Xu Yuanjia's eyes were indifferent, but he spoke slowly: "If he's not going to sit at the table, there's no need to keep that good-for-nothing around."

After he finished speaking, he made a hand gesture.

Not far away, Chai immediately straightened up, called out to Zhou Ji, and the two walked towards Sheng Kun. The two men in black who had been holding Sheng Kun's shoulders tightened their grip.

Sheng Kun was still in a daze, but now his face turned really pale.

His green-gray wolf tail looked somewhat disheveled under the light, and his thin shoulders and back appeared tense as well.

The smooth, worldly, half-hearted smiling tiger demeanor he had just displayed finally revealed its cracks at this moment.

He was still young after all. No matter how good he was at handling things or how eloquent he was, when he was actually in front of Xu Yuanjia, his life was still worthless.

Shi Luyu's heart sank, and she immediately turned to look at Xu Yuanjia: "What do you mean?"

Her brow furrowed, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes. "Are you forcing me to the gambling table?"

Xu Yuanjia did not deny it, but simply rested his chin on his hand and looked at her with an excessively relaxed expression.

That attitude was the most hateful. He was the one who set the trap and cast the net, yet he acted all nonchalant, as if "the choice is entirely yours."

Shi Luyu felt a slight tightness in her chest.

She understood what he meant, of course.

If she hadn't gambled, Sheng Kun probably wouldn't have been able to keep his hand.

Xu Yuanjia will follow the original plan tonight: collect the debt, cripple the person, and that will be the end of this matter.

But if she were to gamble, she knew better than anyone that the chances of her winning against Xu Yuanjia were extremely slim.

At that time, let alone the so-called "chance to go," she didn't even dare to think about what kind of torment she would face after returning home tonight.

To make matters worse, she also had medication in her bag.

Those boxes of birth control pills now feel like hot coals to her, even through the bag they irritate her.

Even if the medicine were available, she wouldn't want to. Putting aside whether it was absolutely safe, she didn't want Xu Yuanjia to be so smug, and she didn't want to take medicine for that bastard.

She remained silent for a long time.

So long that the tense, deadly atmosphere that had been hanging over the casino was gradually dissipated by a strange, inexplicable ambiance.

The life-or-death situation that had just been so intense was abruptly disrupted by her hesitation, creating a sense of absurd pause.

Everyone was waiting for her to speak, waiting for her to make a choice.

Let's wait and see if this Jia Ye, who always only knows how to control others, will actually hand over the initiative to her.

Even the lights seemed brighter than before, illuminating the chips, cards, and expressions on everyone's faces.

Shi Luyu's ears grew redder and redder, and her face gradually warmed up. She was furious, but some words were stuck in her throat, harder to say than if she were at the gambling table.

Finally, she forced out, "Can we not play with... cream puffs...?"

The sound was very faint. So faint that it would almost dissipate with a single breath from the air conditioner.

But her face was already flushed, and her eyes were burning hot. Yet her expression was fierce, as if she was about to die of embarrassment at her own words, but she still gritted her teeth and glared at him.

Xu Yuanjia certainly heard it. "Lulu's voice is so soft."

But he pretended not to hear clearly, slowly leaning closer, his eyes practically brimming with malice.

"Brother can't hear me."

Shi Luyu: "..."

She was about to explode at his deliberately mischievous look.

Whether forced into it or completely resigned to her fate, Shi Luyu suddenly raised her voice, almost shouting through gritted teeth:

"I said—if I lose, can I not play with the cream puffs?!"

The sound of the ball hitting the ground silenced the entire casino.

Even Sheng Kun, who was being held down in the distance, was stunned. His eyes snapped out of their previous state of fear and embarrassment and stared straight at Shi Luyu, his expression blank for two seconds.

Clearly, even he hadn't expected anyone to dare speak to Xu Yuanjia so loudly.

They still used shouting.

Moreover, it happened in front of so many people, which can be described as utterly unrestrained.

He stared at Shi Luyu, his gaze changing rapidly in a short time. All the previous teasing and probing vanished, replaced by a clear reassessment, even a hint of contemplation.

It turns out that this Miss Shi is not just a pretty vase sitting next to Master Jia.

On the other side, Zhou Ji and Chai Ye both stopped.

The two exchanged a glance instinctively.

They had witnessed Jia Ye and this girl's entanglement from beginning to end, seen her being brought back, saw her escape, saw her cry, and even saw Xu Yuanjia lose control for her. Yet, each time, their understanding was still challenged.

It's always fresh and new.

For example, right now, they've never seen anyone dare to yell at Xu Yuanjia like that.

Chai, after holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't suppress his absurdity. He nudged Zhou Ji lightly with his elbow and asked in a low voice:

"What kind of cream puff?"

"Does Jia want some cream puffs?"

Zhou Ji, who was usually surprisingly clueless about such matters, frowned and actually thought about it seriously, "Doesn't Master dislike sweets?"

He scratched his head, his tone one of genuine confusion, and asked, "When did you start liking cream puffs?"

Chai was also puzzled, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. "Miss Shi just said she was 'playing' with cream puffs."

"Besides eating them... can you play with cream puffs?"

Just as Zhou Ji was about to reply, he suddenly felt a cold gaze sweep over him.

He and Chai both looked up at the same time.

Shi Luyu's face was still flushed, and her eyes were filled with shame and anger. She turned her head, stared at the two of them, and said, word by word:

"...You, all of you get out."

When had Shiba ever been scolded like this by a woman? He was immediately displeased and took a step forward: "Hey, what's wrong with you—"

Before he could finish speaking, a low laugh suddenly came from behind him.

Xu Yuanjia leaned back lazily in his chair, his voice not loud, but carrying a chilling air of indulgence:

"Didn't you hear me?" He lifted his eyes and glanced at Chai Ye.

"My wife told you to get lost."

Upon hearing this, Chai Ye and Zhou Ji immediately shut up.

The two men exchanged a glance, tacitly touched their noses, and neither dared to linger any longer, turning to retreat. The two men who had been holding Sheng Kun down also loosened their grip slightly and retreated to the edge.

The huge casino was suddenly mostly empty.

Sheng Kun was even more shocked than before.

Wife?

His mind went blank for a moment, and he could hardly believe what he had just heard. Thinking about how he had just teased Shi Luyu and tried to use her to stab Xu Yuanjia, Sheng Kun felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

He reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively changing his tune to salvage the situation:

"My sister-in-law wants some cream puffs, I'll make them!"

"I'll go to the best dessert shop right away and buy my sister-in-law the most expensive and delicious cream puffs—"

"Get out of here too!!!" Shi Luyu roared again, as if she wanted to disappear into the ground.
