Please note that these few chapters are unedited as the proofreader is currently busy with his schedule. The proofreader is a voluntary position, his source of income is just from the ko-fi you guys have given, hence I don"t want to puss him. So please keep supporting him on to keep him motivated!
Anyhow, since I already said it and I don"t want to make you guys wait any longer, I"ll just post the raw version first. Thus, happy reading and keep in mind that there might be a lot of grammatical error!
P.S. My cute lovely reader who have supported me on my ko-fi goal UwU, these ma.s.s releases are thanks to you guys. I know these chapters came very very late…. and I just want to say thank you so much!
On the day of Huanyi"s banquet, the hotel that hosted the banquet was nearly surrounded by the sea of various ma.s.s media. Countless long microphones and big cameras were aimed at the gate. As the actors and actresses entered one after another, the reporters were also getting more and more excited. They could already estimate that all the headlines tomorrow would be monopolized by Huan Yi.
Before the sudden appearance of Huanyi, only a few people had heard of this mysterious new company. It acquired several old entertainment companies at a rapid speed. Many famous artists were recruited by the company. However, these news were covered tightly, until today, it was officially released to the public.
Many people have curiously asked who"s the backer of Huanyi to actually be this awesome. However, when they heard the two words of "Lu Family", these people couldn"t help but gasp.
Rong City"s Lu Family!
They actually made a move in the entertainment industry, is the day changing?
Many hearts were beating like crazy, but the reporters waiting outside the hotel couldn"t control it. They press the shutter b.u.t.ton wildly when Ji Lin stepped off the car. The media were all seething with excitement.
"It"s Ji Lin!"
" Oh My G.o.d, even Ji Lin had signed with them! Huan Yi is going to make a big move this time!"
"Hurry, hurry, make a room for me!"
Reporters rushed forwards, but they were all stopped by Ji Lin"s bodyguards. For a while, the chaotic scene made Ji Lin, who was used to it, frowned. But soon after, Ji Lin"s eyes swept across the inside of the hotel, seemingly caught a glimpse of something, his sight was fixed at that spot. Ji Lin"s eyes brightened up. He pushed away the crowd two or three times and forced out a way to rush in.
Ji Lin"s movement was too obvious. The reporters with a keen sense of smell excitedly turned their camera towards the direction Ji Lin rushed too. They have never seen Ji Lin this excited. Could it be he saw someone he liked…. Oh, it turned out he saw [Fashion]"s vice-editor, Yu Ling?
After seeing the person standing there, the reporters were disappointed. With Yu Ling"s age, she could be counted as Ji Lin"s mother, so it"s definitely not the kind of thing they thought of. Could there be new cooperation between Ji Lin and Fashion? Without any exciting news, the reposters lost their motivation and the camera aimed at Ji Lin moved away boredly.
Therefore, no one noticed that after Ji Lin rushed over and came to a stand, he only faced Yu Ling to say h.e.l.lo and his eyes immediately moved to Siyu who was standing behind Yu Ling.
This is the first time Ji Lin saw Siyu dressed up. The close-fitting snow=s.h.i.te long skirt outlined the slender figure. It defined the outline of the soft and slender waist even more, looking so graceful and making people unable to hold their desire to grasp it. The long hair was nicely donned up, showing the white slender neck and the exquisite clavicle. Because they were joining a banquet, Siyu put on light make-up. After putting on the eyeshadow, there was a touch of redness on her always pale face. Compared to the normal times, she looked much more lively. She"s truly a rare beauty.
The little man in Ji Lin"s heart almost couldn"t help shouting: his elder sister is so beautiful! Nice clothes, too! How beautiful!
Siyu noticed Ji Lin"s burning gaze. She tilted her head and smiled at him. With this one smile, Ji Lin"s also immediately smiled back, except that his expression looked somewhat silly. Xiao Ai at the side couldn"t bear to look at him.
Ji-ge ah, you should be a little more restrained, we are currently in public….
However, Ji Lin didn"t hear Xiao Ai"s prayer. He took out his cellphone and put it into Xiao Ai"s hand. He commanded, "help me… cough cough, help me take a picture with them."
Xiao Ai opened the camera numbly, looking at the scheming b.i.t.c.h Ji Lin who nonchalantly pushed Yu Ling away. A big man just inserted himself in the middle and his body deliberately turned towards Siyu. Xiao Ai realized that their Ji-ge is beyond hope.
After taking the picture, Xiao Ai paid attention to Ji Lin and saw that he quickly cropped Yu Ling out of the picture, leaving only the picture of him and Siyu. Then he set this picture as his phone"s wallpaper, which further confirmed Xiao Ai"s conjecture.
Xiao Ai:….. Ji-ge, when did you become so scheming? ! only daring to do this covertly behind others" back, aren"t you a man? !
The "I schemed until I am happy" Ji Lin still knew how far he should and shouldn"t go. There"s a busy flow of people here and it"s really not suitable for having a chat. Therefore, after the group photo, he didn"t continue to pester. He obediently let Siyu and Yu Ling go, except that the eyes looking at Siyu"s back revealed their reluctance.
It would be nice if I could admit she"s my elder sister… Ji Lin thought. He had actually probed his mother Duan Rulan, but once he mentioned a bit of this elder sister, Duan Rulan would always be tight-lipped. Her att.i.tude wasn"t just unwilling to mention, but it also contained disgust. Ji Lin was afraid that Duan Ru Lan would think too much, so he didn"t dare to speak more. As for his father Ji Wenhan, how can he recognize a child that is not his own?
{T/N: I"m not sure how to put the word, but Ji Lin wished that Siyu could be officially admitted into their family, that she"s his parents" child, and she"s his elder sister]
Therefore, even if Ji Lin wanted to openly call Siyu "elder sister" very much, he still had to restrain his impulse. If Siyu became implicated because of his selfishness, he would certainly regret it till his death.
After gazing at Siyu"s receding figure, Ji Lin was thinking of going to the other side when a pleasantly surprised female voice sounded behind him, "Ji-ge!"
Ji Lin looked back. He saw Xu Qingwan holding her skirt and shyly looking at him. He felt a headache forming.
This Xu Qingwan, don"t know what"s wrong with her. They both only cooperated once during that MV shooting and before, they didn"t know each other at all. But Xu Qingwan always stared at him with the gaze that seemed to convey that they had been in love and married for a long time. As long as he said a word with the opposite s.e.x, Xu Qingwan would gaze condemnly at him, as if Ji Lin had betrayed her and all of these were beginning to get on Ji Lin"s nerve.
Even privately, Ji Lin suspected Xu Qingwan had a delusional disorder. Otherwise, why would he always feel that Xu Qingwan regarded him as her property?
Now, when they meet, Ji Lin didn"t want to talk to Xu Qingwan at all. He nodded perfunctorily and wanted to leave. Who would have thought that upon seeing this, Xu Qingwan immediately jogged to block the way in front of Ji Lin and even attempted to hold his hand. Ji Lin quickly dodged to the side and avoided her.
