On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

Si Qing's deep eyes narrowed, and he curled his lips into a half-smile, looking extremely arrogant and cool.

For some reason, this reminded Yu Jinzhao of the currently popular internet memes—

You little brat, I'll make you obsessed!

He looks like he deserves a beating.

Yu Jinzhao gritted her teeth. Things were different now. Even if she wanted to beat him up again, she couldn't. Instead, she had to try her best to please this man. So she looked him in the eye sincerely and said honestly...

"Quite good looking."

The carriage was quiet for two or three seconds. Si Qing adjusted his posture, crossed his legs, and glanced at Yu Jinzhao with a calm and composed expression.

His gaze was blatantly arrogant, filled with open scrutiny. He placed his left hand on the prayer beads on his right wrist, tapped them lightly twice, and then spoke in a low, slow voice, "Have you forgotten what I told you this morning?"

Yu Jinzhao, “?”

“I know I’m good-looking,” Si Qing’s peach blossom eyes casually twitched upwards, his Adam’s apple bobbed slowly, and he gave a meaningful sneer, “but you should stop looking at me like that.”

Yu Jinzhao's bewildered gaze fell on the lingering teeth mark on his collarbone mole, and she fell into a heart-wrenching silence, "..."

Fragmented images she was trying to forget flooded her mind, causing her to catch her breath. Feeling that her upright reputation had been wronged, she decided to stand up for herself, "What kind of look am I giving you?"

Looking at her reserved and serious expression, Si Qing suddenly leaned forward, trapping her between his chest and looking down at her with sharp eyes, as if trying to see right through her.

His presence was overwhelming, making him difficult to handle in the confined space of the train car.

Now that we're so close, the feeling of oppression is even greater.

Yu Jinzhao's whole body was stiff as a stone. She felt uncomfortable and wanted to distance herself from him, but she had been forced to the car door and had nowhere to retreat.

She instinctively gripped the wooden box in her arms, leaned back, and dared not breathe too hard as she opened her mouth to say something.

Si Qing raised his hand and hooked her chin, slowly moving it upwards until it landed playfully on the corner of her eye, gently brushing it against her eye. "...You look like you've been bewitched by me."

You've misunderstood—

"The way you're looking at me is making me misunderstand." Si Qing moved closer, his eyes and demeanor filled with aggression.

Yu Jinzhao leaned back as far as he could, his back taut like a drawn bowstring. Listening to Si Qing's meaningful words, his mind was a jumbled mess, and he wondered if he really had designs on him.

He looked at her, paused for a moment with an inscrutable expression, then parted his thin lips and said casually, "You misunderstood that you were upset that I made you work for nothing last night, and that you wanted to fulfill your marital obligations with me."

Yu Jinzhao felt a chill run down his spine and widened his eyes in a somewhat absurd manner.

What did she do last night that went against the ancestors' wishes, causing this man to have such a deep misconception?

After a moment of silence, she was too embarrassed to ask, so she changed the subject in a low voice, "By the way, I was at home just now, thank you for helping me."

Although she is now certain that Si Qing is not backing her up, but rather doing it for the sake of the Si family's reputation, she is ultimately the beneficiary, and this thank you is something she must say.

Si Qing sat back down, the oppressive feeling dissipated, and Yu Jinzhao took the opportunity to breathe deeply.

The man continued twirling the cigarette between his fingers, while raising his other hand to loosen the collar button around his neck and pull it down.

He didn't even glance at Yu Jinzhao out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly let out a short laugh.

Yu Jinzhao felt uncomfortable after hearing his laughter. "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at your lack of ambition, but I didn't do it for you." Si Qing tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and his arrogant tone seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

"What are you so happy about?"

Yu Jinzhao, "..."

This situation reminded her of that Chinese proverb: "When mud falls into your pants, even if it's not shit, it's still shit."

But thinking about it carefully, since I offended him first, it's no wonder he's so sensitive and suspicious.

She had already offended him enough, and she wanted to avoid giving him the impression that she had ulterior motives. Taking advantage of the relatively harmonious atmosphere, she earnestly reaffirmed her position.

"I was drunk last night, and I don't remember what I said or did. If I offended you in any way, just assume I was crazy."

