"Creak..."
Lu Dongjue parked the car on the side of the road.
Yun Suiwan looked at him with a calm and composed expression.
"The year is drawing to a close."
Lu Dongjue gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, as if he had just gone through a battle.
"You...you're in danger following me. You could lose your life at any moment. Do you know that?"
"Oh? Now you've remembered the danger? If that's really what you're thinking, why didn't you do it sooner? You should have firmly broken off the engagement with me from the beginning and not dragged me into this mess. Now look what's happened, you've led me into this mess, and you're just going to dismiss me with a simple 'it's dangerous'?"
"Lu Dongjue, when you were trying to brush me off, did you think you were some kind of hero? You thought you were a real man for facing danger to protect me, right?"
"I……"
Lu Dongjue looked at Yun Suiwan, whose words came out like a machine gun, rattling off incessantly.
However, she is right.
“I don’t think I’m great, I just don’t want you to be in danger with me. We’ve only just gotten together, and our relationship isn’t at the point where we’d be inseparable even in life and death, so you should go.”
After speaking, Lu Dongjue turned his gaze away.
Damn it, why did he seem so distressed when I said those last words?
What if Yun Suiwan really left? He dared not think about it.
Upon hearing his words, Yun Suiwan reached out and slapped his arm.
Lu Dongjue looked at her.
"Lu Dongjue, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by not having deep feelings?" Did he accidentally tell the truth?
"You, Lu Dongjue, you've unknowingly blurted out your true feelings, haven't you? Your feelings aren't deep enough?" Yun Suiwan grew angrier the more she thought about it.
He used to whisper sweet nothings to his lover in bed, but now, a simple "we're not that close" has completely erased any feelings between them.
Whom do you want to have a deep emotional connection with?
Lu Dongjue frowned slightly. Why was this woman so good at finding fault? His priority was to protect her safety.
"Lu Dongjue, speak up! Why won't you speak? If I'm not safe with you, then other women are safe with you? Or are you planning to never get married for the rest of your life because of that Yan Zhaolong?"
"If you don't get married, you'll cut off the Lu family line. That Yan Zhaolong is really something, he actually scared the dignified Young Master Lu into this state." Yun Suiwan then added sarcastically.
"..."
This woman's words are truly hurtful.
When Lu Dongjue faced Yun Suiwan, he felt like a mute.
Yun Suiwan continued, "While a person is in the womb, there is a risk of miscarriage and birth defects. After being born, there is a fear of choking on food and falling while walking. When you finally grow up, there is a fear of being hit by a car when you go out and encountering bad people when you walk at night. So what, knowing these dangers, are you going to stay at home and never go out for the rest of your life? If that's the case, maybe one day a plane will crash and hit your roof, and you won't survive either."
"..."
This woman has a sharp tongue.
Lu Dongjue looked at her helplessly at first, then laughed.
"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Yun Suiwan asked seriously, her face tense.
Stop with the joking around; she's talking about serious matters now.
"Yun Suiwan, I still don't understand you at all. I just wanted to protect you, but I didn't know you were such a brave person."
She had been trembling with fear because of Yan Zhaolong's men, but after hearing about how Yan Zhaolong had harmed her, she immediately became indignant.
There was no fear left in her; she wanted nothing more than to skin Yan Zhaolong alive.
"Hmph, I'm not a delicate flower in a greenhouse, I don't need you to protect me like this." Yun Suiwan snorted and turned her face away.
She had experienced hardships since childhood, and although she had never met someone as fierce and ruthless as Yan Zhaolong, she was not afraid.
Because she has Lu Dongjue.
Just then, Lu Dongjue's large hand landed on the top of her head.
Yun Suiwan was stunned for a moment. She turned her head and looked at him.
"Yun Suiwan, I'll ask you one more time, are you afraid?" he asked solemnly.
Yun Suiwan gave a sweet smile, "Don't be afraid."
In an instant, Yun Suiwan's smile soothed his heart.
But he's afraid.
All he could do was try his best to protect her.
Lu Dongjue gently ruffled her hair with his large hand. Sigh, this woman, if she said she wanted to leave him, he would definitely have insomnia.
Thankfully, she loves him.
"Come to my place?" Lu Dongjue's voice was slightly hoarse.
Looking into his deep eyes, Yun Suiwan saw right through the man's little thoughts.
Yun Suiwan deliberately moved closer to him, and Lu Dongjue subconsciously held his breath.
Yun Suiwan smiled, her eyes crinkling, "No, take me home."
"..."
"Cough cough..." Lu Dongjue turned his eyes away, using a dry cough to cover up his embarrassment.
"Okay, I'll take you back."
He quickly withdrew his hand; damn it, his mind was in turmoil.
He was still thinking of using his charm to seduce Yun Suiwan, but little did he know that she wouldn't take the bait at all.
Instead, he almost got himself killed; now he only feels his ear tips burning hot.
Lu Dongjue restarted the car, and Yun Suiwan asked again, "So what are you going to do about Yan Zhaolong?"
"Let's wait and see."
Yan Zhaolong is currently hiding in the shadows and hasn't given himself away, so they can't do anything to him.
"Jiang Sisi won't stop." Especially if she finds out she's been scammed, she'll definitely go crazy.
Yun Suiwan could tell at a glance that Jiang Sisi had the potential to become a madwoman.
"She poses no threat whatsoever."
"Um."
"Anyway, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Lu Dongjue repeated, as if this was his determination.
Yun Suiwan looked at him, and the two of them exchanged a glance. She nodded.
With those words from him, she felt reassured.
Soon, they arrived at the Yun family's gate.
Before Yun Suiwan got out of the car, Lu Dongjue said, "Your family..."
"Don't worry, I have a way. Over the years, I've accumulated a lot of 'combat' experience." Yun Suiwan smiled brightly, her face completely unconcerned.
But the more she acted like this, the more heartbroken Lu Dongjue felt.
He reached out and hugged Yun Suiwan, then kissed the top of her head tenderly.
"From now on, you'll have me by your side, and you won't have to put up with their bad temper."
"Hehe, do you think I'm the one who gets bullied?" Yun Suiwan asked with a smile.
Lu Dongjue knew that although she wouldn't say anything hurtful, she was actually very sensitive and vulnerable inside.
No matter how assertive she appeared towards Li Xiaoyun, Lu Dongjue could still sense her inner desires.
—A longing for maternal love.
Lu Dongjue cupped her cheeks and stared at her intently.
"The year is drawing to a close."
"Um?"
"I've found myself unable to live without you."
Yun Suiwan laughed. This is nothing. If they were together for a year, three years, ten years or even longer, and he could still say those words, she would definitely be moved.
“Lu Dongjue, we’ve only just started dating, we’re still in the honeymoon phase. Once that phase is over, your feelings for me might fade. So don’t act so excited right now, otherwise the difference between your behavior before and after will be too big and I’ll be heartbroken.”
Yun Suiwan was just making a witty remark.
But Lu Dongjue instinctively gripped her shoulders tightly. "Yun Suiwan, I'm serious."
Yun Suiwan suppressed her smile, but her eyes remained gentle.
She gently pressed her forehead against his. "Okay, I got it."
