The air in the car suddenly crackled with a strange tension.Mu Ling, who was driving, collapsed into silent laughter. His shoulders shook as he tried his best to control his mirth.He would have laughed out loud if Lu Shijin hadn't shot him a warning look from the back seat.Tang Ruochu's cheeks had turned bright red and even her slender neck was stained with a faint blush.Lu Shijin's eyes suddenly darkened as he added, "There's no need to worry. I don't like to take advantage of others, so I won't touch you until you're ready."He said this to alleviate her embarrassment but this was also a promise.Tang Ruochu immediately let out a sigh of relief.She looked at him gratefully. This was the first time she felt that she had made the right decision to marry him.He was a true gentleman and he wouldn't touch her if he had promised not to do so!She trusted him because he was Lu Shijin.He wasn't like Ji Yinfeng.Ji Yinfeng wasn't a man of his word. He had promised that he wo
It took them more than two hours to finish their romantic wedding dinner.They finished their dinner relatively early, so after Lu Shijin picked up the bill, he suggested staying on the hill to admire the night view before returning to the city later that night.Tang Ruochu didn't have any objections.Although this was just a marriage partnership, she had to admit that she was having a good time.More importantly, he seemed to have a calming effect on her and she was able to forget her troubles when she was with him.She found it amazing that he had this effect on her.She had only known him for less than a day, but for some reason, she felt at ease when she was around him.The night view from the hill was gorgeous. There was a gentle breeze and the stars and moon were clearly visible. Tang Ruochu and Lu Shijin went to the observatory to gaze at the stars before they went up the hill and explored some of the scenic spots.When the temperatures started to drop around 10 p.m. tha
Tang Ruochu moved out of her house the day after she had the argument with Tang Song.Lu Shijin sent Mu Ling to pick her up and Tang Ruochu couldn't help turning back to give the house one last glance as they left, and her heart felt heavy.This had been her home for more than 20 years, so she still felt reluctant to part from it.However, she didn't wallow in her sorrows for long.There was nothing left tying her to her home.Lu Shijin's mansion was in an area known as Royal Dragon View, located in the flourishing southern part of the city. However, it was in a quiet district away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The area within the gated community was beautiful with high-end facilities. It was also very well-guarded and discreet, so the prices were incredibly high. One might not be able to purchase a mansion in this gated community even if one had the money. Those who lived in this area were mostly rich and influential.Lu Shijin was present when Mu Ling dropped Tang Ruo
She stammered through her sentence and her voice was incredibly soft but Lu Shijin heard everything she said.There was suddenly a strange glint in his eyes as he asked, "Are you sure?""Yes," she said with a nod.Her cheeks were bright red and her exquisite features were so beautiful that even an artist wouldn't be able to replicate them. She looked extremely charming and beautiful at that moment.His heart raced and his lips curved upwards as he said, "Then I shall humbly accept your request."He gave in to his impulse, put down his wine glass, wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he bent down and planted a kiss on her lips."Boom—"Tang Ruochu felt as though something had exploded inside her mind and her thoughts went completely blank.His kiss was light and she could taste the wine on his lips but he seemed to draw her into a powerful spell. His mouth explored hers repeatedly and aggressively, robbing her of all thought.Her head buzzed
After she had breakfast, Tang Ruochu washed up and got ready to head to work. Lu Shijin was heading to his office as well, so he would drop her on the way there.After they reached Times Entertainment, Lu Shijin suddenly stopped Tang Ruochu and said solemnly, "I don't think your family will let this slide easily. Don't forget to call me anytime if anything happens over the next two days.""Sure. Thanks, Shijin.""I would very much prefer you to show your gratitude with actions and not with words, but since you seem to be doing well addressing me by my name, I will not force this issue for the time being," Lu Shijin said and his face broke into one of his rare smiles.Tang Ruochu blushed and then hastily said goodbye to him before she ran out of the car without a second glance.She signed in after she reached the office, went to her seat, and started to arrange her interview questions for the day. However, she had barely started when Song Anyi came by and dragged her away.Song An
"Ruochu and I are supposed to follow a lead in the afternoon. There are many others who have more time on their hands, so why can't you assign them to this instead?" Song Anyi piped up, her eyes flashing with anger."I've already assigned them to other duties. As for the news that both of you were supposed to be covering, I only need one of you to see this through. The engagement of the young master of the Ji Group to Gu Ruoruo is where all the action is right now, and this is the news that will attract the most views. We have to seize this opportunity no matter what," Lu Xiaolin said haughtily with her arms crossed."Let me go instead!" Song Anyi volunteered."Song Anyi, what do you mean by that? Do you have a problem with this arrangement?" Lu Xiaolin said sharply when she saw how stubborn Song Anyi was being.Song Anyi's expression darkened and she was about to make a sharp retort when Tang Ruochu, who had remained silent during the exchange, suddenly said, "Fine, I'll go!""Ru
Someone had noticed Tang Ruochu from the very beginning, and his gaze didn't waver as he observed her while maintaining a safe distance between them.He was a rather handsome man, and his white shirt and black tuxedo brought out his tall and handsome stature while making his legs seem extremely long.His features seemed even more well-defined under the bright lights that gently danced across his face. His eyes were as dark as the night, and he exuded an alluring and mysterious charm.Many young movers and shakers of high society were present at the event, but all these people paled in comparison to this man."Sir, the missus is over there. Shall we head over?" Mu Ling said respectfully."No, let's wait here. We'll only act when needed."Although Lu Shijin was extremely attractive, he kept a very low profile and he had deliberately selected this corner of the room to avoid attracting attention to himself."Noted!" Mu Ling nodded and held his tongue thereafter.Gu Ruoruo and Ji Y
Gu Ruoruo looked as stunning as she did before in her black gown, but what caught everyone else's attention was the necklace that rested on her collarbones.It was a dark-blue gem encircled by countless smaller diamonds. The design was very unique, and the top-notch craftsmanship made it obvious that this necklace was extremely expensive.No one was more familiar with this necklace than Tang Ruochu. This necklace used to belong to her mother, who had specially prepared this necklace as her future dowry.She couldn't believe that Gu Ruoruo had the nerve to wear this necklace!She was so overwhelmed with rage that her anger completely robbed her of her ability to think logically.She walked through the crowd angrily and marched right up to Gu Ruoruo. She leveled a furious glare at Gu Ruoruo before she said icily, "Who gave you the right to touch that necklace? Give it back right now! It belonged to my mom!""Your mom has already passed away. Now that my mom is the true mistress of
