Chapter 204 Caught
As the door was opened from the outside, the little girl raised her eyes and met the man's angry gaze.

It was indeed Lu Ji.

Her heart tightened involuntarily and she quickly lowered her head.

The man strode over. As he got closer, he brought with him a sense of pressure, which made the little girl's heart tighten.

Finally, he stopped not too far from her.

But he didn't speak.

The room fell into dead silence.

It's so cold that it makes the hair stand on end.

Finally, the little girl couldn't stand this torture any more. She slowly raised her head and met the man's icy eyes. She subconsciously turned her head away and only looked at the corner of his sleeve. She forced a smile and said to him, "I was bored in the mansion. I wanted to go out of town for a stroll, but I didn't expect to be stopped here. I don't know why."

Judging from the man's posture, he was already furious and was just trying his best to restrain himself.

At this point, she had no choice but to lie.

Just refuse to admit it.

After a long time, there was no response from the man. The girl couldn't help but peek at his face. It was so dark that she was frightened and lowered her head again.

There was still no response from the man, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She was scared and didn't dare to cry or throw a tantrum. She just sat there and sobbed silently. Her thin shoulders twitched slightly. Through her tears, she tried to secretly peek at the man's expression.

After a long while, I heard him say, "Have you cried enough?"

Very cold and emotionless, as if talking to a completely unrelated person.

The little girl glanced at the man, wiped her tears, and said with a sob: "I was just having fun for a moment, why did you do this? It looks scary."

The man looked at her solemnly, turned around and walked towards the door. Seeing that she didn't follow him, he turned his head when he reached the door and said in a very cold tone: "Go!"

The little girl wiped her tears again, got up and followed him. As soon as she walked out of the door, the city guard leader came over. When he saw Lu Ji, he was extremely respectful and handed over the package she had left in the car, smiling: "Admiral Lu, this is what Miss Qin left in the car."

Lu Ji took the package and opened it directly. The mahogany money box appeared before his eyes, making his expression even colder.

Every part of the man's body revealed suppressed anger, and his pressure was suffocating.

Seeing that she could no longer deny, the little girl felt her body go limp and she could only hold on to the pillar at the door to barely support herself.

"Let's go!" The man put away the package and spoke to her coldly again.

The little girl didn't move, but just held the thick pillar tightly, tears welling up in her eyes again.

The man stood there, looking at her coldly.

After a long while, he spoke again, still coldly: "You want me to beat you up in public before you leave obediently, right?"

The man came on horseback, perhaps in a hurry, he didn't bother to throw the whip outside. After he said this, the girl still didn't move, so he walked straight towards her with the whip.

A man who is extremely angry will not show mercy to women.

The little girl knew it clearly, so before he raised the whip, she immediately let go of the pillar and walked up to him obediently. She said, "Come on, I'll go back with you."

After saying this, she raised her eyes and glanced at the man, her eyes timid and pleading.

The man didn't react at all, still looking cold. He turned around and strode outside after hearing what was said.

The little girl didn't dare to delay any longer and followed with her skirt lifted.

The carriage and horses hired for the trip had already been sent away. The girl stood at the door and looked at the horse that Lu Ji rode. She thought to herself that this man was angry and unhappy. It would be awkward for her to ride with him back home. She was struggling with this when she heard the man speak coldly again: "Are you still standing there? Go!"

She turned to look at the man, who was already walking forward. She hurriedly caught up with him and asked him, "Do you want to hire a carriage to go back?"

The man ignored her and just kept walking forward.

Seeing this, the little girl could only follow behind dejectedly.

The two walked one after the other for a long time. The girl gradually became exhausted. Glancing at the man's cold back, she hesitated again and again, but finally refrained from speaking.

I guess I'm going to walk back.

This is quite a long journey, and it will take at least two hours.

If I really walk back home, I will probably be exhausted to death.

The little girl endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "My Lord——"

She tried to call him, but he still ignored her. The girl quickly caught up with the man and tugged at his clothes: "Let's hire a carriage."

The man paused and turned to look at her, his eyes cold and unfamiliar: "You can't walk anymore?"

Knowing that he was angry with her, the little girl half lowered her head and whispered, "I haven't eaten anything since noon, and I'm exhausted after walking such a long distance."

Hearing this, Lu Ji sneered: "Aren't you going to run away? Can't you even endure such a small hardship?"

There was sarcasm in his words, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her no longer had the tenderness of the past, but was filled with indifference, so cold that it made people feel uneasy.

After saying that, he turned around and strode forward.

The little girl felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. She glanced at the people flowing on the street, but in the end she held back her tears for the sake of her face. She took a deep breath and continued walking with the man.

He was punishing her.

Let her suffer.

Even if you beg him, it's no use.

The girl had no choice but to endure it, hoping that by the time she got back to the mansion, Lu Ji would have calmed down and the matter could be easily resolved.

But she still overestimated her endurance. After walking through the long street, her legs felt like they were filled with lead and her feet were sore from grinding. She could not walk anymore because she had expended so much energy and her stomach was growling with hunger.

"Lu Ji——"

She couldn't help but call his name, her voice full of weakness, trying to arouse a little sympathy from the man, but the man still refused to turn around and pay attention to her.

"I really can't walk anymore." She slowly stopped and spoke in a crying voice.

The man finally turned around and just looked at her coldly without saying a word.

The little girl couldn't help shedding tears. Glancing at the man's gloomy face, she wiped her tears quickly. Sweat and tears had already ruined her makeup. Now there were black and white spots on her face, and she looked a little embarrassed.

She stood there, wiping her tears and crying pitifully.

But the man just stood there and looked at her coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

"I can't walk anymore." The little girl cried to him, her voice full of tears: "My feet are all blistered. If I keep walking, I'm afraid my legs will be crippled."

She would definitely not be able to escape the first time. The prince had already seen that the little girl was restless, so how could he not make preparations?

The male protagonist is a man of both wisdom and courage, he wouldn't be without this skill

There will be a few chapters of dragging on, some things will happen, and then the heroine will escape successfully and live a carefree life.