"What the h.e.l.l do you want?", Ji Lin"s patience was running out.
"Ji-ge, listen to me. I just- just want to remind you……" Xu Qingwan looked down at her hand and felt very wronged, But she didn"t give up, "Ji-ge, that woman named Zhou Siyu harbor ill-intent! She approached you with a goal in mind! You must not be deceived. She, that person, would do anything….."
"Enough!", Ji Lin originally wondered what Xu Qingwan wanted to say. However, after he heard this, he was so angry that the smiled in his eyes quickly turned cold. "This time, I will just regard it as you talking nonsense. However, if I heard you slander her again, don"t blame me for being impolite."
Zhou Siyu approaching him with ill-intent? It"s all he wished for! If elder sister had this idea, he would have burned incense and worshipped Buddha to give thanks. What"s the use of talking in a roundabout way?
Xu Qingwan saw that Ji Lin didn"t believe her. In bewilderment, she even forgot to cover up and directly called out, " Lin, What I said is true! Zhou Siyu is not sincere towards you. She just wants to…."
Ji Lin didn"t want to listen at all and interrupted directly, " Miss Xu, first of all, I"m not familiar with you. Please don"t directly call my name. Besides, you and I don"t have any kind of relationship. You don"t have any qualifications to criticize my personal affairs.
When had Xu Qingwan ever seen Ji Lin so harsh towards her. Her eyes immediately went teary, looking rather pitiful. She was still unresigned and stretched her hand, trying to hold the edge of Ji Lin"s coat, "Lin….."
This time, it was Xiao Ai who blocked her, "Xu Qingwan! Ji-ge is polite, but it doesn"t mean that I will be polite too! If you dare to speak bulls.h.i.ts again, aren"t you just stupid?"
Facing Xiao Ai, Xu Qingwan put away her tears and glared at her angrily. Where did this woman come from? How dare she get close to Ji Lin!
After throwing down the warning, Xiao Ai hurriedly pushed Ji Lin to leave from there. This crazy woman is sick. Who does she, she thinks she is!
Xu Qingwan wanted to follow, but Ji Lin"s bodyguard quietly blocked the way. She had to give up angrily and hatefully thought: It"s all Zhou Siyu"s fault! It won"t d0, she must stop her, otherwise, Lin will be deceived by that vicious woman!
Siyu, who was being cursed furiously by Xu Qingwan, was in a good mood at the moment. She entered the banquet hall and looked around. Almost everyone"s luck was pink or red. But well, to be able to partic.i.p.ate in such a level of banquet, they surely had a considerable amount of luck. How could it possibly be bad?
For Siyu, being in such an environment was like coming to a forest from busy streets. The atmosphere was several times purer. She felt a steady flow of luck pouring into her body. The slight illness was cleanly swept off. The whole being had never been this relaxed. She almost cried in tears of joy.
Ah, this exuberant good luck. This time, she"s right to come!

The banquet was bustling with noise and excitement. Some familiar artists got together to chat. Yu Ling, as the vice-editor of [Fashion], many people naturally targeted her to chat. She had been pulled by many people to socialize from an earlier time. She only had the time to warn Siyu not to run around, then she was drowned by the sea of people.
Siyu originally came to make up the number. She was a n.o.body and was a new face. There"s no one who came forward to chat with her. Therefore, she gladly took the opportunity to be carefree. She hid in a corner to drink red ginger tea. Enjoying herself as good luck nourish her body. She felt very satisfied.
Her body was weak and cold, but the ginger tea warmed her stomach. After a cup of tea, she felt warm. Siyu narrowed her eyes and sipped it little by little. After she replenished her body heat, her cheek became rudy, and she looked like a satisfied kitten who slouch lazily under the sun.
She was so happy that she didn"t realize that her action was all seen by Ji Lin who was secretly observing from the side. Ji Lin while exchanging pleasantries with the people who came to him, secretly looked at Siyu under the cover of a gla.s.s of wine. Ji Lin had seen his sister"s pale and weak appearance, as well as her shocking appearance under the camera, but he had never seen such a languid and quiet look.
She sat in the corner, a small one, obediently and this made Ji Lin remember the man that was drawn in the picture that was sent by that painter called Koi. He that was embracing that cat.
As expected, It"s quite good to have a cat……..
Siyu didn"t notice a certain person"s dark intense gaze. She glanced over the whole hall in boredom. Suddenly, on the corner of her eyes, she caught the sight of a familiar figure and immediately fixed her attention there: Eh, Isn"t that person the girl she met at the mall who pointed at her while screaming?
Siyu saw Xu Qingwan standing behind Ji Lin from afar, looking left and right as if she wanted to squeeze through the crowd to Ji Lin. This made Siyu raised up her eyebrows.
She didn"t pay much attention before, but now Siyu found out that the woman"s luck was no worse than Ji Lin"s.
According to her observation, there are generally two types of people with good fortune. One was those whose life itself was in a high position. The other was those who temporarily in an insignificant position, but was able to particularly encounter many opportunities dropped down by heaven. As long as they could grasp them, they could change their fortune in one day. Xu Qingwan should belong to the latter.
Who knew whether Siyu looked too long, but Xu Qingwan suddenly turned around and their eyes met each other. Siyu found out that there was another look of loathing in her eyes.
This kind of look was like looking at an enemy, which made Siyu very confused. This is not right, ah. Logically speaking, at this point of time, the original body hasn"t turned into a malicious supporting female lead yet. So, the original shouldn"t have the chance to start a feud with other people. And yet, why does this person always look frightened when she sees her?
Xu Qingwan looked at Ji Lin who was surrounded by the crowd and at Siyu who was sitting alone. Finally, she made up her mind and walked quickly towards Siyu.
Seeing through Xu Qingwan"s intention, Siyu"s brow raised up. Without a second thought, she put the gla.s.s aside, stood up, and slipped out of the hall through the side door. It could be seen that Xu Qingwan didn"t come with good intentions. Siyu didn"t want to dispute with her in public. The red mark Xu Qingwan caused from the prior incident still remained at the back of her hand.
When Xu Qingwan saw that she wanted to escape, she was so anxious that she didn"t care whether she would attract attention or not and shouted, "stop!"
Who the heck are you? ! Siyu was even more certain that Xu Qingwan came to find fault with her. Siyu pretended that she couldn"t hear and continued to walk out in a sullen way.
Although it was comfortable to stay in the hall, in order not to be entangled, Siyu could only quickly leave. She walked through a corridor until she arrived at a flower garden.
Tonight, the whole hotel was reserved by the rich and overbearing Huan Yi. At this time, all the people gathered in the hall and the garden was very quiet. There were only the lights from the randomly scattered antique lanterns among the gra.s.s. The scene brought a rather emotional tone. [T/N: romantic, charming, dazzling, some kind along those]
However, at this moment, Siyu was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. The door she came out of just now only had one pathway which directly led to the flower garden. If Xu Qingwan didn"t give up and continue to pursue her, she could find her in a flash.
