Some people in this world are naive, always thinking that cubs can be bullied.
They have no idea that even a tiger’s roar can be harmful.
Zhong Xiao Ai had been exposed to the most elite politicians in the country since she was a child, and she had learned a whole set of Dragon-Slaying Strategies from them.
However, she had always been overprotected by her family, which made her have an untimely innocence and a willingness to trust others.
To outsiders, Zhong Xiao Ai seemed overly timid, not at all like the arrogant and domineering child of a powerful family as rumored.
Only her childhood sweetheart, Sha Bao Yu, knew the sharp edge hidden beneath her kindness.
She kept this sharpness hidden because she was kind and didn't want to hurt anyone.
Today, under the relentless pressure from the Lu family, Zhong Xiao Ai finally unleashed this sharpness, testing the waters.
“Dad, your daughter was bullied?”
Sha Bao Yu could already sense the anger deliberately suppressed on the other end.
Everyone in the capital knew that Zhong Yong Bang, with his high position and authority, was a complete daughter-lover.
This one sentence from Zhong Xiao Ai meant the downfall of the Lu family.
Perhaps tonight, perhaps tomorrow.
Lu Yi Ke would have to spend the rest of her life paying for her scheming tonight.
“Bao Yu, was I a bit impulsive?”
“You are just too kind,”
Sha Bao Yu embraced Zhong Xiao Ai with affection, his chin resting on her forehead.
“Those who do wrong should be punished, that’s the unchanging law of the universe. If one day, someone uses the same excuse to make me leave you, what would you do?”
“Hmph! I think with Zhong Yong Bang around, no one would dare snatch his son-in-law.”
“Then, my dear wife, where should we go now?”
“Who’s your wife? Who’s your wife?”
“What? Wasn’t it you who just said I was Zhong Yong Bang’s son-in-law? Does he have more than one daughter?”
The weight of the same matter can be completely different in different people's eyes.
For Sha Bao Yu and Zhong Xiao Ai, the Lu family was just a minor episode, far less important than the sweet time they could spend together.
With a wave of her jade hand, Zhong Xiao Ai directed Sha Bao Yu, driving his Grand Cherokee towards Yi He Road.
The night and the lights intertwined, as if draping a veil over these villas, merging seamlessly with the surrounding French plane trees.
Zhong Xiao Ai stood on the road, happily stretching out her arms.
“Xiao Ai, out of all these villas, which one do you like?”
As he asked this question, a mysterious smile curved Sha Bao Yu’s lips.
Without hesitation, Zhong Xiao Ai pointed with her jade hand towards a villa behind them, one with a Scandinavian style, resembling a fairy tale castle.
“Bao Yu, I want this one.”
Sha Bao Yu had an expression that said, “I knew it,” and immediately pulled a key from his pocket and placed it in Zhong Xiao Ai’s hand.
“My dear princess, welcome back to your castle.”
As childhood sweethearts, they understood each other implicitly, I know what you like, and you know that I know what you like.
The moment they pushed open the door, they saw the interior decorations, and Zhong Xiao Ai couldn’t help but gasp.
The overall layout was entirely based on her favorite pink, combined with brighter colors, giving the impression that you would become younger just by staying there for a while.
“My beautiful princess, do you like this gift?”
Indeed, Sha Bao Yu was the only person in the world who truly understood her.
“I like it, I really like it.”
Standing on the second-floor balcony, Zhong Xiao Ai felt like she was truly a princess from a fairy tale.
And more importantly, her prince, was even more handsome and charming.
But she didn’t know that the more precious a man’s gift, the greater the error he committed.
“My beautiful princess, the night is seductive, why don’t I attend to your bedtime needs?”
He had restrained himself since noon, and Sha Bao Yu finally couldn’t resist any longer.
“This princess will give you a chance.”
Zhong Xiao Ai was also feeling emotionally moved at this moment, allowing him to embrace her.
“This bed, I bought it specifically in the European style, most importantly, it’s sturdy, incredibly sturdy. Let’s test it out today and see if it really is sturdy.”
As to whether it was sturdy, or whether Zhong Xiao Ai would be too exhausted to know, she really didn’t know.
When a ray of morning sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, she couldn't help but look at Sha Bao Yu, fast asleep beside her, and suddenly felt an unprecedented happiness.
Some people feel the morning sun is so bright, while others find it blinding.
Early in the morning, when Lu Zheng Qing received a call from the Military District General Committee, his heart, filled with worry and fear all night, finally settled.
The worst outcome had arrived.
An order stripped him of his real power and assigned him to a vacant position in charge of collecting and evaluating intelligence.
From this moment, Brigadier General Lu became Staff Officer Lu.
Staff officers don't carry the title of "General," they are not even worth listening to.
Lu Zheng Qing could now spend the rest of his life holding a cup of goji berries and reading newspapers.
