nOne night, Xia Ruoxin sat as she reached out to touch Chu Lui’s forehead. He had been very busy lately, working till late at night every day and getting up before dawn to go to work. At times, he did not even have the time to eat.

nIn what way could she help him?

n“Yes, how can I help you?”

n“You really wish to help me?” Chu Lui opened his profound eyes abruptly and held her hand. His grip was so strong that she could feel the pain in her wrists. However, she did not retract her hands.

n“Mmm.” Xia Ruoxin nodded. “I will do anything as long as I can help.”

n“Very well. You said it.” Chu Lui suddenly pinned her body beneath his, and he let his madness and lust control their needs.

n…

nXia Ruoxin leaned on Chu Lui’s chest. She did not know why he was behaving strangely. As if he was trying to release some pent-up energy. He had her in pain.

nHe had not treated her with such violence for a long time.

n“I’m sorry, I hurt you.” Chu Lui hugged her closer. She could not see his expression in the dark, only his overly bright eyes. They looked detached.

n“No. It’s not painful. I can do it if that’s what you want.” Xia Ruoxin moved closer to him and circled her arms around his waist. She would accept everything about him, regardless of whether he was gentle or violent.

n“Silly.” Chu Lui put his hand on her small face, taking in the feel of her soft and smooth skin.

n“Ruoxin, there has been a big problem with the company’s finances. Are you really willing to help me?” He lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead. Xia Ruoxin could not help but feel tense.

nNo wonder he had been so busy. There was an issue with the company. She was clueless, and she continued to enjoy everything he was giving her. He must have been very pressured. She could not imagine how he must have been feeling.

n“Are you willing to do it?” Chu Lui asked again.

n“Yes, I am. Although I’m not sure how I can help. As long as I can do it, I will do anything.” She nodded and replied without hesitation. It was as Chu Lui had said—silly.

nChu Lui smiled. “Good girl…” He coaxed her like a child. A distracted man in the dark while a look of ruthlessness showed on his face.

n…

nXia Ruoxin was helpless as she looked around her in the quiet room. It was a suite in a five-star hotel. It was not a presidential suite, but no ordinary people could have afforded this. Why had he brought her here?

n“Ah Lui, what are we doing here?” She looked up. Anxiousness showed in her eyes and instinctively; she felt afraid.

nChu Lui looked back and rested his hand on her face. He saw her fear but had chosen to ignore it.

n“You will know soon.” His expression turned aloof, and Xia Ruoxin shuddered.

nChu Lui’s hand curved his arm and reached out. Finally, he ran it down her hair and landed on her face as if he was reluctant. He had to go. “I have to go out for a while. You stay here. Don’t leave.” His voice sounded vaguely detached. Xia Ruoxin could not hold on or get close to him.

nShe nodded and forced a smile. Her body was shaking. She could feel the danger instinctively, and it scared her. However, she still believed in Chu Lui as she sat quietly and uneasily on the huge bed which could fit several people.
