Chapter 464
When Rongrong and the others arrived at Shengdeju again, they found that everything was as usual.
The restaurant was open for business as usual, packed with customers. There were no police lying in wait, nor were her parents or friends there. Even the waiters, customers, and passersby around them had little reaction to them.
This made Rong Rong feel strange and uneasy at the same time, and a chill inexplicably rose in her heart.
Although Rong Rong didn't like being surrounded by crowds wherever she went, she still knew that outsiders would be very excited when they saw her.
Moreover, although the murderer was evil, he was actually quite handsome, much more so than male celebrities in the entertainment industry. Apart from being a bit wicked, his appearance, physique, and temperament were comparable to Si Yuxiao's.
Putting aside her own actions, even if the murderer were walking down the street, passersby wouldn't react this way. At the very least, someone should be watching the murderer, instead of the passersby treating the two of them like they were invisible.
So...why is this happening? Are the people around them even human?
Ling Jue observed Rong Rong's subtle expressions, smiled slightly, and led her to a private room to settle in. Then, he pretended to be focused on looking at the menu, letting Rong Rong take out her phone to contact her friends.
Rong Rong kept asking if the police had been called, and kept sending messages to her parents.
However, all her messages disappeared without a trace, and there was no response.
She thought she had no signal again, but her phone could access the internet normally, and the messages showed that they were sent successfully. Why weren't they replying to her?
Rong Rong was anxious, and the tip of her nose was covered with tiny water droplets again.
The participants in the live stream were heartbroken.
"Silly Bao, it was Minister Ling who did this! He used props, so to outsiders you look completely different, just ordinary passersby."
Furthermore, he intercepted all your messages. It appeared that your messages were sent successfully, but in reality, your friends and parents did not receive the messages. Knowing that you were with the murderer, they dared not contact you easily.
Furthermore, the police were actually already lying in ambush, but they didn't dare to make a move until they saw you!
My heart aches for my baby. Why did Ling Jue go through all this trouble? He gave my baby hope, only to disappoint him.
[Ha, obviously a clueless idiot who's never been in a relationship. Is this how you coax a woman? Giving a signal and then getting nowhere—isn't that even more frustrating and scary? It would have been better not to give a signal at all.]
[Baby, maybe if you cry, the parents and police you want will appear!]
[I have a feeling Minister Ling has ulterior motives. Is this a performance review or is he trying to monopolize a beautiful woman?]
[You just realized? It's like the dragon kidnapped the princess! The poor thing is, our Minister Si is the prince who got kidnapped!]
What a show!
Even after the meal was over and Rong Rong and Ling Jue left the private room, Rong Rong still hadn't received any response. She knew that if she went back to the car with the murderer, she would really have no chance to escape.
Rong Rong looked around and saw that there were many people. She decided to take a gamble. She opened her mouth to scream for help, but Ling Jue quickly covered Rong Rong's mouth with his hand.
Almost instantly, Rong Rong fainted. Ling Jue scooped her up in a princess carry and, amidst gasps of surprise, called out, "Excuse me! My girlfriend is tired. Could you please move aside?"
And so, he easily left Shengde Residence with Rongrong.
When Rongrong woke up again, they were already home.
Of course, it wasn't her own home, nor Si Yuxiao's home, but a strange place.
Rong Rong sat up halfway and looked around. She found the room to be empty. Suddenly, a sound came from inside. Rong Rong quickly lay back down and closed her eyes again.
Then came the sound of the door opening, followed by footsteps that grew louder as the person approached, finally stopping beside her bed.
Rong Rong nervously clenched her fists. Suddenly, the man leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I know you're awake."
The hot air sprayed onto Rong Rong's face and neck, instantly raising goosebumps that were very noticeable on her fair, jade-like skin.
However, Rong Rong kept her eyes closed, pretending not to hear, when suddenly a low chuckle rang out again, "I also know... you're not blind."
Suddenly, Rong Rong opened her eyes and met Ling Jue's gaze.
Those dark, abyss-like pupils were unfathomable, devoid of emotion, as if they could suck your soul away at any moment, plunging you into hell forever.
At this moment, Rong Rong and Ling Jue were extremely close, their breaths mingling, yet Rong Rong only wanted to escape far away.
"But don't worry," Ling Jue said again, "I won't kill you, I won't hurt you, and I won't touch you, but you can't leave again."
Ling Jue smiled and gently stroked Rong Rong's hair with his large hand. "Si Yuxiao, you don't need to think about it anymore. From now on, you are my girlfriend."
After saying this, Ling Jue gently kissed Rong Rong's forehead.
"No!" Rong Rong refused on the spot.
“I will wait until the day you agree, but until then... you can only stay by my side.”
Ling Jue looked down at Rong Rong, who glared fiercely at him. "I will never agree!"
Ling Jue smiled and shrugged indifferently, "Then we'll stay together forever, it's all the same anyway."
After saying that, Ling Jue got up and left amidst Rong Rong's angry gaze.
What Ling Jue said was the same, but also different. If Rong Rong didn't agree to be his girlfriend, he wouldn't touch her.
With Ling Jue's intelligence, he certainly knew that if he forced himself on Rong Rong, he would completely lose the possibility of being with her.
What good is it to only have Rong Rong in the small world? Once Rong Rong leaves the small world and returns to the Quick Transmigration Bureau, she will definitely despise him!
Even after the small world ends, there will be a future.
Thinking of this, Ling Jue couldn't help but marvel once again at how favored Heaven was towards Si Yuxiao, making him the first examiner to come over, giving him an advantage and making him Rong Rong's boyfriend.
As for him, he was a murderer from the very beginning, and Rong Rong's enemy. Heaven is truly unfair!
After Ling Jue left, Rong Rong buried herself in the quilt, and soon soft sobs could be heard coming from under the covers.
Rong Rong is very worried about Si Yuxiao, and also about herself.
She can't find her phone, and she has no idea what's going on outside.
Rong Rong didn't know how long she cried, but she eventually fell asleep after crying herself to sleep.
Exhausted from the stress, Rong Rong slept soundly and was unaware that Ling Jue had come to her room again.
Ling Jue looked down and saw Rong Rong's red and swollen eyes. He sighed softly, fetched hot water and a towel, and began to apply a hot compress and massage Rong Rong.
Fearing that Rong Rong might wake up again, Ling Jue specially lit a calming incense stick to help her relax and get a good night's sleep.
As Ling Jue moved, Rong Rong's brows visibly relaxed.
After the massage, Ling Jue also washed Rong Rong's face and took care of her skin.
His movements were gentle and meticulous, his face full of tenderness, especially under the dim light, Ling Jue's expression was warm and gentle.
People never imagined that the phrase "gentle as water" would one day appear on the face of a major villain.
