ed with disdain, "I heard you'd do anything for money. Strip, right here in front of me."Jian Tong's hand hanging by her side was clenched into a fist.She suddenly picked up a glass of water from the...Lu Mingchu's face was very sullen.

He regretted it.

That day, if I hadn't placed that damn bet and hadn't gone to that bar!

He wouldn't leak her messages.

As the message spread, even though Lu Mingchu was far away in Yunnan, communication was already highly developed in this era. A single piece of news could travel on the wind and cover the entire continent.

The assistant behind him, gritting his teeth, stood behind him.

Lu Ming clutched his phone, wishing he could tear apart the person who first spread this news through it.

Sent a message to his best friend: "Help me check, Shen's schedule."

He had a bad feeling about this.

As expected!

"Currently, the Shen Corporation is being run by Bai Yu Xing. Shen Xiu Jin is most likely not in S city at the moment."

Boom!

Lu Ming's fist, which he had been clenching tightly, smashed straight into the glass coffee table.

At once, the tea table shattered into shards of glass.

"Mr. Lu, your hand is bleeding."

The assistant behind should dial “120”.

"Get out!" the man growled. "Scram!"

If he had known it would be like this, he absolutely wouldn't have gone onto that stage. Even if he lost the bet, even if she really kicked him out, even if... he stayed far away from her, it would be better than letting her surface again, under everyone's eyes!

Lu Mingchu hated most about himself was that he knew very well that the life she lived was peaceful and calm, but this peacefulness was about to be disturbed!

He went downstairs and, without even needing to think, he knew that woman must be on that bamboo matting lounger, lying back in the sun.

The sky was azure, the water was sapphire blue, the air filled with floral scents and bird songs. Sipping tea under the sun... that scene seemed frozen in time, more beautiful than any painting he had ever seen. It was serene and peaceful.

But, that's gone now!

"Boss."

Lu Ming walked over at first.

The woman ignored him.

If he didn't understand that night, then think a few more days, look a few more days, there will always be a time to understand and figure it out.

"Boss!"

Lu Ming's tone grew heavier.

The woman pretended not to hear, closing her eyes and feigning sleep.

The man stood behind her, giving a wry smile... Doesn't love mean not giving hope

"You are a ruthless woman, indeed."

Even if he stood before her, even if he were outstanding enough that an ordinary woman wouldn't fall for him, at least she wouldn't be so resolutely indifferent to him.

At least some women will have a soft heart.

But, she won't.

"Should I hate you, or should I thank you"

If you don't love, don't respond.

His rationality told him this was the greatest tenderness towards the person he loved first.

He was very clear about his own excellence, very clear about how his outstanding appearance and physique added points to him. He also knew very well that his status and money could entice many women to scream for him.

Because he was aware of his own handsomeness and wealth, he knew how useful he would be to women.

And this woman, however, acted with such rationality—if she didn't love someone, she wouldn't respond at all.

It is precisely because of her actions and choices that her honesty shines even brighter among a group of women who, even if they don't love him, remain connected to him out of infatuation with his looks and wealth. This candidness is truly invaluable.

She too, is invaluable, and increasingly alluring.

Such a woman... Why did Shen Xiujin meet her first

Why!

The woman didn't look at him. Lu Mingchu walked forward and stood in front of the woman: "Boss, I'll take you away!"

He had almost made up his mind: “I’ll take you to a place where no one will ever recognize you! Come with me!”

The tranquility on her face, he wanted to protect it, not wanting anyone or anything to disturb her peaceful life.

The woman seemed to hear something strange: "Mr. Lu, are you talking nonsense"

Looking at her, Lu Mingchu couldn't bring himself to speak. Her whereabouts had been discovered, and he couldn't cruelly tell her that her peaceful life was about to end.

"Boss, I'm sincere. I want to take you away." Lu Mingchu said, "To Provence, to Versailles, to Venice, anywhere. To a place where no one knows you anymore. I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

The woman glanced at Lu Mingchu, then suddenly pulled open the blanket on her body, stood up, and slowly walked towards the hall:

"Zhaozhao, please bring the medicine box and help Mr. Lu bandage his hand. I'm a little tired, so I'll go upstairs to sleep first."

Behind him, Lu Ming clenched his fist tightly, the wound on his hand bleeding non-stop.

"Jian Tong!"

He finally, could not hold back. At the moment when the woman was about to step onto the stairs, he shouted her name aloud.ant legs and taking off her shoes. There wasn't a trace of a girl's reserved and gentle demeanor. She was lying sprawled on the lawn.Thinking this way, the memory became incredibly vivid. He was fille...
