Su Jiu waited for him to continue with interest. Rong Si leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I will lock you in your room so that you can’t go anywhere. The only person you’ll see every day is me.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Ah, this is indeed what a villain would do after turning evil.
She pursed her lips. “Hmph, you dare? Aren’t you afraid that my family will deal with you?”
Rong Si tightened his arms around her waist and said, “What if… I lock you in a place where no one can find you?”
!!
No one could find me?
Su Jiu immediately thought of some horror movies she had seen before. In one of them, a girl had been locked in the bas.e.m.e.nt by her biological father for more than 20 years without anyone noticing. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
When her expression changed slightly, as if she were frightened, Rong Si was instantly annoyed with himself for scaring her. He quickly pulled her into his arms and stroked her hair. “Idiot, I didn’t mean it. I won’t lock you up. I can’t bear to.”
A hint of self-reproach and apology was evident in his tone. Even his voice was much softer.
Su Jiu came back to her senses, and her face was filled with seriousness. “Rong Si, have you heard of this movie? It’s about a girl being locked in the bas.e.m.e.nt for more than 20 years. It’s too terrifying. That kind of life is worse than death. If it were me, I would have gone crazy long ago.”
“That won’t happen to you.” Rong Si looked serious. “If anyone dares to do that to you, I’ll make their life a living h.e.l.l.”
His eyes were deep. When he said this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. It did not look like he was joking at all.
Su Jiu could not help but laugh. She wrapped her arms around his waist. “I see. Then you have to protect me well, understand? Also, why are so many girls still trying to get close to you even though you’re so fierce?”
The corners of Rong Si’s mouth curled up. “Well, then you’ll just have to keep an eye on me.”
Actually, no matter how many girls were interested in him and tried to get close to him, his feelings did not change at all. He even felt repulsed and disgusted by them.
Other than Little Jiu, he didn’t want anyone else.
Even letting other girls get close to him felt like a betrayal to Little Jiu.
Su Jiu reached out to hold his face and sweetly smiled. “I know you’re very obedient and won’t do that kind of thing. I have confidence in you.”
Rong Xi hid behind the hotel’s main door and peeked out to see how intimate the couple was. She felt increasingly uncomfortable. She believed that if she did not give up and continued to work hard to get close to this brother, there was no way he would still disown her!

Gradually, the weather turned cold. It was already autumn.
After completing his project overseas and successfully obtaining his master’s degree, Rong Si planned to return to China. Professor Zhong couldn’t bear to let him go back. He wanted the young man to continue staying in school and study under him as his successor in the future. However, since Rong Si had made up his mind, the professor had no choice.
However, when he sent him to the airport, he couldn’t help but ask, “Rong Si, are you really not staying in school? Also, with your knowledge and ability, many first-rate companies will be fighting for you. Why are you returning to the Rong Corporation? As far as I know, the Rong Corporation hasn’t been doing well in the past two years. It doesn’t have much of a future.”
Rong SI lowered his eyes. “Actually, the main reason I’m going back is that… I want to be with the person I like. I’ve been separated from her for too long.”
Professor Zhong choked, not expecting him to say that.
He knew that Rong So had a girlfriend and had heard that she was an A-list celebrity.
