She was thrown into the car, and it... drove extremely steadily. She sat in the passenger seat, sneaking a glance at the man beside her.
His expression was incredibly calm, calm to an almost excessive degree.
She only felt her mouth go dry, her heart pounding wildly. She couldn’t help but curse herself silently—why was she so spineless?
On the set, she was a total queen! Directing this, commanding that—Jin Jingyan, Yan Lv Meng Yan, Song Li—which one of them didn’t bow to her authority?
Even Lu Qing, as long as they were on set, he’d listen to her.
But once off the set, the dynamic flipped completely, and she couldn’t maintain her posture at all—especially when the terms had been so clearly negotiated back then!
Three days... three nights.
Why the hell did she lose her mind back then and agree to that? She clearly had seven bodyguards—anyone of them could’ve worked as a stand-in. Sure, the results might not have been great, but at least she’d have had the freedom to overwork them!
But now look at this—she’d essentially sold herself. And after forcing him to abstain for a whole month, his waist had fully recovered, too.
She was pretty sure she was going to die tonight—in perfect rhythm, no less!
"Hubby, look, it’s snowing. It’s so beautiful. Why don’t we go have a snowball fight first?"
"Hubby, are you hungry? How about we stop for street food?"
"Hubby, are you thirsty? I’ll get out and buy you a bottle of water."
"Hubby, I really need to pee. Can we stop by the side of the road for a moment?"
No... response whatsoever!!!
The only thing was, the car was driving faster and faster—so fast that she thought he was racing. With skills like that, he could easily join a professional competition!
Finally, what was supposed to be a one-hour drive was over in thirty minutes. They reached the building downstairs.
Qin Miaomiao was still thinking she could put up a final stand—just stay in the car and refuse to get out. But the moment the door opened, before she could react, he scooped her up.
That ridiculously handsome face of his had a slight smile at the corner of his lips. But somehow, that smile only made her feel a chill down her spine!
In the elevator, he still held her, refusing to let go. She cautiously asked, "Hubby, aren’t you tired holding me ?"
"Not tired. Don’t worry, I have plenty of strength."
You... have *plenty of strength*. What the hell does that even mean???!!!
For god’s sake, I don’t want you to have plenty of strength! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novᴇlfire.net
*Ding!* The elevator arrived. At the door, Lu Qing pressed his fingerprint on the lock. The door opened, and as soon as they were inside, Qin Miaomiao grabbed the door with both hands, shouting:
"I’ve changed my mind! This deal is off! I want to back out!!!"
Lu Qing’s expression turned slightly cold. He said calmly, "Backing out comes with a penalty fee."
"I’ll pay! Even if it costs tens of millions, I’ll pay!"
He set her down. Qin Miaomiao felt a spark of hope—was he actually willing to renegotiate the terms?
But then his hand moved to her collar, unbuttoning her coat one button at a time!!
The buttons of her down jacket were undone, revealing the pink sweater underneath. Qin Miaomiao was deeply thankful that it was winter, so she was wearing a lot—just taking off her layers would take time. If it were summer, with Mr. Lu’s temperament, he’d probably just rip her clothes apart!
She crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at him with wide eyes:
"I said I want to back out."
"Party B does not agree."
"Party B’s daddy, could you please be reasonable? Three days and three nights—I really can’t."
Lu Qing’s lips curled into a smile. "Looks like the Queen has finally understood the main point. Let’s eat something to build up your strength first. And also, stock up on enough food for the next three days."