Who knew whether it"s just Siyu"s misconception or not, but after she arrived at the courtyard, she always felt agitated and in low spirits. As if there was a piece of boulder pressing down from above. Her hands and feet, which had just become a little warmer, started to become cool again. If there was a mirror in front of her right now, Siyu would see her face turning pale again.
However, she didn"t think too much of it, because when she previously was ill, she also felt unwell like this. Maybe because she left the hall filled with abundant good fortunes and couldn"t adapt to the changes in such a short period of time.
Thus she tried to convince herself in such a way. Siyu walked through the winding stone path and unknowingly arrived at the center of the garden. She found out that there was a pavilion hidden behind the trees. There seemed to be a person sitting in the pavilion. From a distance, Siyu could smell the faint tea fragrance from there.
However, the thing that attracted Siyu"s attention wasn"t this, but a large dark cloud gathered above the pavilion —— No, incorrect, she should have said that it looked like a type of dark cloud that weighed heavily on someone. It"s a huge deep black fortune.
The lanterns hanging on the four corners of the pavilion emitted a bright warm yellow light. But, against this light, the extremely gigantic black fortune looked so cold and horrible. Siyu only took a quick glimpse and involuntarily shivered.
What the f.u.c.k! Where did this great evil star come from! She had never seen a black fortune that was so dense and huge to such an extent. The fate of people was always wafting to and fro above their head in a wisp. Even the exuberant luck of Ji Lin was only a bit bigger. Yet…. and yet the bad luck over there nearly covered the whole pavilion!
In the next second, Siyu felt that her chest cavity was in a spectacular mess. Her blood unceasingly surged up. The good fortune could nourish her body and help lighten her illness. However, ominous fortune would do the exact opposite!
Siyu wanted to escape right away, however, she was already too late. Her forehead was seeping with cold sweat and her face was instantly voided of blood. She had just turned around, took a step to leave, and yet it was like stepping on cotton. One of her legs failed her and she almost twisted her ankle. Fortunately, Siyu held on to the rockery beside her, otherwise, she would have fallen headfirst into the thick clump of gra.s.s.
The feeling of being light-headed and unsteady was very unpleasant. In addition, the taste of blood was gushing into her throat. Siyu hastily raised her hand to cover her lips, but she couldn"t stop the whimper that pa.s.sed through her fingers.
This movement immediately alerted the people in the pavilion.

Lu Xingzhou was originally earnestly accompanying this venerable great Buddha of the Lu family and was cooking water to brew tea. After watching for a while, he couldn"t help but ask," Fifth Master, won"t you go in?"
Fifth Master lu looked down and lightly said," too noisy."
Wasn"t you the one who demanded to come….. Lu Xingzhou only dared to say this in this heart and said," Yes, yes, yes, I"m also not very fond of that kind of situation too. Speaking of which, the previous car crash accident, I found out something. If I"m right, that drugged driver should be a person from Lu"s branch family. That person previously committed a mistake and was punished by my father for a period of time. He wasn"t content, so he was thinking of setting me up."
Fifth Master Lu didn"t seem to care about such a trifling matter and merely said," Lu family doesn"t raise waste. It doesn"t matter what you do, just deal with it as you like."
Even though he said it dully, but Lu Xingzhou still heard the murderous intent hidden in the words. He couldn"t help but shivered and said respectfully, "Fifth Master, don"t worry, I"ll handle it."
After Lu Xingzhou voiced up his answer, he was racking his brain to think of another sentence. Suddenly, he heard a sob coming from not far away. He immediately raised his head, frowned, and asked, "who"s there?"
As soon as these words were asked, the whimper immediately went silent. As if the person found themselves exposed, so the person immediately m.u.f.fled their voice.
Fifth Master Lu slowly turned the beads in his hand and quietly hooked his lips.
Having the guts to hide there and eavesdropping, yet accidentally make a sound….. Was the person actually stupid or purposefully let out a sound?
He slowly got up and held Lu Xingzhou"s shoulder. Obviously he didn"t use much strength in his hand, but he firmly nailed Lu Xingzhou to the stone chair, making him unable to move. Lu Xingzhou was shocked and uncertain, " Fifth Master? Do you need me to call someone….."
Fifth Master Lu liked the quietness, so when they came to the courtyard, Lu Xingzhou purposely withdrew the bodyguards. He thought that no one would come. Who would have thought that someone would eavesdrop on them!
"No need." Fifth Master Lu shook his head and walked towards the source of the sound. Lu Xingzhou hesitated for a few seconds and followed up.
He wasn"t worried that Fifth Master Lu would be in danger, rather he was worried that this demon, who was feared by the whole Lu family, was temporarily in a bad mood. If he did something out of his temper, even ten Lu Xingzhou couldn"t control the scene during that time!
Fifth Master Lu accurately found the rockery where Situ was hiding. When he was looking down, he caught a glimpse of a portion of a pure white skirt from the crevice of the stone. It was obvious that a woman was hiding there.
Hiding it so badly? Fifth Master Lu suddenly felt a little disinterested. The fun of a cat-and-mouse game was that the mice were good at running away. If you could saw it at a glance, wouldn"t the pleasure of chasing and running away be greatly reduced?
He originally thought that the eavesdropper was a big mouse, but it turned out to be a little ant. Fifth Master Lu"s mood suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley. He was not a man of good temperament. He turned the beads in his hand and said, "come out".
When the cat entered the fake mountain, Siyu was crying. Just now she also wanted to come out, but her legs were soft and she couldn"t move. Moreover, under the pressure of a large amount of bad fortune, Siyu was dizzy and her whole body was hooting in pain. She"s afraid that she"s lacking the strength to do so.
Seeing that the people at the pavilion noticed that something was fishy and they were about to look around, with a little energy left, Siyu moved into the gap between the fake mountains and prayed that she would not be found out. It"s just that heaven didn"t fulfill people"s wishes. When the footsteps outside stopped in front of the rockery, Siyu knew she was doomed.
That cold "come out" burst at the side of her eardrum. Perhaps it was because Fifth Master Lu drew near, the dense bad luck practically pounced on Siyu"s. The hands that were covering her mouth tightened, but she could hardly restrain the impulse to vomit blood.
No, I can"t, I can"t continue on like this. I"m going to die! Obviously, the air in the courtyard was pure and fresh, but right now, Siyu seemed to be suffocating. Finally, she couldn"t bear it any longer. With one hand covering the lip and another pulling up the skirt, she rushed out of the gap, trying to run back to the hall.
She wanted to breathe in good luck. Save me!
It"s a pity that Siyu"s careful thinking had long been calculated by Fifth Master Lu. At the moment when she rushed out, Fifth Master Lu stretched out his hand and stopped her on the way. Thus, Siyu was like a moth casting herself into the net and directly rushed into the big net that Fifth Master Lu had finely weaved from an earlier time.
The arms across her waist were firm and powerful, they easily grabbed Siyu"s soft waist and lifted her up. Siyu was confused for a moment, when she finally responded, the whole person was already hanging in the air and was carried in midair like a chicken¹!
