Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

Shi Luyu lost.

This result was not unexpected for her.

Losing to Xu Yuanjia was perfectly normal.

She knew from the beginning that this gamble was not really about the cards, but about people's hearts, courage, and whether she dared to sit across from him.

As for the sentence, "If you win, I'll let you go," she was indeed shocked when she heard it.

But it only gave a slight jolt.

She never truly took those words as a promise that could be fulfilled.

For someone like Xu Yuanjia, offering you a glimmer of hope is itself another form of control.

Strangely, after the betting game ended, what she really kept thinking about wasn't "losing" or "what to do when I get home tonight," but another, more dangerous, and more clear-headed thought.

Maybe--

Perhaps her fleeting thoughts weren't entirely unfounded.

Following Xu Yuanjia, observing him, imitating him, and learning from him things she could never have reached before might actually become a path for her.

At least these five hands tonight have proven one thing:

If Xu Yuanjia were willing, he would truly teach.

Moreover, he taught in an extremely detailed and steady manner, almost without holding back any knowledge.

Even in the simplest comparison of sizes, there are still rhythms, judgments, probing, playing it safe, and the patience to enlighten you.

She used to feel only hatred and fear towards him.

Now, the hatred and fear are still there, but there is another layer added: an almost cold rationality.

The easiest way to defeat someone is to first learn to be like them.

Before that, she had to make Xu Yuanjia a little more satisfied, a little more relaxed, and preferably a little more arrogant.

Only in this way would he continue to let her sit beside him, watch him, learn from him, and even unknowingly hand her the knife.

Admittedly, this idea is indeed too risky.

Even a slight pause in Shi Luyu's mind sent chills down her spine.

But she had no other way.

On the way back, she kept thinking about it.

I was also thinking about that unavoidable hurdle tonight, that... damn "cream puff"!!!

How exactly do I avoid him, how do I stop him...?

At least how to minimize the damage.

The boxes of medicine in her bag felt like a scorching hot iron, burning her palm even through the leather. She knew she couldn't delay, nor could she gamble.

So throughout the journey, she kept two things on her mind.

One of them was how he made Xu Yuanjia lower his guard.

The other question is how to take the medicine as quickly as possible.

So much so that by the time she finally came to her senses, she realized the car had already stopped, and the familiar silhouette of the hillside villa was faintly visible through the rain. She was escorted upstairs, and as she walked back to her bedroom, she was still feeling a little dizzy.

It wasn't until the door closed behind her that she belatedly realized—

Xu Yuanjia did not follow.

This discovery finally allowed her to relax for a moment, a moment she had been on edge the whole way.

The breath in his chest slowly subsided, as if he had finally stolen a little breathing space from the long-term suffocation.

Without a second thought, she turned around almost immediately and locked the door.

Click.

Crisp, yet exceptionally clear.

The sound seemed abrupt in the quiet suite, and also like a shot of adrenaline for her.

She didn't care about anything else, she quickly walked to the dressing table, unzipped her bag, and took out a box of medicine.

She was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to pack her bag. She just tossed it onto the dressing table and turned to pour herself some water.

The water in the glass was still cold.

Shi Luyu lowered her head and picked out the pill, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She had actually calculated the time; it hadn't been 48 hours since she went to the pool last night, which was right within the medication's effective period. Not daring to delay any longer, she tilted her head back and swallowed the pills with the water.

The moment the pill slid down her throat, her shoulders and back tensed.

He was still clutching the glass in his fingertips, his palms were cold and wet.

Water slowly trickled down the side of the cup, leaving a cool mark on the back of her hand, but she didn't bother to wipe it away, only feeling her heart still pounding heavily next to her eardrums.

Just then, a heavy turning sound suddenly came from outside the door!

Click—

Short and abrupt, like a nail suddenly smashing into the silence.

Shi Luyu's breath caught in her throat!

Then, there was another sound.

Click, click—

This time the force was greater, and the sound and color were even more muffled and heavy.

The doorknob was being twisted continuously from the outside, the metal rubbing against the lock cylinder, producing a faint, cold, and hard noise.

It was magnified and made exceptionally clear in the huge suite.

The sky outside the window had darkened, and the dark clouds hung low.

