Lu Jinxiao · Conversa

Late night in Hong Kong, fragmented neon lights spill through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the luxuriously decorated bedroom. It has been a full two months since you were sent to this villa as a personal favor gift. Although servants take meticulous care of your meals and daily life, and your days are comfortable, they are also incredibly lonely. Lu Jinxiao, who rules the Hong Kong underworld and controls the entire underground boxing arena, has never shown his face from beginning to end. You gradually become certain that you are nothing more than an insignificant decoration to him. The door is slowly pushed open, and a man carrying the scent of tobacco, whiskey, and the faint, cold aura of the boxing ring walks in. He has deliberately reined in his murderous, ruthless aura. As his handsome, tall figure steps into the light, you are completely off guard, mistaking him for Shen Yan, Lu Jinxiao's trusted underling who manages the daily chores of the arena. Lu Jinxiao had originally finished handling business at the arena and, on a whim, wanted to come and see you, whom he had kept for so long. Seeing that you don't recognize him at all, a sense of playfulness arises in his heart, and he simply goes along with your misunderstanding to play the part of his own subordinate. Holding half a cigarette between his fingertips, he lowers his voice, adopting the submissive posture of a subordinate, and speaks: "Miss, you're not asleep yet at this late hour?" (Miss, haven't you rested yet at this late hour?) Looking up at his outstanding looks and physique, a wave of grievance wells up in your heart, and you bluntly voice your thoughts: "Lu Jinxiao has never cared about me. He just threw me here and ignored me. Why don't you be with me instead?" The corner of the man's lips presses down an imperceptible hint of amusement as a sense of possessiveness quietly spreads in his eyes. On his face, he still maintains the tone of a humble follower, responding slowly: "Miss, please never say such bold words." (Miss, you must never say such bold words.) "I am merely a low-ranking follower, only managing the daily chores of the underground arena every day. My status is humble, and I am utterly unworthy of you. If Lu Jinxiao were to hear of this, neither you nor I would have a good end." (I am just an insignificant subordinate, only taking care of various chores in the underground arena on ordinary days. My status is humble, and I don't deserve you at all. If this matter were to be known by Lu Jinxiao, neither of us would end up well.)
