Lu Tang's eyes subconsciously followed Liu Ruo. The scene she witnessed last night could not be erased from her mind.

I haven't seen Ji Shengzhou for nearly a week. He went to China to pick up Liu Ruo.

Liu Ruo does not have a good relationship with her family.

She has a lover, but the Liu family forces her to marry Ji Shengzhou.

Her sweetheart was the man who kissed her in the car yesterday.

The bodyguard who had protected her for fifteen years.

Liu Ruo did not plan to follow Ji Shengzhou to Europe this time. She knew what the consequences would be if she came.

But the Liu family's methods were so dirty that they threatened her with the bodyguard's life, so she had no choice.

Now, the Liu family has sent out the invitations to her and Ji Shengzhou's wedding.

She had to get married for the sake of Liu family's reputation.

"What are you thinking about?" Ji Shengzhou grabbed her wrist and walked out the door.

Lu Tang's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and he took a step forward to catch up with him.

Ji Shengzhou pulled her into the car.

"Aren't you curious about where I've been these days?" He lowered his eyes, hiding the sadness in them.

These days, he has been waiting for Lu Tang's call.

But who would have thought that Lu Tang didn't call him or even send him a WeChat message.

Lu Tang met his gaze and for a moment didn't know how to answer.

"I've been preparing for the competition lately and I don't have time to think about anything else," she explained.

Besides, she has no control over what Ji Shengzhou can and cannot do.

What’s the use of being curious?

Suddenly, Lu Tang recalled the phone call that Ji Shengzhou received when she was in Yuanshan Villa.

He came to Europe this time to get married.

Their relationship will end soon.

With the championship of this designer competition, the benefits brought by the company's cooperation and the establishment of her personal brand will grow linearly. In less than two months, she will be able to pay back all the money she owes Ji Shengzhou.

"Ji Shengzhou." Lu Tang spoke this time, being very cautious. "You are getting married."

Ji Shengzhou had been expecting that during the few days when he was away, Lu Tang would share with him what had happened recently, or complain to him about Xu Kuanyang's disgusting behavior in the competition and ask him to support her.

Anything is fine, even if Lu Tang asks him to overthrow the entire Xu family, it's no problem.

But it happened to be this matter.

His face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Tang turned his eyes away, not wanting to look him in the eye: "I will pay you back the money I owe you soon. It's time for us to end it."

The temperature in the car dropped instantly after hearing these words.

Ji Shengzhou's breathing became heavier unconsciously, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Lu Tang, there's no way this can end between us." His words were crisp and clear, cutting her off immediately.

If it doesn't end, then what is the relationship between them?

Lu Tang shook his head, his eyes filled with bitterness: "Ji Shengzhou, you are about to get married, don't humiliate me in this way."

"Humiliation?" Ji Shengzhou's lips curled up into a smile. "Have you forgotten what you saw at the hotel entrance last night so quickly?"

Hearing this, Lu Tang was stunned.

Ji Shengzhou knows...that Liu Ruo has other men outside?

Ji Shengzhou looked at her seriously, his eyes clear, "After Liu Ruo returned to the capital, she planned to get engaged immediately, but there's still no news about the engagement party. Do you know why?"

Lu Tang shook her head. She didn't understand why Ji Shengzhou mentioned this.

"why?"

Ji Shengzhou did not answer directly, his eyes became gradually deeper.

He leaned forward towards Lu Tang, as if to occupy her entire sight.

"Lu Tang." His voice suddenly became deep, "Do you never take what I say to heart?"

"No matter who I am, do you treat every love word I say as a joke?"

Ji Shengzhou's sudden seriousness caught Lu Tang off guard.

But Lu Tang had to admit that what he said later was right.

No matter if he was wearing the vest of "little male vixen" or his true identity as Ji Shengzhou, Lu Tang never took his words of love for her seriously.

The hurt she suffered three years ago is still deeply engraved in her mind.

The identity of "little male vixen" was too fake, and she didn't dare to give him true feelings, let alone love him.

Ji Shengzhou's identity was too conspicuous. When Lu Tang was with him, she only wanted to escape.

Only then did she realize that she seemed to have never faced the relationship between them.

"You don't get engaged to her... because of me?" Lu Tang couldn't believe what he said.

But she was excited and her heartbeat was quickening.

She met Ji Shengzhou's eyes, but her cheeks were already flushed.

"You don't believe it?" Ji Shengzhou's face was sincere.

Without waiting for Lu Tang to answer, he got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and pulled Lu Tang down.

He walked straight to the third floor of the hotel and took Lu Tang to his room.

Ji Shengzhou's room is right next to Liu Ruo.

Liu Ruo had a big conflict with the Liu family, so she didn't go home and chose to stay in a hotel.

Standing in the room, Ji Shengzhou brought Lu Tang to the window, opened the balcony door, and Liu Ruo's voice came.

"I'll say it one last time, I won't marry Ji Shengzhou. The person I love is Aze, not Ji Shengzhou! I'd rather die than get married!" Her tone was aggressive and she was obviously angry.

It was obvious that she was talking to the Liu family on the phone.

Every time Lu Tang saw Liu Ruo, she always looked like a lady from a noble family, petite and beautiful like a jade.

Hearing these words coming out of her mouth, Lu Tang was a little surprised.

"Did you hear that?" Ji Shengzhou stood behind her, his broad chest covering her.

Lu Tang's heartbeat had been extremely fast.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ji Shengzhou frowned slightly: "Didn't you hear? Then I'll say it again, there is no relationship between us. Everything is a cover for a family marriage."

His lips were pressed against Lu Tang's earlobe, and she heard every word clearly.

At this moment, it seemed as if everything around me had become silent.

Ji Shengzhou held her in his arms, with only a layer of cloth between them.

She could clearly hear Ji Shengzhou's strong heartbeat.

Ji Shengzhou's big hands grabbed the curtains, and with a "click", the curtains were pulled shut, and the light in the room became much dimmer.

"Lu Tang, turn around and look at me." His voice was low, and every word became seductive.

Lu Tang's face was as red as an apple, and the burning sensation on her cheeks took a long time to fade away.

Her body was tense and her mind was blank.

Excited, fortunate, happy...

Her mood is very complicated.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Ji Shengzhou grabbed her shoulders and manually turned her body around.

"You little heartless thing, I've told you so much, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Lu Tang lowered his head, looking helpless and not daring to look him in the eye.

Or rather, I don't know how to face her again.

All along, Lu Tang has regarded herself as an underground lover, but she never expected that she was the only person standing at the top of Ji Shengzhou's heart.

In a short period of time, such a gap made her unable to react.

Ji Shengzhou raised his hand and pinched her chin with his long fingers.

Lu Tang had to look up at him.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Tang's body trembled.

His eyes were deep and his possessiveness was as strong as a wild beast, ready to eat her at any time.
