Rumor has it that the young master has a hidden illness

Upon hearing Jing Sichen's words, a look of surprise flashed across Lin Lulu's face, which he noticed, and her eyes were full of displeasure.

"You have no right to refuse!" He grabbed her wrist. "Now that I've set my sights on you, where do you think you can run to?"

"You..." Lin Lulu's cheeks flushed, "I don't think I've even agreed to be with you yet!"

"I've made the decision for you on this trivial matter," Jing Sichen said with a smile. "You can worry about other things! Don't worry about anything concerning me!"

Lin Lulu couldn't help but laugh. She took several steps back, looked Jing Sichen up and down, and then said, "Major life decisions like this require careful consideration. Besides, I make my own decisions. I have many suitors, but if you want to win my favor, you at least have to show me how you're different from most men on the market, right?"

Jing Sichen raised an eyebrow, noticing the deep smile in Lin Lulu's eyes, and a smile also welled up in his heart.

He thought she would never open her heart to him.

But as it turns out, things are all about human effort.

He doesn't want to think about whether it's because of her ex or because of him as a person. He's already very grateful that she gave him this opportunity.

"Am I some kind of common commodity?" He looked at her with slight displeasure. "Such an outstanding person, and you're not even trying to hold onto him? You're still considering it? Aren't you afraid someone will snatch me away?"

Hearing his words, Lin Lulu felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Jing Sichen had said something similar.

So, did he fall in love with her so easily and refuse to let her go because his subconscious made him do it?

"What can be taken away is not truly mine," she whispered. "My husband is the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life. If he truly wants to give me happiness, he will not be defeated by any difficulties and will stay by my side until we are old and gray."

Jing Sichen looked at Lin Lulu, and when she said those words, for some reason, his heart felt like it was being squeezed, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

How much suffering must such a strong and bright girl have endured to have such a wounded look in her eyes when she speaks of her future aspirations?

He felt that those who wanted to hurt her deserved to die!

Especially her ex!

How could I bear to hurt her!

Is that stupid man insane?

He approached her. "I will absolutely not let you suffer any injustice! Lu'er, I mean what I say!"

She looked at him, and the determination in his eyes was genuine.

"If..." she whispered, "if one day you find you can't protect me, and you have to sacrifice yourself to protect me, and you have to leave me, what would you do?"

"Things won't get to that point." He held her hand. "Your strength, combined with mine, is enough to separate us. The only thing that can separate us is the blood that flows in your veins, just like mine."

"Pfft, hahaha—" Lin Lulu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I was being serious!"

"Me too." He nodded gently. "If I didn't have the confidence to love you, protect you, and stay with you for a lifetime, I wouldn't show you any love. Even if it means betraying the whole world, I won't betray you! I'm not a hero to the world; I'm only yours."

Tears fell "plop, plop".

She hugged him tightly, bursting into tears: "You must remember what you said! No matter what decision you make in the future, remember this!"

"Okay." He gently patted her back. "I will definitely keep my word."

**

Having lost track of Boss Wang, Lin Lulu began investigating his wife and daughter, and sure enough, she discovered some clues.

It is said that Mr. Wang's wife and daughter disappeared for a long time, but he never reported it to the police. Strangely enough, not long after that, his wife and daughter came back on their own, saying that they had run away from home in a fit of pique.

After that, they had an extra bodyguard by their side.

Lin Lulu felt that the key lay with this bodyguard.

She needs to think of a way to approach him.

Just then, she saw Qin Duanduan sneaking in, her face filled with panic and guilt, which made her stare at her blankly.

Seeing that no one else was in the room, Qin Duanduan relaxed her guard, plopped down, and said with a dejected face, "What am I going to do! How long do I have to live this life of hiding and running?"

"Then don't try to avoid me!" Fu Zixiu shouted angrily.

Qin Duanduan was startled and looked at Fu Zixiu, asking urgently, "You...how could you...be here?"

Then she glared at Lin Lulu: "Why didn't you remind me he was there?"

Lin Lulu: "I just got back too."

Qin Duanduan clenched her fists. "All I did was say something bad about Jing Sichen yesterday, and you've already held a grudge and become his accomplice!"

