Unexpectedly, the two bodyguards at the door were already on high alert.

They blocked her way.

At that very moment,

Jin Zhuoer strolled over slowly, a cigar in his hand, gently exhaling a ring of smoke.

His leisurely demeanor only fueled Chu Wuyang's growing irritation.

"Miss Chu, where are you headed?"

Jin Zhuoer looked at her, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Chu Wuyang coldly met his gaze, her eyes icy, her face filled with suppressed anger.

But they remained silent.

Jin Zhuoer, however, didn't care at all.

Her silence didn't seem to bother him; instead, he smiled and said...

"Oh, you're looking for my nephew, aren't you?"

He sighed softly.

It seemed as if they felt helpless about her choice.

"Sigh, don't bother trying to make people dislike you."

"So many eyes were watching yesterday,"

"They begged you so much, and you remained unmoved."

"Now it's all in the past? What's the point?"

Chu Wuyang couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath, his tone increasingly disdainful.

Jin Zhuoer smiled, completely unconcerned, and continued...

"You're in this together with us now, it's not so easy for you to leave."

A hint of despair flashed in Chu Wuyang's eyes, her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to retort.

But I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"yes,"

Her voice became a little hoarse.

"I betrayed Jingmin."

“He must hate me to the core right now. If he gets better, he definitely won’t let me go.”

"What good will it do you to detain me?"

"If you're trying to threaten Jingmin, you're sorely mistaken."

Jin Zhuoer smiled dismissively and patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder.

That's why I won't let you leave.

He turned his head and looked at Zhou Heng.

"Our young master Zhou is truly devoted to Miss Chu,"

"You saw it yesterday too; in order to stall for time and please you, she didn't hesitate to hinder me,"

"Shouldn't Miss Xin Chu repay this kindness in some way?"
