After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Bai Yu isn't actually someone who likes being in the spotlight, but whenever he's with the girls, especially Murong Liyue, he can't help but be noticed. It's like being the center of attention on a stage.

However, that's not the issue we need to worry about right now, because once this girl arrives, we can't let her go up first.

One reason is that once she goes up there, she might not be as calm and composed as she is now. The second reason is that she is afraid of having conflicts with Lin Ying or Si Yu. Since she won't be there at that time, any conflict that arises could become an irreconcilable feud.

"Bai Yu, it's getting late, haven't they arrived yet?"

The indifferent voice revealed no emotion, only the girl's usual icy demeanor.

Besides that, Bai Yu could see a hint of unease in her red eyes.

Although he didn't know if the girl was carrying any dangerous weapons or props, Bai Yu still had to search for her himself, just in case.

"Si Yu and Lin Ying have arrived and are upstairs now. Um... President, you didn't bring anything you shouldn't have, did you?"

Seeing Bai Yu's somewhat shy smile, Murong Liyue's eyes showed a hint of displeasure. This was Bai Yu's displeasure at not trusting her, as well as her displeasure at learning that Si Yu and Lin Ying had arrived first.

She then tossed her bag to Bai Yu; everything she wanted to see or search for was inside.

Seeing Murong Liyue so decisively toss the bag to him, a normal guy would rationally choose not to check it, but Bai Yu was different and had no choice but to check it. This girl might just be putting on an act.

Reaching out to pick up the black leather bag at her feet, Bai Yu was surprised by what was inside. The bag was only about 20 centimeters long and had a rather simple design.

There weren't many things inside, but they were all strange and unusual items.

This girl had a pair of black lace-trimmed panties, a pair of silver handcuffs, and a small glass bottle of white liquid about the size of a thumb.

Aside from these three things, Bai Yu didn't find anything else; it was all very strange.

Looking up at Murong Liyue's disgusted expression as she looked down at herself, Bai Yu could only take out the handcuffs and obediently fasten the bag back and return it to the girl.

"President, perhaps it's best not to put these handcuffs on. It's not a good idea."

"May I go up now?"

After saying that, Murong Liyue ignored Bai Yu's words and tried to go up by walking past him, but how could Bai Yu let this girl go up alone to be alone with Si Yu and Lin Ying now?

"Wait here for a bit. Su Rongxue and Qing Sisi should be here soon, and we can go up together."

Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue had no intention of listening to him at all. She turned around and pressed the elevator button to go upstairs.

Seeing this, Bai Yu could only step forward and grab her wrist, and quickly came up with a topic to talk about.

"President, come here for a moment, I want to talk to you about something."

Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue frowned and turned to look at him, her face full of displeasure.

Although the girl didn't have a seizure or do anything outlandish as one might imagine, Bai Yu knew that the anger in her heart had been suppressed and could erupt at any moment.

"President, after today, if you can pull some strings... let's go get our marriage certificate. That's what I promised you, and I'll keep my promise. But can you promise me you won't do anything reckless?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue immediately revealed a disdainful smile, pointing her finger at Bai Yu's nose with extreme sarcasm as she spoke each word.

"You should keep your promises to me. What gives you the right to make other demands? Do you even have the right?"

Murong Liyue's words were extremely sharp, and Bai Yu had no idea how to refute her or even how to respond.

Staring blankly at the gaze that was filled with a mixture of resentment and love directed at her, Bai Yu took a deep breath, and her previously awkward and uneasy expression calmed down with that breath.

“I have no right to make demands, because I have given you even the right to live. No matter what you say, think, or see, I, Bai Yu, am an extremely selfish person, and I know that. But life is no longer what I want to pursue; you are.”

"You can't become their possession. Slowly, you'll only love me."

Bai Yu frowned slightly, feeling a sense of pressure and unease.

Because he could sense a hint of conspiracy and trickery in Murong Liyue's eyes and words.

Although he knew very well that this girl would definitely resort to tricks, because if she didn't, she wouldn't be Murong Liyue.

However, no matter what schemes Murong Liyue plays, Bai Yu will not let him have his way and will always be on guard.

"Senior, what are you doing standing here?"

Just as Bai Yu and Murong Liyue were gazing at each other, a sweet, youthful voice came from behind them.

Turning around, Bai Yu saw Qing Sisi wearing a white-gray JK uniform. Her short pink hair was adorned with a small, cute pink bow hair clip, and her face radiated youthful energy, completely unlike the gloomy feeling she had in the hospital room.

However, Bai Yu simply did not believe that this girl would behave so normally, because in this situation, the more normal the situation seemed, the more abnormal it actually was.

"Sisi, didn't you bring anything?"

Bai Yu didn't quite believe that this girl had come empty-handed, without even a bag.

Although he thought it looked good on the surface, he felt that the more lively and cute Qing Sisi acted, the more abnormal it was, and it was even more abnormal that she didn't bring any things.

After all, she's a violent and beautiful girl. Is it possible for her to meet the other girls and fight them without any weapons?

He carefully examined Qing Sisi's appearance. She wore a JK short skirt, black stockings, and black leather shoes. Her attire was very normal, as was the smile on her face.

But Bai Yu just felt that something was wrong, absolutely wrong.

"Senior, why are you staring at her like that? Doesn't she look really good today?"

Bai Yu was about to nod when a chill ran down her spine, and she instantly realized that Murong Liyue was standing behind her.

"Ahem, Sisi, are you sure you didn't bring anything today?"

