She shoved him away in a fit of anger, immediately composed herself, and sat up as if nothing had happened. After steadying her breathing, she said in an extremely calm tone:
"Mr. Lu, I think we need to set some ground rules."
After being pushed away, Lu Qing stood up. His towering figure exuded a powerful sense of oppression that made her have to look up to speak to him.
"Hmm? Go ahead."
Under the shadow, she couldn't even make out the expression on his face. Every second she spent with this man required immense courage, as a single misstep could lead to being utterly defeated. Thus, Qin Miaomiao became even more cautious.
Clearing her throat, she feigned composure and said:
"First, no physical contact. We should keep things courteous. Second..."
Before she could finish, his voice interrupted her, domineering and resolute:
"I refuse."
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
