Looking at the handcuffs around her wrists, Ming Shu released a sigh. Rich people truly are different. Of course he'd have such realistic props!

The passing scenery outside the window became more and more desolate. She didn't know where Jiang Xun was going to take her.

That incense was spiked with some kind of overpowering drug, which would cause loss of strength.

Ming Shu felt nothing in her heart, and even had the desire to eat something.

"Niannian, give me a chance, all right?" With an imploring voice, Jiang Xun looked straight ahead. He didn't want to do this, but devastated by Ming Shu's refusal, he couldn't help it...

With a drowsy feeling creeping over her, Ming Shu curled up in the passenger seat. She turned her head when she heard Jiang Xun's voice and said, "Dear brother, there are so many beautiful women in the world, why do you have to like me?"

I'm really not a person you should like!

Blue veins were spreading all over the back of Jiang Xun's hand, which showed he was strongly restraining his body's desire. His gaze drifted away, seemingly trapped in memories. "I remember when you were a little girl, you looked like a snow white fluffy ball and always called me brother in a crisp and sweet voice..."

Most of what Jiang Xun said couldn't be found in the Host's memory anymore. Probably the Host was too young to remember it.

But Jiang Xun remembered everything clearly.

Terrible!

I need a whole bunch of snacks to calm down.

"I don't know why, but you began to alienate me starting in middle school, and even quarreled with me as you grew older..." Jiang Xun's face was full of pain. "I didn't want to fight with you. But every time you saw me you were filled with impatience. Niannian, did you know how anguished I was at that time?"

Ming Shu was fiddling with the handcuffs and her face was covered by dangling hair. Her faint voice emerged: "Because you were too controlling."

Since the Host attended middle school, Jiang Xun started to control her in almost every way. What kind of friends she was going to make, where to hang out and what to eat, all of these he required to know.

Teenagers were at a rebellious age and not even their parents restricted her as tightly as him, plus she incidentally knew that Jiang Xun was not her biological brother then, so how could she not feel annoyed?

Jiang Xun felt his lips twitch. "I just don't want you to be hurt by others."

Ming Shu sneered. "That's why you lost your dear sister."

Squeak

The car suddenly stopped. With its tires rubbing against the ground, a harsh sound was produced. Ming Shu was thrown forward suddenly and then was violently pulled back by the seatbelt. The hit made her feel dizzy in the head.

Then a pair of hands pushed on her shoulders, and a familiar breath came near. "Niannian, I won't lose you."

"You have lost me." Ming Shu shook her head. So faint.

"No! I won't!" Jiang Xun looked at Ming Shu with his determined eyes. That hidden madness appeared again.

He released Ming Shu and started the car. He would never lose her.

Ming Shu was still affected by the drug and could do nothing but nest in the passenger seat, feeling Jiang Xun's mad and evil thoughts.

She was taken to a villa in the neighboring city, where the layout seemed to follow what the Host preferred. But all the windows and doors of the villa used a high-tech system that needed a fingerprint to unlock.
