An Ke, despite having a million unwilling thoughts, still followed Jun Hao, with her family being her only concern. ……………………………………………………………… 007 A Contract In the study ”Do you remember what I told you?” Jun Hao sat by the desk, handing An Ke a contract: “Sign this, and your hard days are over.” An Ke took the contract without looking at its contents, staring at Jun Hao’s eyes almost spitting fire: “I have a condition.” Jun Hao was unconcerned and gestured for her to continue. ”No matter when or under what circumstances, Jun Hao must not threaten An Ke’s family.” ”Okay, I promise you, I absolutely will not touch your family in the slightest.” An Ke picked up the pen and signed her name without hesitation. Jun Hao’s face was full of smiles, retrieving the contract and double-checking: “You really won’t look at what this contract says? Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you?” ”Whether I look or not, I have to sign. Why waste time,” An Ke turned her head, not wanting to look at that disgusting smile. ”Hehe…” Jun Hao chuckled: “Then let me read it to you. Actually, there’s just one clause: from now on, you are my woman. I can let you live a life you never dared to imagine before.” An Ke turned and slapped his desk, glaring at him: “What exactly have I done to provoke you that you must make things difficult for me?” Jun Hao stood up, slowly walked to An Ke’s side, and unexpectedly pulled her into his embrace, ignoring her desperate struggle. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: “I never need a reason for what I do. From now on, don’t act like a shrew in front of me, otherwise…” His sensual lips gently brushed her cheek: “Otherwise, I’ll want to conquer you even more.” ”Bastard, what exactly do you want?” His actions made An Ke tremble all over; she just wanted to avoid his ambiguous movements. Although she was 165 cm tall, she couldn’t push away Jun Hao’s tall 180-something cm body. ”I just told you, and you’ve already forgotten,” Jun Hao freed one hand, gently caressing her lips, like a lover’s intimate touch, murmuring: “What should I do with this little mouth of yours?” An Ke forcefully threw off his hand, breaking free from his restraint, and challengingly looked at him: “Dare to bet with me?” ”Oh…” Jun Hao crossed his arms, full of smiles: “Let’s see what you can bet.” Perhaps the environment taught An Ke to hide her emotions, she stared at Jun Hao with a half-smile: “We’ll bet that you’ll fall in love with me, but I absolutely won’t fall in love with you.” ”I’m not interested in the bet, I care about the stakes,” Jun Hao sat back in his chair, crossing his legs and looking at An Ke. ”If I lose, I’ll be at your disposal. If you lose, you can never disturb my life again and never appear in front of me,” An Ke didn’t think Jun Hao would fall in love with her, and she was absolutely certain she wouldn’t fall in love with him. She was going to win, not lose. Jun Hao chuckled: “Don’t you think this is unnecessary? You’re already my exclusive property.” ”Hmph… I think you’re just afraid to bet,” she stared directly at Jun Hao. ”I’ll play along with you,” Jun Hao picked up a pen and casually played with it, the curve of his lips deepening: “Until one side loses, this game continues.” ”During the bet, we can’t interfere with each other’s private lives,” An Ke added her only condition, wanting complete freedom to do what she wanted. She still needed to find a way to get rid of this man. ”Whatever conditions you have, go ahead. I’ll make you lose completely,” confidence was fully displayed on his face, his smile could bewitch one’s mind. ”Where’s the guest room? I want to rest,” not wanting to entangle with him further. ”Haha…” Jun Hao laughed uncontrollably. Although he usually smiled, he rarely laughed from the heart. When he laughed, he looked really good, with a small dimple at the corner of his lips – small and cute. She was stunned, her face suddenly turning red, quickly turning away, not daring to look at him. She was even more shocked by her own thought that he was cute. Jun Hao picked up the phone on the desk and gave some instructions. Soon, someone came to the study door to take An Ke to rest. ”Please wait a moment,” An Ke apologetically smiled at the maid, walked to Jun Hao’s side without hesitation, and planted a kiss on his face: “Good night.” Seeing the maid’s wide-eyed expression, An Ke lightly called: “Can we go now?” ”Woman… you’re very clever,” was Jun Hao’s words as An Ke left the study. An Ke had been walking for about half an hour when Jun Hao was still sitting blankly in his chair, reaching out to gently touch the spot she had just kissed. In his heart, he had a plan: the winner of this bet would only be him. …………………………………………………… 008 Gun Attack An Ke arrived in the guest room, quite satisfied that it had a separate bathroom, with all kinds of personal items and electrical equipment. Jun Hao had thoughtfully instructed the servants to prepare dinner for her. She never expected Jun Hao to have thought of everything. She only considered these as his strategies to make her lose completely. In the following days, she thought of many ways to deal with Jun Hao, but he seemed to have disappeared. The servants said Jun Hao had thrown away her bag, and the next day two people came to make clothes for her. On the third day, all the clothes were delivered, with various beautiful outfits. If An Ke had been more observant, she would have noticed that among all these clothes, there wasn’t a single dress.
In the vast villa, people were rarely seen. The personal maid arranged by Jun Hao was around forty years old and appeared capable and efficient. He told An that she would be responsible for her daily life and could be called Sister Li. An knew that on the surface it sounded like taking care of her, but in reality, it was monitoring her.
During the next few days, An spent most of her time in her room. She could only see Sister Li and Cheng Hua, and Sakai Kensei seemed to have vanished into thin air – she hadn’t seen him since that night. The entire villa was so quiet that she thought only the three of them existed. Whenever she wanted to wander around the villa, different people would come up with exploratory gazes to introduce everything to her. She simply stayed in her room except during mealtimes, not wanting to understand anything about the villa, only vaguely knowing that it had a nursing home, gym, and all kinds of supporting facilities.
An learned about Jun Hao’s recent situation from television – he had flown to Tokyo to attend the World Medical Equipment Exhibition. Among many celebrities, she recognized him at a glance. He always wore a faint smile that did not diminish his domineering aura. Since he was so far away, how could she honestly stay in this bird cage?
“I want to go out for a walk,” An said casually, though she was actually worried they might stop her.
“Miss An, please wait a moment. I’ll prepare right away,” Sister Li responded in her usual distant tone.
“No need. I just want to walk around alone.”
An successfully left the villa, believing her tough attitude had made them let her go. Of course, she wouldn’t know that Jun Hao, far away in a foreign land, was still controlling everything about her. Since he promised her “freedom”, he naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.
The road seemed wider, the air less polluted. She had finally flown out of that golden bird cage. She thought she was free, unaware that Cheng Hua had already arranged people to follow her from a distance. Wanting to escape, she shook her head and dismissed the ridiculous idea – as long as Jun Hao didn’t let go, she had nowhere to run.
