People who practice martial arts have more sensitive five senses than ordinary people. Fu Jiuli's eyes quickly adapted to the darkness in the bedroom and saw the scene inside the room clearly.

Everything was completely different from what he had imagined.

His wife was the only one on the bed, and her clothes were intact, even her shoes were on. She was sitting upright on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a smile in her bright eyes.

Fu Jiuli looked at the mess she had made in front of her, lowered her eyes slightly, and was a little afraid to look at her.

Shen Nanxing swallowed back all the questions that were on the tip of his tongue when he saw his pitiful appearance.

She stood up, trotted towards the man, threw herself into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly.

"Husband, there's a bad guy!" Her voice was aggrieved, pointing under the bed and complaining: "It's this guy, he broke into the house and robbed!"

Fu Jiuli held her in his arms, his heart finally at ease. He looked in the direction of her finger and saw the man who had come in earlier, tied up and tightly stuffed under the bed.

He was covered in dust and looked extremely miserable.

Tang Mengze's eyes widened in horror: "Nine Thousand Years Old, I didn't! It was you who made..."

Fu Jiuli's cold gaze suddenly shot over, and Tang Mengze lost his voice instantly. He felt a thick layer of sweat on his back and couldn't utter a word.

"My wife never lies."

After Fu Jiuli finished speaking, he pulled his wife closer to him and said in a cold voice, "Leng Ye, send this robber to the authorities!"

Hearing the master's order, Leng Ye didn't have time to sort out his thoughts. He hurriedly picked up Tang Mengze, carried him on his shoulders, and strode out.

The sounds outside gradually faded away.

"Sir, it was you who asked me to..."

"Shut up, you're just a burglar, come with me to see the authorities!"

"Sir, I am wronged... Ugh..."

After a moment, the air became quiet.

Apart from the slight sound of the wind, the only sounds were the two people's breathing entwined with each other.

Shen Nanxing came out of the man's arms and looked up at him.

As soon as Fu Jiuli's eyes met hers, he looked away, feeling very guilty.

"Husband." She called him.

"Huh?" He answered her.

"Why are you back so late today?"

"I had a lot of things to do today, so I was delayed for a while." He never mentioned that he had been outside in the cold wind for two hours.

Shen Nanxing looked around. Wood chips were scattered all over the bedroom, and a large area of ​​starlight was exposed in the open doorway.

"Tonight we..."

Fu Jiuli followed her gaze and looked at the door that she had kicked down. She pursed her lips and said, "Sleep in the west wing tonight. We can move back here after it's repaired."

Shen Nanxing nodded obediently: "Okay."

She was very well behaved and he held her hand as they walked all the way to the west wing.

The two of them took a quiet bath, then lay side by side on the bed in their underwear, but there was a huge gap between them, as if there was a chasm between them.

Shen Nanxing stretched her hand as far as she could before she could reach the man's hand.

Fu Jiuli took her hand in his and turned his head to look at her: "Can't sleep?"

Shen Nanxing turned sideways and looked at him seriously: "Fu Jiuli, the man today was not a robber."

Fu Jiuli's breath caught in his throat, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand. After a long while, he managed to utter, "I'm sorry..."

Shen Nanxing said softly: "I don't blame you. But can you..."

"Can you please stop pushing me onto others?" She endured it again and again, but her eyes still turned red.

The lady's choked sobs and red eyes made Fu Jiuli feel a pang of pain in his heart. He stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms.

Pressing his wife's head into his arms, Fu Jiuli's eyes rarely turned red: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Nanxing, it's my fault..."
