She just wanted to attend the graduation ceremony quietly, get her diploma, and then leave.

Before the permit was even obtained, a commotion suddenly arose outside the auditorium, growing louder as it approached.

It caused a small, barely suppressed sensation.

Li Yaoyao frowned and looked back.

At the entrance of the auditorium, two rows of bodyguards in black filed in, silently separating the crowd to both sides.

Then the man walked in.

Qi Yuge was wearing an old-fashioned white polo shirt with short sleeves, and his eyes were cold and deep.

A quick scan of the crowd of people in black academic gowns pinpointed the figure in the far corner: a man wearing a baseball cap, hunching his shoulders, as if he wanted to disappear into a crack in the wall.

The moment Li Yaoyao met his gaze, she felt like prey locked on by a ferocious beast, her scalp tingling and her toes trembling violently.

Qi Yuge looked at the trembling kitten in the corner, a cold and roguish smile curving his lips.

The principal and several administrative leaders recognized the uninvited guest and stood up from their seats to greet him.

They had heard rumors about Li Yaoyao and Qi Yuge long ago; the gossip had been circulating for a while, but no one dared to bring it up in public.

At that moment, the man stood in front of the female student who had just graduated, his imposing presence silencing the entire room.

The two of them are clearly not compatible.

They weren't there to offer congratulations; they seemed more like they were there to settle scores.

The principal forced himself to step forward, managing a respectful yet nervous smile.

"Young Master Qi, what brings you here?"

Qi Yuge reached his long, slender fingers into the inside pocket of his suit and slowly pulled something out.

It was a thin, silver chain, exquisitely crafted, gleaming with an ambiguous, cold light under the auditorium lights.

A small clasp adorns the end.

He slowly and deliberately wrapped the chain around his finger twice, raised his eyes, a polite smile on his lips, and spoke as if he were discussing a very ordinary lost and found with the school.

"My little pet at home is being naughty and has secretly hidden here."

He extended the chain forward with a composed and elegant gesture.

"The principal wouldn't mind if I took her home with me, would he?"

The principal looked down at the chain swaying under the light, raised his hand to smooth his already dwindling bald patch, and his Adam's apple bobbed several times.

There was only one thought in my mind.

I want to call 110.

He spoke haltingly, his voice trembling.

"I...we don't have any lost animals around here."

Qi Yuge slowly lit a cigarette, and casually pointed his long index finger, holding the cigarette between his fingers, toward the side door of the auditorium.

Everyone's eyes turned to him in unison.

Li Yaoyao was crouching low and tiptoeing, moving slowly and carefully toward the side door at the lightest pace she had ever taken in her life.

His face was etched with guilt and a desire to escape.

"Isn't it over there?"

All the teachers and students in the room looked at her at the same time.

Li Yaoyao froze halfway, one foot still in the position of secretly taking a step, her whole body like a stone statue being stared at.

She closed her eyes in despair and spoke to the system.

"Cao Cao, I was wrong. I still can't accept being baptized by everyone..."

"Why are you doing this to me? How can you have so many bizarre ways to make me more and more frustrated each time?!"

Then she closed her eyes and made a firm decision.

His legs were shaking like a leaf, but he sprinted through the side door at top speed and ran out.

Qi Yuge stood there, watching her disappear through the side door like a startled rabbit.

He slowly and deliberately retrieved the silver chain into his palm, the curve of his lips deepening the danger, and strode after her.

The campus forum of Kyoto University exploded within minutes.

Posts kept refreshing, and the homepage was full of live updates.

[Holy crap, Qi Yuge came to the graduation ceremony! He brought two rows of bodyguards! He just picked up Li Yaoyao and carried her away!]

[Wasn't she supposed to have been dumped? This doesn't look like she was dumped at all; the young master chased after her!]

[Did you guys see what's wrapped around his hand? This is like a wife-chasing-after-death situation!]

I think I saw him holding a chain, a silver one... Could it be the kind I'm thinking of?

[You're right, upstairs. It's exactly what you're thinking. The principal's face turned green.]

Li Yaoyao never imagined in her life that she would become the person with the most headlines in the history of the campus forum.

After she rushed out of the side door, her athletic ability was truly worrying. Her legs were almost tied in knots from running, but her speed didn't improve at all.

Qi Yuge followed behind her with long strides, unhurried and even his breathing was steady. His leisurely demeanor made it seem more like he was taking a stroll than chasing someone.

As he passed the playground, he even had the leisure to glance at the stunned juniors standing frozen on the basketball court, then put a cigarette in his mouth and continued to follow with unhurried steps.

He didn't need his bodyguards to do it—

To win over one's own wife, one must do it personally.

After a few big strides, he caught up with the little short-legged guy who was frantically fiddling with his two legs.

His slender fingers precisely pinched the back of her T-shirt collar from behind, like grabbing a runaway cat.

Then he bent down, put his arm around her knees, lifted her up from the ground, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

Some people in the crowd gasped, some instinctively covered their mouths, and some nearly dropped their phones.

"Let me go!"

Li Yaoyao hung upside down on his shoulder, struggling to punch his back, kicking his waist wildly with her ankles, almost sending her canvas shoes flying off.

Qi Yuge raised his other hand and slapped her wriggling buttocks with a light but clear sound that could be heard clearly within several meters.

"I advise you to save your breath."

His voice, hoarse and dangerous, came from behind a cigarette. He leaned his head against her thigh, each word sounding like it was being ground out between his teeth.

"If you don't want me to fuck you right now, you'd better stay put."

Li Yaoyao's face turned bright red, and she didn't even have the strength to pound his back. She was like a fish that had been pulled ashore, frozen on his shoulder, not daring to move anymore.

Her mind was in chaos, and Su Yannian's questions kept echoing in her ears.

"—Do you know who drugged her?" "It was Qi Yuge! Qi Yuge!"

He's assertive, domineering, and reckless, and now he's pulled this stunt.

So what is the truth about the night Su Jinsheng was drugged?

She suddenly became unsure.

Qi Yuge threw her into the back seat of the Cullinan.

The car door slammed shut, and he walked around to the other side to get in, speaking to He Ming, who had been waiting for a long time.

"go home."

A long line of black cars was parked quietly at the entrance of the multi-purpose hall, their engines humming softly.

He Ming sat in the driver's seat without daring to utter a sound, quietly lowering the rearview mirror a few notches, and not daring to look.

As the convoy drove away from the campus, the flashes of cameras behind them were still going off. The trending topics on the campus forum had rapidly evolved from "Prince's wife-chasing-after-the-crematorium" to "Silver chain play confirmed live."

Li Yaoyao huddled in the corner of the back seat, her fingers gripping the seatbelt buckle, stubbornly refusing to look at Qi Yuge.
