Before Xu Zhe could even gasp, he was thrown onto the soft blankets on the bed.
"What?! Um..."
Her rosy lips were captured in a deep kiss, her pearly teeth were pried open before she could react, and the forceful kiss swept over her, even taking away her breath.
Xu Zhe pushed him away forcefully with both hands, trying to turn her face away from his forceful advances. But just as she managed to part her lips and get a few breaths of fresh air, he pulled her back and forcefully covered her mouth again...
The morning light sneaked in through the gap in the curtains, jumped off the carpet and climbed onto the bedside, making its way up to the messy bedding. The light was refracted and reflected, adding to the struggle between love and resentment.
After a long while... Xu Zhengxi finally calmed down, his chest heaving and panting slightly. He held the girl with wet eyes tightly in his arms, afraid that if he let go, she would leave him, leaving him alone and empty.
His warm fingertips caressed the delicate pink face in his palm, but unexpectedly touched something icy cold, causing Xu Zhengxi's heart to skip a beat.
"Xiao Zhe." His voice was slightly hoarse; his throat was already dry and parched from dehydration and strenuous exercise early in the morning.
"I'll change anything you don't like, just don't leave me." As he spoke, his sharply defined lips and nose buried themselves in Xu Zhe's hair, indulging in her unique scent.
"How... can I leave you?" Xu Zhe's throat tightened as he struggled to utter the challenging question.
Although she had resisted all along, the long-lost sense of security was something she craved. Especially now, with his tenderness and affection, even though she had hurt him, he still maintained his patience and tenderness.
"You can't leave me no matter what." Xu Zhengxi was stunned for only a second, then gently bit her earlobe, his voice low, seductive, and dangerous.
"If you try to run away, I'll lock you up."
"If you dare to go to someone else, I'll make sure his whole family never has a moment's peace!"
"If you dare to sneak away, your classmates and friends will all pay the price for your willfulness!"
After saying that, he sucked and bit hard on her reddened earlobe and neck...
"Xu Zhengxi!" Xu Zhe was so angry that he called him by his full name because he didn't expect him to be so obsessive and crazy.
Xu Zhengxi stopped, bracing himself on either side of the bed with his arms, his deep dark eyes cold and wicked: "Leave, unless I die!"
Seeing her with tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with fear, and her body trembling uncontrollably, Xu Zhengxi felt a tightness and pain in his chest. If he hadn't just had a physical exam and his heart was healthy, he would have suspected that he was going to have angina.
He forced himself to get up; he couldn't let himself collapse until everything was arranged!
Xu Zhengxi pressed her chest and sat on the edge of the bed for a while before putting on her pajamas and leaving the room.
He summoned Steward Zhou and carefully instructed him to guard Xu Zhe's room and all exits of the Xu residence, forbidding her from leaving the house.
Upon hearing this, Steward Zhou's expression turned serious, and he readily agreed to the task and began to assign manpower.
While arranging the work, she wondered to herself, what's wrong with the young master and Miss Zhe this time? They caused chaos and turmoil on New Year's Eve as well.
Young Master has come back from such a great ordeal, why can't Miss Zhe be a little more considerate and obedient? Sigh!
After the bodyguards were in place at the door, Xu Zhengxi slowly walked back to the master bedroom, holding onto the corridor railing.
Today's work conference is the first meeting he has chaired since his return. He must adopt an absolutely tough stance to ensure that his team obeys him and dares not act rashly.
Xu Zhengxi got ready and left, but Xu Zhe couldn't even leave his room.
Aunt Lin delivered all three meals and snacks directly to the room. The security at the entrance was extremely tight. Not only were the room doors sealed off by a human wall of bodyguards, but guards were also stationed at every corridor, staircase, and intersection of the Xu residence, with shifts changing in an orderly and timely manner.
Butler Zhou is truly skilled at managing things. The entire Xu family is so well-managed that not even a mosquito can get out, let alone a single person.
Xu Zhe was locked in the room, at a loss. She thought she had said something harsh, and that she could be kicked out of his restricted area by jumping over it.
Who knew that a few warnings from him would scare them into not daring to cause any more trouble.
Now they are under close surveillance, even their cell phone signals are blocked, they can only use permitted apps, and they cannot communicate or send WeChat messages.
She was somewhat frustrated, having failed to defeat Xu Zhengxi in Round 1.
As evening approached, the sound of a lock being opened came from the door. Xu Zhe found it strange, as Xu Zhengxi usually didn't come home this early on weekdays.
The door clicked open, and a large head peeked in from the side. Si Xingzhu's mischievous, gossipy face lit up with a wide smile the moment she saw Xu Zhe.
"Here I am!" Si Xingzhu skipped in two steps and then closed the door.
"I heard you were grounded by the young master this morning?!" Si Xingzhu walked inside, her gossip spirit burning brightly around her.
"Have you been watching too many Qing Dynasty dramas? You're even under house arrest..." Xu Zhe was very dissatisfied with her, saying she was just watching the show and not getting involved.
"That's a crazy tycoon, imprisoning his little wife!" Si Xingzhu's smile widened, and he clicked his tongue a few times. "Young Master is so captivating!"
Xu Zhe was too lazy to talk to her anymore, so he grabbed a cushion and settled into a comfortable position.
As she moved, her long hair slid from her front to her back and sides, revealing large areas of skin on her collarbone and neck.
Si Xingzhu gasped, her eyes and mouth bulging dramatically like a toad's.
"You, you, you..." she pointed at Xu Zhe, "You can see there's not a single piece of good meat in this area, oh my!"
Xu Zhe remembered seeing marks on his body in the mirror when he was washing up in the morning.
She pulled her robe tighter, trying to cover up the traces of Xu Zhengxi's madness.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Si Xingzhu kept clicking her tongue. "Young Master is really something. I specifically told him to take it easy, but he's still so reckless!"
Xu Zhe's face was burning, and he really wanted to kick her out.
"Did you need something from me?" she changed the subject.
Si Xingzhu slightly suppressed her maternal smile:
"Why are you asking the same question as Butler Zhou? I was supposed to come to you at noon, but that old man Zhou kept making excuses and wouldn't let me come."
"Uh... then how did you get in?" Xu Zhe asked curiously. Since Butler Zhou didn't let her in at noon, there was no reason for him to let her in again in the evening.
"That's easy." Si Xingzhu plopped down on the sofa. "I sent a message to my main account from my secondary WeChat account saying I wanted to see you, and then changed the profile picture and nickname on the secondary account to 'Young Master'!"
Si Xingzhu proudly tilted the minibus up, waiting for Xu Zhe to worship her.
"What a talent!" Xu Zhe's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Heroine, please help me think of a way to get out!"
Si Xingzhu, that clever little devil, usually doesn't play by the rules, but she's really useful in crucial moments!
Xu Zhe reached for her arm, but she dramatically jumped up from the sofa:
"Hey, hey, we've never had any grudges against each other and we usually get along quite well, please don't get me into this!"
Xu Zhe: "......" Is this guy such a drama queen? He puts on a show all the time?
"Let me tell you, I don't want to end up like that idiot Si Kangzhu, getting beaten half to death for messing with the young master!" Si Xingzhu yelled.
"What do you mean by saying that anyone who touches the young master was beaten half to death?" Xu Zhe frowned. When did Si Kangzhu ever lay a finger on her? He didn't even dare to overstep his bounds to stop her.
When Qin Yuyang was hospitalized, he would rather fail to stop her from visiting than dare to touch her.