The entire villa seemed to be shrouded in a damp, cold shadow, and the air was eerily quiet.

So the slightest sound became even more eerie, like someone standing outside the door, calmly and patiently turning the lock, making you feel as if they might walk right in at any moment, even though there was a door between you.

Shi Luyu's face turned pale instantly.

She turned her head sharply to look at the door, her heart leaping into her throat, pounding so fast it felt numb.

The door, which she had just locked herself from the inside, was now vibrating slightly under external force.

The doorknob pressed down and bounced back up, making a duller sound with each press.

She could even hear the soft rattling of the latch in the door frame, like the last futile resistance before a breach was imminent.

The person standing outside the door remained silent.

It was precisely because they didn't speak that it was all the more chilling.

That silence was like a damp, cold black cloth, slowly descending and enveloping all the light and oxygen in the room.

Shi Luyu felt a chill run down her spine, climbing up her back and even causing a layer of fine granules to appear on her arms.

She stood there, the only sounds in her ears being her own rapid, chaotic heartbeat and the incessant turning of the doorknob, one click after another, as if someone outside was patiently reminding her—

This door can't stop him.

She didn't even have time to put the cup down properly. In her panic, she glanced around and her first instinct was to find a place to hide the medicine.

The noise outside the door didn't stop.

She didn't even dare to think about what Xu Yuanjia's expression was like outside the door at that moment.

All I know is that the quieter it is, the more it shows that he doesn't take this door seriously at all.

The twisting sound was steady and continuous, without the slightest panic or hesitation, methodically dismantling the little breathing space she had just won for herself.

Each strike exuded an almost cruel composure.

It was as if he had already seen through all her panic and struggle inside, and was just waiting for the door to open so he could walk in step by step.

Shi Luyu's hands and feet were cold, and even her breathing became disordered.

She rushed into the suite, her mind completely blank. Her eyes scanned frantically between the bed, cabinets, and drawers. Finally, she gritted her teeth, bent down, and stuffed the medicine box under her pillow.

After she finished stuffing it in, her hand was still pressed against the pillow, but her heart didn't feel any calmer.

Because she knew all too well what kind of person Xu Yuanjia was.

His insight, alertness, and even his ability to capture her emotional changes were frighteningly sharp.

Perhaps he sensed something was wrong from the very first look and movement she made when she returned home tonight. Perhaps as he repeatedly turned the doorknob outside, he had already mentally reviewed all the places she might have hidden things.

We mustn't let him find out.

Absolutely not!!

She dared not even imagine what would happen to her if Xu Yuanjia found out she was secretly taking birth control pills.

It won't just be anger, nor will it just be mockery. He will definitely use the worst and most torturous methods to torture and humiliate her, driving her to the point of complete regret.

Shi Luyu stood by the bed and glanced down at the light purple leather skirt she was wearing.

Her mind was a jumbled mess, a mixture of fear, vigilance, and calculation. After a long pause, she suddenly looked up, as if forcing herself to make a decision in her most panicked moment.

Then, after staying in the room for a moment, she turned and walked out.

The moment she stepped back out of the inner room, the lock on the outer door made a short, soft click.

The locked door was broken open from the outside.

As the door was pushed open, the night sky filled with lightning and thunder shone through.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the sky was dark, with low-hanging clouds and torrential rain pounding against the glass, making it tremble.

A sudden flash of lightning cleaved the night sky for a moment, casting a cold, sharp white light on all the outlines in the room.

Xu Yuanjia stood at the door. He hadn't changed out of his suit yet.

The dark green suit was illuminated by the warm corridor lights, making his face appear even paler and colder, almost giving him a chilling, almost glamorous look.

The white silk shirt shimmered subtly under the light, and the loose button at the collar hinted at a dangerous looseness beneath the otherwise impeccably dressed appearance.

The man strode in, exuding an extremely cold aura.

The oppressive feeling was steady and orderly, like a ghostly Yama emerging step by step from the depths of the shadows.

His clothes were exquisite and dazzling, his bone structure was three-dimensional and profound, and his whole body was shrouded in an indescribable dampness and eeriness.

After a long while, he slowly lifted his eyelids, curved his lips, and revealed a smile.

I asked her, "What is Lulu doing all by herself in her room?"