"Leaving without saying a h.e.l.lo, where are you going in such a hurry?" Fifth Master Lu"s eyes were half narrowed. He looked down at the little girl who was fleeing in a hurry. He saw that the little girl"s face was deathly pale and ghastly. He didn"t know whether the girl was frightened or something else. Her almond-shaped eyes went wide because she was suddenly high up in the air. There"s tears in her eyes, but she was thoroughly stunned and dazed. Her pupils were slightly red, like a little rabbit that had been eating gra.s.s obediently but was caught by a beast.
The little girl"s clothes were thin and the material for her long white dress was flimsy. Therefore, Fifth Master Lu could easily feel the chill of her body through the arm around her waist. This reminded Fifth Master Lu of a piece of white marble sent by his subordinate. It was also so cool. He played with it for a while, but a dead thing is a dead thing. Not long after that, that piece of white marble wasn"t liked by him anymore. It was put aside and neglected.
Right now, this timid little girl, holding her like this somehow conformed to his taste. It was light and soft. The most important thing was the coolness of her body was very appropriate. Because of his body, he was in a state of burning heat all year round. Normally, he would frequently collect cool things. However, it was hard to find such things. Even if they were found, they would merely cure the symptoms, not the cause.
Fifth Master Lu fundamentally didn"t like a weak and useless thing. But, because Siyu"s body was cold and could relieve the heat in his body, Fifth Master Lu didn"t fuss about it. His other hand which was holding the beads pinched Siyu"s chin. The strength was gentle but he nearly couldn"t resist the urge to break her small face.
"Not talking, eh?" It ended with a smiling expression, but there was a trace coldness lurking in there.
"wu——", Siyu instantly lost her balance and instinctively used both hands to hold tightly on the arm wrapped around her waist. However, because of this, the impulse to vomit blood that she had been arduously trying to suppress, now all surged up. Siyu lowered her head and began to unceasingly cough up blood. Because they were too close, some of the blood inevitably splashed on Fifth Master Lu"s body. On his pear white Tang suit bloomed "a red plum".
Siyu"s cough was earth-shaking and blood was gushing out like money. Her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were awfully aching. Her anger gave birth to courage. She wiped the blood on her lips with the back of her hand and rubbed it on Fifth Master Lu"s clothes.
It"s all this guy"s fault! His whole body was covered with ominous luck and it caused her illness to onset again. He even stopped her from leaving. He was insane!
Fifth Master Lu: "……" He looked at the little girl who was smearing on his clothes with a face full of confidence. He slowly started to laugh.
When Lu Xingzhou saw this scene, his heart almost stopped: "……" This girl is so brave! What to do? Won"t he kill to silence her? !
1: I found a random picture on google. So Fifth Master Lu was carrying Siyu with one hand like this:

Siyu didn"t notice the existence of Lu Xingzhou. At this moment, her waist was hugged by the tall man and practically her whole body was drowned into that person"s embrace. At such a close distance, she even could smell the light sandalwood fragrance from Fifth Master Lu"s body. It was light yet particularly pleasant to smell.
But most importantly, Siyu felt that if she continued to stay here any longer, she would vomit blood until she died.
"Let… cough cough, let me down….", As soon as Siyu spoke, she couldn"t help but cough up blood and her voice was intermittent. Although she tried hard to keep up her imposing manner, when it actually reached Fifth Master Lu"s ear, it sounded soft and sticky. There"s no strength of deterrence at all.
Because she actually felt so sick, Siyu unconsciously held Fifth Master Lu"s arm tightly and quietly gasped for breath. She wanted to struggle free, but her legs were high up in the air and it made her unable to muster any strength. The arm around her waist was like iron. No matter how carelessly she thrashed her legs around, it remained as still as before. Siyu didn"t have much strength left after vomiting blood. After such a struggle, she couldn"t move anymore. She could only use both hands to prop herself against Fifth Master Lu"s chest, trying hard to increase the distance between them. Silently conveying her rejection.
Although… there wasn"t really any effect.
When using force didn"t work, Siyu, who had a strong desire to survive, guessed that this man ought to be weak with words. She could only speak in a soft voice with a hint of pleading and said, "Please, could you just keep a little distance from me… cough cough. If you are like this, cough cough, I couldn"t breathe easily….."
She couldn"t helo but m.u.f.fled her cough a few times. The ominous fortune was all around her and it surrounded her tightly. The man"s imposing air barged into her heart inch by inch. Siyu had never met such a fierce and pressing aura before. She felt that her heart uncontrollably beat faster—— she was scared.
Please excused her, regardless of past life or this life, she was a good law-abiding citizen and a qualified successor to socialism. Every day, she conscientiously stayed at home and drew her comic. Although she liked to draw a dog-blood story of a domineering president, it didn"t mean that she"s willing to meet such a person in her life.
Thinking like this, Siyu"s eyes went red with displeasure from these mental and physical double torture. She nearly cried and wailed "Mister, please let me go". However, her mouth only let out a little sob.
……It sounded like a cat"s mewled.
This pitiful appearance of a final struggle piqued Fifth Master Lu"s interest. He looked down. At present, the little girl"s almond-shaped eyes were red and the fear in her eyes was so obvious. He couldn"t pretend that he didn"t see it. Moreover, the appearance of Siyu vomiting blood from a moment ago, he saw it all. Fifth Master Lu was used to seeing b.l.o.o.d.y matters, so he could tell that Siyu was not pretending.
"You aren"t well?", Fifth Master Lu finally put Siyu back on the ground. However, in regards to that "stay away from me a bit" requirement from Siyu, Fifth Master Lu acted as if he never heard it. Not only did he not pushed the person away, Fifth Master Lu even used his hand to pull Siyu a little bit closer.
Siyu, whose feet just touched the ground, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, was instantly pressed close to the man"s chest. At once, there was a dumbfounded look on her face.
This confused expression seemed to amused Fifth Master Lu. A faint smile flickered on his lips. It"s a good thing that this fragile animal had some vigilance, but it"s naive to believe that the hunter would give up on their prey.
After that, Fifth Master Lu extended his hand that was still holding the beads towards Siyu. His palm was flat and he said," extend your right hand."
His tone was flat. It wasn"t a command, it was far superior to a command. Siyu was stunned. She looked down and saw that the stretched hand was beautiful and elegant, just like a work of art. But at this moment, how could Siyu had the mood to care about this. Her mind was filled with the thought of slipping away quickly. She just wanted to refuse, yet she suddenly discovered that the air around the person in front of her turned cold and the hair on her body all stood up.
Siyu was afraid of that huge evil luck that wanted her life on Fifth Master Lu"s body. At this moment, she was even more afraid until she trembled. Subconsciously, she obeyed his words and put her right hand on his broad palm.
Their skin instantly touched each other. The feeling of unbearable burning heat once again made a surprise attack on Siyu. It immediately made her come back to earth. After that, she found out that she had done a stupid thing —— Siyu tried to withdraw her hand back in a hurry, but it was too late. When Fifth Master Lu"s palm was closed, he effortlessly circled her thin wrist. His index and middle fingers closed up together and pressed down on Siyu"s pulse.
