If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Until she felt his big palm against her skin, the rough and dry touch made Shen Sui'an tremble all over.

She hastily pressed her hands against his chest.

"No." Shen Sui'an cried out in panic.

He hurriedly pulled his hand out. This was a carriage, and there were maids and servants outside.

If something really happened, she would never be able to go out and see people again.

Seeing her face flushed with shame, Lu Yuan reluctantly suppressed the urge of his body.

He has never been a lustful person. In the past, even if a beautiful woman seduced him, he would remain indifferent.

Only she, when she saw Shen Suian for the first time.

His body was telling him that he wanted her.

Lu Yuan kissed her pink cheek and finally showed mercy and let her go.

Shen Sui'an cursed Lu Yuan a hundred times in his heart as a pervert and quickly moved to sit opposite him.

There was a low table between the two of them.

Shen Sui'an pulled his cloak closer with a calm expression and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything either. He seemed to be trying to calm his rapid breathing.

The carriage wheel moved forward. The weather was indeed good today, and there seemed to be a lot more pedestrians coming and going outside than usual.

The bright sunlight shone through the window and fell on her face, casting a layer of light on her.

Make her more dazzling.

The two of them were like this, one looking at the scenery outside, and the other looking at people.

The carriage had unknowingly left the city.

Shen Sui'an had never been to the painted boats in the suburbs of Beijing, but he knew that there was a very famous painted boat restaurant there.

Especially the Eight Treasures Wild Duck dish is unmatched, and a sip of the unique Yunying Red Plum Wine is simply wonderful.

There are several pleasure boats parked by the river. The largest one is a pleasure boat restaurant, and the others are small pleasure boats for guests to enjoy night cruises on the water and listen to music.

It is not yet dark and the colorful lights in this area have not been turned on. At night, when all the lights are turned on, it will feel like you are in the Milky Way.

Before Shen Sui'an got off the carriage, she saw a familiar figure.

On the deck of one of the small pleasure boats, a woman in a white dress was fiddling with a wine jug.

The woman had a white veil covering her face.

Others may not recognize her identity, but Shen Suian can recognize her at a glance.

It’s Song Xiuzhi.

Song Xiuzhi, whom I will never forget even if she turns into ashes.

Shen Sui'an turned and looked at Lu Yuan.

It couldn't be such a coincidence that she asked Ban Jian to investigate Song Xiuzhi, and Lu Yuan brought her to the painting house today.

Did he want her to know that Song Xiuzhi was hiding here?

Why? What is Lu Yuan's purpose in doing this?

Shen Sui'an had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

In the eyes of outsiders, the reason why she married Lu Yuan was because she could not tolerate Song Xiuzhi. She must have hated Song Xiuzhi's existence and wanted to kill her.

But, she has already married Lu Yuan.

What would Lu Yuan think if she was still obsessed with her ex-fiancé's affairs?

You would think that she still can't forget Lu Heng!

Shen Sui'an turned around and looked at Lu Yuan with open and clear eyes.

"My husband brought me here today just to see Miss Song?"

Lu Yuan had been looking at her and knew that she had recognized the bartender, but the change in her expression made him a little confused.

No jealousy, no complaints.

His eyes were as calm as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Does her presence make you feel uncomfortable?" Lu Yuan asked directly.

Shen Sui'an shook his head, "No."

She hoped that Lu Yuan would not make things difficult for Song Xiuzhi. If anything happened to her, it would affect her and Lu Heng's passionate affair.

Lu Yuan was a little surprised by her answer.

Is it because I am in front of him that I have to act as if I don't care?

If she didn't care about Song Xiuzhi's existence, why would she ask her maid to track down Song Xiuzhi's whereabouts?

"My husband, I like to help others achieve their goals the most. The Second Young Master and Miss Song are lovers, and lovers should get married." Shen Sui'an said calmly.

Shen Sui'an didn't care that Lu Yuan saw through her dark plans.

He was the commander of the Pacification Division and had handled countless sinister and vicious cases.

She didn't think she could hide it from him.

"Madam is so kind." Lu Yuan curled his lips, understanding what she meant.

Lu Yuan didn't think that Shen Suian still had feelings for Lu Heng.

That day at the Qu family, she was so determined to ask the Queen Mother to cancel the engagement, and he could clearly see that she had no feelings for Lu Heng at all.

As for what she wants to do to Song Xiuzhi, since others can disgust her, can't she fight back?

"Let's go, it's almost time." Lu Yuan said.

Shen Suian hummed and stopped looking at Song Xiuzhi.

Song Xiuzhi chose to sell wine in the pleasure boat simply to make Lu Heng sympathize with her current situation.

He was forced to drift here, but still refused to bow his head.

What a tenacious character.

Lu Heng’s favorite is the white lotus that blooms in the muddy ground.

The box that Lu Yuan booked happened to have a view of the small pleasure boat where Song Xiuzhi was, but Song Xiuzhi could not see them.

Shen Sui'an's attention was not entirely on Song Xiuzhi, but on admiring the scenery on the shore and around the pleasure boat.

At this time, the lanterns are just beginning to light up, and there are colorful lights everywhere. The scenery is like a dream, which makes people unable to resist their appetite.

The sound of the piano is gentle and the sound of the flute is melodious. The wind blows up layers of tiny ripples on the surface of the river and a bright moon is swaying in the water.

It really makes people feel relaxed and happy.

This is the most relaxing moment for Shen Suian after his rebirth.

She glanced at Lu Yuan and raised her glass, "Thank you, my husband."

Marrying Lu Yuan is really a good thing for her.

If the marriage had not been arranged, it would not be so easy for her to break off the engagement. Even if she was lucky enough to break off the engagement, Shen Jianglin would definitely force her to marry someone else. She didn't know how hard she would have to work to get her freedom.

But Lu Yuan will soon give her everything she wants.

He was powerful, but short-lived.

Even though he was born out of wedlock in the Lu family, he was the commander of the Pacification Division. Other members of the Lu family only dared to look down on him behind his back, but in front of him, they were all like quails.

After another year, she will find a way to get Lu Yuan to split up the family, and then they can live separately, even if Lu Yuan dies in the future.

She also doesn't have to live in the Lu family's disgusting mansion.

Shen Sui'an sincerely thanked Lu Yuan.

"What are you thanking me for?" Lu Yuan asked in a low voice.

"Thank you for bringing me to such a nice place and enjoying such delicious food." Shen Suian said with a smile.

Lu Yuan looked at her with deep eyes, "Madam, how are you going to thank me?"

Shen Sui'an was stunned. How could he express his gratitude?

Lu Yuan picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Shen Sui'an, "I accept Madam's thanks."

When they left, Shen Sui'an looked back at Song Xiuzhi's small houseboat, but saw that the servant beside Lu Heng was handing a package to Song Xiuzhi, and the two were talking about something.

She withdrew her gaze indifferently and saw Lu Yuan extending his hand towards her.

Shen Sui'an curled his lips into a smile and placed his hand in his palm.

At night, Shen Sui'an's waist and legs were sore, her voice was hoarse, and her fingers were gently bitten by him.

"I like the way your wife expresses her gratitude." The low and hoarse voice was close to her ear.

Shen Sui'an closed his eyes, but the trembling in his body had not yet subsided.

She didn't have the energy to talk to him.
