Imprisoning the Black Moonlight

"Be serious!" Yao Gongyue kicked him, then looked at the man seriously. "Life has many paths, you go to Hunan and I go to Qin. Class is not something you can reach just because you are willing to bend down. Hong Jin, I don't like your class's life, and you can't understand my life pursuits. If you really love me, let me go. I am a free wind, not a caged bird."

"You've even come up with a poem for me!" Hong Jin's unfathomable eyes revealed no emotion, and his tone was as gentle and doting as ever. His right thumb caressed her earlobe. "Where do you get so many twists and turns in this little head of yours, hmm?"

"I am telling the truth!"

"Facts are not necessarily the truth, my dear. Even the truth can yield in the face of absolute power!"

Yao Gongyue, "..."

"Class is just a lie that cowards make up to appease women. The truth is that they are unwilling to give up the power and money brought by their families, so they use class to appease those stupid women. But they themselves have no ability, so they can only use their rotten flesh to marry into other families, to contribute to the prosperity of their families, and in return, they can squander some pitiful scraps."

Yao Gongyue was completely confused, but there was one thing she understood: Hong Jin did not agree with her ideas.

Isn't that how the power struggles and life-or-death battles in TV dramas are always portrayed? Even someone as powerful and wealthy as Ouyang Xu had to obediently agree to a marriage alliance, not daring to utter a single "no."

"You talk as if you're not a rich kid who wouldn't sacrifice for your family's interests. Don't you also enjoy your family's power and money?"

Hong Jin couldn't help but chuckle, gently patting the innocent little thing, a smile playing on his lips. "What, worried that someone's got their eye on me?"

"Aren't there enough people who have their eyes on you?" Yao Gongyue rolled her eyes. Back then, that bastard Hong Jin was so high-profile that his brainless fans almost crushed her with their eyes. They even started a website to curse her. Although Hong Jin dealt with them severely in the end, the girls who led the charge were expelled from school.

"Stop trying to change the subject." She snapped out of her daze and angrily pushed the man's arm.

"Are you really that curious?" Hong Jin tapped her brow helplessly.

Yao Gongyue looked at him with her beautiful eyes, her gaze clearly saying, "What do you think?"

“Nothing is absolute, baby. I’m the exception.” Hong Jin picked up her little hand and played with her slender, white fingers with great interest. “Everything I have and enjoy is earned by myself. Even if my parents laid the foundation, without my existence, that foundation would only be a foundation. It wouldn’t build a towering building from the ground up.”

In our family, my grandfather represents the past, my father represents the present, and the name Hong Jin represents the future. Not just my personal future, but the future of the Hong family, the future of the entire J country, because I am strong enough that no one can do anything to me, strong enough that I am irreplaceable. The worst that can happen between me and my family is a compromise within acceptable limits. Me, a member of an alliance through marriage? Who dares?

As he finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow and curled his lips into a wicked smile, his entire being exuding arrogance.

Yao Gongyue had always known that beneath his refined and elegant exterior lay a completely different mind, but seeing his undisguised arrogance and hearing his words, which were far beyond her comprehension, still left her stunned and unable to recover for a long time.

Previously, I thought that a rich young master like Ouyang Xu was just a pipe dream, but now, in front of Hong Jin, Ouyang Xu is like the difference between a landlord's son and the emperor's crown prince.

In the past, when watching TV dramas, the plots of wealthy young men being forced to give up their beloved girls for arranged marriages made her feel guilty. But now, Hong Jin says that those men are all incompetent cowards. A truly capable man can be forced by no one, and no one dares to force him.

This was so shocking, it was completely beyond her comprehension.

She knew Hong Jin was a genius, and ordinary people were like ants in his eyes, but now that she had directly experienced this gap in understanding, she was still incredibly shocked.

How can they fight like this? Hong Jin looked at her, probably with the same feeling she had when she looked at Jin Jin: she was both naive and silly. How could they go back like this?

She was shocked and frustrated. She couldn't outsmart him; she was no match for this jerk. For the first time, she felt inferior because of her own intelligence.

"What's wrong? You kept asking to hear it, but then you wouldn't say anything!" The man snapped his fingers in front of her face. "Silly girl!"

"Hong Jin, in your eyes, am I like a fool?" The girl looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, filled with unspeakable grievance and despair.

"Why are you crying again?" The man pulled her into his arms with heartache. "Our Yuebao is so smart, how could she be stupid?" Even the most brilliant man is helpless when faced with a woman's inexplicable emotions. Hong Jin looked at her aggrieved appearance, feeling both amused and heartbroken. What had she said wrong this time to upset her little princess?

"You have it, you have it, don't try to deny it!" She cried harder and harder, struggling in the man's arms like an eel.

"Okay, okay, I did. I'm a bastard, I'm a dog of a man, it's all my fault!" He grabbed the struggling little thing in his arms with his big hand and coaxed her along with his words.

"Look at how carelessly you've dealt with me, and you still say you don't think I'm stupid. Let go, I don't want to see you right now!" She wiped away her tears fiercely, and faint red marks appeared on her delicate cheeks where her hand had passed.

She always cherished her face, even applying a face mask to calm her nerves if she made a wrinkle while sleeping. Today, she was putting so much effort into it that the man realized something was wrong. What was she upset about?

He quickly reviewed the conversation in his mind, dissecting it meticulously to extract the key information, his wolf-like eyes growing increasingly dark...

She was scared!

He feared she wouldn't be able to escape his control.

By deliberately bringing up the topic of arranged marriage, she wasn't really trying to persuade him, but rather testing him. Within the limits of her understanding, she wanted to find his fears and weaknesses so she could exploit them.

Yuebao never expected that her limited knowledge of the top elite class came entirely from absurd and melodramatic TV dramas. When he presented her with the most basic and simple knowledge, she couldn't accept the gap, and all her beliefs collapsed in an instant.

She is different from Ouyang Zhen. At least Ouyang Zhen had basic cognition. From the beginning, she knew what she was facing, which is why she became depressed.

As for Yuebao, she is fearless because of her ignorance. In addition, the two met when they were in school, and he has always spoiled her to an unruly degree. She is not afraid of him, so they have been able to stumble and fall together to where they are today.

But as the fog before her eyes was gradually lifted and she saw the truth, she realized that this Hong Jin was not only the Hong Jin she knew, but also the unapproachable prince in the eyes of others. She became timid, afraid, and confused.

"Baby, look at me!" Hong Jin's breathing became increasingly erratic. He nervously lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I swear, baby, I swear on my life that no matter what identity I have, whether I am the eldest son of the Hong family, the crown prince of J country, or even if I inherit my father's power and become prime minister in the future, it is all in front of others."

In front of you, I will always be your dog man, the dog man who occasionally bullies you but doesn't actually dare to make you angry, the dog man who clings to you every day, the dog man you can hit and scold at will, the dog man you can order around as you please.

"Yao Gongyue, you are not allowed to be afraid, you are not allowed to back down, and you are not allowed to run away, do you hear me?" His eyes were red, and his large hand holding her chin was trembling slightly, revealing his panic and helplessness.

Yuebao, don't be afraid, I will always be your devoted follower, always bowing and scraping before you.

Between us, it has always been me who is more afraid of losing you.