"Deficiency of both qi and blood, leading to the imbalance of yin and yang. Although there is no harm to life, it will bring many inconveniences in normal times. Were you born like this?" Fifth Master Lu was still inspecting Siyu"s lifeline. For her life gate to be pinched by other, Siyu was suddenly afraid to move. At first, when she heard Fifth Master Lu"s question, she was surprised for a while, and then she reacted.
This person was….. feeling her pulse?
Seeing that Siyu didn"t answer, Fifth master Lu didn"t mind too much and continued feeling the pulse under his finger. He said, " the medicine you are taking now will not help. Stop it."
As he said this, he announced one by one the traditional Chinese medicine that Siyu drank. The more Siyu listened, the more surprised she was. Because what he said was completely correct without missing any point! No….. it"s just a pulse. To actually know what kind of medicines she usually took from her pulse, is it really possible?
Unconsciously, Fifth Master Lu"s image in her heart had been upgraded from "unreasonable mental case" to "although unreasonable, he seemed to be a mental case with a skill". However, although his medical skill seemed to be extraordinary, in Siyu"s hear, that was still an existence that she must be far away from!
Siyu said cautiously, " I had always been taking these medicines. I-I can"t afford any that"s more expensive. Now, you can let me go….."
She moved her wrist around and still couldn"t struggle free.
This avoiding him in fright att.i.tude made Fifth Master Lu not happy. However, he meditated all year round, even if there was a big wave in his heart, it could not be seen by others. Therefore, he just lightly said, "It"s no use eating more of those inferior products. I"ll ask Xingzhou to send you some boxes of the top quality goods later."
Fifth Master Lu had never let any woman near him. However, at this moment, pulling Siyu into his arm, there didn"t seem to be any feeling of dislike that emerge and even felt very satisfied —— Of course, he wasn"t satisfied with Siyu, but with the cold temperature of her body. When he held her, he was very comfortable and it could effectively relieve his burning heat as if it had been customized for him.
Just like the white marble that he used to like very much, Fifth Master Lu thought that before he could find any replacement medicine, he could keep such a cool little girl as his human refrigerant. After all, living people were always more interesting than dead things.
Then, he glanced to the side and looked at Lu Xingzhou, who had been afraid of making a sound and trying to reduce his sense of existence since just now, "Xingzhou, did you hear it?"
Hearing Fifth Master Lu"s words, Lu Xingzhou hadn"t responded yet, and Siyu was already given a fright first. Could it be that he means that they will meet again later? No, I don"t want to!
Because of nervousness, Siyu spoke somewhat incoherently. She didn"t even know what she was saying, "don"t, no need, no need, as long as you stay away from me…."
As long as she could stay away from this great demon, she could go and absorbed some good fortunes, and be alive immediately!

Siyu"s inconsequent speech deepened Fifth Master Lu"s smile and made Lu Xingzhou"s heart who saw the looked in his eyes, secretly cried that it wasn"t good. These past few years, every person who disobeyed Fifth Master Lu, the gra.s.s on their grave would now already be two meters tall. Let alone defying his arrangement directly in front of his face…. Lu Xingzhou silently though, he had seen that once when he was young and frivolous, and that person"s fate…. Up to now, he didn"t dare to inquire about it.
Therefore, Lu Xingzhou only obediently responded, " Fifth Master, I know"
Just now, he was immersed in the conjecture whether or not he would be silenced. Right now, when he was brave enough to lift up his head, he finally had a clear view of Siyu"s appearance and couldn"t help but cursed in his heart: Is there such a coincidence? Isn"t this girl that Zhou Siyu who Fifth Master Lu personally ordered to "visit her house and apologize" ?! A few days ago, his staff submitted the detailed information of Zhou Siyu. Lu Xingzhou saw the picture countless time, he definitely wouldn"t recognize the wrong person!
What to do? Should I tell Fifth Master that this girl was the "benefactor" he respected a bit? Lu Xingzhoy distressedly thought. However, looking at the situation right now, If he opened his mouth, wouldn"t he hit Fifth Master"s face? If this happened then he would definitely be caught and drown in the river!
Lu Xingzhou was conflicted when suddenly, footsteps of high-heeled shoes were heard nearby. A figure rushed in through the stone path, followed by a female voice pretending to be calm, " Zhou Siyu, come out. I have something to talk to you!"
Xu Qingwan looked forbearing. She made a turn and appeared in front of the three people. She obviously didn"t expect that there were still other people in the garden. She followed Siyu"s figure all the way here and had acc.u.mulated a stomachful of dissatisfaction. Even before she came to a stop, she had already started bickering, "Zhou Siyu, don"t think that I don"t know your plan. According to your current status, what qualification do you have to attend Huanyi"s banquet party? You came here for the sake of latching on to the rich and powerful! You aren"t just climbing! Don"t think that your past history is a secret. If I tell Madame Ji of your despicable thoughts, believe it or not, there will be no place for you in the whole Jiang City. Ah-Lin, he also wouldn"t….." [T/N: she"s saying that siyu was not just seeking the support of the rich to climb up, but she was also selling her body]
Xu Qingwan had been drafting the speech in her head since she was coming here. Therefore, her words sounded very righteous. Although she couldn"t contact Duan Rulan and had been ignored by Ji Lin, Xu Qingwan still firmly believed that everything would return to its track. The most urgent thing was to finish off Zhou Siyu, this rotten beyond remedy woman!
After speaking in one breath, Xu Qingwan just realized that there wasn"t only Siyu standing beside the rockery, there were also two other men she didn"t know. She was stunned and hastily stopped talking.
However, although Xu Qingwan had never seen these two people, a person"s bearing and temperament could be sensed. Especially that man in Tang suit who was standing beside Siyu, he was so extremely attractive to Xu Qingwan. She had lived two lifetimes and met all kinds of excellent men. Ji Lin was also very dazzling. But, even if these people stood together, Xu Qingwan felt that they were not as dazzling as this man in the Tang suit. This man"s bearing didn"t burn the eyes, rather it was reserved, just like the depth of the sea that couldn"t be explored. [T/N: like it wasn"t too shiny until it burnt your eyes into crisp, but more like elegant and reserved kind of attractiveness]
Xu Qingwan almost reflexively put on the most graceful demeanor. She pursed her lips as if the person who was angrily interrogating just now wasn"t her. She stepped a little closer to Fifth Master Lu and there was a shy ripple in her eyes, "Excuse me, Mister, I didn"t know there was someone here. I just came to find a friend….."
Siyu was speechless and curled her mouth in disbelief. She covered her mouth and coughed quietly. The blood spilled from her lips. She was about to lift her hand to wipe it off, but another person had taken the lead. Siyu was stunned. She looked up and saw that Fifth Master Lu was using his finger to wipe the blood away. After that, he stared at the red stain on his fingertips. His expression was too obscure to understand.
In his eyes, he saw Siyu. As if the stammering Xu Qingwan over there was just a ma.s.s of air.
