Li Rongrong flipped through the documents on the table in boredom. Once upon a time, Jing Capital University had been her dream school, but she gave up on it because it was too close. But now? Her mind was elsewhere, and she didn't know what she should do. Should she just accept Lu Qinian's arrangement? But staying in the Jing capital meant that she might never be able to escape from him. However, if she didn't choose, she was genuinely afraid that this lunatic would let her have a child, and that was too terrifying...
Li Rongrong sat by the window lost in thought for the entire afternoon. It wasn't until the evening that she suddenly heard some commotion downstairs.
"Is it okay for you to stay here?" Butler Bai's voice came, sounding quite humble.
"Where does Qinian live? I want to be closer to his room." It was a sweet female voice.
Li Rongrong was a little stunned, and then Butler Bai's hesitant voice followed from downstairs. "I'm sorry, but the upstairs is Young Master's exclusive..."
The woman let out a soft snort, seemingly unconcerned. After a while, she exclaimed in surprise, "Why are there women's shoes here?"
Butler Bai hadn't even had a chance to respond when Li Rongrong heard footsteps coming up the stairs!
"Miss Zhuoyue!" Butler Bai seemed to want to stop her, but it was too late. The next second, Li Rongrong's door was pushed open!
The woman outside the door was wearing a short black skirt, tall and alluring, with exquisite makeup! She was shocked when she saw Li Rongrong. "Since when did Qinian have a woman around him?"
Butler Bai, who was following behind her, explained with a forced smile, "This is the daughter of a friend of the Young Master's, Miss Li."
"A friend's daughter?" The woman scanned Li Rongrong up and down, politely greeting her. "Hello, I'm Lu Zhuoyue, Qinian's sister."
"I'm Li Rongrong." Lu Qinian had a sister? At that moment, Li Rongrong realized that she had never truly understood his family.
The woman in front of her was a full head taller than her. Compared to her sexy outfit, Li Rongrong was wearing a plain top, long pants, and canvas shoes. She looked especially young and immature. They were like a sexy goddess and a little girl next door.
Lu Zhuoyue smiled, her eyes filled with charm and tenderness. "I never expected Qinian to have a little sister. I've known him for so long, but it's the first time I've discovered how caring he is."
Butler Bai coughed a few times. "Miss Zhuoyue, Young Master will be back soon. Please wait patiently. Let's go downstairs."
"No rush." Lu Zhuoyue waved her hand and then smiled as she asked Li Rongrong, "Little sister, how old are you?"
"I'm 20."
"Wow, you're already 20. You don't look like it. I thought you were underage..." Lu Zhuoyue sighed. "But by following Qinian, you've suffered."
Li Rongrong looked at her with confusion.
Lu Zhuoyue smiled gently. "Qinian is so aloof. You have to muster your courage to talk to him. It must be difficult for you to spend time with him." She glanced at the books on her desk and winked at Li Rongrong. "I won't disturb you then. You can continue reading."
Li Rongrong gazed at her graceful figure and couldn't help but think that men must like this kind of person, right? Her body was well-proportioned, exuding a captivating charm. Li Rongrong lowered her head and looked at herself again. No matter how she looked at it, she was like a child! It wasn't surprising that the woman had said she seemed underage.
When Li Rongrong went downstairs again, she didn't see Lu Zhuoyue, but she overheard a few servants whispering to each other.
"I heard she's the young master's sister. She's so beautiful!"
"She stands on par with the young master, truly a family resemblance. She's like a goddess! If it weren't for her status, she would be a perfect match for the young master..."
Li Rongrong followed their conversation and caught sight of Lu Qinian and Lu Zhuoyue standing together in the garden. They both wore black outfits that complemented each other, their presence remarkable. She bit her lip and turned away.
"Where's Miss?" Lu Qinian entered the room and furrowed his brow upon not finding Li Rongrong. "Isn't time for dinner? Why isn't she eating?"
"She was here just now... I'll go and call her." Mary went upstairs but returned with a troubled expression. "Miss says she's not hungry and won't eat."
Lu Qinian went upstairs and attempted to push open the door, only to realize it was locked from the inside. "Rongrong? Open the door." However, after a while with no response, he asked Mary for the key.
The door opened, revealing Li Rongrong lying on the bed, absentmindedly playing with her tablet. Lu Qinian walked over and took it from her. "This hurts your eyes. Are you still a child? Let's go downstairs and have dinner."
