Marriage is long and desires are strong

Qin Xiaoye's gaze was filled with tenderness as he stared intently at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei looked focused and serious, with long eyelashes drooping down, and her skin as white as jade, almost translucent.

Her movements as she treated the wound were clean and efficient. Sunlight streamed through the window frame, casting a soft golden glow on her white coat and scattering gentle sunlight across her dark hair.

Throughout the entire process, he quietly stretched out his hand, without saying a word, only looking down at her silently.

As Jiang Wei treated the wound on her arm, a cool, tingling sensation spread throughout her body, making her feel comfortable and good.

Lu Ji walked in slowly and saw Jiang Wei with her head down, gently treating Qin Xiaoye's minor wound, which made him grit his teeth in frustration.

Sunlight streamed in through the glass window, gently enveloping the two of them.

The soft light fell on Jiang Wei's simple white coat and also covered Qin Xiaoye's strong arms, subtly illuminating the outlines of the two figures.

The surroundings were so quiet that only a long, warm feeling remained.

Lu Ji was surprised to see Qin Xiaoye acting unusually docile, like a golden retriever who had followed him in.

Despite possessing wild and powerful nature, it always tries to restrain its strength, being cautious and afraid of hurting its opponent.

Lu Ji sat down with a sullen face, stretching his arm forward so that Jiang Wei could see the blood flowing from his arm out of the corner of her eye.

Section Chief Wang wagged his fluffy tail and let out a soft "woof," then lay down at Jiang Wei's feet.

Jiang Wei was surrounded by two people and a dog, all of whom were very well-behaved.

She looked up at Lu Ji, her gaze following his bleeding arm, and her hand involuntarily tightened its grip.

Qin Xiaoye hissed, and Jiang Wei's gaze returned to him.

After cleaning, she carefully applied the tourniquet, her movements swift and gentle.

Then they turned Qin Xiaoye's hand over, cleaned the abrasions on the clenched fist area, and applied medicine.

After finishing, she looked up at Qin Xiaoye and smiled gently, "Thank you, Qin Xiaoye. If it weren't for you..."

Lu Ji coughed, "And me too."

Qin Xiaoye slowly turned his head to look at Lu Ji, exuding a dangerous aura: "Who are you?"

Lu Jiyigeng.

He is nobody.

He was just a random passerby.

Lu Ji raised his arm, turned the bloodstain around, and shook it.

Jiang Wei gently moved her chair in front of Lu Ji: "Give me your hand."

Lu Ji obediently stretched out his hand and glanced at Qin Xiaoye.

Qin Xiaoye narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

Lu Ji smiled and looked down at Jiang Wei treating his wounds.

Qin Xiaoye's gaze was fixed on Jiang Wei's hand, which was pressed against Lu Ji's skin. She used a cotton ball soaked in iodine to gently wipe away the bloodstains.

Qin Xiaoye couldn't help but feel a sour feeling welling up inside him, one bubble rising with each "plop," and his breathing became heavy.

His eyes were filled with a dangerously aggressive coldness as he slowly moved them along Jiang Wei's fingers.

His gaze traveled inch by inch up Lu Ji's injured arm, moving to his face, inch by inch, as if it could cut flesh and bone, and a sense of oppression suddenly arose.

His gaze was heavy and weighty, as if it were a physical weight pressing down on Lu Ji.

Lu Ji raised an eyebrow, smiled lightly, and his gaze swept lightly over Qin Xiaoye's handsome but composed face.

Most people would have been terrified, but Lu Ji felt only pleasure seeing Qin Xiaoye's displeasure.

The Lu family is not afraid of the Qin family; in fact, the two families are evenly matched.

In recent years, the Lu family has kept a much lower profile than the Qin family, using a lot of resources to search for their sister across the country and even the world.

This is the difference between sentries and guides who guard hereditary noble families.

After Qin Xiaoye took power, he continued to expand his territory.

After taking office, Lu Ji prioritized preserving the family business and hoped that after finding his sister, the family could live a good life. He did not want to take any risks.

Lu Ji may seem unreliable, but he is actually very steady in his actions.

Close down risky industries and switch to safe, stable, but slower-profitable sectors.