"Yeah, didn't you see, senior? I didn't bring anything with me~"

Her cute and sweet voice, coupled with her unchanged expression upon seeing Murong Liyue, was also abnormal.

At least Murong Liyue's face was so cold it was practically frozen, but this girl was still all smiles. Is it normal for a yandere to be able to smile like a flower when she sees the boy she likes with another girl?

"Sisi, jump up really high, let me see."

"No, I'm wearing a skirt. Your demands are a bit much!"

She covered her skirt with her hand, making a shy expression.

But Bai Yu saw that Qing Sisi was wearing safety shorts as soon as she arrived, so what's wrong with jumping around?

"You're wearing safety shorts, right? Jump and see. If you don't jump, I'll have to search you."

Upon hearing this, Qing Sisi looked up at Murong Liyue behind him. The moment their eyes met, the girl's smile remained, but her eyes were filled with a fierce look, as if she might make a move at any moment.

Seeing that look in her eyes, Bai Yu knew she had to stop her immediately, or they might start fighting at any moment.

Reaching out, Bai Yu grabbed Qing Sisi's wrist, disregarding the fact that they were in public, and reached out with her other hand to touch the area between her shirt and skirt.

Sure enough, Bai Yu touched hard objects here, and more than one of them.

Bai Yu grabbed her, and Qing Sisi turned around, trying to shake off his hands, but how could Bai Yu let her break free and take out these things to hurt people?

He straightened her skirt, reached inside, and threw out the weapon he had been holding back.

There are three items in total: a sheathed dagger, a baton, and a clicker.

Looking at these three items, each capable of causing death, Bai Yu took a deep breath. He knew this girl wouldn't be so honest; she had indeed hidden them.

"Senior, these things were given by Sisi to protect you, so please don't confiscate them, okay?"

With her cheeks puffed out, Qing Sisi put on an adorable expression, pretending to be innocent. But Bai Yu knew very well that the protection this girl spoke of was not for her at all, but rather to exclude everyone else from her in order to achieve the purpose of protection.

The problem is that Bai Yu is most afraid of this process of elimination; it's absolutely terrifying.

As for whether Qing Sisi dares or not, look at her serious expression. Does she look like she wouldn't dare?

"Sisi, you can't bring these things up. Throw them all away, or you won't be able to go up."

Bai Yu became angry at the thought of the consequences, and her tone became more forceful.

But such a tone sounded different to Qing Sisi.

Because in her opinion, if Bai Yu was mean to her, it must be because of the other girls. If it weren't for the other girls, Bai Yu would never be so mean to her, at least not in this life.

Staring at Murong Liyue behind him, Qing Sisi's eyes were filled with resentment, a stark contrast to her gaze towards Bai Yu.

That's how it is now. Once the girls start talking, it wouldn't be surprising if they started fighting even without weapons.

So Bai Yu is already prepared for the girls to fight later, and it seems like a battle that is hard to avoid.

After all, Qing Sisi and Murong Liyue already clashed after just meeting; wouldn't things get even worse when she went up to meet Siyu and Lin Ying later?

Of course, Su Rongxue is definitely not a seriously ill patient who can be ignored.

Just as Bai Yu was thinking about Su Rongxue, the girl's soft and sweet voice came over.

"Bai Yu...you're here so early?...

Looking up at the entrance downstairs from the hotel, he saw Su Rongxue standing by the door, looking at him timidly.

The girl had tied her long silver hair into a simple ponytail, and her crimson eyes showed a hint of panic as passersby cast their gazes at her.

Social anxiety remains an insurmountable flaw for this girl, but apart from that, she only carried a mobile phone and nothing else, just like Qing Sisi.

Seeing this situation, Bai Yu was naturally worried about the girl. After all, wasn't it this girl who had truly stabbed him in the first life?

Standing between Qing Sisi and Murong Liyue, Bai Yu waved to Su Rongxue at the door and then asked softly.

"Xiaoxue, did you come empty-handed?"

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue nodded quickly, and then took small steps to stand beside him.

Just as Bai Yu reached out to touch the girl to confirm whether she was hiding any weapons, the girl suddenly changed her personality, looked up at Qing Sisi and Murong Liyue, and said coldly.

"Baiyu doesn't belong to you. I'm here mainly to discuss something with you. You can name your price or conditions. You can name your price for Baiyu to belong to me."

Upon hearing this, both Qing Sisi and Murong Liyue were taken aback for a moment, and then revealed a disdainful smile.

However, neither of them said anything to refute it, because they both felt that Su Rongxue was joking when she said that to them. Did they lack money?

“Su Rongxue, I remember your mother and my mother were best friends. Why don’t you step aside yourself to avoid a rift in our mothers’ relationship?”

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue remembered that she had met Murong Liyue before, and her mother was her best friend. But what did this have to do with Su Rongxue?

"Mother can handle her own affairs, and we can discuss our own matters. If you're willing to leave, how about you name your terms?"

The cold and aloof Su Rongxue is completely different from that soft and sweet girl; she is a loli who is so cold that strangers should not approach her.

But Murong Liyue's aura was in no way inferior to hers, and her cold voice had a queen-like sense of oppression.

"Then I'll give you one condition: will you leave voluntarily?"

After she finished speaking, the way Murong Liyue and Su Rongxue looked at each other changed, from dislike to disgust.

At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly remembered that Qing Sisi, who was standing to the side, seemed to be silent. This girl shouldn't be silent at a time like this.

As a result, Bai Yu almost made a big mistake by not paying attention to this girl.
