Before they could even negotiate, Wen Lu was grabbed by the waist by Wang Jinyu and pulled back into his arms.

Wang Jinyu leaned close to Wen Lu's ear and whispered a question.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, then go to sleep, otherwise I might not be able to hold on any longer."

Something restless in Wang Jinyu's heart began to stir. He was able to restrain himself entirely because he was timid and afraid of hurting Wen Lu.

He had absolutely no self-control in front of Wen Lu. Just as Ling He said, he might be a beast, completely unable to resist Wen Lu's temptation.

Looking at Wang Jinyu's slightly red eyes, Wen Lu quickly reached out and turned off the wall lamp, pulled over the blanket next to her, covered the two of them, deliberately created some distance between herself and Wang Jinyu, and obediently closed her eyes.

Sensing Wen Lu's little scheme, Wang Jinyu gave her no chance to escape. He put his arm around Wen Lu's waist and pulled her directly into his arms, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Wang Jinyu's actions at this moment made Wen Lu gasp. She looked into Wang Jinyu's eyes and even slowed her breathing, afraid that she would arouse Wang Jinyu's lust and make him lose control.

Wen Lu didn't know when she fell asleep. She only knew that when she opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day, and Wang Jinyu was no longer in the bedroom.

Wen Lu got out of bed, went into the bathroom to wash up, and then went into the dressing room to change into a set of loungewear before leaving the bedroom.

As soon as Wen Lu stepped out of the bedroom, she saw three people sitting on the sofa. Yan Nuo and Yan Luo were both glaring fiercely at Wang Jinyu.

Wang Jinyu, meanwhile, sat comfortably on the sofa looking at his tablet until he heard the door open, at which point he turned to look in Wen Lu's direction.

Seeing Wen Lu come out of the room, Wang Jinyu put down his tablet, stood up, walked to Wen Lu's side, looked down at her beautiful face without makeup, and said softly.

"The housekeeper just said that lunch will be ready by 11:30. We still have twenty minutes. Would you like a glass of milk first?"

Wen Lu looked at the two people whose eyes were fixed on Wang Jinyu. She smiled gently and did not answer Wang Jinyu's question. Instead, she pointed with her chin in their direction and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone.

"What's wrong with these two? Why do they both look like they want to eat you alive?"

"They... do indeed want to devour me. They can't accept me being with you, especially Yan Nuo. He's been bothering me all morning and even called his third brother over. They think I'm afraid of the two of them."

At this point, Wang Jinyu gave a cold glance to the two men who were staring at him at the same time. When they met Wang Jinyu's cold gaze, the two men looked away involuntarily. Their fear of Wang Jinyu was ingrained in their bones.

Looking at the two spineless men, Wen Lu couldn't help but chuckle. She took Wang Jinyu's hand, walked to the sofa, sat down, picked up the ginseng fruit on the table, took a bite, and said in a light tone.

“I was with him before I met you, and I know that you are very likely to be my family, but that doesn’t change the relationship between us. So I hope that you will accept our relationship so as not to affect our feelings for each other.”

"Otherwise... I can't do anything if he threatens you, Yan Luo, what do you think? If I'm not mistaken, the reason you were able to become the school doctor is because of him, right?"

“That’s different, Wen Lu. You weren’t my sister before. I could watch him do anything to you. Even though I secretly called him a beast, it didn’t affect our relationship.”

“But things are different now. You are our sister, and we have the responsibility and obligation to protect you, so... so I hope you can understand our good intentions.”

Seeing Wen Lu's dependence on Wang Jinyu, Yan Luo felt that Wang Jinyu must have bewitched Wen Lu, which was why Wen Lu listened to him and depended on him. He wanted to stop this behavior in time.

He knew how dangerous Wang Jinyu was, and that a delicate girl like Wen Lu was simply not suitable to live by Wang Jinyu's side; it was far too dangerous.

After listening to Yan Luo's words, Wen Lu turned to look at Wang Jinyu and smiled gently, "Mr. Wang, it's better to be rid of this kind of brother..."

Wen Lu was a little angry at this moment. She could accept that they were worried about her and wanted to protect her, so they might do extreme things, but she was still a little unhappy that Wang Jinyu said this.

She hoped that everyone around Wang Jinyu would be loyal to him. Although she knew that her demands might be too harsh for some people, she had experienced betrayal and could not accept that Wang Jinyu had such disloyal people around him.

Yan Luo never expected that her words, spoken out of concern, would anger Wen Lu. He was only acting as an older brother to protect his younger sister. Was that wrong?

“Wen Lu, that’s not what I meant... I just think you’re too young, and you don’t know Wang Jinyu well. I’m worried that it might be dangerous for you to be with him.”

Seeing that Wen Lu was angry, Yan Luo hurriedly tried to explain, but in the end, he also felt that he might have done something wrong. Wang Jinyu was his brother, and he should not speak ill of Wang Jinyu no matter what. This was no different from stabbing someone in the back.

"Fourth Master, you should understand what I mean, right? I'm just worried about her... I didn't say anything bad about you..."

When Yan Luo suddenly changed the subject, Wang Jinyu raised an eyebrow. He and Yan Luo had been brothers for so many years, and he knew Yan Luo very well. In fact, he was also a little surprised by Wen Lu's overreaction.

Wang Jinyu held Wen Lu's hand and gently comforted her, "He's just worried and confused. He doesn't really have any bad intentions. It's just that he knows me too well, so he's worried about you. Don't be angry."

Looking at Wen Lu's furrowed brows, Wang Jinyu felt a pang of heartache, but at the same time, he was also happy to see Wen Lu protecting him. His feelings were somewhat conflicted.

When Wen Lu heard Wang Jinyu defend Yan Luo, she knew he was paving the way for her. Wen Lu glanced at Wang Jinyu indifferently, nodded slightly, then looked up at Yan Luo and spoke earnestly.

“I knew what kind of person he was before I met you, and I’m not a good person either, so you don’t need to worry about me at all.”

"I'm hungry. I'll go find something to eat first. Uncle Sun, do you have any snacks? I want to eat strawberry cake."

With that, Wen Lu walked outside, leaving the remaining three men alone.
