Qiao Yin frowned, "What are you doing? Are you planning to hold me captive?"
"Not necessarily a bad idea, as long as you stay by my side."
"If you dare to do so, I will fight you tooth and nail. This is not love, you're just satisfying your need for control!"
Lu Lingche was not angered by her condemnation.
He gently embraced her once more, whispering in her ear, "I love you, Qiao Yin. Yes, I seek control, but only over you and for no other reason than my love for you."
Qiao Yin was taken aback by his unexpected confession.
She stood there, dazed for a moment, then responded, "Stop deceiving me, and most importantly yourself. You don't love anyone. If you have any care or concern for anyone, it would only be for your elder brother."
Lu Lingche chuckled, kissed her cheek, and breathed into her ear, "Are you even jealous of my brother?"
Qiao Yin's ear tingled from his breath, so she had to move aside to avoid his proximity.
"I am not, I am only stating a fact."
