Zhu Jinzhao was terrified by Zhu Xingye. He was usually a cowardly and easily manipulated person, but now he was acting like a madman, violently and sharply opposing Zhu Xingye.

She knew what Zhu Xingye disliked most, so she deliberately treaded on his sensitive spots.

"I just like being close to Shi Jing, and I'm willing to let Shi Jing leave marks on me! So what? Is it illegal?"

"Shi Jing is my legitimate boyfriend. It's perfectly normal for my boyfriend and I to be affectionate! What are you unhappy about?"

Zhu Jinzhao has a knack for getting angry, and Zhu Xingye was so enraged by her words that he lost his temper.

"Zhu Jinzhao, is this the kind of thing you should be saying?!" he asked fiercely.

Zhu Jinzhao tilted her head back and argued with him: "Why shouldn't I be the one to speak? You can like your childhood sweetheart, so why can't I be ambiguous with my boyfriend?"

"Besides, having an ambiguous relationship with your boyfriend is something that is socially and ethically acceptable. I don't think I've done anything wrong! The only one who's wrong is you!"

"Zhu Jinzhao!!" Zhu Xingye felt like he was about to explode with anger, his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists.

"Don't call me!" Zhu Jinzhao was not close to him to begin with, and now she wished she could be a hundred and eight thousand miles away from him.

She didn't even bother to put on her shoes; she grabbed her collar and ran outside.

"If you won't let me go, I'll leave on my own. I don't want to stay here with you. I want to go back and find Shi Jing!"

She rushed to the door and reached for the doorknob. She could turn the doorknob, but the door wouldn't open.

"You, you locked the door?!" she asked in terror as she frantically pulled at the door.

"..."

Zhu Xingye did not answer, but silently turned around and walked slowly towards Zhu Jinzhao.

Zhu Jinzhao knew the door was locked, but she still pulled on it relentlessly, saying, "Open the door right now! I want to get out. I don't want to stay here with you!"

"...That's not up to you."

Zhu Xingye's voice rang out close to Zhu Jinzhao's neck.

Zhu Jinzhao was startled and instinctively tried to dodge. But before she could move, Zhu Xingye grabbed her shoulders and dragged her onto the large bed behind him.

She didn't know what Zhu Xingye was planning, but her intuition told her that she was in danger.

"Aaaaaah!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, while wildly waving her arms and legs in an attempt to break free from Zhu Xingye's grasp.

But Zhu Xingye's hands were like iron welded together; no matter how Zhu Jinzhao struggled, he couldn't budge them an inch.

"Let me go!!!"

"Let me go!!!"

Zhu Jinzhao scratched and kicked, but couldn't break free from Zhu Xingye. Desperate, she grabbed his wrist and bit down hard!

The hard teeth were deeply embedded in his flesh. Zhu Xingye frowned, and the intense pain made his entire arm tremble.

But he did not resist; instead, he let Zhu Jinchao bite him.

He grabbed Zhu Jinzhao's shoulders, pressed her forcefully onto the bed, then pulled open the bedside table and took out two hemp ropes.

"Ha—" Zhu Jinzhao immediately gasped.

Zhu Xingye released her shoulders and quickly tied her wrists with hemp rope.

"Let me go!!!" Zhu Jinzhao desperately pulled on the rope in his hands, completely ignoring the pain.

Another rope was kicked to the ground during her frantic struggle. Zhu Xingye bent down to pick it up, grabbed her other hand that was trying to untie the rope, and tied it to the bedpost next to her in the same way.

After tying it up, he carefully checked it to make sure the rope was strong enough and that Zhu Jinzhao couldn't struggle to get off before he was completely relieved.

"Let me go!! Why are you tying me up?!"

Zhu Jinzhao struggled fiercely. Since her hands were tied and she couldn't pull them off, she kicked her legs hard, making the bed frame bang loudly.

"Don't move." Zhu Xingye slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and gently pressed down on Zhu Jinzhao's legs, and Zhu Jinzhao could no longer struggle.

"Chaochao, this villa is built in the mountains. Even if you run out of this door, you won't be able to escape this mountain."

"Just stay put and don't waste your energy."

"Zhu Xingye!" Zhu Jinzhao stared at Zhu Xingye in disbelief, her eyes red.

"Are you trying to imprison me now?" she asked in a trembling voice.

“Yes.” Zhu Xingye smiled slightly and answered softly, “Because Chaochao is not well-behaved, I can only lock her up for now. I will release her when she realizes her mistake.”

"What did I do wrong?!" Zhu Jinzhao was in a bad mood today. Ever since she found out that Zhu Xingye liked her, she had been holding back a lot of anger.

She couldn't accept the fact that Zhu Xingye liked her, nor did she want to be locked up here by him.

"Zhu Xingye, I'm just dating normally, and I'm being intimate with my boyfriend normally. What did I do wrong?"

"You've made a lot of mistakes," Zhu Xingye said indifferently. Since all his dirty thoughts had been laid bare, he had nothing to be angry or anxious about.

“She was bullied while working as an extra but didn’t tell me. Instead, she confided her grievances to Shi Jing, whom she had only known for two days. Even though she didn’t go on a business trip with Mingyue, she conspired with her and Yang Min to lie to me.”

"He said nice things, that he was too tired from filming variety shows and wanted to go on a trip with his friends to relax, but in reality, he secretly moved into Ning Shi's house and had secret rendezvous with Shi Jing every day."

"For the first three days of their tryst, they only held hands and hugged. But for the last four days, they started doing things that didn't respect themselves! And for the last two days, they even moved into Shi Jing's room!"

"Chaochao, you've done so many bad things behind my back, and you still dare to say you're innocent?"

"..." Although he was very angry, he couldn't deny that it was indeed a bit wrong to do these things behind Zhu Xingye's back.

Zhu Jinzhao blinked guiltily, replying weakly and without much conviction: "One thing at a time. If I did something wrong, you can talk to me about it separately. There's no need to confuse these things with your nonsense!"

"That's no reason for you to imprison me!"

“I didn’t say that was my reason for imprisoning you.” Zhu Xingye pressed down on her leg, his slender fingers unconsciously caressing her calf.

"I'm imprisoning you simply because I love you. But you haven't fully accepted me yet, so I have no choice but to lock you up temporarily."

"You bastard!" Zhu Jinzhao screamed at the top of his lungs.

Zhu Xingye smiled slightly, a smile that sent chills down Zhu Jinzhao's spine.

"Chaochao, say whatever you want, I won't stop you."

Zhu Jinzhao glared at him fiercely, panting with anger.

He said gently, "This place was specially prepared for Chaochao. Chaochao, stay here peacefully, and I will always be with you."
