By midnight, the lights in the Han family's house had been turned off, and a servant was left outside Ruan Qing'an's bedroom to keep watch, ready to call a doctor if the high fever persisted.
But it was late at night, and the servant was also getting sleepy.
In his hazy state, he seemed to hear a sound coming from the bedroom behind him, but it disappeared in an instant.
The maid looked up groggily, and after confirming that nothing had happened, sat down: "It's really like a ghost..."
Meanwhile, in Nguyen Thanh An's bedroom.
Ruan Qing'an, suffering from a high fever, was wrapped tightly in a quilt like a silkworm. Her delicate face was flushed red from the heat, her eyes were tightly closed, and her body was trembling.
Although he had already been treated by a private doctor, the high fever was not going to go down in a short time.
The window, which should have been tightly closed, opened silently. The wind lifted the curtains, and as the moonlight fell, it cast a long, dark shadow. He sat on the window frame with his back to the moonlight.
After an unknown amount of time, the cold night wind blew in, and Ruan Qing'an, wrapped in the quilt, couldn't help but cough. Only then did the person by the window finally realize what was happening.
"Click—"
Accompanied by the sound of the window closing.
The young lady, who had been tossing and turning, finally calmed down, and Luo Yuming sat down by the bed, looking down at her: "Why are you still so annoying even when you're sick..."
She was so troublesome that he couldn't control his mind at all.
Cheng Yue's curses still echoed in his mind. Luo Yuming could clearly recall Ruan Qing'an's former appearance: coldly observing, condescending, vicious and indifferent...
Every single one of them is her, even her current vulnerable state is her. Luo Yuming had never understood so clearly before—Ruan Qing'an is this kind of person.
She never hid her evil from him, even the seemingly playful side was only a part of her.
When Luo Yuming came to his senses, he had already bent down, his tall figure perfectly covering Ruan Qingan beneath him.
Luo Yuming braced his elbow against the pillow, while his other hand gripped Ruan Qing'an's swan-like neck. His dark eyes stared at her: "Miss, you are as wicked as ever."
"Do you even realize what all your actions mean to men...?"
His voice grew increasingly hoarse, and his eyes were filled with intense lust.
The hand gripping Ruan Qing'an's neck was tightening uncontrollably, and 037 was screaming in her mind.
[Stop sleeping, my darling! I'm begging you, stop sleeping! This time, the male lead is really going to squeeze my kidneys!!!]
But Ruan Qing'an heard it, yet she only turned her head slightly, as if unconsciously moving closer to Luo Yuming's large palm, pressing against him with intense heat and a soft touch.
"Luo Yuming... wants to..."
She murmured softly.
She spoke softly in a delicate voice, her speech slurred when she was delirious, but the change in tone of her name made him instinctively withdraw his hand.
Luo Yuming remained silent, simply propping himself up on his hand and looking down at her.
Unable to calm down or control himself, Luo Yuming only realized that emotions were uncontrollable when the hatred in his heart rose with love. He was loving her almost obsessively.
Even now, he is still holding back.
"Young Miss, could you be any worse...?"
He was so bad that he completely gave up on her, instead of being like now, where love and hate intertwine so much that he can't bear to destroy her, yet he can't bear to let go either.
【Affection Level: 80】
A moment later, accompanied by the sound of the window opening and closing again, Ruan Qing'an on the bed finally opened her eyes. Her head was still dizzy, but she still managed to prop herself up.
037: [Waaaaah, my ancestor, you almost died!]
"Vital signs are good, he is alive."
As Ruan Qing'an touched her carotid artery, she spoke, recalling the impressive 80 points of goodwill she had received. She gradually fell silent, lost in thought.
[What happened? Did the male lead go too far?]
"It's nothing. It's just that everything has been going too smoothly before, and our feelings have been hidden beneath the calm surface. It's only now that things have started to ripple. After all, love is most easily felt when it's like this."
As Ruan Qing'an spoke, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
037 thought she was mocking the male lead, but it seemed more like she was mocking herself...
Although Ruan Qing'an is the strongest mission taker, her file has always been classified as top secret by the Three Thousand Dimensions Administration Bureau, and even 037 knows nothing about her.
She was adept at her tasks, and she was cynical and sarcastic about love.
It's like punishing yourself...
Ruan Qing'an didn't pay attention to what 037 was thinking. After all, it was just a system without emotions, and she was already used to it.
As Ruan Qingan sat up, he saw a gold-embossed invitation on the bedside table. Inside was a very polite invitation for the night three days from now.
"Is this a celebration banquet for 'NEw,' a rising star of a well-known international high-tech company, to return to China and develop its business..."
Ruan Qing'an's heart sank slightly, and he subconsciously looked out the window.
It was a clear night, yet it resembled the calm before a storm. The lurking beasts finally broke free, baring their fangs with sharp edge, capable of tearing everything apart with ease.
...
The next morning, at the Luo family's residence.
Luo Zhihong was finally able to stand up and quickly got rid of the wheelchair, but unexpectedly a scream came from upstairs. He rushed upstairs and saw Madam Luo overturn everything on the dressing table.
Luo Zhihong took a step back in fright: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Your dad's a bastard!"
Madam Luo's face was contorted with rage as she stared intently at her phone screen: "Look at what he's done online! I thought that little bastard Luo Yuming and his dying mother were the last ones left, but there's more!"
"Wh-what..."
Luo Zhihong was taken aback and quickly checked his phone.
The first news item that popped up was a video of a female college student crying and accusing her father, Luo, of sexually harassing her in the workplace and even forcibly taking her to a hotel under the guise of a business trip!
