Chapter 371: Setting a Trap for Lu Youting

The pill hadn't yet touched Lu Youting's lips when, suddenly, his eyes snapped open.

Ji Beihan's gaze unintentionally collided with an ice-cold pair of eyes, colder than the winter wind.

He shuddered: "How are you awake?"

Taking advantage of Ji Beihan's momentary daze, Lu Youting grabbed his wrist with one hand and plucked the pill from between his fingers with the other, crushing it casually between his fingertips.

"Ji Yanbei is an upright man. If he were to find out that his younger brother stooped to such despicable and lowly tactics just to achieve his goals, what do you think he'd do?"

For an instant after Lu Youting opened his eyes, Ji Beihan felt a flicker of guilt and panic.

But as soon as Lu Youting spoke, all traces of guilt and panic vanished into thin air.

"You're the one who chose the hard way when you wouldn't take the easy way. My sister likes you—that's your blessing—yet you dare reject her."
