“If you understand I will let you go immediately,” said Lu Yī respectfully.

  Lu Xiwei looked up and chuckled frostily. “Would I dare not to understand that?”


  Lu Yī gave a light smile. “All is well if Ms. Xiwei understands. Release her.”


  “Understood.” The bodyguards immediately stepped forward to undo the ropes binding her.

  Lu Xiwei’s expression was icy as she ripped the ropes off. She threw them on the floor and strode out of the basement……

  At Lu Chengzhou’s courtyard.

  It was a villa with three rooms: a study, a bedroom and a living room. It was a huge villa.

  Lu Chengzhou pushed the door to the bedroom open. The entire bedroom was cleanly decorated in black and white. The heavily ascetic style suited Lu Chengzhou’s image.

  “Rest up on the bed.” Lu Chengzhou pointed towards the black bed with his chin.

  Gu Mang pursed her lips. Her clear, bright gaze landed on the genuine leather sofa and she said in a low voice, “I’ll sleep on the sofa. Tell me when the old grandmother wakes up so that I can check on her again.”


  Lu Chengzhou did not get pushy and retrieved a blanket from the wardrobe and held it out to her. “It’s new.”


  “Thanks.” Gu Mang placed the vacuum flask on the coffee table, took the blanket, turned around, and walked towards the sofa.

  She shook the blanket out and lay on her side facing the door, then shut her eyes. Lu Chengzhou watched Gu Mang’s fluid movements and could not help but smirk. The girl’s long and dense eyelashes cast a shadow on the area under her eyes which were slightly tinted with green. Her skin was very fair.

  Beautiful.

  Lu Yī noticed that his young master was staring at Ms. Gu when he walked through the door of the bedroom.

  He did not want to disturb his young master’s admiration of the beauty.

  He was about to leave when Lu Chengzhou turned his head. Lu Yī froze in his spot as he watched his young master walk out of the room with a hand in his pocket, gently pulling the door closed behind him.

  In a respectful tone, Lu Yī said softly, “Young Master Lu, Ms. Xiwei has been dealt with and Doctor Yu has dropped her as his student.”


  There was a chilliness bundled in the depths of Lu Chengzhou’s inky black eyes. “Lu Xiwei is not allowed near grandmother in the future.”


  “Understood,” said Lu Yī.

  After a two-second pause, Lu Chengzhou instructed, “Get the kitchen to prepare something sweet.”


  The corner of Lu Yī’s eyes twitched. “Understood.”


  What’s this now? Was his young master getting serious?……

  After sleeping for an indeterminate amount of time, Gu Mang opened her eyes and sat up slowly. The blanket started to slip from her body but she caught it and put it back on the sofa. Opposite her was Lu Chengzhou who was half leaning against the bed with closed eyes. She wasn’t sure if he was sleeping or not.

  Gu Mang pinched the corners of her eyes and walked towards the balcony with light steps. Taking out a cigarette from her pocket, she lit it and placed it by the corner of her mouth.

  She then leaned against the white arabesque railing and took out her phone to play a round of games. Her long hair hung from her back carelessly as her face was shrouded in smoke. Her silhouette was hazy, giving her a mystical quality. Her eyelids hung low, making her look relaxed.

  She looked pretty cool too. Lu Chengzhou observed her quietly. He had seen plenty of women smoke. Gu Mang, however, was the only one who looked both innocent and seductive while doing it. He did not know what had gotten into him that day that made him think she was on a date with Lu Yang when he learned that they went to the mall.

  Gu Mang probably didn’t even view Lu Yang as his brother at all. She probably viewed him more like a giant baby. Suddenly, Gu Mang lifted her gaze and looked over casually. Her clear and pure eyes looked as tranquil as a deep, cold lake. The depths of her pitch black eyes not only emanated coldness that chilled one to the bone but also a wicked quality.

  Lu Chengzhou’s gaze froze for a moment. Gu Mang’s eyebrows cocked slightly. She bent over to extinguish her cigarette in an ashtray before walking back into the bedroom casually. Every movement looked sassy and wicked as h*ll.
