I saw him raise his eyebrows, his sharp eyes looking directly at me with a hint of doubt and scrutiny.
Why do you ask that? Where are you going tonight? Don't you want me to know?
His question made my heart race and my face flush involuntarily, but I tried to remain calm.
She replied softly, "No...no, I'm just worried that you won't get enough rest if you're with me day and night!"
When I said this, I was actually incredibly nervous, afraid that he would see through my true intentions.
After a brief pause~
I cautiously probed, "So... are you planning to stay downstairs tonight? There are a few empty rooms downstairs." What I really wanted to know was where he would be staying that night.
His tone remained icy: "No need, I'll be fine in the car!"
Hearing his resolute answer, I could only softly reply, "Okay!" and then fell silent once more.
Lin Zhibai slowly stood up and carefully observed his surroundings to make sure there were no servants behind him.
He looked at me and lowered his voice to remind me, "Jin Buwei isn't exactly a reliable person."
Just after we parted yesterday, I conducted a thorough investigation into him.
The result was truly astonishing! He was actually keeping a large number of beautiful women under his command, and without exception, these women were all used by him as tools to curry favor with various powerful and influential figures.
To be honest, I'm worried he might have some ulterior motives towards you... Although Brother Qin isn't always the best to you, at least he would never do something as absurd as handing you over to someone else.
As he spoke, he looked at me with concern, his tone filled with worry.
He added sincerely, "If you stay by Brother Qin's side and encounter any trouble, I can still find a way to help you."
But if you insist on following Jin Buwei, then I'm afraid I'll be willing but unable to help.
Therefore, before deciding what to do, I hope you will think it over carefully and weigh the pros and cons.
Regarding that note, I will absolutely keep it a secret and will not reveal a single word to anyone. The decision is yours, and I will always respect your choice.
After he finished speaking, he turned and left without hesitation, leaving me standing there alone in a daze.
In an instant, a chill ran from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. Although he had a premonition that Jin Buwei might have ulterior motives for getting close to him, he was still shocked.
But when I heard these words with my own ears, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.
The thought that he might give me away to other men like merchandise made me feel terrible.
I suddenly felt dizzy and slumped onto the sofa, my hands trembling uncontrollably.
My mind is a complete mess, I can't make sense of it at all.
I leaned against the wall and struggled back to my bedroom. I sat by the bed, biting my fingers as I pondered whether I should keep my appointment at 10 o'clock.
Watching time slip away little by little...
I was torn between my thoughts and ultimately decided not to go to Jin Buwei.
I dare not gamble. If he really gives me to another man, it will be another hellish place from which I can never escape.
At least for now, I can wait for a chance to escape on my own, or if all else fails, as they say, Qin Shisheng isn't a man of lasting affection, and we'll eventually part ways!
This whole night was pure torture for me.
Various thoughts kept churning in my mind.
It's all about the possible consequences after Jin Buwei helps me.
One possibility is that we managed to escape successfully, but were subsequently betrayed by Jin Buwei and various men.
The other option is even worse. If the escape plan fails, not only will my brother's legs be cruelly broken by Qin Shisheng, but I will also face the tragic fate of being imprisoned by him.
No matter how you think about it, this risky move seems extremely unwise.
My thoughts are in turmoil, making it hard for me to fall asleep.
And so, I tossed and turned in bed all night, listening to my own heartbeat, unable to fall asleep.
It wasn't until early morning that I managed to get up. After quickly tidying myself up, I decided to go to the library to find Jin Buwei.
After thinking it over all night, I decided to tell him my decision not to carry out the fake death plan.
When I arrived at the library, I didn't see Jin Buwei himself, but only his assistant.
So, without hesitation, I stepped forward, quickly handed the assistant a note I had prepared beforehand, and then turned and left as fast as I could.
The note clearly read: "Thank you! I don't need your help for now!"
I had just stepped out the door when a deep, powerful engine roar reached my ears.
Immediately afterwards, a row of Maybachs, all black and gleaming with a mysterious luster, neatly parked themselves on the side of the road.
The car door slowly opened, and the first thing that caught the eye was a pair of shiny leather shoes landing steadily.
Then, a tall and elegant figure stepped out of the car—it was Jin Buwei.
He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, every detail showcasing his exceptional taste; his short, jet-black hair was neatly combed, further highlighting the deep contours of his handsome face.
At that moment, his gentle gaze was quietly fixed on me.
"Get in the car!" He uttered those two simple and direct words.
Faced with the situation before me, I couldn't help but hesitate.
In the end, I chose to get into his car.
However, just as I got into the car, Jin Buwei reached out and gently supported my waist, pulling me tenderly into his arms.