Lin Lulu chuckled, stood up, walked to Qin Duanduan, and said, "Do you want me to stay here with you? Duanduan, stop hiding, it hurts my heart to see you like this."

Qin Duanduan kicked the air in annoyance, "You're not really worried about me!"

She calmed down obediently, looked at Fu Zixiu, and said, "Let's talk."

Fu Zixiu glared at Lin Lulu, his heart filled with anger and jealousy.

So all those years of kindness he showed her couldn't compare to her years-long friendship with Lin Lulu?

Judging from this scene alone, one might think that she likes Lin Lulu!

Seeing that Qin Duanduan had made up her mind, Lin Lulu silently walked to the door, stood there quietly as a guard, her eyes lowered like an elf.

Just then, Jing Sichen's voice rang in my ears: "Are you thinking of me?"

"No." She kept her head down.

"Can't you even lie to me?" He stood down beside her. "Sometimes it's better for women to be a little gentler."

She then looked up at him and smiled, "Because you're always there for me when I miss you, so I don't need to miss you!"

Hearing her words, the fierceness in his dark eyes dissipated, leaving only tenderness and doting. He wrapped his arms around her waist and was about to place a kiss on her lips.

She turned her head slightly to the side, and his kiss paused on her neck.

These past few days, she has stopped chasing him away like she used to.

However, she would not allow him to make any intimate gestures towards her other than holding hands or putting his arm around her shoulder.

She accepted him, yet it seemed as if she didn't.

"That's a good girl." He raised his hand and tapped her forehead. "Let's go! I'll take you to get some barbecue, okay?"

"Aren't we waiting for them?" Lin Lulu asked.

"After they finish talking, I bet neither of them can eat anymore!" Jing Sichen said.

Lin Lulu thought about it and agreed.

Judging from their current state, they probably weren't in the mood to eat, so they left with Jing Sichen.

inside the room.

Qin Duanduan stood in front of Fu Zixiu. When he took a step forward, she quickly took a step back.

"Are you that afraid of me?" Fu Zixiu's brows furrowed tightly, and his face even showed a sad expression.

"Brother...please let me go!" Qin Duanduan cried, on the verge of tears. "I just want to live a free and unrestrained life, is that not allowed?"

"Let you go?" Fu Zixiu's aura suddenly became imposing. "That night, you clearly took the initiative first!"

"I mistook you for someone else," Qin Duanduan had no choice but to tell the truth.

Sure enough, Fu Zixiu stormed up to her, grabbed her shoulders, and yelled angrily, "You think I'm that kid? What's so great about that kid? Huh? You like him that much?"

When Qin Duanduan mentioned the person in her heart, a look of despair flashed in her eyes. Fu Zixiu saw it, but it was like a series of sharp knives being plunged into his heart.

"I don't like anyone anymore." Qin Duanduan's voice was very soft. "Right now, I just want to live my life well. Brother, my name is Qin Duanduan now. It's a name I chose for myself, and I like it very much. I also like my life now. I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me in the past. If you need me to pay you child support, I can. I'm working hard to earn money now, and Lin Lulu has paid me quite a bit. I can pay it all back to you."

"You're talking to me about money?" Fu Zixiu's eyes reddened. "Are you just going to use money to end everything we've been through?"

Qin Duanduan hardened her heart: "This is the only thing I can give you."

"Qin Duanduan!" Fu Zixiu roared, "What I want is you! Who gave you permission to just leave my life like this? I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

"Why force me to do something I don't want to do?" Qin Duanduan asked. "You know perfectly well who I have feelings for, and it's impossible for me to be with you."

Fu Zixiu lowered his eyes. "What if he were no longer in this world?"

"No!" Her face turned pale instantly. "Brother, don't force me to hate you."

Hearing Qin Duanduan's words, Fu Zixiu's legs went weak and he took half a step back. His gaze fell on Qin Duanduan, looking her up and down. He couldn't help but love every part of her face.

He knew every part of her body like the back of his hand.

But unfortunately, her heart didn't belong to him.

Ah!

This girl, when she gets ruthless, is truly... enough to make you want to kill her!

"If you like him so much, why don't you contact him?" he asked. "Haven't he been looking for you too?"