The Lu family has quietly entered many food and daily necessities industries, mainly through investment.

The Qin family entered the high-risk, high-profile medical and technology industries. Because of Qin Xiaoye's keen insight and rapid market penetration, the Qin Group became a leading enterprise.

Data has been used to compare the differences between sentinel entrepreneurs and guide entrepreneurs.

Sentinel entrepreneurs are driven and innovative; they either become extremely wealthy or collapse and fall to the bottom, eventually owing tens or hundreds of millions and jumping off buildings.

When a business leader becomes an entrepreneur, the company grows more steadily, more discreetly, and less conspicuously. It doesn't experience dramatic ups and downs, but rather a steady, long-term growth, eventually leading to quiet but substantial wealth.

In earlier years, the Lu family was not at peace.

Lu Ji's father, Lu Hui, is an S-class Sentinel. He is extremely ambitious, but he is also watched by countless people and becomes a target of attack.

It was around that time that Lu Ji's younger sister went missing.

That day, the nanny took the two of them to play in the garden. Lu Ji was only two years old. He climbed out of the stroller and rolled around in the dirt.

The nanny was terrified when she saw this and quickly picked up Lu Ji. Lu Ji refused and struggled with the nanny, rolling on the ground.

After the nanny calmed Lu Ji down, she turned around and found that her younger sister was gone from the stroller.

The nanny was so frightened that she trembled all over and immediately reported to Lu Ji's parents.

Check surveillance footage, find the route...

The surveillance footage showed only one man in black quietly walking over and taking the younger sister away.

The man in black has still not been found.

The Lu family was waiting, certain that someone would try to kidnap them and demand their property, but nothing happened... their sister just disappeared like that.

Because the Lu family's business is so large, involving the casino industry in Macau, if word gets out that his sister is missing, it will put her at risk. Therefore, they can only search for her discreetly.

In recent years, Lu Ji has devoted half of his energy to finding his younger sister. His parents are getting old and miss their daughter, who has been missing for more than 20 years, more and more each day.

He also wanted to know if his sister was doing well.

He believed from the bottom of his heart that his sister's disappearance was related to him. He thought that if he hadn't been naughty and played in the mud when he was a child, his sister might still be at home.

His younger sister would argue with him and act coquettishly towards him, and he would buy her lots of pretty dresses.

A chance oversight changed the fate of the entire family.

Lu Ji was filled with remorse.

Very……

That's how life is; once you take the wrong turn, no matter how much you try to make amends, you can never go back.

A slight sway at a turning point in life can completely rewrite one's entire future.

The past cannot be undone, and regrets are deeply rooted in the heart, difficult to erase.

He knew it wasn't his fault, but the voice in his heart that condemned him kept surfacing.

What if?

If he had behaved back then, his sister would still be alive.

Lu Ji looked down at Jiang Wei, who was focused and professional. He wondered what his sister would look like, whether she would be pretty, whether she would be doing well, whether she would suffer, and whether she would forgive him.

After disinfecting and bandaging the wound, Jiang Wei prescribed medicine for Lu Ji and gently instructed him, "Don't get it wet. Go to the hospital to change the dressing in a day."

His injuries were more severe than Qin Xiaoye's.

Lu Ji stared at her blankly.

Jiang Wei raised her voice a little: "Do you remember?"

Lu Ji finally realized what was happening and said, "I understand."

Jiang Wei was finally satisfied.

Qin Xiaoye's expression grew even colder as he observed Lu Ji's reaction and demeanor.

He said to Jiang Wei in a deep voice, "You go to work first, we're leaving now."

His gaze swept over Lu Ji.

There were people queuing at the hospital, so Lu Ji had no choice but to say goodbye.

Qin Xiaoye and Lu Jiyi walked out of Jiang Wei's clinic.

Qin Xiaoye's expression immediately changed, becoming deep and cold.

He shoved Lu Ji into an empty room, slammed the door shut, and pinned Lu Ji against the cold wall, gripping his neck tightly with his palms.

Qin Xiaoye unleashed a torrent of murderous intent, his aura chilling and menacing. His deep voice carried an undercurrent of coldness: "Stay away from my wife from now on!"
