Chapter 28 onwards is called that on C.
He has been very tolerant of her these past few days, but only on the condition that she doesn't cross his bottom line.
His bottom line was that she should stay at home obediently.
When he has free time, he will naturally take her out for a walk to relax.
After all, Luo Tingwei had a history of running away, so he wanted to take precautions and nip any inappropriate thoughts she might have in the bud.
Hearing him say that, Luo Tingwei felt a chill in her heart, but she still wanted to try, so her voice softened.
“Rio doesn’t know your bodyguards, she won’t go with them.”
"Don't worry, I promise I'll bring it back. You just stay home and behave yourself."
Li Yanzhou still showed no sign of backing down.
"Just let me go this once, I swear, I'll be back quickly. You can send a few more bodyguards with me."
Luo Tingwei rubbed her hands together, her gaze towards him growing increasingly pitiful.
"Please, Brother Yan..."
"..."
Li Yanzhou was taken aback by her sudden use of the word "brother".
A barely perceptible pixel appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sometimes he really doubted her; he thought she was saving her best moves for crucial moments.
Just like now, calling him made him soften his heart and relax.
Just this once.
"You must be back in half an hour."
Li Yanzhou finished speaking somewhat reluctantly, then lowered his head to do other things.

Luo Tingwei happily went out the door. Although she was accompanied by bodyguards and a driver, at least she was able to go out and pick up Rio.
Based on the address provided, the car quickly drove to the other side of the city and finally stopped in front of a manor.
The manor was luxurious, grand, and magnificent, which caught Luo Tingwei's eye.
Unexpectedly, Rio was taken in by a wealthy family.
The butler was already waiting there; upon seeing her, he nodded respectfully.
"Are you Miss Luo? Please come with me."
Four bodyguards followed closely behind her, also wanting to go inside.
Seeing this, the butler did not stop them, but instead greeted them, "It's alright, please come in, everyone."
After passing through layer upon layer of long corridors, the main building finally came into view.
The butler personally opened the villa door for her, saying, "Please come in."
A whiff of coffee aroma wafted over.
A man dressed in pajamas appeared before her, carrying a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
"Miss Luo?"
The man saw her, his peach blossom eyes holding a half-smile, and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Lin Zeyuan."
After saying that, the man's eyes turned cold when he glanced at the bodyguards behind her.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin."
Luo Tingwei looked around, but didn't see a dog.
"Excuse me, where is Rio?"
Lin Zeyuan smiled and said, "It's on the second floor. The doctor is changing its dressing. Please sit down and wait a moment."
So Luo Tingwei sat down on the sofa.
The four bodyguards kept their eyes fixed on her, not daring to relax for a moment.
Seeing this, Lin Zeyuan joked, "It seems Miss Luo came prepared today. What, do I give you the impression of being a bad guy?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Luo Tingwei quickly explained, "Uh, no, they...they are,"
"Was it sent by your boyfriend to protect you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei instinctively shook her head, then quickly came up with a solution.
"...No, it's because my dad was worried about me, so he sent them along."
Lin Zeyuan's smile widened. "Is that so? Your father is quite cautious. I was thinking of inviting you for a coffee, but it seems I'll have to pass."
After saying that, Lin Zeyuan sat down at the other table and started drinking coffee.
Rio's condition was indeed as Lin Zeyuan had said; she had difficulty moving around. Luo Tingwei wanted to carry her away directly, but she was very stubborn and, as before, did not like being carried.
When Luo Tingwei hugged her, she resisted fiercely.
There was no other way but to give up and let her stay here for now.
Luo Tingwei insisted on transferring a sum of money to Lin Zeyuan as a caregiver, thanking him profusely, and made an appointment with him to pick up the dog in half a month.
**
Inside the study of the Dark Sea Villa.
Bodyguards have already reported on Luo Tingwei's every move today.
At the end of the contract, the three characters "Li Yanzhou" were written in bold, powerful strokes, like a knife.
With a thud, the pen fell heavily onto the table, seemingly harboring some kind of hostility.
After taking a shower, Luo Tingwei came out wearing only a bath towel, and her gaze unconsciously fell on the phone on the bedside table.
"What are you looking at?"
Unexpectedly, a male voice suddenly appeared, startling her.
Li Yanzhou was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom, staring at her with a cold gaze.
"Is there something important on your phone, or is there some secret?"
Luo Tingwei didn't expect him to go back to his room so early.
At this time, he's either not home yet or working in his study.
Seeing that his aura seemed off, Luo Tingwei quickly became alert and forced a flattering smile.
"Why did you go to your room to rest so early today?"
He looked at her, his smile gradually turning colder. "Guess."
Luo Tingwei walked to the bedside, intending to change into her nightgown, and asked him with feigned concern, "Are you too tired from work?"
The next second, the moment her hand touched the nightgown on the bed, the man's voice rang out with an extremely imposing tone.
"You're not allowed to wear it."
She froze, her hand hanging in mid-air.
What suddenly made him go crazy?
She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only eight o'clock. Was he about to do *that*?
Moreover, this opening line is inappropriate.
Li Yanzhou hadn't spoken to her in such a commanding and dangerous tone for a long time.
Experience told her that this seemed to be the prelude to a storm.
So, she looked at him, bewildered, her eyes clear and innocent.
"Brother Ayan, you..."
"Brother? That can't be right."
The man suddenly scoffed, gracefully rose from the sofa, and walked towards her step by step.
The next second, she felt a chill on her chest as he ripped off her bath towel.
Her skin made intimate contact with the air, causing her to hiss involuntarily.
Li Yanzhou grabbed her waist and pulled her onto the bed. The man's weight quickly pressed down on her, and he sucked on her earlobe.
The sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, hoarse and extremely low.
"Didn't you tell others that I'm your father? Okay, from now on, call me that in bed. Shout it louder, I love to hear it."
