Luo Ke spread his palms, "Look, I didn’t lie to you, Sissi, I won’t force you to do anything, you believe me... no one in this world loves you more than I do."

"Love me?!" Luo Xiaoqian sneered, "Fine, then let me leave here. Give me freedom, and I’ll believe you love me!"

"You know that’s impossible because I can’t lose you." Luo Ke stood up straight, a hint of anger already in his dark green eyes, "Sissi, you should know very well, I’ve been indulgent enough with you. If you keep being so willful, I can’t guarantee how much longer I can indulge you."

"I don’t need your indulgence." Luo Xiaoqian coldly interrupted him, "Luo Ke, let me be frank with you, if staying by your side is what you want, I’d rather die!"

A sinister look rose in Luo Ke’s eyes, "Even if you die, I will keep your body, and I will bind your soul. You can forget about ever seeing Leng Zimo again."

While the two were in a deadlock upstairs, a car had already driven into the courtyard.

Leng Zirui looked at the majestic old castle through the car window. His eyes caught Luo Xiaoqian’s silhouette with one foot over the railing on the second-floor terrace, causing him to sit up straight in confusion. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Downstairs, several henchmen from the castle stood under Luo Xiaoqian’s terrace, ready to catch her in case she fell. The butler was directing maids to carry sofa cushions to lay them out under the terrace.

"Butler, what’s going on here?"

Ah Ke and Leng Zirui got out of the car together, walking over to the crowd with curiosity.

"Luo Ke, I’m asking you one last time, will you let me go?!"

On the terrace, Luo Xiaoqian shouted loudly.

"Dream on!" Luo Ke stepped toward the terrace, "Sissi, I’m telling you again, get off the terrace now!"

He had endured her long enough, and Luo Ke’s patience was wearing thin.

Luo Xiaoqian?

Hearing her voice, Leng Zirui looked up at Luo Xiaoqian on the second-floor terrace.

As Luo Ke approached, Luo Xiaoqian nervously edged closer to the outside of the railing. The tip of her high-heeled shoes slipped, causing her body to sway violently.

With a gasp, Luo Xiaoqian instinctively grabbed onto the railing.

Her face turned partly downward, giving Leng Zirui a clear view of her profile. Recognizing her, his heart tightened.

Quickly surveying his surroundings, Leng Zirui dashed to the side, took two steps back, then ran and leaped, grabbing onto a protruding sculpture. With a swift movement, he swung and grabbed the railing of the second-floor terrace where Luo Xiaoqian stood. Flipping agilely, he landed on the terrace.

Feeling a presence beside her, Luo Xiaoqian turned her face in surprise.

Before she could figure out what was happening, Leng Zirui had already grabbed her arm. With a fluid motion, he pulled her off the railing and held her in his arms.

"You bastard, let me go, let go of me..."

Luo Xiaoqian hadn’t seen his face clearly and assumed it was one of Luo Ke’s henchmen. She struggled and kicked without reservation.

Feeling relieved after rescuing her safely, Leng Zirui silently sighed in his heart.

Ignoring her resistance, he walked briskly into the bedroom and gently laid her on the bed.

"Let go..." Luo Xiaoqian reached out again to grab him, but upon seeing his face, she was taken aback.

Leng Zirui!

What is he doing here?
