Chapter 367: Days Feel Like Years

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong

Boss Cutie

"Does it mean anything to ask that now? The main thing is how to fix it! You get home with me right now, and cut off all those messy relationships out there! Otherwise, don't even think about being my daughter anymore!"

The fire had finally reached his own doorstep. No matter how much he doted on his daughter, there was no way he'd gamble the family business on a joke.

Su Lin's eyes were red to the extreme. However unwilling she was, she had no choice but to realize how serious this was.

If she really didn't go, she'd lose everything.

Most importantly, there was no telling how those bastard bodyguards would mistreat a weak girl like her.

"Daddy, I'll go with you!"

Father Su walked in front with a stern face, Su Lin chasing after him.

Thankfully, with Father Su present, the bodyguards didn't try to stop her.

Su Lin breathed a quiet breath of relief, but she still didn't dare relax. The whole way there, she carefully watched Father Su's expression.

Father Su never once gave her a kind look.

When Su Lin looked over, he even glared at her fiercely. "You've really landed me in a huge mess this time!"

Su Lin shrank her little head, the picture of grievance, not daring to make a peep.

Where was the wilfulness from before? She'd thought a few sweet words to coax Daddy would be enough to calm him down.

But things went the opposite of what she wanted. The moment they got home, Su Lin was taken upstairs by a servant.

When Su Lin tried to open the door, she found it locked tight.

"Open up! Don't lock me in here, Daddy!" Realizing how serious things were, Su Lin pounded her palms against the door.

However, it wasn't her daddy's voice that came from outside, but a servant's flat tone. "Young Miss, the Master has given his orders. For this period, you're to live peacefully and reflect on your mistakes in your room. Once the storm blows over, he'll consider letting you out."

Su Lin was frantic. "No! I want out, I can't stay in here a single day!"

Was the colorful world outside any worse than this tiny room?

Su Lin was someone who couldn't hold herself back. She couldn't stay cooped up indoors. She'd already been running wild out there, so locking her up now was a truly terrifying prospect.

"Young Miss, the Master has already given his orders. You can only do as he says. Your three meals and necessities will be delivered to you, so you don't need to worry about that."

Even though the servant said that, it only made Su Lin more anxious.

Her daddy had clearly made up his mind to keep her in this room. She'd never suffered such injustice in her life.

Her anger only burned hotter.

…

Inside the room, Leng Ruoli lay against Jiang Muye's chest. Her cheeks were flushed with spring, her fragrant shoulders slightly bared, and her brown hair clearly still a little damp from a recent wash.

Jiang Muye was helping Leng Ruoli serve as an iPad stand, so she could comfortably binge her dramas.

Actually, Jiang Muye had no interest in those Korean dramas, but Leng Ruoli liked them.

The male lead wasn't even as good-looking as him, and the beauties inside were no match for Leng Ruoli either. The plot was pretty shoddily made and full of melodrama, but it was the kind that hooked you once you started.

Leng Ruoli quite enjoyed watching them. She stared at the screen with relish, and Jiang Muye would sneak a few glances too.

He simply enjoyed Leng Ruoli's presence, especially after the two of them had bathed and were lying together. It felt amazing, truly wonderful.

Jiang Muye freed up his left hand and gently stroked Leng Ruoli's brown hair.

Leng Ruoli gave him a sweet smile. "Focus, I'm watching my show."

Jiang Muye deliberately pressed his face against the iPad, blocking Leng Ruoli's line of sight.

"Stop it~! You're so annoying!" Leng Ruoli laughed and grabbed Jiang Muye's face.

"Kiss me, and I'll move," Jiang Muye teased.

Leng Ruoli's little face turned incomparably red as she replied, "You've been kissing me for so long, haven't you had enough?"

"Yep, so are you going to kiss me or not? Which is more important, kissing me or watching your show?" Jiang Muye stared at Leng Ruoli intently.

Leng Ruoli blurted out without a shred of hesitation, "Watching my show, of course."

Jiang Muye promptly climbed on top of Leng Ruoli. "Oh, is that so! Then I need to adjust your position in my heart, make it higher and mightier!"

Leng Ruoli was blooming with laughter, pretending to struggle a few times. "Stop it~ I just finished my bath."

"Don't care!" Jiang Muye was about to nibble on Leng Ruoli.

He and Leng Ruoli were laughing and fooling around when her phone started ringing.

Leng Ruoli glanced down at the caller ID and her mood soured.

"Look." She turned the phone toward Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye had been in high spirits, but seeing the number was like having cold water dumped on him, and his interest drained away.

"Answer it, what's there to be afraid of," Jiang Muye urged.

"Okay." Leng Ruoli picked up the call.

She'd just put it on speaker when Su Lin's furious scolding burst from the other end. "Cousin, you've really got some nerve, actually going and tattling! So what if you've got Jiang Muye backing you up? I'd like to see you strut around once Jiang Muye gets put in his place~!"

Leng Ruoli frowned. "What do you mean? I didn't tattle."

"No tattling? Then how did my daddy find out? You can't even lie convincingly!" Su Lin's anger burned hotter.

Then Leng Ruoli's phone was snatched away by Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye replied flatly, "I did it. You got a problem with that?"

Su Lin was stunned speechless by the magnetic male voice.

"I'm telling your dad to teach you a good lesson. I think I've been too soft-hearted. I should've cut off your internet too," Jiang Muye replied in annoyance.

When he'd noticed the cable car suddenly stop, he'd sensed something was off.

So he'd looked into it, and found that this spoiled Young Miss had been scheming behind the scenes.

The originally fiery Su Lin suddenly deflated.

She spoke to Jiang Muye with a hint of flattery. "Muye, Brother, don't be like that."

"Don't call me Brother, it disgusts me." Jiang Muye rebuffed Su Lin with distaste.

Upon hearing Jiang Muye's words, Su Lin's expression turned very ugly.

Naturally, she wanted to get closer to Jiang Muye, but the problem was that Jiang Muye was deliberately pushing her away.

"But…" Su Lin was about to play the pity card when Jiang Muye cut her off coolly.

Jiang Muye said coldly to Su Lin, "Around me, there's no distinction between men and women, only friend and foe. Since you're dead set on opposing Ruoli, then don't blame me for striking back."

Su Lin wanted to argue a while longer, but the call was hung up moments later.

"Hello!" Hearing the busy tone, Su Lin was furious.

She bit her lower lip in displeasure and was about to call back when she found her phone had no signal at all.

This place wasn't remote at all, and the signal was usually very strong. How could it possibly have no signal all of a sudden?

Su Lin understood at once. She'd been cut off from the outside world.

Being confined was already going too far, and now they were cutting her internet too. For a girl addicted to the web, that was even worse.
