A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

Ji Chen "..."

He was still somewhat unwilling to give up, so he took out his phone again to call Xu Shuli, but he couldn't get through, perhaps because she had blocked his number.

On the other side of the car, Luo Yunqi looked at the constantly flashing phone screen. He calmly hung up the call, added it to the blacklist, and then deleted the call history, all in a smooth and effortless manner.

The person next to him quietly closed their eyes, completely unaware.

"Fang Ming, drive slower and more steadily."

"Yes."

Yao Yao, you are the treasure I finally found again. No matter what happens in this life, I will never let you suffer even the slightest harm again.

Luo Yunqi carefully touched her fingertips.

Upon arriving at Mingyue Xiaozhu, the design of one apartment per floor ensures a high level of privacy and security. The lobby's floor-to-ceiling glass and huge crystal chandelier sparkle with light, giving one an extraordinary sense of luxury and opulence from the moment one enters.

This is Fang Ming's third time visiting Mingyue Xiaozhu. Each visit is a chance to fall in love, and each time he falls in love, he regrets that he hasn't saved enough money yet.

"CEO, the more I look at this place, the more I like it."

"Do you need me to buy one for you?"

She was feigning sleep. The moment the car stopped, she opened her eyes almost immediately. There was no trace of the drowsy confusion of someone who had just woken up. Her eyes were bright and clear, as if nothing had happened.

"Really? Didn't they say Mingyue Xiaozhu is already sold out? Each of those costs at least several hundred million. CEO, are you being really that nice to me?"

Fang Ming was almost moved to tears when Xu Shuli, who was standing next to him, added a comment.

"Don't listen to his empty promises. If I'm not mistaken, Mingyue Xiaozhu has already stopped selling. Even when Brother Lin Ran tried to buy it, he was told that there were no more floors available."

Fang Ming "..."

I knew their CEO was just joking.

"My little sister understands me the most."

"..."

It's unbearable to look at, absolutely unbearable to look at!!

Once upstairs, the smart robot at the entrance automatically performed facial recognition the moment they approached.

"Welcome home master."

The interior design is also very luxurious and grand, with a huge crystal chandelier that is dazzling and countless rare treasures. Every inch of the space exudes a strong atmosphere of wealth.

The paintings on the walls are full of artistry, and the carpet underfoot is soft. This precious space is arranged so simply that it seems a bit wasteful.

Fang Ming only dared to complain in his heart. Seeing that the two of them had nothing else to say, he took the opportunity to touch the sofa again. A sofa would cost him several months' salary, and Fang Ming's heart was bleeding.

"CEO, Ms. Xu, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to the company now. There are still some matters to attend to."

"Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Fang."

Xu Shuli nodded politely, and Fang Ming waved his hand, saying that it was something he should do. After he left, Luo Yunqi took the initiative to step forward and gently hold her hand.

Xu Shuli was startled, looked up at him, and did not move.

"Yaoyao, what I'm about to say might shock you and scare you, but I have to tell you because we both have things to do and can't be by each other's side all the time. I need to tell you everything so you'll be alert."

She moved her lips, about to speak, when she met his clear, watery eyes. He had a pair of naturally affectionate peach blossom eyes, the subtle light reflecting outwards, giving the impression of exceptional focus.

She wanted to ask him what he wanted to say, but he immediately sat down on the sofa and pulled her hand down with a forceful motion.

The two faced each other, resting their heads on the sofa.

Xu Shuli "..."

Why did she think this pose was a bit silly?

"Yaoyao... I told you, during my three years in the US, in the second year I investigated and found the headquarters of the organization behind them. I even got involved myself, and as a result, I lost several brothers and ended up lying in the hospital for more than half a year."

Xu Shuli's heart tightened, her brows furrowed with worry, and her eyes filled with tears. She remained silent and continued to listen to him.

Luo Yunqi raised his hand and gently rubbed her cheek, somewhat content. "I'm telling you this not to gain your sympathy, but because I've clearly felt these past few days that someone is targeting our Luo family. Yaoyao, there was another one who escaped the net back then, that person's younger brother."

“He was only 15 years old at the time, in junior high school. By the time our people found him, he had already run away. We asked all his teachers and classmates, and even checked all the school's surveillance footage, but we couldn't find a single trace of him. He had carefully and meticulously erased everything. We haven't been able to find any trace of him in the past three years. I suspect he has changed his name and identity…”

Not a trace? Not even their teachers and classmates could produce a single photo of him? It seems this person had made all the preparations long ago.

His gaze lingered on her, quiet yet brimming with boundless power. "Lately, the group's projects have been constantly being snatched away behind our backs. I even suspect that person has returned. Yao Yao, I'm not afraid of anything, except that he might target you."

"Yaoyao".

Luo Yunqi clenched his fist a few more times. "I had no choice but to leave back then, and now that I'm back, I wouldn't dare let you suffer even the slightest danger. But you have things you have to do, and I have responsibilities I should fulfill. We can't be by each other's side all the time, so I'm telling you this in the hope that you can be more careful."

The overhead light emitted a soft glow, and his walls were covered with his old practice paintings, including a framed picture of her from behind.

She never questioned Luo Yunqi's feelings for her, because she could see and feel them. She just sometimes questioned some of his actions, always feeling that the young master who grew up in a pampered environment was too naive. She wanted him to grow up and become someone she could rely on.

But Xu Shuli now feels that Luo Yunqi has succeeded. After those three years, he has become more composed and wiser.

Xu Shuli stared straight at him, then suddenly laughed, "Yunqi, I'm glad you told me this. It makes me feel that you're more mature than before. I don't need those self-righteous attempts to be nice to me. I have enough ability and the capacity to protect myself."

“Our Xu family is not just a family with a plaque that simply hangs up. The title of ‘Miss Xu’ is not given for nothing.”

Luo Yunqi's expression froze for a moment, then he instantly relaxed, a gentle smile appearing on his lips. He took Xu Shuli's hand, placed it to his lips, and gently kissed it. "Yaoyao, how can you be so good to me..."

"It's not that I'm so good, it's that you've really matured a lot. If it were you three years ago, you would definitely take on everything yourself and exclude me from all your plans. You would think that those things would affect me and hurt me, so you thought you were doing it for my own good, but you were just pushing me out of that dangerous circle."

Luo Yunqi remained silent; this was indeed something he would have done in the past.

“But you’re different now. You’ll take the initiative to explain this to me, and even tell me that the other party might target me.”

His hand tightened. "Yaoyao, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest."

“It’s impossible to guard against everything, don’t you understand?” Xu Shuli patted the back of his hand. “You don’t need to worry about me. Now that you’ve told me about this sign, I will give every person and every matter a serious consideration.”

Xu Shuli looked at him and smiled, "The other party is no ordinary person, so am I an ordinary person?"