"Since you are unwell, let Xingzhou send you back first. Is your villa over there empty?" The last sentence was asked to Lu Xingzhou. After getting a positive reply, Fifth Master Lu nodded slightly, " Go ahead and remember to get someone to boil a bowl of ginseng soup."
"Are you crazy?" Siyu finally couldn"t help it. She thought it was over. Who would have known that this psycho would want to abduct her on the spot? In the end, who is this man? He"s so lawless!
"Let go, Let me go back! I"m here with a friend. If she couldn"t find me, she would definitely call the police!" Good citizen Siyu couldn"t think of any threat for a short while and could only use the most primitive method. Although she was also uncertain in her heart, seeing the man"s calm appearance, reporting to the police probably wasn"t intimidating enough for him…..
As expected, Fifth Master Lu only made a faint "en" to show that he knew but didn"t waver from his decision at all.
"Mister!" This time, Xu Qingwan also opened her mouth. She stared at Fifth Master Lu"s hand that was holding Siyu"s waist. Somehow in her heart, she was uncomfortable looking at such intimate contact between the two of them. A man with such an extraordinary charm, one look and you would know that his origin wasn"t ordinary. How could Zhou Siyu know him? She deserves it too!
Xu Qingwan took two steps forward and directly stood in front of Fifth Master Lu. Her face was flushed red with blush and subconsciously stroke the hair on the side of her temples. She lowered her eyes bashfully and said," Mister, just let me support her to the lounge. Don"t need to trouble you. I"m her friend Xu Qingwan, nice to meet you. If you don"t mind when the dance starts, can I invite you to dance with me?"
Hearing Xu Qingwan saying her name, Siyu suddenly opened her eyes. Wait… Xu Qingwan? Xu Qing wan, the female lead of her comic book??
Wait, What"s the matter with Xu Qingwan"s shy little girl"s gesture? Shouldn"t Ji Lin be her boyfriend? How can she suddenly be smitten with another man? Siyu noticed Xu Qingwan"s expression and she didn"t feel good.
Siyu was digesting this information, but Fifth Master Lu was frowning in displeasure. This woman who suddenly rushed out while babbling nonsense was too dislikable for him to look at, let alone responding. Hence, he just turned his head and called out, "Xingzhou."
Lu Xingzhou immediately understood. He stepped forward and blocked Xu Qingwan"s undisguised look towards Fifth Master Lu. The prior frightened appearance when he was in front of Fifth Master disappeared completely, revealing the unique sharp temperament of the Lu family. In a low voice, he said," next time, don"t rush out without looking where you are going."
When the voice fell, Lu Xingzhou raised his hand. He did a clean chop and made Xu Qingwan fainted. After that, he grabbed Xu Qingwan"s back collar, carried her like a sack, and made a phone call. Within half a minute, several people in black came in quietly, picked up Xu Qingwan, and retreated quietly.
"Where are you taking her…." knowing who Xu Qingwan was, Siyu, this mother, couldn"t help but be a little bit terror-stricken. This scene of underworld manner was a bit too frightening!
"Rest a.s.sured, I only sent her to the guest room upstairs to have a rest." Lu Xingzhou looked back and suddenly didn"t know what to call Siyu. He quietly looked at Fifth Master Lu"s expression, but he couldn"t figure out what he was thinking and could only give up.
Xu Qingwan was taken care of and now it"s Siyu"s turn. No matter how she protested, it was useless. Some time ago, a group of people in black rushed out from nowhere and surrounded her. Even after she finally sat inside a low-key luxurious car, Siyu still didn"t understand how things got there. However, compared with Xu Qingwan, the difference in treatment was simply heaven and earth. Except that she couldn"t run outside, everyone was polite to her. Lu Xingzhou even especially spread out soft cushions and pillows on the place where she sat.
Siyu wanted to know about their background, but these people"s mouth was zipped tightly. They were all silent. Only Lu Xingzhou who occasionally gave her a word or two. However, when she mentioned about Fifth Master Lu, Lu Xingzhou would quietly shift the topic. He seemed to be very afraid.
At last, maybe because he was annoyed by Siyu"s inquiries, Lu Xingzhou couldn"t help but reply, " Oh, you can rest a.s.sured. As long as you are obedient, the fifth master wouldn"t kill to eat you."
After Siyu left Fifth Master Lu"s side, her body felt much better. Moreover, Lu Xingzhou who was sitting next to her had a very good fortune. After absorbing good fortune for a while, she finally recovered her energy. At this moment, hearing Lu Xingzhou"s promise, she quietly asked," what if he was prompted by a sudden impulse?"
"……." Lu Xingzhou inwardly though, this Fifth Master don"t have any interest in people"s life. What are you worried about? He answered thoughtlessly, "Oh, then you can just wash clean and wait."
Siyu: "…..! !" now I"m even more scared, okay? !
Riel: I hate how Xu Qingwan kept presuming things about Siyu. I know that the previous Siyu was thoroughly evil. However, wasn"t that because she was edged beyond redemption too? And why did she keep blocking people"s way???!!!! It"s frickin annoying!!! Moreover, she herself was openly showing her interest in another man!!! Isn"t she just two-faced?

She watched anxiously as the car drove to the outskirts of Jiang City. It became more and more remote. If the car hadn"t suddenly turned into a high-end villa residence, Siyu would have suspected whether or not Lu Xingzhou would tie and sell her.
"What"s with your expression?". After Lu Xingzhou brought her to the largest area of old European styled villas, he turned around and caught sight of Siyu"s indescribable expression, thus he asked.
Siyu intermittently whispered, "Illegal confinement isn"t allowed…."
The situation along the way had severely given Siyu a fright. How could ordinary people have such a large group of professional bodyguards, let alone having a villa here. Siyu once heard Yu Ling gossip that this area was the real "Power District" of Jiang City which couldn"t be bought by money alone. Lu Xingzhou brought her to this place, it"s no wonder that Siyu thought too much. It"s really a place that one couldn"t get in and out at will, in case she met with a mishap, even if she shouted every day, no one would answer. She really didn"t feel secure.
Siyu recalled that man in Tang suit who seemed to be gentle but actually domineering and powerful in secret. She couldn"t help but shivered. In the end, what"s the motive behind this mental case known as Fifth Master? !
"Illegal confinement?" Lu Xingzhou chucked, "If the Fifth Master had such a plan, would you still be standing here? Come on, why do you scare yourself? Fifth Master had said to let you come here and have a rest. Please go in and have a sit."
Surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black, Siyu tactfully swallowed back her words of argument and walked into the villa obediently.
Lu Xingzhou said that this wasn"t confinement, and he actually didn"t lie. After learning that Siyu"s phone fell in the hotel, he immediately asked someone to get a new phone for her, which mean they didn"t restrict her from communicating with the outside world. Then, he asked the people to serve her the bowl of ginseng soup that had been prepared from an earlier time and personally supervised Siyu bitterly drank the whole ginseng soup. He was finally relieved.
