Lu Ting was a little confused. He had just suspected that Yu Sijin was going to throw the wine glass at him, so he took precautions in advance.

How come I ended up splashing it on myself?

Who are you trying to impress by putting on this pitiful act?

Just as he was wondering, he saw his uncle slowly walking down the stairs. He trembled and suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Uncle, it wasn't me, I didn't touch him, he splashed it himself..." Before he could finish speaking, Yu Linyuan kicked him five meters away.

He flew straight out of the hotel gate and crashed to the ground with a bang, in so much pain that he could barely speak.

After instructing the bodyguards to throw Lu Ting far away, Yu Linyuan pulled Si Jin back upstairs. Si Jin, meanwhile, was still thinking about the gift box containing the gold waist chain.

Back in his room, after closing the door, Yu Linyuan first sent a message to Lu's father: [I've already said that our two families have no relationship whatsoever. If you continue to send Lu Ting to shamelessly cause trouble, don't blame me for swallowing all your projects.]

After sending the message, he blocked and deleted it, extinguishing all hope for the father and son.

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, squat down next to Si Jin, and start to unbutton his shirt.

You shouldn't wear wet clothes all the time, as it can easily make you sick.

But when the buttons came undone, what came into view was a collarbone stained with a few drops of vermilion wine.

Like a few red plum blossoms, they fell irregularly onto the scattered snow, unconsciously stirring up memories for Yu Linyuan—

That day in Jinjin's small rented room, looking at his collarbone, he also thought about... pouring red wine.

Despite his attempts to suppress his anger, Yu Linyuan finally rose slowly and swiped the wine off the boy's collarbone.

As is customary, after kissing his collarbone, I kissed his lips, teasing him until his eyes reddened, before letting go and wiping him thoroughly with a towel.

"What are you doing going out so early in the morning?" the old man murmured worriedly. "So pitiful, always getting bullied."

"I'll buy you a punishment." Si Jin said, taking out a chain from the gift box. Her voice held a hint of excitement as she tilted her head and suggested, "How about you wear this out today?"

"Okay." Yu Linyuan patted the boy's head: "Whatever Jinjin says goes."

The older man was very understanding; even when he was chained up, he didn't forget to remind him, "If you want to see the miserable state of that woman from last night, remember to stay away and don't get splashed."

"..." She really knows him well.

Si Jin locked the chain and nodded obediently.

Yu Linyuan kept his word and indeed went out wearing the waist chain.

It's locked in Jinjin's hands, and no one can open it without her permission.

Watching the person walk away, Xiao Yao cautiously asked, "Sir, I guess you'll follow him and eavesdrop outside his office, right?"

Hmm, that's pretty smart.

The little tiger immediately widened its eyes with joy.

But the next second, Si Jin added: "But not much, you only guessed half right."

With that, he changed into a suit and drove off again.

With Jiang Xuanxuan's intelligence, she couldn't escape from so many bodyguards. Si Jin didn't want to watch a pig eating a peach.

There are places he'd rather go than this.

… …

company.

After finishing his tea, Yu Linyuan wanted to lean back in his office chair for a rest before the meeting, as was his habit. But as he sat down, the chain around his waist would unconsciously tighten a little.

It hurt slightly, but not noticeably. However, Yu Linyuan was certain that if this continued, he would definitely have red marks left on his skin when he got home.

But he had been so composed for so long, and his disguise was so good that if he hadn't spoken up, no one would have guessed that beneath the eloquent, glamorous CEO's high-end custom-made suits lay such a person...

Small, punishment.

Jinjin is being too reckless.

Yu Linyuan smiled helplessly, his eyes gentle, filled with a mixture of helplessness and doting. After sitting for a while, he stood up and asked, "Xiao Jiang, have the persons in charge of the companies that Lu's Group owes money to arrived? We need to contact them after we take over Lu's Group."

"Oh, I messaged each of them. They should be chatting in the meeting room right now. Let's go."

"Okay." Yu Linyuan nodded and went to the conference room.

As soon as I pushed open the door, my eyes locked onto a spot, and in an instant, my heart started racing.