"Then your madness is quite purposeful," the man interrupted her. "It's about unbuckling your belt and fantasizing that I've tormented you to no end."

Si Qing's gaze turned cold as he stared at Yu Jinzhao's submissive appearance, finding it unsettling no matter how he looked at her.

In the past, she always spoke to him like a proud white swan, fearless and arrogant. No matter how arrogant he was, she was even more arrogant than him.

The Yu Jinzhao of today is a completely different person compared to three years ago.

Her lack of temper in front of him made him feel extremely hypocritical, and he wanted to tear off her mask.

Si Qing's tone was sarcastic and sharp.

Okay, she's overthinking it. He's clearly still holding a grudge about their past grievances!

In the past, Yu Jinzhao would have argued with him to the death on the spot.

But now, she still has to stay alive to resolve her family's problems and save her grandmother; she can't act as recklessly as before.

At that moment, the car, which had been moving smoothly forward, suddenly made a sharp turn.

Yu Jinzhao leaned towards Si Qing, and her phone slipped out of her pocket and fell onto Si Qing's lap.

Si Qing paused, picked up his phone, and just then, the phone vibrated. He glanced at it subconsciously.

A WeChat message popped up on the screen; it was from Song Jingshu.

[Hey sis, how did your conversation with that top guy go? If you didn't like him, I have someone recommending a top-notch gigolo. Everyone says he's handsome and skilled in bed, and can satisfy your needs that Si Ye can't. Want to give him a try?]

Yu Jinzhao, "..."

She glanced at Si Qing, who looked away, tilted his head and sneered, pressing his tongue against his back teeth before coldly tossing his phone onto Yu Jinzhao's lap.

A strange, oppressive chill permeated the enclosed train carriage.

Yu Jinzhao then said, "You can rest assured, Master Si. I know I'm not worthy of having designs on you. Even if I wanted to fulfill my marital obligations with you, I would find someone else..."

Yu Jinzhao knew that Si Qing disliked her, and that her actions last night and into this morning had caused him to misunderstand and feel offended by her... So, she was now promising him that she would never covet him, which would surely make him happy, right?

However, when she looked at Si Qing expectantly, expecting to see a happy expression on his face, the man's expression turned cold in an instant, like a frozen glacier.

Yu Jinzhao was stunned. What was wrong with him? Was he constipated?

At the same time, the car stopped, and Yin Zhuo got out to open the car door for Si Qing, respectfully saying, "Master Si, we've arrived at the interrogation room."

Si Qing got out of the car with a gloomy face. His dark and violent aura was like wildfire raging across the plains, which was terrifying. Yin Zhuo was so shocked that he almost knelt down before him.

In the short time it took to drive, Mr. Si and his wife had a fight?

Even sitting in the car, Yu Jinzhao could feel a chilling danger emanating from the air and penetrating her entire body, as if she were weighed down by lead. She hesitated, unsure whether she should get out.

Si Qing stood outside the car door with his long legs stretched out, looking unruly. When he looked down, his bangs cast shadows on his eyes, making his features appear even more deep.

He raised his leg and kicked the car door, his voice filled with malice. "Get out."

Yu Jinzhao calmly got out of the car, carrying the wooden box.

She looked up at Si Qing, her bright, black and white fox-like eyes wide open, her expression unchanged, concealing the speechlessness in her heart.

She didn't understand. She was just saying what Si Qing wanted to say, so why did he suddenly go crazy again?

Si Qing stared at her menacingly for a few seconds, then turned and strode toward the interrogation room ahead.

Yin Zhuo lowered his head meekly and raised his hand to Yu Jinzhao, "Madam, please."

Does this mean she should follow?

Yu Jinzhao pursed her lips, not understanding what Si Qing wanted to do, so she could only follow him one step at a time.

In fact, she had no idea what she had done to offend Si Qing. This man was so unpredictable, like a bipolar patient with volatile emotions, and could turn on her at any moment if she disagreed with him.

Just like the years he served as her bodyguard, their relationship was so good until three years ago, on the eve of her departure abroad, when his temperament suddenly changed drastically, becoming completely unpredictable.

Perhaps he had disliked her for a long time? Apart from the first year he came to the Yu family and his confrontation with her, the kindness he showed her in the following two years was all an act, which is why she couldn't bear it anymore and went crazy with her on the day he left?
