After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lu Sijian lowered her gaze. "How long do you plan to keep me locked up?"

She was too lazy to guess and just asked for the answer.

He Jinhuan notified the outside world to prepare clothes and toiletries for Lu Sijian, as well as to prepare food and send people over.

He then smiled and said, "How can this be considered a hurdle? We're engaged, and we need to spend more time together to build our relationship. At least before the wedding, I don't want to be separated from you."

He originally wanted to take things step by step, believing that the two of them should cultivate their relationship properly.

Unexpectedly, she was too clever and easily extracted his deepest secret.

"You should have foreseen this consequence before you tried to trick me into revealing information."

Since that was the case, he had no choice but to go with the flow and keep her here, since he didn't want to suffer the pain of unrequited love anyway.

Lu Sijian had a very dirty thing to say, and another even dirtier thing to say.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean I tricked you into telling me? Murderers usually go back to the crime scene to enjoy their spoils. You've been holding it in for so long, haven't you? That's why you're showing off in front of me. What does that have to do with me?"

"Besides, you're just trying to hypnotize me, aren't you? People are only vulnerable when they're experiencing strong emotions, and I'm the one who's innocently suffering, okay?"

He Jinhuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You're absolutely right."

I was excited, after all, if no one appreciated it, what was the difference between it and wearing fine clothes in the dark?

As for hypnosis, he obviously failed; the other party didn't reveal a single flaw.

She undoubtedly has very beautiful eyes, with long, thick eyelashes, and the captivating charm in her eyes is mesmerizing.

"You are the real natural hypnotist, you easily captured my heart and made me infatuated."

He Jinhuan finally couldn't resist the temptation. She grabbed the rose, ignoring the thorns piercing her palm, and pulled her close.

Then he lowered his head and gently touched her cold fingertips.

Lu Sijian didn't expect this person to risk injury to do this, and without thinking, she slapped him across the face.

With a loud "smack!", He Jinhuan's head was knocked to the side by the slap.

Upon hearing He Jinhuan's request, Secretary Zhou immediately understood that He Jinhuan was preventing Lu Sijian from leaving.

They wouldn't even let me go back to pack my clothes; it's practically house arrest.

He rushed to the ward with his men. The young master wanted people. Could it be that he was going to get violent towards Lu Sijian?

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, instead of seeing He Jinhuan being violent towards Lu Sijian, they saw Lu Sijian being violent towards He Jinhuan.

My God, this woman is incredibly audacious!

"Fine, you dare hit our young master!" Secretary Zhou sneered, ordering the bodyguards behind him, "Hurry up and arrest her!"

Two bodyguards rushed in, looking menacing, and were about to attack Lu Sijian.

Lu Sijian glanced at the bodyguards blocking the doorway, then at He Jinhuan, who was closest to her.

Secretary Zhou, loyal to his master, stepped forward and said, "What, are you trying to take our young master hostage?"

Lu Sijian sighed, "With so many of you, what can I do?"

She raised her hands, for discretion is the better part of valor.

Yesterday's attack on Secretary Zhou and his underlings was a surprise attack, and it was swift enough.

Secretary Zhou was surprised that the other party was so timid, and couldn't help but feel a little smug. Fortunately, he had been paying attention to the movements in the room, which was why he was able to save the day in time.

He rolled up his sleeves, already figuring out how to slap the young master back.

I just don't know how many slaps it would take for such a delicate face to swell up.

Just as Secretary Zhou swung his arm, ready to slap him hard, his neck tightened suddenly, and then he received a slap on the face.

He instinctively wanted to retaliate, but met He Jinhuan's sinister gaze.

Secretary Zhou was shocked. How could it be the young master!

Regardless of his reaction, He Jinhuan slapped him several more times.

Secretary Zhou was completely stunned by the blow, her face burning with pain, and she couldn't understand why!

He Jinhuan finally felt much better after venting her anger and leaned back on the pillow to catch her breath.

"I wouldn't even lay a finger on her, how dare you hit her?" He Jinhuan said coldly after a moment, having calmed down.

Lu Sijian's slap not only made him see stars, but also aggravated the injury on his head, causing him excruciating pain.

He wasn't a very good-tempered person, and his temper flared up instantly.

But he couldn't bear to hit Lu Sijian.

Secretary Zhou's arrival was perfectly timed; for a moment, a violent rage surged within him, and he really wanted to gouge the other person's eyes out.

However, this person is his father's capable assistant and is extremely loyal. Since Lu Sijian doesn't want his eyes, let's leave those dead fish eyes in his eye sockets for now.

He Jinhuan: "Secretary Zhou, are you alright?"

Secretary Zhou dared not say anything and quickly shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

He Jinhuan: "You've misunderstood. I was rude just now."

He looked at Lu Sijian politely, "Next time I will definitely ask for your permission first."

Of course, if she doesn't agree... that won't do either. His gaze lingered on Lu Sijian's red lips, his eyes filled with a crazy stubbornness.

Next time... he'll definitely kiss her.

Lu Sijian felt very uncomfortable being stared at. What was this guy still dreaming about?

She bluntly stated, "There will be no next time. I will not go to the capital with you, I will not marry into your family, and I look down on you."

He Jinhuan wasn't angry. She asked, "Why? I thought our two families had already reached a consensus."

He had said that only if the two families were to marry would the He family drop the charges against Lu Lingbo for attempted murder.

He paused, then tilted his head. "Am I not good enough?"

Lu Sijian almost laughed. "Why should I think you're good? Based on your delirious expression right now? Or because you're stupid, wicked, and low?"

Secretary Zhou was also shocked; this woman was incredibly ungrateful.

"You're so stubborn! Our young master is so handsome, so rich, and so devoted—a man you couldn't find even with a lantern. How could you not be moved?"

Lu Sijian admired his sycophantic behavior; how could he even praise that?

She thought about it and concluded that, ultimately, it was because there was a man by her side who was always trying to flirt with her, which made her almost immune to men's advances.

"Don't look at me like that. Do you think you're charming and alluring? No, you're actually ugly and greasy. Compared to some people, you really look like a dead fish."

Sheng Yunchao's captivating peach blossom eyes were truly alluring and charming, so gentle that one wanted to drown in them.

Fortunately, she always remembered that she was there to complete a mission, which helped her to stay true to herself.

So what is He Jinhuan anyway, that she thinks she can win someone's heart?

He Jinhuan's face darkened, anger simmering in his eyes. He clenched his fists, keenly sensing something. "Who are you comparing me to? Lou Xiao?"

Just as Lu Sijian was about to say something, her cell phone rang in the ward.

The group exchanged glances, and Secretary Zhou pulled out his phone. "Oh, by the way, I was just about to tell Lu Lingjun about inviting Miss Lu here..."

He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Could Lu Lingjun be calling to demand someone back?"

If Lu Lingjun insists on taking the person away, they probably won't be able to do anything about it.

This is still Yuncheng, the territory of the Lu family.
