The skin beneath was revealed, as white as snow.

Just as Lu Xiaoyu was about to say something more, she felt a sudden draft. Looking down, she discovered that Liu Ergou had ripped her dress to shreds. A look of shock spread across her face. While her clothes weren't particularly durable, it should still have been difficult for a grown man to tear them. It certainly shouldn't have been as effortless as Liu Ergou had made it seem.

Only then did Lu Xiaoyu realize that Liu Ergou wasn't some timid rabbit but a ferocious tiger. Provoking him had been an unbelievably foolish mistake. Now, it was too late for regrets. The only thing she could do was try to reason with him.

"Ergou," Lu Xiaoyu called out softly. "Can we please not do this here? Could you carry me to the bedroom? This... this really isn't appropriate right by the door, so..."

Before Lu Xiaoyu could finish, Liu Ergou cut her off with a sneer. "Heh. No."

"Weren't you the one who wanted to provoke me? I let you off once, but you just had to keep pushing. You really think I'm easy to bully, don't you? Well, since that's the case, I think it's time I taught you a lesson."

With that, Liu Ergou exerted his strength, sweeping Lu Xiaoyu into his arms. The sudden force of the embrace made her eyes roll back into her head until they almost vanished. It took her a long moment to recover.

Only now did Lu Xiaoyu understand just how formidable Liu Ergou was. She finally believed him when he said he could handle Leng Shasha; it was definitely not a joke. No matter how much of a vixen Leng Shasha was, after being handled by Liu Ergou like this, she would undoubtedly become completely obedient, following his every command.

Just then, Liu Ergou surged with power, violently interrupting Lu Xiaoyu's train of thought. A moment later, her eyes rolled back again, this time even more dramatically than before. Seeing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. He wasn't about to let her off so easily. She had to pay the price for provoking him. Most importantly, he had to conquer her completely, otherwise she would cause endless trouble in the future.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou decisively released her. The moment she was free, Lu Xiaoyu's eyes flew open and she stared at him.

"Ah, Ergou, why did you... why did you stop?" As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyu's voice was filled with a pained longing.

Liu Ergou, however, remained completely unmoved. His expression didn't even flicker. Seeing his indifference, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but grow anxious. What is he trying to do?

While Lu Xiaoyu was still trying to figure it out, Liu Ergou calmly straightened his clothes. Once he was presentable, he turned to leave, leaving Lu Xiaoyu completely dumbfounded.

How can he just walk away like this? We're not finished... How can he possibly have so much self-control?

Seeing Liu Ergou's hand about to touch the doorknob, Lu Xiaoyu threw all caution to the wind. She dragged her legs, which had gone as soft as noodles, and scrambled to hug him from behind.

"Ergou, where are you going?! We're not done yet! You can't leave!"

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou replied with a smile. "Nowhere special. I just see we're running out of time, so I have to get back. Why can't I leave? I have other things to take care of."

Despite his words, he made no move to pry her hands off him. Lu Xiaoyu, however, didn't notice this subtle detail. The sight of him about to leave sent her into a complete panic.

"There's enough time! There is!" Lu Xiaoyu said anxiously. "Please, Ergou! Can we continue?"

Yet no matter what she said, Liu Ergou remained impassive. Finally, after she had pleaded at length, he responded. "You were the one who said you were unwilling. I can't possibly go against your wishes, can I? Besides, I have other things to attend to, so there's no problem with me leaving now, right?"

By now, however, Lu Xiaoyu wasn't listening to a word he said. She simply clung to him like a koala.

"No, no, you're not allowed to go! If you dare leave, I'll... I'll..."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou waited with amusement to see what she would say next. But after stammering for a long moment, Lu Xiaoyu still couldn't form a complete sentence. Liu Ergou shrugged helplessly.

Honestly, this woman. Can't she even speak properly?

Seeing Lu Xiaoyu at a loss for words, Liu Ergou showed no mercy. He forcefully peeled her off him and tossed her back onto the floor, then turned to leave once more. Seeing that Liu Ergou was unstoppable, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly grew furious. She had already humbled herself to beg him, but he was still dead set on leaving.

With a surge of anger, she yelled, "Hmph! Fine, go! See if I care! It's not like I can't live without you!"

With that, she scrambled up from the floor and ran straight toward her bedroom.

Lu Xiaoyu's sudden change of heart took Liu Ergou by surprise. Tsk, this woman has quite a temper. So fickle. I like it.

A satisfied smile spread across Liu Ergou's face. Without another moment's hesitation, he chased after her. He caught up to her in just a few steps, wrapping his arms around her from behind. Lu Xiaoyu was about to protest, but the moment she opened her mouth, she swallowed her words.

Just as she closed her eyes, ready to let Liu Ergou do as he pleased, he stopped again. The whiplash shattered her composure once more.

I don't understand what he's trying to do! Why does he have to play these mind games with me?

Just as Lu Xiaoyu felt she was about to snap, Liu Ergou's voice whispered in her ear.

"Lu Xiaoyu, if you want to continue, you have to beg me. Beg me, and I'll continue. If you don't, then we can just stand here and see who has more time to waste."

Liu Ergou had expected her to argue back, to resist for a little while longer. But this time, upon hearing his words, Lu Xiaoyu surrendered without the slightest hesitation.

"Ergou, I'm begging you. I know I was wrong. I'll never act like that again! Please, just continue! Please?"
