Chu Yunmu greeted the butler and drove off. Gaining Zhou Sijue's trust couldn't be achieved by simply taking a slow, insidious approach; he needed a more drastic measure.

After finishing a day's work, Zhou Sijue stretched. There was a lot of stuff piled up, but thankfully it was all done. She could rest for the next few days and spend time with Chu Yunmu.

"Oh~ President Zhou has finally deigned to meet me?" A flirtatious voice came through the communicator, and Zhou Sijue frowned.

"You know I'm busy, yet you still bother me?"

"Proper relaxation is good for physical and mental health, and it can prolong life, you know?" The man took a sip of his drink. "Going out to play? Tonight, the third brother is hosting a party, all beautiful Omegas."

"I'm not coming, something's come up."

Zhou Sijue shook her head, picked up her coat, and slung it over her shoulder.

"Oh, so the prodigal son is really planning to turn over a new leaf?" The man took a drag of his cigarette and said with a smirk, "Looks like your little darling wife in her golden cage is quite capable~"

"Don't even think about him, I'm planning to marry him."

Zhou Sijue's face was gloomy. He naturally knew what these people were thinking. In this circle, it was common for friends to exchange partners.

But Chu Yunmu was different from those people. He would never allow anyone to have a chance to get close to him. He was on tenterhooks all afternoon when Lin Chen spent the afternoon alone with Chu Yunmu, so he sent Lin Chen away early.

"Hey, come quick, come listen, we're going to have a sister-in-law soon!" The man waved, and a group of people gathered around, joking around.

"I'd like to request the best man number one position!"

"Approved." Zhou Sijue smiled. "I'm going home now, I won't talk to you anymore."

"Hey, brother, you're not being fair. You've got a wife and you've forgotten your brothers."

“Give me your name and put it on my tab.”

"Brother, you're so generous! We're leaving now, so we won't disturb your date with your wife."

After saying that, Zhou Sijue hung up the communicator and walked out of the office with a beaming smile, humming a song all the way home.

Back home, Zhou Sijue subconsciously looked around but couldn't find Chu Yunmu. The butler's expression was not good, and he led him to the study.

"Madam threw this into the bathtub today." The butler, wearing insulated gloves, took out the ankle chain. "The voltage was too high; the cleaning maid was seriously injured."

"Sent to the hospital?" Zhou Sijue frowned, holding the anklet in her hand, still somewhat frightened. "Is she dead?"

"They found it in time; it was just shock, but they've been resuscitated." The butler took a step back and tentatively asked, "This thing is too dangerous, perhaps we should..."

"You don't need to worry about it, I'll take care of it." Zhou Sijue waved her hand. "We should negotiate with the injured party properly, make compensation where necessary, and apologize where appropriate."

"Madam went out this afternoon and hasn't returned yet..."

"I understand, you can leave now."

Zhou Sijue waved his hand irritably. Wasn't psychological suggestion enough? Why couldn't he let go of the idea of ​​running away?

Why? Was I not good enough to him? Why does he always want to run away?

Sensing the temperature in the study had dropped to freezing, the butler wisely left quickly. Oh well, he was about to throw another tantrum.

Sure enough, a clattering sound came from the study. The butler picked at his ears, thinking it best for Chu Yunmu not to come back tonight.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Not long after Zhou Sijue finished smashing things, Chu Yunmu returned. Upon hearing that Zhou Sijue hadn't eaten and had locked himself in his study, Chu Yunmu frowned, handed the things in his hand to the butler, and walked to the study door.

"Zhou Sijue, are you inside?"

Just as Chu Yunmu was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened, and a powerful force pulled him inside by his wrist.

"Zhou Sijue, what are you doing? Let me go!" Chu Yunmu cried out in surprise, raising her foot to kick Zhou Sijue, but he restrained her.

"Wasn't I good enough to you? Why did you leave?" Zhou Sijue kissed Chu Yunmu frantically against the door, muttering, "Tell me, why did you leave?"

"Let me explain, I didn't... Ah!"

Chu Yunmu pushed Zhou Sijue with all his might, but unexpectedly, Zhou Sijue released his pheromones to suppress him. Under the powerful pressure, Chu Yunmu was forced to accept Zhou Sijue.

"Zhou Sijue, are you crazy! This is the study!"

"This is my home! I can do whatever I want, and go wherever I want..."

Zhou Sijue pinched Chu Yunmu's chin, staring fiercely into his eyes, "Chu Yunmu, you will never leave me in this lifetime!"

The noise gradually subsided, turning into low sobs. The butler, who was holding something outside the door, stood for a while, shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave.

After so much psychological suggestion, Chu Yunmu's impression of Zhou Sijue has changed slightly. If the gentleman does this tonight, won't he be back to square one?

Chu Yunmu was a proud man and would never easily accept being pinned down by someone else, let alone being bound and imprisoned like Zhou Sijue did. To him, it was worse than being killed.

He couldn't resist, so he could only escape. He wanted to leave this place, but he didn't know where to go.

Home should be his eternal safe haven. Even if his father is disappointed in him, he should never give up on him.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Sijue turned Chu Yunmu's face and kissed his dazed eyes. "Yunmu, look at me and concentrate."

“Zhou…Zhou Sijue, please stop…” Chu Yunmu said softly, her eyes blurry with tears, “It hurts…”

“You won’t learn your lesson unless I treat you well.” Zhou Sijue stared into Chu Yunmu’s eyes and slowly said, “Yunmu, I’m the only one in this world who’s good to you. Everyone else who approaches you has an ulterior motive…”

"Remember? Only I am truly sincere towards you..."

Chu Yunmu nodded blankly, repeating Zhou Sijue's words in a murmur.
