Going Crazy

"Rongrong, in this world, there's only me, and I will never scheme against you. I am the only person you can trust and rely on," Lu Qinian gently touched her hair, and with a faint smile, he recalled, "Do you remember last month when I fell ill? You anxiously stayed by my side the whole night."

That day, he suddenly fell ill after working continuously for a long time. In a daze, he heard her concerned voice, her whispers by his bedside, and the warmth of her small hand touching his forehead. He would never forget it. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw the surprise on the girl's face.

At that moment, it was also the first time he was lost in thought when he looked at a girl. Perhaps it was the sunlight that awakened him, but at that moment, she seemed to emit a radiant glow in his eyes. He finally realized that the child he had been protecting had unknowingly become remarkable, no longer just a child. At that moment, when their gazes met, Lu Qinian distinctly heard his own strong and forceful heartbeat, losing control for the first time in his life.

Li Rongrong also remembered that night when Lu Qinian suddenly collapsed without any resistance. He was too sick. She was completely scared out of her wits. She remembered that her mother was like this at the beginning. She suddenly fell down and never got up again. Therefore, she stayed by his side for the entire night, afraid that he would never wake up again.

As he reminded her, she recalled that it was indeed after that night that his attitude toward her became somewhat ambiguous. So, did it all start from that moment?

Her tone was somewhat resentful, "If I had known it would make you have such thoughts, I would have let you become a fool from the illness! I shouldn't have bothered with you."

Lu Qinian laughed, his deep black eyes fixed on her, "Rongrong, it's too late to regret now." If it weren't for that night, he feared he would have never noticed the changes in her, and perhaps he would have never realized that she was no longer just a child.

"You should eat properly now. When you're in a good mood, I'll send you back to school." Lu Qinian comforted her gently.

Even though the resentment in her heart had lessened, Li Rongrong didn't know how to face Lu Qinian for the moment. She glared at him and said, "I want to rest. Leave!"

Lu Qinian smiled helplessly, "Princess, once you calm down, have some food."

From that day on, Li Rongrong never stepped out of the villa again. Her freedom disappeared with a snap! Since Lu Qinian had uttered those ambiguous words, he no longer made an effort to conceal his true nature, completely revealing his masculinity. Li Rongrong couldn't resist anymore.

"Butler Bai, please, I beg you, let me go out!" Li Rongrong looked at Butler Bai pitifully, hoping that he would show mercy.

"Miss, please don't make it difficult for me. This is Young Master's order," Butler Bai said with a troubled expression.

Li Rongrong was infuriated! She couldn't help but touch the necklace around her neck. "Mom, is this Lu Qinian the person you asked me to find? Could there be another person with the same name?" Her phone had been confiscated, and she couldn't access any communication devices. She couldn't go out either. This kind of life was driving her crazy.

"Oh, right. Young Master asked me to show you some school information. Which school would you like to go to?" Butler Bai handed her several thick stacks of documents.

Li Rongrong's face immediately darkened, and she raised her hand, throwing the documents to the ground. "I don't want to look at them!" She wanted to leave this place. It was certain that Lu Qinian had chosen a school nearby.

"Are you throwing a tantrum again?" A deep male voice came from afar. The next second, Lu Qinian's tall figure appeared at the door.

Li Rongrong was in a bad mood when she saw him. She turned around and ran.

Lu Qinian, with his long legs, easily caught up to her. "I came back just to see you, and you're giving me a cold shoulder? You don't want to see the school information?"

Li Rongrong angrily retorted, "I didn't ask you to see me! Let go of me!"

Lu Qinian chuckled. "I wanted to see you, alright? I wanted to come back and see Rongrong. Okay, stop being mad at me. I only have half an hour, and I'll have to leave soon."

Li Rongrong stared at him. "What exactly do you want? I don't want to be locked up. I want to go out!"

"Let's have lunch," Lu Qinian said as he led her to the dining table. After dismissing the servants, he looked at her and said, "Your period is over, right?"

"What are you trying to do? I'm warning you, don't go too far! If my mom knew, she would haunt you in your dreams! She will bite you to death!" Thinking of some adult matters, her voice trembled slightly.