This girl"s body was too weak, Even Lu Xingzhou was stunned by the crazy fit of vomiting blood from a prior time. He didn"t understand. What made Fifth Master take a fancy on this fragile little girl?
After pondering about it, since Fifth Master Lu was interested in Siyu, Lu Xingzhou thought of taking this opportunity to immediately sign Siyu into Huan Yi. the person was right in front of his eyes, so there shouldn"t be a problem.
As the head of Huanyi, Lu Xingzhou had no problem if he wanted to sign such a small model into the company. He asked straightforwardly, "Would you like to get into Huanyi? I know that your model company right now makes use of your contract to blackmail you into paying twenty million yuan. As long as you are willing to change employment, Huanyi could help you pay off this penalty. In addition, the new contract could give you more freedom. What do you think?"
Siyu had just drunk a bowl of ginseng soup, but when she heard this, she nearly sprayed out, " Why do you want to sign me all of a sudden?" and why did you speak so certainly?
With that, Siyu slightly widened her big eyes and suddenly reacted, "wait, wait, are you an upper official of Huanyi?". She sized Lu Xingzhou up and then thought of these people"s show of extravagant before. What else did she not understand, "are you…. a member of the Lu family?"
Lu Xingzhou indifferently answered, "Oh, the news spread so fast, ah."
Siyu: "……" c.r.a.p, I just got jinxed.
Siyu still remembered that Yu Ling tried hard to make her build a connection with Huan Yi. It"s because the backer of Huanyi was too powerful, and this backer was the Lu family of Rong city.
At that time, when Siyu was drawing the comic, because the Lu family was just a piece of background story, Siyu did as she pleases and she put all the most powerful settings she could think of on the Lu family. Now, Siyu just wanted to traversed back and give herself a slap: being so unrestrained, aren"t you going to regret it? Do you want to attract troubles?
Thinking that she had just purposefully vomited blood on that Fifth Master Lu"s clothes, Siyu"s expression went rigid. She uneasily kept her eyes closed and pried about mildly, "Your Fifth Master Lu……… does he usually have a good temperament?"
Lu Xingzhou took a look at her. His gaze was deep. Then, he sighed. The sighed startled Siyu, "Let"s not talk over this question, shall we?"
As if touching some kind of truth, Siyu who was praying for herself, "…….okay"
The two people tacitly stopped talking about the subject and pretended that nothing had happened. Lu Xingzhou continued to ask, "Now that we"ve talked up to this point, would you like to sign into Huanyi?"
Siyu: "If I say that it may not be appropriate….."
Lu Xingzhou smiled faintly, and there was somewhat a vague impression of Fifth Master Lu in him, "If you are willing, we will have friendly cooperation together. If you aren"t willing, then I will go to your company and buy you from them. Do you understand?"
In the end, he was still a member of the Lu family. In substance, their genes wouldn"t yield to others. Even though Lu Xingzhou looked young and vigorous, but when dealing with matters, he actually didn"t leave Siyu any option at all. In any case, signing Siyu was a matter of certainty. All along, her personal will was never considered.
After hearing this, Siyu was distressed. She had to temporarily rest after running back and fro to the bathroom to vomit blood. After cleaning the bloodstain, she finally calmed down.
Right now, it"s not a matter of whether she"s willing or not. Hidden from the public, the Lu family power was far greater then what people could imagine. Meeting force with force was undoubtedly courting death by overestimating oneself. Moreover, it"s just signing a contract with Huan Yi. It was a good thing for her as long as she stayed far away from that Fifth Master.
After thinking through, she didn"t entangle herself any longer and agreed to sign the contract. Lu Xingzhou was very efficient. He immediately asked someone to fax the contract. Siyu saw that the contract indeed gave a very preferential treatment towards her. She had the right to choose her job independently and the deduction percentage was also very low. It simply wasn"t something that someone in a rank like her could take a hold on.
To this, Lu Xingzhou explained, "Huanyi doesn"t lack the money to raise an idle person."
The things that Fifth Master took a fancy on, whether it"s a living person or a dead thing, the Lu family would arrange them appropriately and treat it as spending money to support him. In the past, Fifth Master"s interest in a similar thing would last to three months at most. Lu Xingzhou thought that this Siyu who had nothing but beauty, a sick beauty whose body was too weak, would at most retain Fifth Master"s interest for one month. This contract with Huanyi could be regarded as remuneration for Siyu.
Hearing Lu Xingzhou"s words, Siyu didn"t feel much. Her aspiration wasn"t staying in the entertainment circle, but staying at home to draw. Siyu was satisfied enough that there"s someone who was willing to pay for her penalty.
Both sides had no objections and the matter was settled quickly. After taking the contract that was freshly signed, Siyu sighed ruefully. Yu Ling had helped her with every means possible to build a connection with them. If she knew that she directly jumped over these steps, who could know what she will feel.
After all the arrangement was done, Lu Xingzhou immediately left. After all, he was the new president of Huan Yi. There were still many things to do at the banquet. If Fifth Master Lu hadn"t ordered him personally, Lu Xingzhou wouldn"t have done such a trivial thing as picking people up.
As soon as Lu Xingzhou left, several bodyguards left behind by him tacitly withdrew from the villa and stood at the courtyard to guard. Siyu originally still thought whether she could secretly sneak away or not. However, when she looked out from the window, the only exit was firmly guarded, so she had to give up the idea.
Sitting back on the sofa, Siyu opened the new phone sent by Lu Xingzhou"s people. She wanted to contact Yu Ling and tell her that she"s safe and sound. After all, she was suddenly taken away from the banquet. Yu Ling must be very worried. However, she soon found out that she couldn"t recall the phone number. Without any better option, she did the second-best thing. She logged in to Weibo and send Yu Ling a private message. Telling her that she had to leave earlier, so she didn"t have to worry.
After more than ten minutes, the private message still remained unread. Siyu estimated that Yu Ling was busy, so she switched to the account of "A Koi That Can Live For Another Five Hundred Years" and sent out a Weibo post:
A Koi That Can Live For Another Five Hundred Years: sob, sob, sob. I was captured by a great devil. Today"s 《Fashion Strategy》update would be delayed. Sisters, wish me that I could safely return QAQ

Siyu"s comic had a stable update every other day. At present, the serial had reached more than ten chapters. Originally, there was supposed to be another update today, but she was suddenly taken to this place, so she could only delay it to another day.
During this period, Siyu was getting angrier and angrier. If she had not run into Fifth Master Lu, she wouldn"t be abducted so innocently. Not just that, She also wouldn"t have unceasingly vomited blood. Now, she couldn"t even walk away. As an artist, the best way for Siyu to vent her anger was naturally to draw. She wandered around the villa, found a pen and paper, and swish-swish-swish she drew a gloomy image of the great devil.
After that, Siyu engraved several large words "The crazy great devil that caught me" on the paper. She then took a photo, uploaded it on Weibo, and added the words: "This is the person who ate my update!"
After secretly venting off like this, Siyu immediately felt much better. She admitted that was afraid and didn"t dare to curse him face to face.
