In the spacious room, a slender figure stood by the window with her back to Lu Zhufeng.
Looking at that figure, Lu Zhufeng's heart trembled. It was just a back view, but he felt it was extremely familiar.
He unconsciously murmured, "Manman?"
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. As Lu Zhufeng's dreamlike murmur faded away, her slender figure trembled almost imperceptibly.
The next second, she suddenly turned around.
The pretty face came into Lu Zhufeng's view, causing his pupils to dilate instantly.
"Manman?"
"Is it really you?"
"How is this possible..."
His tone shifted from surprise to doubt to disbelief, but what he couldn't hide was the deep longing that ran through his bones.
He left on their wedding night, and for the next two years they were separated more often than together.
It had been half a year since we last met.
How could I not miss it?
Although he had an unfamiliar face, Ai Ruoman could tell from those two calls that the person in front of her was Lu Zhufeng.
That bastard she missed every night and dreamed about all the time.
She didn't speak, but stared at him with a fixed gaze, her eyes instantly reddening.
The red tinge at the corner of her eyes snapped Lu Zhufeng back to his senses. At that moment, he was absolutely certain that the person he had been longing for was standing right in front of him.
He immediately locked the door, rushed forward, and pulled the person he had been longing for into his arms tightly.
He held Ai Ruoman tightly around the slender waist, his eyes bloodshot, and exclaimed excitedly:
"Manman, it's me, it's Lu Zhufeng!"
He then realized that he was wearing a human skin mask, and immediately reached for his temples, tearing the mask off his face.
His resolute and rugged face came into view, causing the tears that had been welling up in Ai Ruoman's eyes to spill over.
Lu Zhufeng visibly panicked and frantically wiped away her tears.
Ai Ruoman's scalding tears made his knuckles tremble. He could only wipe them away and comfort her, his eyes red.
"Manman, don't cry."
"Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"I'm fine, I'm just waiting for you to come and save me."
His rough fingers, with their frosted texture, gently brushed against her face. The warm and real touch made Ai Ruoman unable to hold back any longer. She threw herself into his arms and rained punches on his firm chest.
"Bastard! Bastard!"
"Lu Zhufeng, you bastard!"
"You've been gone for so long, coming to a place like this without telling me. I haven't heard a word from you for two months!"
Her choked sobs made Lu Zhufeng feel an unbearable pang of sorrow, as if his heart was being soaked in acidic water.
I thought this underwater prison wouldn't be able to hold me, but I never expected it to be so bizarrely designed—airtight and able to move around.
Even if he managed to escape, facing the vast deep sea alone would be a dead end, leaving him helplessly trapped for so long.
I didn't tell her because I was afraid she would worry unnecessarily and become so deeply entangled that she would realize she had made a mistake.
Whether it's joy or sorrow, you shouldn't hide it from your only partner with whom you share your heart and soul.
He raised his hand and slapped his own face, making a crisp "slap slap" sound, while urgently promising, "Manman, next time I will definitely tell you everything, I will never hide anything from you."
Seeing him withdraw his strength, leaving a clear mark on her face, Ai Ruoman hurriedly reached for his hand, but upon hearing his words, her beautiful eyes widened suddenly:
"You want a next time?"
Lu Zhufeng was taken aback, hugged her tighter, and hurriedly changed his words: "There will be no next time. I will take you with me wherever I go from now on."
Ai Ruoman finally stopped crying, burying her face in his hard chest and sobbing. Lu Zhufeng comforted her for a long time before she slowly stopped crying.
Lu Zhufeng sat on the sofa with his arm around her waist. He looked at her, her eyes were red, and her nose was twitching like a little rabbit, which was strangely cute.
His daughter, Manman, has always been intellectual, mature, and considerate; it's rare to see her like this.
Only during those passionate nights did he unleash his power, teasing people until they wept uncontrollably...
Cough cough.
Realizing he had misunderstood, Lu Zhufeng cursed himself for being a beast, then suppressed his burning desire and asked seriously:
"Manman, what brings you here?"
"Did Beishan receive my distress signal?"
Ai Ruoman's eyes were red, and she couldn't bear to look away from him for a moment. She looked very pitiful. She nodded slightly when she heard his words.
Lu Zhufeng's head ached from her crying. He gently stroked her eye sockets with his fingertips and said hoarsely:
"Manman, my wife, my baby."
"Don't cry."
"Your crying broke your husband's heart."
He deliberately let his fingers wander towards Ai Ruoman's collar, his lips close to her delicate ear, exhaling hot breath, whispering hoarsely, his desire barely concealed:
"Honey, do you know how alluring you look?"
"If you keep going like this, your husband won't be able to resist taking advantage of you..."
Ai Ruoman felt a burning sensation all over her body instantly. She grabbed his mischievous hand, pressed her small hand against his chest, her pretty face flushed, and looked charming and alluring.
"Stop fooling around."
When Lu Zhufeng saw that her tears stopped instantly, he thought to himself that if he had known this trick would be so effective, he would not have bothered to coax her. He would have just kissed her until she was weak or even fainted, and then she would have no strength left to cry.
He didn't mean to really tease Ai Ruoman; this wasn't the place for flirting. He placed his hand lightly on Ai Ruoman's waist, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, and asked with concern:
"Manman, how did you get in?"
He stole the top-grade Jade Heart Stone. These days, Prison No. 0 is completely sealed off, and outsiders can't get in at all. He's curious how Ai Ruoman got in.
Ai Ruoman's eyes suddenly flickered, and a cryptic smile appeared on her face: "Guess?"
Lu Zhufeng raised an eyebrow slightly and subconsciously said, "Miss Chu brought you here."
From an emotional perspective, he should guess that Eruoman came in on her own.
However, he and Ai Ruoman were more mature in their dealings and rarely engaged in such feigned responses when it came to serious matters.
Therefore, the first person he thought of was Chu Liyue. Although Prison No. 0 was terrifying, he was not surprised that Chu Liyue was able to get in with her abilities.
But Ai Ruoman shook her head, and Lu Zhufeng guessed again: "Yunmo?"
Yunmo possesses extraordinary abilities; it's possible for him to bypass the blockade and sneak in.
Ai Ruoman continued to shake her head.
Lu Zhufeng looked doubtful. Among the people he could think of, only three had the ability to enter at this time.
Neither Chu Liyue nor Yun Mo are...
His heart skipped a beat.
But then I immediately realized it was impossible; if he were here, he wouldn't have come out.
At this thought, he couldn't help but want to ask Ai Ruoman some questions, but Ai Ruoman interrupted him.
Her smile grew even more playful as she asked, "Do you remember who sent you here?"
"Grandpa Ni..."
No sooner had he uttered the words than Lu Zhufeng cursed loudly and immediately asked:
"Who was the scoundrel who came up with this name?"
His name is Ni Daba, and this bastard calls him Grandpa Ni. What does that mean?
At that moment, the doorknob of the inner room suddenly turned, and a cold, indifferent voice rang out:
"I."