Qin Duanduan's eyes dimmed, she gripped her trouser legs tightly with both hands, stood in front of Fu Zixiu, her small face showing stubbornness, but her eyes were filled with deep grievance and pain.

"Because..." she choked out, "because I'm no longer clean."

Hearing Qin Duanduan's straightforward explanation, Fu Zixiu felt an overwhelming urge to swallow the blood.

He was also a chosen one, and there were countless women who pursued him and wanted to have his children.

But he just happened to fall for her.

He has always protected her since she was a child.

He thought that once she came of age, they could be together.

He had been waiting for that day.

But she never expected that she would only see his feelings as those of a brother and sister; someone else was in her heart.

She was even willing to break ties with him for his sake.

In the years since he couldn't find her, he has thought countless times that she might have slept with the wrong person that night.

But he was unwilling to accept it; he refused to believe the truth.

He couldn't shake the belief that she might have realized that her feelings for him went beyond those of a brother and sister.

After all, they are not related by blood at all!

How did they become siblings?

But now, she's telling him so bluntly that she slept with the wrong person.

Ah!

Fu Zixiu felt that he was the biggest joke in the world.

"Not clean anymore?" Fu Zixiu laughed, his laughter hoarse and rough. "Qin Duanduan, do you know? I've waited for you all these years, searched for you all these years, all I've been waiting for is an explanation from you. You think I'd let you go? No!"

He held her tightly, saying, "Once my woman, always my woman! Qin Duanduan, you can't escape!"

With that, a passionate kiss landed on her.

Qin Duanduan hurriedly hid. Over the past few years, she had diligently practiced martial arts and was capable of protecting herself.

But who is Fu Zixiu?

He was the eldest son of the Fu family, who had been rigorously educated by the Fu family since he was three years old. When it comes to all-rounders, he was the class representative.

Faced with Qin Duanduan's sudden and powerful counterattack, Fu Zixiu frowned even more.

His precious child, whom he had cherished since childhood, is now going against him in such a way!

not worth it!

I don't want to!

He grabbed her with a swift movement, saying, "You think you can resist me like this? You're still too green!"

"Brother!" Qin Duanduan cried out, "If you dare touch me, I'll kill myself! I mean it!"

Fu Zixiu stopped and remained silent for a moment.

He looked at the woman he had captured; he always knew how resolute she was.

"Qin Duanduan," he forced out through clenched teeth, "What if I absolutely must make you Mrs. Fu?"

Qin Duanduan burst into tears, "Why does it have to be me?"

"Because it's you." He finally released his grip on her. "Rest for two days, think it over carefully, and I'll come pick you up in three days. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at her one last time, then turned and left.

Qin Duanduan stood alone in the room, tears falling one by one, which she then wiped away one by one.

She knew Fu Zixiu's character; once he made a decision, it was absolutely impossible to change it.

She thought that after all these years, he must have hated her so much that he didn't want to get close to her anymore.

But to my surprise, he still wanted her.

If he finds out they have a child together, then... he'll be even less likely to let her go!

No!

She can't!

No matter who I'm with, that person can never be him!

Clutching her chest, she knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably...

At the restaurant, Lin Lulu and Jing Sichen were eating barbecue when Fu Zixiu walked over and cut between them, saying, "A case of wine."

Lin Lulu then took a closer look at Fu Zixiu. He was a very handsome man with an air of domineering superiority. The deep pain in his eyes made people feel a little sorry for him.

A hand quickly covered her eyes, followed by a forceful voice: "You can only have me in your eyes!"

Lin Lulu put Jing Sichen down and asked again, "Did things fall apart with Duanduan?"

"You should try to persuade her," Fu Zixiu said, gripping his water glass tightly. "She should... listen to you."

Lin Lulu was stunned.

Although she didn't know Fu Zixiu, she knew that someone like him would never speak to people in this tone.

It seems to be a very deep and deep obsession!

Or rather, it's love.

Looking at Fu Zixiu like this, she couldn't help but think of herself.

She had waited for Jing Sichen for so many years, loved Jing Sichen for so many years, and now, he had forgotten all the beautiful memories they shared. Only she still remembered the hatred and love of the past.

She couldn't help but ask herself, "Is this the right decision I'm making?"
