Ling Yisheng put the cup of water aside, leaned over and kissed Xiao Jinglan on the forehead.

His action came so suddenly that Xiao Jinglan was unable to react for a moment and just stood there, allowing him to kiss her.

It wasn't until he stepped back that Xiao Jinglan came to his senses.

Her eyelashes flickered uneasily.

After Ling Yisheng stepped back, he just looked at her quietly, with a gentle light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinglan's lips trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and helplessness. He seemed to want to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"Ah...Ayu, um, can we go out?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Jinglan finally spoke.

She softened her voice and called the man affectionately, as if trying to awaken his tenderness and conscience.

She knew that he liked her calling him that.

That's how the man made her call him over and over again last night.

"Here... I'm scared..."

Even though Xiao Jinglan deliberately lowered his posture to win the man's sympathy, there was no hypocrisy in his words at this moment, which was exactly what Xiao Jinglan was thinking in his heart.

If possible, she didn't want to stay here for even a second.

"Be good, don't be afraid..." Ling Yisheng ignored her request and just reached out to hug her to comfort her.

Only here would she be so dependent on him as she is now. How could he be willing to let her go?

That's how she should be, relying on him alone with all her heart.

No work, no socializing...

It belongs to him alone.

Completely and solely belongs to him.

He had this idea as early as when they were in love.

However, that experience at that time left a huge shadow on her, and he was reluctant to treat her like that afterwards.

Originally, he thought about keeping her locked up when he brought her back to China, but the girl was coaxed by him into getting the marriage certificate, which gave him a great sense of security, and she has been looking forward to their wedding ever since.

If the wedding could be done well, he wouldn't have the heart to destroy the relationship that they had worked so hard to save because of such behavior.

But why did she run?

Why do you want to escape marriage?

Why don't you want to have a good wedding with him and be together happily?

Since she doesn't appreciate my tolerance and concessions towards her, then forget it.

After all, no matter what, she was his.

It can only be his.

Thinking of this, the man's eyes were tinged with gloom and paranoia.

The strong and intense possessiveness in his eyes was so crazy that it made people feel frightened.

Xiao Jinglan's head was held in his arms, so she couldn't see the madness in Ling Yisheng's eyes at this moment.

Hearing his comfort, she felt anxious and worried, not knowing how to persuade him to take her out.

"I...I don't want to be here, it's so dark...Ayu~"

In the end, Xiao Jinglan had no choice but to use the trick she used when they were in love - acting coquettishly.

"Don't be afraid, I'll install another light later and it won't be dark here." Ling Yisheng touched her head with a gentle voice.

Even in the face of a woman's coquetry, he still didn't give in.

It has to be said that he was extremely persistent in this matter and would not be persuaded by any persuasion.

Ling Yisheng admitted that Xiao Jinglan's long-lost coquettish behavior made him happy and cheerful.

However, he felt resistance at the thought of taking her out to meet so many people.

What's more, if I keep her locked up like this, wouldn't that mean... I would have more opportunities to hear her act coquettishly?

Ling Yisheng is a man, but also a businessman.

Businessmen are good at calculating and know best how to maximize their own interests.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to agree to Xiao Jinglan's request easily.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Xiao Jinglan's patience reached its limit.

She was already feeling wronged and scared, but she still had to control her temper and act coquettishly and submissively to the culprit, even trying to please him. More importantly, it didn't work at all!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinglan's face suddenly turned cold, and she was no longer willing to pretend to be gentle and go along with the man.

She reached out and pushed his chest, trying to put some distance between them.

Ling Yisheng was pushed away defenselessly, but he pulled the person back after just a moment.

"Don't touch me, I need to rest."

Xiao Jinglan struggled restlessly, and his attitude was obviously much colder.

Hearing this, Ling Yisheng's eyes darkened for a moment, and then his strength increased, as if he wanted to absorb her into his bones.

A hint of sinisterness and paranoia emerged on his face, and his eyes gradually became darker.

"Lanlan, stop making trouble...be good and let me hold you for a while."

He deliberately ignored her resistance, thinking she was just throwing a tantrum, and warned her in a low voice.

"When are you going to take me out?" Seeing that he couldn't break free, Xiao Jinglan asked in frustration.

"..."

The man remained silent.

It seemed to be telling her that he had never thought of taking her out.

Xiao Jinglan was anxious, and pulled at his clothes, asking, "You can't keep me locked up here forever?"

"Not to mention it's so dark here, there are things waiting for me to deal with outside..."

Xiao Jinglan eagerly explained the reason for going out, but the man remained indifferent.

An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she continued to persuade him, "You...you still want to have a wedding with me, right? Let's go out and finish the wedding..."

"It doesn't matter. We don't have to have a wedding, as long as you are by my side." He rubbed the back of her head and said lightly.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to answer her, "As for those things outside you mentioned, I will arrange them for you one by one, so you don't have to worry."

"Ling Yisheng!"

Xiao Jinglan was so angry at his words that he reached out and hit him hard.

In the man's eyes, the force was just like tickling, and it seemed like she was deliberately acting coquettishly.

"Lanlan, you are so cute..." He chuckled and couldn't help but bent down to kiss her, his tone full of doting.

“……” Xiao Jinglan was tired and closed his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Seeing this, Ling Yisheng continued to kiss her, from her forehead to her cheek, and then to her neck...

As time went by, his kisses took on a new meaning.

Xiao Jinglan sensed a hint of danger and immediately became alert.

She opened her eyes and looked at him, her voice trembling, "Well...well, breakfast!"

"I, I'm hungry..." Xiao Jinglan caught a glimpse of the idle plate beside him and immediately used it as an excuse to prevent things from developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Ling Yisheng's movements were slightly stiff, but he retreated after a moment.

He took the bowl in his hand, picked up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to her mouth.

"Eat."

His voice was a little hoarse, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Jinglan's face, but there was a deep feeling in his eyes.

Xiao Jinglan's scalp tingled when he was looked at like that, and he had a bad feeling, but for now he could only drink the porridge from his hand.

After she finished the porridge, Ling Yisheng took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, then put the bowl aside.

Xiao Jinglan felt comfortable as the hot porridge warmed his stomach.

She squinted her eyes comfortably and yawned unconsciously.
