Upon hearing the other person's name, Yun Suiwan frowned; she had never heard of him.

"I'm sorry, I don't know him. You've probably got the wrong person."

Yun Suiwan's tone remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's alright, you'll get to know me when you meet me. Miss Yun, please."

Yun Suiwan gripped her bag tightly, countless ways to escape flashing through her mind.

But in the face of absolute power, all efforts are in vain.

"Late in the year!"

Just then, Lu Dongjue strode over from a distance.

When the two men heard that someone was coming, they didn't argue any further, got into their car, and drove away.

By the time Lu Dongjue returned, they had already fled.

"Yun Suiwan, who are you talking to?"

When Yun Suiwan saw Lu Dongjue, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then her legs went weak.

"Hello!"

Lu Dongjue reacted quickly and caught her in his arms.

Yun Suiwan leaned weakly against him, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Dongjue noticed her unusual behavior and held her tightly in his arms.

"What's wrong?"

"If... if you hadn't shown up, I'm afraid I would have been in danger."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue frowned instantly.

He didn't ask anything more, but instead picked Yun Suiwan up in his arms.

Yun Suiwan huddled in his arms, trembling like a frightened fawn.

Lu Dongjue placed her in the passenger seat and was about to close the door.

Yun Suiwan grabbed his hand, a hint of fear on her face.

Lu Dongjue placed his large hand behind her head and kissed her forehead. "I'm here. I'll take you away from here, okay?"

Yun Suiwan pursed her lips tightly and nodded.

Lu Dongjue gently patted her back.

He closed the door, got into the car, and started the engine.

Yun Suiwan gripped the seatbelt tightly, still shaken.

Lu Dongjue played some soothing music in the car, and after a while, Yun Suiwan finally calmed down.

"Yan Zhaolong, do you know this person?" Yun Suiwan asked after composing herself.

Upon hearing this, Lu Dongjue gripped the steering wheel tighter.

"Was that Yan Zhaolong just now?"

"No, it was his subordinate. He said Yan Zhaolong wants to see me."

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and decided to take action. After Jiang Sisi was discharged from the hospital, she suffered at the hands of Yun Wanqing, and she certainly wouldn't let the Yun sisters off easily.

“Yan Zhaolong is after me.” After a moment, Lu Dongjue finally spoke.

Perhaps there are some things he should tell Yun Suiwan, giving her the freedom to choose.

If you distance yourself from her in order to protect her, you will hurt her feelings.

This is harm done under the guise of false protection.

Although Yan Zhaolong is cunning and treacherous, he is not invincible.

Whether Yun Suiwan was willing to take this risk with him was a question he decided to leave to her.

"Yun Suiwan, if I told you that being with me would put your life in danger, would you still stay with me?" Lu Dongjue's tone was slightly heavy.

Yun Suiwan looked at him, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

“Yan Zhaolong is my mortal enemy. He was the one who caused my car accident abroad years ago.”

Why wasn't he arrested?

"Hmm?" Lu Dongjue looked at her in confusion. Shouldn't she be scared at this moment?

"This is premeditated murder, why don't you arrest him?" Yun Suiwan's tone was filled with anger. In broad daylight, he actually dared to harm someone, he was truly audacious!

“Because it happened overseas, and there’s no substantial evidence. Let’s get back to the main point,” Lu Dongjue continued. “Yan Zhaolong is back now, and to get revenge on me, he’ll do everything he can to hurt the people around me. Are you afraid?”

Yun Suiwan was quite frightened by what had just happened.

But after hearing what Lu Dongjue said, Yun Suiwan was no longer afraid.

Justice fears evil? That's a complete joke.

"Of course I'm scared. I'm just an ordinary person. I've never encountered anything like this before. But this isn't something that will disappear just because you're scared," Yun Suiwan said.

"You'll be safe if you separate from me."

Lu Dongjue's feelings were complicated when he said this.

On the one hand, he was worried about Yun Suiwan's safety, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Yun Suiwan would leave him.

These two thoughts left him conflicted.

"Lu Dongjue, what is the relationship between Jiang Sisi and Yan Zhaolong?" Yun Suiwan suddenly asked seriously.

"..."

Clearly, Lu Dongjue was taken aback; he hadn't expected Yun Suiwan to suddenly ask this question.

He looked at Yun Suiwan with some surprise.

"Looks like I guessed right."

"That day you were being ambiguous with me first, and then you announced in front of everyone that you were with Jiang Sisi. Actually, Yan Zhaolong was back at that time, right? I'm just guessing that Jiang Sisi is Yan Zhaolong's woman, and she might have had ulterior motives for getting close to you. You embarrassed me in public, but you were actually protecting me, weren't you?"

Yun Suiwan hit the nail on the head.

She guessed it all.

Listening to Yun Suiwan's analysis, Lu Dongjue was truly astonished; this woman was incredibly intelligent.

"Yun Suiwan, how...how did you know?"

Yun Suiwan glanced at him, and then heard her say sarcastically, "You have no feelings for Jiang Sisi at all."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with such a bad idea to scare Jiang Sisi away.

"What, are you planning to break up with me again?" Yun Suiwan asked, arms crossed, in a questioning tone.

“Yes, that’s right. I don’t want you to take risks with me; Yan Zhaolong’s target is me.”

"Heh." Yun Suiwan chuckled lightly, "Lu Dongjue, you think I'm such a coward."

"..."

She wasn't sure if Yan Zhaolong could hurt her. But if Lu Dongjue broke up with her again in such an ambiguous way, she would definitely be hurt half to death.

After a while, Lu Dongjue said in a serious tone, "Yun Suiwan, what you want from me is a peaceful life. I may not be able to give you that now, so I have no value to you."

"Lu Dongjue, you've never been in a relationship, so please don't say such nonsense, okay?"

What does it mean to be with him? It means to live a stable life.

In this peaceful era, isn't the most basic thing for everyone to live a stable life?

What she wants is love, the kind of love where she genuinely enjoys being with him.

Yun Suiwan was too lazy to talk to him, since he wouldn't understand.

He never understood what he meant to her.

The warmth he gave her in her childhood accompanied her all the way.

Whenever she was wronged, it was Lu Dongjue who gave her the courage to keep living in the dark, gloomy little room.

"Yun Suiwan, I only have one thought: you're safe, that's all that matters."

He wouldn't say anything mushy, so he'd just be direct.

"So, you want to break up with me again?" Yun Suiwan asked.

Lu Dongjue pursed his thin lips and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands; he did not answer.

“Lu Dongjue, we’ve broken up three times already, including the time you called off the engagement. If you break up with me again this time, then there’s no possibility between us anymore.”

"..."
