Zhou Wanning had a nightmare. In it, Lu Jinzhou bullied her right in front of Zhou Leyu.
Furious, Zhou Leyu jumped off a building. Mother Zhou hit and cursed her, while Father Zhou shook his head in disappointment.
In an instant, the scene shifted to Lu Jinzhou fiddling with his phone.
Zhou Wanning had thought about calling the police, but she had gone with him willingly. Even after being drugged, she hadn’t resisted.
What’s more, Lu Jinzhou had those photos and videos of her.
He had deliberately shown them to her, even saying they were beautifully taken and that she looked stunning.
Zhou Wanning’s blood ran cold. Lu Jinzhou was a devil.
He had actually secretly taken such things.
“You’re my woman, so naturally, only I can see these. If you’re not, then I’ll let your teachers, students, and their parents see them too.”
At that moment, Zhou Wanning wasn’t just panicked—she felt a bone-chilling cold. “I am. Please, don’t show them to anyone.”
She was just an ordinary person. How could she bear the thought of her private photos being seen by others?
Especially since she had been drugged.
Others would only call her cheap and even say she had seduced Lu Jinzhou.
The next day, the alarm rang. Zhou Wanning got up, rubbing her eyes, and heard noises outside.
Had her parents returned?
She opened the door, only to see Lu Jinzhou arranging breakfast in the dining room.
She instinctively stepped back, even wanting to flee into her room and lock the door.
Lu Jinzhou looked up at her and beckoned. “Ningning, come see if this is what you like to eat.”
Zhou Wanning forced herself to walk over, her voice trembling. “How did you get in?”
The bathroom door was pushed open, and Zhou Leyu walked out.
“Sis, you’re awake. Let’s have breakfast together.”
Zhou Wanning wondered if she was still dreaming.
Zhou Leyu definitely hadn’t been home last night.
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Leyu looked suspiciously at the dazed Zhou Wanning.
“When did you come back?”
Zhou Leyu said, “Around three in the morning. I’ve been so tired these past two days. Jinzhou was worried about me and specially brought breakfast over. Sis, go wash up quickly. There’s so much food—let’s eat together.”
Zhou Wanning turned and entered the bathroom.
She picked up her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth, listening to the conversation between Zhou Leyu and Lu Jinzhou outside.
Lu Jinzhou told her not to overwork herself, but Zhou Leyu said she needed to work even harder to become better and stand by Lu Jinzhou’s side.
Later, Zhou Leyu said she was too sleepy and went back to her room to catch up on sleep.
After washing her face, Zhou Wanning was about to leave when Lu Jinzhou suddenly squeezed in.
She looked at him in panic. “What are you doing in here?”
Lu Jinzhou gripped her waist. “Wondering why you’re taking so long.”
Zhou Wanning didn’t dare speak loudly—the old house had poor soundproofing.
“Let go. Le Yu is still here. Aren’t you afraid she’ll hear?”
Lu Jinzhou leaned close to her ear, his voice like a demon’s whisper. “As long as you don’t scream, she won’t hear.”
“Mmph.” Lu Jinzhou had already cupped her face and kissed her.
She stared wide-eyed as he kissed her passionately.
How could he be so reckless? What if Zhou Leyu pushed the door open right now…
Noticing her distraction, Lu Jinzhou bit her lower lip.
“Ah…” She gasped in pain.
“If you’re distracted again next time, you’ll be punished again.”
There was a washing machine in the bathroom. Lu Jinzhou pressed her against it, and everywhere his hands touched felt like it was set ablaze.
It wasn’t desire, but anger—she felt she should be consumed by flames.
How could he do such a thing to her in her girlfriend’s home, with her girlfriend still present?
After kissing her enough, Lu Jinzhou helped her up and straightened her disheveled pajamas.
“Go eat, it’s all your favorite food.”
Zhou Wanning covered her lips, her legs weak as she walked out.
Sure enough, the dining table was filled with her favorite breakfast dishes.
But facing the delicious food, she had no appetite at all.
If she didn’t eat, would this man be unhappy?
After sitting down, she picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Does it still hurt?”
“Cough, cough.” Zhou Wanning, who was drinking soy milk, choked.
Lu Jinzhou didn’t mind and pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth. “Why are you so careless?”
Zhou Wanning snatched the tissue and remained silent.
But Lu Jinzhou wouldn’t give up, continuing to press, “Did you apply the medicine this morning?”
“I did,” she lied instinctively, too flustered to meet his eyes.
“I’ll check later.”
“Are you crazy?” she asked in a very small voice.
But Lu Jinzhou didn’t seem to care, patting the top of her head. “Le Yu is asleep.”
Zhou Wanning was pushed by him into her room. With a click, he locked the door from the inside.
Zhou Wanning hadn’t drawn the curtains in the morning, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtain box, not bright enough. Lu Jinzhou pressed the switch on the wall.
“I really did apply the medicine. I… I need to change and go to work, or I’ll be late.”
Lu Jinzhou glanced at the watch on his wrist. “There’s enough time.”
Zhou Wanning was pushed onto the bed. He pulled down her sleep pants, saw her underwear, and patted her hip. “You didn’t listen. I told you not to wear them.”
Zhou Wanning clutched the last barrier. “I… I’m really fine.”
“Let me see.”
…
Lu Jinzhou picked out a set of clothes from her wardrobe that covered her body well. “Wear this today.”
Was his control too strong? He even controlled what she wore.
But Zhou Wanning didn’t dare disobey.
After changing, he simply took her hand and walked out.
He had switched to a Maybach. The black body, like him, looked so steady.
“Get in,” he opened the passenger door.
Zhou Wanning got in the car. The plan she had thought of yesterday hadn’t succeeded.
Her parents weren’t home, Zhou Leyu was defenseless against him—where else could she hide?
A long arm reached over, startling her and making her lean toward the car door.
Her reaction displeased Lu Jinzhou greatly.
He pulled over the seatbelt and, with a click, fastened it for her.
“Th… thank you.”
“No need to thank me.”
Zhou Wanning only looked at the scenery outside the car window the entire way. She suddenly felt the road from home to school was so long.
Lu Jinzhou was dissatisfied with her constant gaze outside. “Is there anything good to see out there?”
His voice was low and hoarse, with no discernible fluctuation.
But Zhou Wanning could hear the displeasure in his words.
She had no choice but to turn her head and look straight ahead, occasionally glancing at him.
“You can just drop me off up ahead.”
Lu Jinzhou looked over, his profile tense. “Afraid others will see?”
Just last week, it was Luo Shuhang who picked her up. She didn’t need anyone to pick her up, but she couldn’t switch from Luo Shuhang to Lu Jinzhou so quickly.
What would people at school think of her?
“I just broke up with Luo Shuhang. If people at school see, it wouldn’t look good.”
“Broke up?”
Are you keeping that kind of man who won’t break up just to celebrate the New Year?
“Alright.”
He parked the car by the roadside she mentioned, gripping the back of her neck and kissing her lips. “So obedient.”
“I… I’m leaving.” She first glanced around to make sure there were no acquaintances nearby.
“I’ll pick you up after work.”
