The temperature in the room suddenly dropped to the freezing point, as if it was a cold mountain crossing.

Amidst the suffocating silence, she secretly clenched her fingers, unable to resist the wave of coldness that came from her back.

However, she still bit her lips and stubbornly refused to look back.

Zhuang Shilee maintained the posture of leaning against the sofa, his black eyes closely staring at that slender back, trying his best to calm the anger in his chest undulating up and down.

He admitted that he had been infuriated by the ruthless words she had tried to say to him. That damnable woman, after not seeing him for a year, not only did she not miss him as she had imagined, but she even felt cold and distant, as if he was just a passerby!

Ignoring the wound on his arm, he suddenly stood up and pulled her into his embrace with all his strength. His big hand pinched her thin and enchanting chin as he stared at her with his starry eyes, bringing all of her fear and uneasiness into his eyes.

Lin Qiuye pursed her lips tightly, doing her best to control her constantly trembling teeth, and then, she pretended to be calm as she looked him coldly in the eye.

After a long while, just when she thought that she was about to drown in that pair of deep black eyes, the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up.

"Lin Qiuye, I told myself before to let you go, but since fate allowed us to meet again, then I won't let go this time!"

He whispered word for word in her ear, as if he were speaking to her or to himself.

However, Lin Qiuye clearly knew, that the calmer his tone of voice was, the more furious his anger was.

"No …"

She let out a terrified cry of despair, unable to utter another word. She could only shake her head with all her might, trying to break free from him.

What the hell did he mean by not letting go?

No! No!

Ripple's eyes instantly filled with stubbornness. She would not let him succeed. It was not easy for her to start a new, bright life, and she would not allow anyone else to destroy it.

This time, she didn't have a request for him. He couldn't just rob her, right? But with his status as the Hegemon of the Extreme Dao, even if he did rob her, no one would do anything to him.

A loud and clear doorbell suddenly rang, interrupting the two people in the middle of the confrontation.

Lin Qiuye's heart skipped a beat, after that she looked at Su Yun worriedly. With his current injured state, it was impossible to tell whether or not the one outside the door was the one chasing him.

However, he only narrowed his eyes as he stared at the door. His entire being was like an elegant cheetah that exuded a dangerous aura.

"Open the door!"

As he spoke, he gave her a light peck on her red lips. The sweet taste of his kiss was irresistible to him. He wanted to hug her in his arms and give her a good hug.

Lin Qiuye's face flushed red as she hurriedly pushed him away. The only thing was that the current situation did not allow her to blush at all, her heart was beating wildly, and her pretty face was filled with worry.

"But what about you …"

He suddenly stretched out his hand and fondled her trivial short hair. The feeling of emptiness made his heart feel empty, but he still gave her a peaceful smile.

"Be good and don't worry, open the door!"

Lin Qiuye left him and rushed to the door as if she was escaping.

She felt that his ambiguous actions at this moment were more terrifying than those that might appear outside, because his every action reminded her of those four years of her mistress's life that she could not bear to look back on.

It wasn't because he was being unkind to her, but because he was being too kind to her.

He doted on her and doted on her, but this doting seemed to be lacking something. Right! It's too missing … It's really in there!

She had made up her mind to break off her relationship with the past, and he had not asked her to stay when the four-year contract expired.

Standing behind the door, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before slowly opening the door.

There were a few men standing outside the door with a murderous look on their faces. They were obviously people from the Dao.

"Can I help you?"

She calmly spoke to the person with fluent Xu Country.

The man outside clearly did not expect that the person who opened the door would be such a refined and elegant beauty, and actually speak in such profound language.

The leader was stunned for a moment before politely asking,

"Excuse me, miss, did you see a strange man enter your room?"

Lin Qiuye's hand that was supporting the door was drenched in cold sweat. She unconsciously turned around to look inside the room, but discovered that he was no longer there.

When he had told her to open the door, she had chosen to believe in him and believe that he would definitely escape this crisis unscathed.

She casually opened the door and gave the newcomer a faint smile.

"I'm the translator for this meeting of the Ministry of Agriculture. I just came back from work and didn't see any strangers. If you don't believe me, you can come in and take a look."

After saying that, she leisurely showed her work permit.

The man was about to lift his foot to search the room, but then he saw her work permit and his foot dropped again.

Among them, the biggest headache was that they had some past conflicts with the people they were organizing. This time around, the agricultural provincial council was extremely powerful. If they provoked this woman in front of them, they might not be able to make it in time.

The man raised his eyes and sized up the girl with a faint smile. He saw that there was nothing in her pitch-black eyes that could be seen to the end. There was no lie, no deception.

Moreover, if such a weak woman had seen Zhuang Shilee, who was like an Asura of the Infernal Realm, she would have already turned pale in fright. Furthermore, with how calm and composed she was right now, it was likely that nothing had happened.

Carefully standing at the entrance, he scanned the luxurious room once around. He swallowed his saliva, and once again, he looked at that beautiful face with nostalgia.

"Sorry to disturb you!"

Then, he turned around and left.

She kept smiling until she saw them into the elevator and then closed the door. Then she looked out uneasily, and when she was sure they were gone, she closed the door and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Releasing her pretense of calmness, she powerlessly leaned against the wall behind her, trying to find something to support her paralyzing body.

However, what greeted her was not the solid wall, but a hot, broad chest.

Before she could relax, her body tensed up again, every cell in her body emitting a vigilant aura.

"Be good and relax …"

He hugged her from behind, pressing his head against her soft neck, his voice muffled.
