Let me be willful for you one last time
secret room. The study looked completely normal. 。This is a secret room where he and Gu Liechen have video conferences, discuss confidential matters, and exchange files. It ensures absolute confident...Lin Jinran felt herself falling into a sea of fire, the raging flames burning her whole body.
Waves of heat surged through her body, shattering her rationality. All that remained was the unbearable, desperate yearning to touch and soothe her burning skin.
When the flushed cheeks were touched by a cold object, Lin Jinyu instinctively grabbed it and pressed it against her face. Her bright red lips parted slightly, her voice soft and low with a helpless sob, "Ye Xiao, I'm so uncomfortable, I'm so uncomfortable!"
Half a while later, another low voice sounded, softly comforting her, “Don’t be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you, trust me.”
The voice was familiar to her, but her head felt fuzzy and she couldn't place who it belonged to.
For some inexplicable reason, she believed the speaker wouldn't harm her, that they would save her.

A light drizzle fell steadily for a whole day and night.
The next day, the azure sky was as clear as if it had been washed by water, showing no trace of yesterday's gloom.
Warm sunlight streamed through the glass, trying to reach inside, but was blocked by the drawn curtains. Unwillingly, it shone through a gap, forming a narrow beam of light on the white walls and floor.
In the dim bedroom, all was silent except for the sound of breathing.
The luxurious, spacious double bed still held Lin Jinran, her skin as white as snow, with a faint pallor of illness. She lay peacefully, like Sleeping Beauty waiting for a prince's kiss to awaken her.
On one side of the bed, stood a tall figure. He had been standing there for a long time, his gaze fixed on the person in bed, his eyes complex and unreadable.
"Young Master Mu, Miss Lin has been poisoned."
"Young Master Mu, Miss Lin's wound has opened up and needs to be stitched again."
"Mr. Mu, we found that Miss Lin..."
Yesterday's scene, like a movie, played back in Mu Shaocheng's mind. He received a call from the maid and drove here as quickly as possible.
Following the lead of Lin Jian's jump from the rooftop, a large-scale search was conducted along the way. Finally, in a low, dilapidated house and a dirty puddle, they found Lin Jian lying unconscious on the ground.
The moment Mu Shaocheng saw Lin Jinran fall into the water puddle, his chest felt as if it had been struck by a hammer. It was a mixture of heartache, self-blame, distress, and an overwhelming sense of suffocation.
Last night, he barely slept a wink. He stayed awake all night trying to save her, trying to make sense of the doctor's rushed words that had haunted him.
She actually...
His long fingers clenched into a tight fist, revealing Mu Shaocheng's displeasure and anger.
He ordered the doctor to keep his mouth shut, forbidding anyone from disclosing this matter, not even Lin Jinran.
Perhaps it won't be long before Lin Jinran finds out.
But for now, one day at a time will have to do.
If, on that day, Lin Jinran found out about this.
Mu Shaocheng's eyes darkened, a trace of unreadable emotion passing across them.
He slowly clasped Lin Jinran's fair and cold fingers, holding them tightly in the center of his palm to add a touch of warmth. He gazed longingly at Lin Jinran's sleeping face, his eyes softening by a few degrees.
This is a chance given by heaven, he must seize it, and it's also a test of Ye Xiao's and Lin Jinran's feelings.
If Ye Xiao and Lin Jinyan survive the test, he is willing to step down. Otherwise, he will take Lin Jinyan away from here and will never let go of him again.
Mu Shaochen lightly caressed her back, murmuring softly, "Jinyan, let me be willful for you one last time."darkness, Xiaohong opened her eyes and turned her head towards her younger sister. 。In the dimly lit room, you could faintly see your younger sister. You opened your eyes and looked in her direction....
