Chapter 467
After Rong Rong received the pills, Lei Ke quickly left.
He finally found a spare moment to see Rong Rong, knowing that Ling Jue wouldn't leave Rong Rong alone for long.
Rong Rong was worried about when to make her move. If Ling Jue fell for it, how would she contact Lei Ke?
Lei Ke reassured Rong Rong, saying that as long as Rong Rong made a move, he would know and arrive in time to save her.
Rick left through the window, and not long after Rick disappeared, Ling Jue burst into the house.
Rong Rong turned around in surprise, her heart racing instantly. She was so nervous that she forgot to be angry at Ling Jue's impolite behavior.
"What happened?" The magnetic voice was hoarse and doubtful.
Rong Rong's heart tightened, but she forced herself to remain calm. "No! Why didn't you knock before coming in? Get out!"
Rong Rong rebuked him angrily, expressing both dissatisfaction and rage.
Ling Jue paused, his gaze darkening.
He had a gut feeling that something was wrong, so he rushed over and sensed an unusual fluctuation from a great distance.
His anxiety and worry drove him to rush in, and once inside, he felt even more strongly that there was someone else in the room besides Rong Rong.
In an instant, a fire ignited in his heart. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, and given his nature, he would never let go of any doubts, much less let go of those who had deceived and betrayed him.
But Rongrong got angry.
The flame in Ling Jue's heart was immediately extinguished. He had finally managed to get closer to Rong Rong, and he didn't want their relationship to go back to how it was when they first met.
Ling Jue lowered his eyes, his smile returning, as if his previous sharp and gloomy demeanor was merely Rong Rong's illusion. "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and thought someone had broken in. I'll go out now."
Oh, and don't soak it for too long. Dinner is ready.
After saying that, Ling Jue left the room and closed the door.
Rong Rong stared at the door for a long time before slowly exhaling.
When Rong Rong finished soaking in the hot spring and came to the restaurant, Ling Jue was already sitting there.
Rong Rong wore a deep orange halter dress, looking noble and elegant. The style was simple and generous, without any embellishments.
The smooth, soft material perfectly outlined her graceful figure and highlighted her long, swan-like neck.
Her jet-black, seaweed-like hair was casually draped behind her head, with water droplets clinging to the tips.
However, even more eye-catching than her temperament and figure is her naturally perfect face.
Its beauty is breathtaking; once it appears, it can make people forget to breathe.
It's a pity that Ling Jue was the only audience member at such a magnificent sight, but his stunning appearance made the most of the beautiful scenery.
As soon as Rong Rong entered the restaurant, Ling Jue suddenly stood up and went to greet her. He took Rong Rong's hand with one hand and put his arm around her waist with the other. The action was somewhat intimate, but he kept it within acceptable boundaries so as not to offend Rong Rong.
Rong Rong naturally followed Ling Jue towards the dining table. Unbeknownst to Rong Rong, the viewers in the live stream saw it clearly: in those few seconds, Ling Jue had already checked Rong Rong's entire body and confirmed that she had nothing on her.
Meanwhile, the room where the two slept, as well as the hot spring room where Rong Rong had just soaked, were also thoroughly searched at the same time.
All the mission participants watched in fear and trepidation, and were all grateful for Rong Rong's resourcefulness.
If Ling Jue had discovered the medicine given to her by Lei Ke, she would have been doomed. Fortunately, Rong Rong had hidden the medicine on her person.
Rong Rong's simple attire—a dress, summer high heels, and loose hair—seemed to tell Ling Jue that she had nothing on her body.
But actually, Rong Rong hid the pill in her hair, thanks to her amazing hair volume.
Ling Jue assumed that Rong Rong had no memories of previous mission participants and was just a naive college student in this world, so he did not examine Rong Rong carefully.
Actually, it was more out of consideration for Rong Rong's feelings that she dared not offend her or make her angry. But it was this coincidence that allowed Rong Rong to successfully get away with it.
Next up is a romantic dinner for two.
The candlelight flickered, the wine glasses clinked, and the dishes, a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine, seemed incongruous, yet Rong Rong loved them.
Neither of them brought up any unpleasant topics. Ling Jue dispelled Rong Rong's slight anger during the hot spring bath earlier that day with just a few words, and their relationship continued to grow stronger.
Rong Rong did not choose to take action at the villa, as she was still too nervous, and she also noticed that Ling Jue was not as relaxed as he was at the villa these past few days.
A few days later, the two left the villa and went home, but not to the same villa as before. Clearly, Ling Jue was still somewhat wary, and Rong Rong secretly rejoiced that she hadn't rushed to drug him.
Perhaps because nothing happened during the trip, and Rong Rong was truly well-behaved, Ling Jue completely relaxed after returning home.
The two had even more to talk about, and even when Ling Jue wanted to hold Rong Rong to sleep at night, he no longer did it secretly after Rong Rong fell asleep.
Recently, the two have also developed a habit of watching movies together.
The villa is equipped with a home theater, and the two of them watched a foreign gory film this time.
Rongrong suggested a change of pace, so Lingjue naturally started watching the movie. By the time he realized Rongrong was a little scared, it was too late for Lingjue to regret it.
However, he was secretly delighted, because the frightened Rong Rong kept burrowing into his arms like a frightened kitten.
Having finally survived another terrifying scene, Rong Rong breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got out of Ling Jue's arms, picked up the water next to her, and took a small sip to hide her embarrassment.
Ling Jue's eyebrows twitched slightly, not for any other reason than that Rong Rong had taken the wrong water cup and was drinking the water from his cup.
Ling Jue loosened his collar, feeling stuffy and hot all over. He was experiencing both pain and pleasure from the numerous physical contacts he had with Rong Rong.
Now that they've discovered they drank from the same glass of water, how can he remain calm?
Rong Rong put down her water glass and looked at Ling Jue with a puzzled expression. Ling Jue immediately sat up straight, but his gaze towards Rong Rong was deep and meaningful.
Rong Rong blinked, then suddenly realized something. Her face flushed red, and she quickly looked at the screen, pretending nothing had happened. However, her restless fingers and constant fidgeting betrayed her true feelings.
Ling Jue smiled silently, staring at the screen as if he were completely absorbed in the movie.
But a moment later, he casually picked up the water glass—yes, the very glass Rong Rong had just drunk from.
Slowly bring it to your lips, take a sip, and swallow gently.
Rong Rong could even hear the sound of Ling Jue's throat bobbing, so clearly even though it was in a noisy little movie theater.
Rong Rong's heart suddenly raced, and Ling Jue's ears turned red, as if something exciting was about to happen today.
Just as Ling Jue was lost in his fantasies, he suddenly collapsed to the ground without warning, making a dull thud on the thick carpet.
Rong Rong immediately got up, ran out of the small cinema without looking back, ran to the villa hall, and headed straight for the villa gate.
It was as if there were some raging flood or ferocious beast behind us.
