Chapter 97 Is it never ending?
The apartment was silent at midnight. Jiang Tingwan folded her arms across her chest, leaning lazily against the wall at the entrance.
The lights in the living room had long been turned off, and only the moonlight coming in from the window cast a hazy shadow on the floor.
There was a slight rustling sound at the door—someone was trying to pick the lock.
The corners of her lips curled slightly, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and she tapped her fingers on her arm, waiting patiently.
The next second, the door lock made a slight "click" sound and was pushed open from the outside.
A tall figure stepped in silently, but just as he took a step, he suddenly felt a cold touch on his wrist.
"Click."
The metal handcuffs precisely clasped his wrists, while the other end had already been handcuffed by Jiang Tingwan to the handle of the entrance cabinet.
In the darkness, the woman sneered softly, her voice lazy and somewhat teasing: "It seems that I am very good at judging people. Mr. Lu is indeed still treacherous."
The moonlight poured in through the gap in the curtains, and it was indeed Lu Zhaoye's angular face that was reflected. He looked down at his handcuffed wrists, the metal gleaming coldly in the moonlight, but he didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he chuckled softly and took a step towards her.
"It seems that I have taught you a bad lesson last time." His voice was low and dangerous, "It's a pity that I can open more than just door locks."
To his surprise, Jiang Tingwan didn't care about his threat at all and didn't take any further action. She just said "hmm" lightly, turned and walked towards the living room, turning on the floor lamp.
The warm yellow light spread in the darkness, outlining her graceful figure. She was only wearing a champagne-colored silk nightgown, which swayed gently with her steps, revealing a section of her slender white calves, which shone with a lustrous luster under the light, making her look even more attractive.
Jiang Tingwan casually poured herself a glass of water, held the glass with her slender fingers, tilted her head back and took a sip, as if Lu Zhaoye didn't exist at all.
Lu Zhaoye narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on her. She was completely defenseless against him and was even leisurely browsing her phone.
He couldn't help but chuckle: "It seems that Miss Jiang is very confident."
He lowered his head, touched the handcuffs' keyhole with one hand, and rubbed it gently with his fingertips, trying to find the mechanism. Having been in the army for many years, what kind of locks had he not opened?
However, the next second, his movements paused.
"Jiang Tingwan." He called her name through gritted teeth.
Jiang Tingwan then raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhaoye stared at her innocent face, then laughed in anger and pulled the corner of his mouth: "You are great."
No matter how good he was at picking locks, he couldn't open a keyhole that was completely blocked by 502 glue.
Jiang Tingwan was very satisfied when she heard his somewhat exasperated voice. It was worth it that she had waited here for such a long time.
She put down her phone, walked slowly to him, and gently lifted his chin with her fingertips. There was no ambiguity in her eyes, only appreciation for her own prediction:
"Do you like it? It's tailor-made for you."
If she had sat obediently on the sofa or returned to the room, he would probably be a little upset, but because she handcuffed herself and walked towards him with her cat tail up, Lu Zhaoye became much calmer.
The person in front of me probably didn't know how dangerous she looked at the moment. Her lips, which had just drunk water, were glistening with water, and looked extremely attractive under the light. There was a hint of triumphant cunning in her beautiful eyes.
She looked down at her masterpiece, but didn't notice that Lu Zhaoye's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He chuckled, his voice hoarse:
"Miss Jiang knows me so well, shouldn't I reciprocate?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed her waist with his other hand and pulled her forward.
Jiang Tingwan was caught off guard and fell into his arms, her nose hitting his hard chest. Before she could react, she felt a sudden heat on her neck.
"Hiss——" she gasped.
Lu Zhaoye bit her slender neck, leaving a clear tooth mark.
Jiang Tingwan pushed him away fiercely, covered her neck and distanced herself from him, her cheeks instantly flushed: "Lu Zhaoye! Are you born in the year of the dog?!"
Lu Zhaoye licked his lips and smiled wantonly and ostentatiously: "Do you like it? I tailor-made it for you--"
"Shut up!"
Jiang Tingwan glared at him and said, "Just stand here for the whole night."

Xie Duo tossed and turned on the bed in the guest room. He stared at the ceiling, replaying the scene he saw tonight in his mind - the boy named Wen Nian holding Jiang Tingwan's hand and calling her "sister" affectionately.
Jiang Tingwan, you liar, this is the third time...
Xie Duo whispered through gritted teeth, his knuckles turning white.
She clearly said that she doesn't like the puppy type. This is the third time. Every time there is a guy like this around her. Which of her words is true and which is false?
Thinking of this, he sat up suddenly, and the moonlight outside the window shone through the blinds, casting mottled shadows on the floor.
Xie Duo forced himself to calm down, took out the appointment documents from the suitcase and read them again. At least he had successfully transferred to Hong Kong City. If she encountered any trouble, it would be him, Xie Duo, who could help her.
"Click."
A very light sound of a door opening came from the corridor, and Xie Duo's ears moved sharply.
Going out at this time?
He walked quietly to the door and heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away.
Xie Duo narrowed his eyes, waited for the elevator door to close, and immediately followed him out.
——————————————————
Jiang Tingwan had just handcuffed Lu Zhaoye at the entrance and was about to go back to the bedroom to catch up on some sleep when she suddenly heard a familiar rustling sound from the door lock.
"No way..." She sighed, holding her forehead, "Is it never going to end?"
When the door opened, Xie Duo's tall figure stood there against the light of the corridor. He had taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing a white shirt, his muscular lines faintly visible in the shadows.
His gaze first fell on Jiang Tingwan, then turned to the handcuffed Lu Zhaoye, with a sneer on his lips.
"It's you." Xie Duo's voice was like ice. "How shameless."
Lu Zhaoye shook his handcuffed wrists. The sound of metal colliding was particularly clear in the silent night. He sneered, "Aren't you here to pick the lock too? What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
Just put you two together.
Jiang Tingwan rolled her eyes: "Is lock picking a fashionable sport now?"
She deeply regretted not preparing a few more pairs of handcuffs, otherwise she would have to handcuff both of them and leave them on the balcony to sit in the wind all night.
"Sorry, I'm locked up, get out of here." Lu Zhaoye raised his eyebrows proudly, "These handcuffs can't be opened without hydraulic pliers."
The implication is that he has a legitimate reason to stay, but Xie Duo does not.
Xie Duo ignored his provocation and walked straight to Jiang Tingwan. He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "It's too dangerous for him to be here. I'll be guarding in the living room."
His fingertips lightly brushed her earlobe, and the calloused fingertips caused a slight shudder.
"Get out of here." Lu Zhaoye pulled the handcuffs hard, causing the cabinet to shake. "Who allowed you to touch her?"
Is it made of white phosphorus? It burns instantly...
Jiang Tingwan was so sleepy that her eyelids kept fighting. She slapped Xie Duo's hand away and said, "Both of you should behave yourself."
She turned around and went to the bedroom to get a blanket and threw it on the sofa. "If you want to fight, go outside and do it. Don't disturb me while I'm sleeping."
Just as she turned to leave, the doorbell rang again.
