rely regret it, Xiao Heng!"No! I will never regret it!" Xiao Heng's fist slammed into the ground, picking up shards of glass that cut into his skin, but he didn't feel the pain. All he felt was a sear...Although Jian Tong was angry, she understood one thing better—Kane was right.

She hung her head, and Cain didn't urge her.

After a long pause, she lifted her head: "I have one more request. You cannot use force to coerce me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to escape at all. Mr. Kane is very clear about this."

"Sure."

Cain agreed readily, his amber eyes flashing for a moment... Fool, not to physically restrain you is not the same as not using force.

Even in terms of speed, he was much faster than her.

Jian blinked, eyeing Kane suspiciously. Something about his eagerness to agree felt off, but after replaying their conversation in her mind, she couldn't pinpoint anything wrong.

"I'm hungry."

"Come in." Opening the dormitory door, Jian Tong went to the kitchen as usual.

Kane settled more and more comfortably into his usual spot, watching the woman in the kitchen.

As always, she brought him noodles, which he ate up.

After finishing his meal, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. His movements were so elegant. Between the two of them, there was never any communication from beginning to end. Neither spoke, but everything was surprisingly harmonious, as if these scenes had been performed countless times before.

Ke Jian Tong at this moment, his face already showed a look of alert.

She didn't speak, her eyes fixed on Kane from a distance.

Suddenly, Cain stood up and turned his head to look at the woman with a wary face: "Aren't you going to see me off"

"No, Mr. Kane closed the door when he left."

"Isn't it the nature of your line of work to welcome and send off guests Isn't sending them off a basic requirement Or does Ms. Jian think that because it's after work, I'm back in my dormitory, not at Donghuang anymore, so I'm no longer her guest"

Then I'll have to consider going to Miss Jian's workplace tomorrow to see her.

Threat again!

Wretched! Vile! Despicable!

Jane was gritting her teeth in anger. This man named Kane always managed to infuriate her, "Mr. Kane is right, I can't neglect a guest even after work hours. Mr. Kane, let me walk you out."

As Jian Tong walked forward, talking all the while, her eyes remained fixed on the man beside her, a growing sense of caution in their gaze. Who knew what was wrong with him Why did he take such pleasure in kissing other people's wounds... oh no, that wasn't quite right. What this man liked to do was salt open wounds and call it "healing"!

"Relax, Miss Jian. I promise you, I'm exhausted tonight and won't touch that scar on your forehead."

Jian Tong was half-believing, but the man earnestly said again:

"I usually keep my word, I never lied to you."

Jian Tong looked carefully at that handsome face, finding only sincerity on it, not a trace of cunning. She let out a breath, "Mr. Cain, again…" see…

Jian Tong's face changed drastically!

"You just said..."

"Didn't I just say I wouldn't touch the cut on your forehead today"

"Right!"

Jian Tong touched her forehead and glared at the person in front of her... How could this person speak such blatant lies

Agreed to her, but went back on his word

"Do you actually believe that Then you must be stupid. Why do you think I'm close to you... don't you know"

Kane said matter-of-factly, shrugging his shoulders with an expression of "You're so gullible, what can I do" helplessness.

Xiao Tong only felt an unusual itch in her palm, teeth, and even her own face. Just looking at it made her want to slap it.

"Alright," Caine suddenly said, reaching out to give Jean a light pat on the head. "It's getting late, get some sleep. See you tomorrow night."

After finishing his words, he walked away with an air of nonchalance.

Keane was inexplicably elated.

This woman... is becoming more and more like a real person.

When I first saw her, she was like a breathing corpse.

……

For the next few days, every night when Jian Tong saw that figure at her dorm door, she always felt her teeth and palms itching.

Repeated defeats, repeated victories.

In this unawareness, the wound seemed not as sensitive as it was at first.

And it seemed, when the lips of this man called Cain touched that wound, the wound was no longer as it had been before.

Pain, still.

But Jian Tong, in this pain, could already grit her teeth and accept it. Someone was sprinkling salt on her wound. She gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Kane.

"Hahaha... so silly. Miss Jian, how could you be so naive I told you, you shouldn't believe this kind of thing!"

Jian Tong panted heavily, her eyes wide and fixed on him. "You've got blood all over you! You said someone ambushed you and hurt you. You're lying here covered in blood at my dorm door. I think anyone would believe that."

"Who would curse themselves to death"

She couldn't believe that this man named Kane would put on such a grand performance just to lure her closer.

All the props are prepared so thoroughly.

"You're dumb, I can't do anything about it either." Kane patted his butt and stood up. "Where's the noodles I'm hungry."

Jian Tong stormed into the kitchen, furious. Today's scallion oil noodles had two extra spoonfuls of chili in them.

"Whew~ You're going to kill me with spice!"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Kane. I might have accidentally added the wrong seasoning just now, two spoonfuls of chili. Please forgive me."

Kane squinted at Jian Tong for a moment, then, under Jian Tong's gaze, ate the scallion oil noodles mouthful by mouthful. As he ate, he was already sweating profusely from the spiciness.

"Finished. I'm leaving." Caine stood up, tossed his bowl and chopsticks aside, and walked toward the door.

Jian Tong glanced at the empty bowl... A string in her heart skipped a beat... She had eaten it all.

"You..." Why is this so spicy She could tell he couldn't handle the spice, why was he still eating it all.

She wanted to ask, but in the end, she didn't ask anything at all.

……

With two days left until the month's end, Jian Tong put all the checks Kane had given her on Su Meng's desk.

"It's him again"

Su Meng was startled: “So many” She suddenly raised her head: “Jian Tong, what did you do”

Each one is worth 500,000, a total of five for 2.5 million. Added to the previous miscellaneous amounts, it comes to 3.5 million.

"Jian Tong, are you... that Cain Did he..."

"No, Mengjie, nothing at all." Jian Tong interrupted Su Meng: "There are still two days, Mengjie. Mr. Kain gives me five hundred thousand every day, so by then, I'll still be short of five hundred thousand. I... are there any other ways"

Sue broke out in a cold sweat. That Cain guy had given her half a million... what on earth had she done

Su Meng couldn't believe it, a bowl of scallion oil noodles for 500,000

She narrowed her eyes, sizing up Jian Tong across from her: "Little Tong, what kind of deal is there between you and him"

Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly looked up at Su Meng... Her reaction seemed to indicate that Su Meng already had a grasp of the situation... It seemed like her guess was right.

Jian Tong knew she couldn't hide it from Su Meng, so after some thought, she told Su Meng everything honestly.

But Su Meng became even more worried.

“This Kain, he’s just messing with you. In his eyes, you're like a mouse to a cat, Jian Tong. Don't you understand He does whatever he wants to tease you, and you just won't listen to me!”stubbornly clenching her lips and standing defiantly at the threshold of his study, refusing to yield. Her eyes were fixed on him with unwavering intensity.My heart was pounding so fast, it felt like...