Siyu"s readers were originally crying piteously for food on Weibo. They kept refreshing the page countless times. Unexpectedly, after the refresh, there came out a piece of post that announced the postponement. The Weibo immediately exploded. Something like "Koi is procrastinating again", "the procrastinated author should be roasted and eaten by the Devil", and other comments like that instantly came pouring in. Siyu took a glance and boldly ignored it.
She also didn"t want to, blame that mental case!
Siyu wanted to wait until Fifth Master Lu came back and nicely asked him, in the end, what did he want to do. However, the biological clock that was formed over a long period of time, made her feel sleepy. After sitting for a short while, Siyu reclined on the sofa and fell asleep.
When Fifth Master Lu treaded on the moonlight and entered the villa, he saw the little girl curled up in a deep sleep. Half of the white dress was on the sofa, half was hauled to the floor, revealing a part of the quiet and lovely little face.
When Fifth Master Lu saw that, he felt it was rather amusing. He always liked the quietness and his living place, unless he nodded his head, there wouldn"t be anyone who could draw near. Therefore, this is the first time he carefully observed other people"s sleeping face. For a moment, he felt somewhat novel.
He walked closer and sat on the sofa. As soon as he got closer, Fifth Master Lu felt the coolness emanating from Siyu. It was like approaching a piece of ice and it felt very comfortable. However, this was not enough. Fifth Master Lu scrutinized the little girl who was sleeping on the sofa for a while. He stopped twisting the beads in his hand and reached out his hand to brush away the strand of hair from Siyu"s forehead. His finger slid all the way down and finally stopped on her lips.
Siyu had lost too much blood. Her lips were pale and still had a very suitable amount of coldness. Fifth Master Lu gently pressed it. The feeling under his finger was somewhat like a fresh jelly just taken out of the refrigerator. At this moment, the indifferent look in Fifth Master Lu"s eyes slightly faded away, revealing a bit of humane interest.
However, the little girl he was holding frowned and twisted her body as if she wanted to get rid of his hand. This kind of subconscious rejection made Fifth Master Lu unhappy. He was an extremely restrained person. He originally intended to take back his hand and just sat beside Siyu for a while to relieve the burning heat. However, Siyu"s struggle right now, made him change his plan. He pulled Siyu"s bony shoulder and directly embraced the person!
When Siyu was dreaming, she suddenly sensed a burst of violent feeling hitting her. She almost instantly awakened and opened her eyes. Her throat was filled with blood. When Siyu had a clear view of the person who was holding her, She coughed up the blood in her throat immediately. However, she couldn"t care about these and immediately used her hand and feet to crawl out of Fifth Master Lu"s embrace. She as quickly as possible retracted to the corner of the sofa and frightenedly said, "you, you don"t come closer!"
Fortunately, this time Fifth Master Lu didn"t constrain her. Siyu slowly took a breath. When she saw the huge black luck behind Fifth Master, her legs couldn"t help going soft. She wanted to cry without tears. In such a short time, she had received two losses. She was really out of luck!
"Fifth Master, you sit there, and let"s have a good talk." Siyu cautiously glanced at him and saw that he had no reaction. Then he put down her skirt and quickly went to the furthest sofa on the corner of the living room. When he was far away, that feeling of shortness of breath was finally gone. Siyu"s courage became a bit stronger, "When you are close to me, my mood was more likely to be stirred up….."
Fifth Master Lu narrowed his eyes. It was hard to distinguish happiness and anger from his expression, "are you very afraid of me?"
He knew that everyone in the Lu family was afraid of him. Because his methods were ruthless, his six siblings didn"t recognize him. He also knew that all the other prominent business families were afraid of him. Because his moods were unpredictable and he was ruthless. But generally speaking, being able to see him, a person with status, that person standing wouldn"t be low either. When he came, he read the information about Siyu sent by Lu Xingzhou. The girl"s family was very poor because of the special condition of her body. So normally, she wouldn"t be able to meet him.
Since she didn"t know, if Siyu could sense his dangerousness through a mere intuition, then that would be interesting.
Siyu didn"t know what Fifth Master Lu was thinking. She looked at this master"s expression and instinctively knew that if the answer to this question wasn"t something good, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, she considered for a while and said, "as long as you are not too close, I"m not afraid."
Although she still felt uncomfortable with being only a few meters away from Fifth Master Lu, it was still in the range of Siyu"s acceptance. After all, at the very beginning, she still survived when she hadn"t found out the method of absorbing good luck.
It"s just hard to become frugal after being accustomed to luxury.
The answer made Fifth Master Lu smiled a little. In fact, he was curious why Siyu was so afraid of him and even this fear was a little strange. He had seen many women who voluntarily approached him, yet he had never seen a little girl like this who not only was smart but also would faint whenever she got close to him.
However, this didn"t matter. He had plenty of time to solve the mystery slowly.
"Put this on." Thinking up to here, Fifth Master Lu didn"t fuss about the matter of Siyu telling him to stay far away. At any rate, as long as he is in the same room with her, he could still felt very comfortable. Then, he tossed a wooden box to Siyu, which accurately landed into Siyu"s arm. When she looked over in surprise, he lightly said, "It"s useful for easing one"s mind and conserving one"s vital. It will be beneficial for you. Wear it."
Siyu then carefully opened the box and saw a sandalwood bracelet lying inside. She could smell an unusually sweet fragrance when she sniffed it carefully. Looking at the material, it seemed to be very similar to Fifth Master Lu"s string of beads.
Siyu didn"t dare to ask if she was allowed to not wear it. She picked the bracelet up and put it on her wrist. It was just the right size like it was made on her measure. Who knew whether it was just her misconception or not, but after putting on the bracelet, Siyu actually felt so relaxed and she became much more clear-headed.
Thinking that Fifth Master Lu just said that this was for easing one"s mind and conserving one"s vital, Siyu guessed that this string of bracelet must be of great value.
Seeing her putting it on, Fifth Master Lu seemed pleased and beckoned Siyu to come over. Siyu was originally thinking of refusing even unto her death, however, after catching sight of the chilling smile on Fifth Master Lu"s face, the sense of crisis belonging to herbivores sounded an alarm. Thus, Siyu was forced to obediently walk closer.
Before she came to a stop, she was grabbed strongly by Fifth Master Lu and stuffed to his side.
"Sit here for fifteen minutes, then I"ll send you back; or stay here for a night. You can choose between the two." Fifth Master Lu swirled the beads and kept his eyes closed. He wasn"t worried that Siyu could escape.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Siyu weighed the options and felt that rather than prolong the agony, she preferred to get the pain over with. She had to bear the urge of coughing up blood and sat right beside Fifth Master Lu. She was careful not to let the two people touch one another. That "had no choice but to compromise" expression looked exactly like a child punished by an adult.
Fifth Master Lu lifted his eyelid and lightly glanced at Siyu. He saw that her eyes were turning around smoothly, but her hands and feet didn"t dare to move, and her back was very straight. He couldn"t help but raised the corner of his mouth. [AKA smiling]
What a really rare sensible girl!
