"I'm putting on a face mask, I'm a little tired." Lu Zhiwei opened the bathroom door with a black face mask on.
Luo Xiu looked at her dark face and frowned slightly: "I don't really like this color of face mask. Next time, I'll use a transparent one."
"You're interfering with this too?" Lu Zhiwei said angrily.
Luo Xiu pulled her out of the bathroom and onto the sofa in the living room, putting his arm around her shoulder: "Because I want to see your face clearly at all times."
Luo Xiu picked up the remote, turned on the TV, and selected a romance movie.
"How about I watch TV with you for a while?"
"Okay." Lu Zhiwei didn't refuse.
After a few minutes, Luo Xiu seemed to have something to say, but hesitated to speak.
He likes this way of getting along.
This tranquility doesn't want to be broken.
Beep beep—
The phone in my coat pocket kept vibrating.
Luo Xiu took out his phone and saw it was a call from Aisen. He then put the phone back.
Now is the time for him to focus on spending time with Lu Zhiwei and he doesn't want to be disturbed.
Beep beep beep—
My phone kept vibrating.
Hearing the vibration, Lu Zhiwei turned her head impatiently: "Answer it. Go do what you need to do. You don't need to stay with me all the time."
"Then you can look at it by yourself for a while, I'll be right back." Luo Xiu took his phone and went to the terrace.
He lit a cigarette and started smoking.
"President Luo, Shen Jinmo, along with the governor and the tax bureau, have come and say they want the Shen Group's accounts. You'd better come back as soon as possible."
“The Shen family’s accounts are very clean; let them check them as they please.” Luo Xiu frowned and took a deep drag of his cigarette.
All he wants is a peaceful life, why is that so difficult?
He was constantly being bothered by people.
"But in the past few months, all the group's affairs have been handed over to you, and the accounts at the virus base are being handled through the Luo family's public accounts, so the finance department hasn't had time to balance the books yet..."
"Alright, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Luo Xiu angrily hung up the phone and stubbed out his cigarette in his palm.
After taking off his coat and shaking off the smoke, Luo Xiu went back to his bedroom, took a pre-prepared document, and brought it to the living room, handing it to Lu Zhiwei.
"Zhizhi, there's something I need your help with. I need to sign something here."
Lu Zhiwei ripped off her face mask, took the document from his hand, and quickly skimmed through it.
After reading it, Lu Zhiwei was furious and slammed the document heavily onto the coffee table.
"Luo Xiu! Holding this global painters' exchange conference at this critical juncture, and even issuing invitations in my name, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Zhiwei had already guessed most of it.
Holding a global exchange conference is probably just a pretext for building his grand scheme.
If she signs this document, she will become his stepping stone in the end.
Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Luo Xiu softened his tone and leaned closer, "It's just a regular exchange meeting, it's held every year. You can just sign here."
"Still trying to fool me! Your virus base has probably already been destroyed by the police. This exchange conference is your key to victory, isn't it? Artists from all over the world are gathering here. Such a dense crowd will allow your virus researched by Luo to spread widely..."
When you step in to take charge and save everyone from disaster, everyone will be extremely grateful to the Luo family, while I will become the scapegoat and the culprit of this disaster, becoming the target of everyone's scorn.
Only you can stand behind me and protect me. I'll depend on your protection for the rest of my life, won't I?
The smile on Luo Xiu's face gradually faded.
"Yes, my Zhizhi is as smart as ever. You can see right through me no matter what I'm thinking or doing. Since you already know, I won't beat around the bush. Just sign it. You have no choice!"
"You're dreaming. Even if I die, I won't sign it." Lu Zhiwei stood up angrily, having given up all hope for Luo Xiu.
Whenever she tried to influence him, he would always play along while remaining steadfast in his goal of going down a dark path.
People like that are beyond saving.
"Guards, seize her hands."
Luo Xiu's face darkened, showing no tenderness towards Lu Zhiwei.
He had to carry this out as quickly as possible, and even Lu Zhiwei could not be an obstacle to him.
Two strong, armed bodyguards came up.
A man held a gun to Lu Zhiwei's head.
One of them forcibly grabbed her arm and pressed her down in front of the coffee table.
Lu Zhiwei bent over, unable to get up no matter how hard she tried: "Luo Xiu, if you have the guts, then kill me!"
“How could I bear to kill you? I would rather kill myself than kill you.” Luo Xiu smiled as he approached her, knelt down on one knee, and grasped Lu Zhiwei’s fingers with the utmost devotion.
He pulled a Swiss Army knife from his pocket. "It'll hurt a little, just bear with it."
The knife swiftly sliced across her slender fingertips.
"Hiss..." The pain made Lu Zhiwei frown, and she kept pulling at her hands, trying to break free from Luo Xiu's restraint.
Luo Xiu was, after all, a man and had great strength.
He forcefully pulled her bleeding finger and pressed it against the spot where she was supposed to sign and put her fingerprint.
"Zhizhi, remember, this is the last time I'll hurt you." Luo Xiu released Lu Zhiwei's hand, grabbed the document, and carefully read it over.
"Without a signature and official seal, this document is equally invalid." Lu Zhiwei's clear eyes turned bloodshot as she roared at Luo Xiu.
She only regretted that her strength was too weak to kill this bastard with a single blow.
"You have no idea that during those years when I couldn't see you, my favorite thing to do was to try to copy your signature in my diary every day. Now I can do it perfectly."
