Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night
Chapter 74 A Yuan, you've finally arrived!
Xu Yuanjia changed his shoes and walked in. He paused for a moment as he passed Xu Jia, then continued walking.
He leaned back on the sofa armrest, his body slightly reclining, his posture casual yet exuding the aura of a superior.
Xu Chenglin was the first to react. He put his legs down, stood up from the sofa, his shirt wrinkled and as flamboyant as a rooster displaying its tail feathers.
He glanced at Xu Yuanjia, then at Shi Luyu, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.
"Alright, Xu Yuanjia, you've come just in time."
He grabbed the lighter from the coffee table, stuffed it into his pocket, and strode towards the door.
As he passed by Xu Jia, he paused for half a step, turned his head, and whispered something.
He said, "Aren't you the one who's really doing this? You're willing to just hand her over to someone else?"
Xu Jia's expression remained unchanged, but the fingers hanging at his sides curled slightly.
The door was slammed shut with great force, and the entire door frame trembled and echoed.
There were three people left in the living room.
Xu Yuanjia stood up from the sofa armrest, walked to Shi Luyu's side, and naturally put his arm around her waist. His palm was on her waist, and his thumb slowly drew circles through the thin fabric of her pajamas, the possessiveness as strong as an overturned perfume bottle.
Xu Jia's gaze lingered on that hand for a long time before he looked up at Xu Yuanjia's face.
The two men's gazes collided in mid-air, sparking countless silent flames and wisps of smoke.
"Assistant Professor Xu, is something the matter that you're here so late?" Xu Yuanjia spoke first, his tone as polite as if he were entertaining a guest, but his expression was anything but friendly.
Xu Jia turned to Shi Luyu, his voice steady: "The project sample is out, and I wanted to confirm it with you, Shi." He paused, then asked her again, seemingly unwilling to believe it: "You live with him?"
Shi Luyu opened her mouth, but before she could answer, the hand around her waist tightened. Xu Yuanjia slightly turned to the side, partially shielding her behind him: "Is there a problem?"
Xu Jia looked at him for two seconds, then lowered her eyes and took a USB drive out of her pocket, placing it on the coffee table. "The sample is here. Contact me if you have any questions after you've watched it."
He turned to Shi Luyu, a tiny curve forming at the corner of his mouth. The smile was gentle and restrained, yet carried an indescribable emotion that made one's heart tighten.
Xu Jia opened the door and gave Shi Luyu a final reminder: "Be careful."
From an angle where Shi Luyu couldn't see, Xu Yuanjia gave him a strange smile: "Instead of worrying about my darling, you should go back to sleep early."
"After all, Assistant Professor Xu's parents must be very busy with their business, right?"
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Shouldn't we just ignore them?"
The threat was too obvious, and Xu Jia's brows furrowed sharply. In the end, he said nothing more and turned to leave. The door closed behind him, and his footsteps faded into the distance down the corridor.
Before Shi Luyu could react, her chin was grabbed. Xu Yuanjia's fingers gripped her jawline, turning her face towards him, and his thumb brushed against her lip line:
"How long do you want to see what others are watching?"
Shi Luyu slapped his hand away, and the first thing she did was to ask him, "Brother, you were taken away by Master Jia, did he do anything to you?"
Xu Yuanjia lowered his eyes, his eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his cheekbone.
He quickly changed his attitude, sighed, and the sigh carried just the right amount of grievance and exhaustion:
"Jia didn't do anything to me. I think... Jia is a good person."
Shi Luyu: "Huh?"
He continued, "Unlike those shady men who come to our house in the middle of the night, what if they do something inappropriate to you?"
Shi Luyu looked at him, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.
Jia didn't do anything to him, but Jia did to her.
Asking her to provide her body... this condition was like a thorn stuck in my throat, impossible to swallow or spit out.
But seeing Xu Yuanjia standing safely in front of her, without injury or bleeding, she finally felt relieved.
"It's good that my brother is alright." She tiptoed, hugged his neck, and buried her face in the crook of his shoulder.
Xu Yuanjia placed his palm on the back of her head and gently pressed it, a cunning and cruel smile curving his lips.
Silent all night.
The next morning, when Shi Luyu came out of her bedroom, she was completely stunned.
The sofa has been replaced.
The sofa Xu Chenglin had sat on yesterday had been replaced with a brand new one. The set of cups on the coffee table was gone, replaced by a set of white ceramic cups she had never seen before. The carpet had been changed, the floor tiles had been professionally polished until they shone, and the living room looked as if it had been completely emptied and rearranged.
The most outrageous thing is the gate!
The entire door was removed, and several workers were installing a new one on the frame. The new door was three times thicker than the original one, with a matte black metal surface and a smart screen that glowed blue in the lock area.
Shi Luyu rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
Xu Yuanjia came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee, wearing a casual T-shirt, his hair unkempt with a few strands hanging over his forehead, looking as lazy as a Maine Coon cat sunbathing.
He saw Shi Luyu standing frozen at the bedroom door, so he walked over and patted her head.
"woke up?"
"Brother... what happened?"
Xu Yuanjia glanced at the new door and said casually, "Oh, the old stuff got dirty from being touched by a dog. Let's replace it."
"That door is bulletproof and explosion-proof, with triple authentication: fingerprint, iris scan, and password. There are only two keys, one for you and one for me."
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his lips brushing against her skin, his voice very soft:
"Something came up at home tonight, so I won't be able to come back. Please lock the door yourself."
"Also, don't let any other dogs in."
Shi Luyu stood barefoot on the brand-new carpet, staring blankly at the exaggeratedly heavy door that resembled a bank vault, speechless for a moment...
-
night.
The Xu family's old house.
The mansion is located on a hillside in the northern suburbs of Taimai, covering several hectares. The walls are high and the century-old banyan trees in the courtyard provide shade, making it impossible to see any of the buildings inside from the outside.
Tonight is the Xu family's annual family dinner, but it's much larger than usual.
Old Master Xu Chongshan invited several prominent local families. A snow-white tablecloth covered the long dining table, and the silver cutlery gleamed in the candlelight. Several concubines sat in their respective seats, their makeup exquisite and their smiles impeccable, but their eyes were constantly exchanging glances.
When Xu Yuanjia arrived, the volume in the hall dropped noticeably.
He wore a silver-gray suit, no tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing his collarbone. His demeanor was both dashing and powerful, exuding the aura of a strong person.
His mere presence was enough to make everyone adjust their posture.
Most people were afraid of Xu Yuanjia and lowered their heads, pretending not to see him. Only the old man sat in the main seat, staring at his son with a deep and displeased expression.
In the corner, a young woman stood up.
She wore a dark green velvet dress, her hair was tied in a loose bun, and a few stray hairs hung down beside her ears.
Her surname is Lin, and her given name is Lin Wanqing. She is the youngest daughter of the Taimai Lin Group and has often been brought to the Xu family by her elders since she was a child.
She and Xu Yuanjia have known each other since childhood.
That's why she was bolder than others, holding a glass of champagne, swaying gracefully towards Xu Yuanjia, tilting her head slightly to reveal her slender neck and exquisite earrings:
"Ah Yuan, you're finally back."
Xu Yuanjia glanced down at her.
The others in the hall pretended to chat, but their eyes were all darting over here. Xu Yuanjia was notoriously aloof from women; any woman who tried to get close to him would inevitably meet a tragic end. No one had ever seen him give any woman a second glance.
Everyone waited for him to impatiently deal with Lin Wanqing.
Xu Yuanjia wasn't offended; instead, he lowered his head and turned his face to the side, as if he were leaning close to Lin Wanqing's lips, listening intently to what she was saying.
