After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

When Miao Xingren arrived, Ye Fan had already been unconscious for a long time.

Seeing her pale face and weak breathing, he was furious.

"Fu Jingyuan, do you want Ye Fan dead?"

Fu Jingyuan held the woman's hand tightly, his heart aching, his eyes filled with regret.

"Miao Xingren, you were able to save her last time, you'll definitely have a way this time too!"

Miao Xingren said with a gloomy face, "Fu Jingyuan, it's your own incompetence that prevented you from protecting her, so why are you asking me to save her?"

Fu Jingyuan remained silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"Because you love Ye Fan, you won't watch her die!"

"Fine, I can save her life, but you can never see her again, not even until you die!"

Fu Yizhou raised his eyes and looked at him coldly.

"Miao Xingren, the person Ye Fan loves is me!"

Miao Xingren was so angry he laughed.

"You killed her twice, how dare you say you love her!"

"..."

Fu Jingyuan didn't speak, but tenderly touched Ye Fan's pale face. Miao Xingren was telling the truth. Even if he had been cursed and his memory had been erased, he was the one who hurt her.

Looking into his wounded eyes, Miao Xingren finally felt a sense of vengeful pleasure.

He remained silent for a long time before speaking, his voice soft but firm.

"...You saved Ye Fan, and I promise I will never appear in front of her again!"

Remember what you said!

Ye Fan's injuries this time were not serious, but the Gu worm that had been keeping her alive inside her body died. It was a Gu worm that Miao Xingren had gone through great hardships to find, and there was no other one like it in the world.

The only way to save her life is to link it with the life of another person; if she dies, that person will also die.

Without a second thought, Fu Jingyuan agreed to link his life with Ye Fan's.

Miao Xingren took out a red and eerie box, from which two green Gu worms crawled out and entered the bodies of Ye Fan and Fu Jingyuan on the bed.

When the Gu worm entered his body, Fu Jingyuan felt excruciating pain all over his body, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Seeing his pained expression, Miao Xingren curled his lips into a cold smile.

"You felt it, didn't you? She was in just as much pain as you are now after she fell. She held on for Miaomiao's sake, waiting for me."

"So, Fu Jingyuan, you really deserve to die!"

Miao Xingren grew angrier as he spoke, and showed no mercy as he inserted the most painful organ into his body.

Fu Jingyuan's face contorted in pain, but his eyes remained fixed on Ye Fan.

……

From inside the dungeon came Ye Zhuxi's angry screams.

"Ugh! I'm so angry! Let me out!"

"You bunch of clueless bastards, you even dare to imprison me. When the Crown Prince arrives, I'll have him kill you all."

The guards inside impatiently picked at their ears. This woman had said these words countless times. Not only did the Crown Prince not come to see her, but even her personal maid avoided her like the plague.

In their words, they were facing certain death, yet they remained so arrogant and domineering.

Seeing that no one had paid any attention to her calls after calling for a long time, Ye Zhuxi angrily kicked the cell door.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Just after she finished speaking, Fu Jingyuan walked in.

His handsome face was very pale, and his deep, sinister eyes were icy cold, so cold it was terrifying.

Ye Zhuxi seemed oblivious to the murderous intent in the man's eyes as she accused him.

"Jingyuan, why did you take so long to arrive? You have no idea how these vile creatures have tormented me. They made me live in this filthy place and fed me leftovers. I want you to kill them!"

Fu Jingyuan looked at her coldly, his tone icy.

"These are all my orders!"

"..."

Ye Zhuxi was stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she angrily shouted, "Fu Jingyuan, didn't you say you loved me the most? Why are you treating me like this? Could it be that you've really fallen for my substitute?"

"The person I love is Ye Zhuxi, not a despicable and shameless woman like you."

"Also, shouldn't you be the stand-in, Wan Xiaoqing?"

Ye Zhuxi's face, which had been angry, turned pale the moment she heard Fu Jingyuan call out Wan Xiaoqing's name.

"What Wan Xiaoqing? I don't understand what you're saying!"

Fu Jingyuan's icy gaze fell on her evasive eyes: "You are the maid that Miao Xingren placed by Ye Fan's side. He wants you to imitate Ye Fan's every move so that if I discover anything later, I can take the opportunity to hand over the fake Ye Zhuxi to replace her..."

"But what you don't know is that from the moment I saw you appear, I knew you were a fake!"

"Impossible!" Wan Xiaoqing shook her head in disbelief: "You knew, so why were you still so good to me, even making love to me!"

"If I don't treat you well, how will they know I haven't remembered! As for pleasure..."

At this point, Fu Jingyuan's disgust deepened.

Are you sure we did anything?

Speaking of this, Wan Xiaoqing thought back carefully. After Fu Jingyuan carried her to bed, he hadn't done anything yet, and she had drifted off to sleep. When she woke up and saw that she wasn't dressed, she thought...

"I know you're thirsty. I originally planned to find you a man. You should be glad that this face belongs to Ye Zhuxi, otherwise you would have been given countless beggars and vagrants!"

Wan Xiaoqing backed away in fear: "You disgusting lunatic!"

"I'm a madman, so be prepared to pay the price for angering a madman."

Looking into his fierce eyes, Wan Xiaoqing trembled with fear.

"What are you going to do!"

Fu Jingyuan didn't look at her; he turned and gave instructions to his subordinates.

"She wants a man, right? Go find a few beggars on the street, young or old, but before that, peel the skin off her face. Remember, don't let her die!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaoqing's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. She then crawled over and shouted.

"No, Fu Jingyuan! I won't do it again! I won't do it again! Please spare me!"

Fu Jingyuan originally intended to keep her around to fool Fu Chenchu, but now she has only gotten what she deserved.

……

When Ye Fan woke up again, the first thing he saw was Miao Xingren sitting by the bed and Miao Miao, whose eyes were red from crying.

When Miao Miao saw her open her eyes, she looked at her with teary eyes and a face full of heartache: "Mother is awake, Mother, are you still in pain!"

Seeing her pitiful and heartbreaking appearance made Ye Fan feel sad, and she struggled to raise her hand to gently wipe away her tears.

"Mother's pain is gone, Miaomiao doesn't need to worry."

After comforting Miao Miao, she looked up at Miao Xingren.

She regained her memory and knew he had deceived her for years. He had even planted a Gu worm that repelled Fu Jingyuan in order to prevent her from falling in love with him again, so no matter how much Fu Jingyuan loved her or how good he was to her, she would only feel disgust.

Miao Xingren was also in great pain. He had liked Ye Zhuxi since childhood, and he had gotten through the most difficult days of the years by thinking about her.

When he lost all sense of decency and struggled to climb to a place where he could see her, she actually said that she had fallen in love with someone else, who was the son of his enemy. How could he not hate him?

In order to be with her, he tried every means to break them up. Even after he learned that she had jumped off a cliff, he used all his abilities to find her. He even went so far as to use his own blood essence to feed the most evil Gu worm to save her, or deceive her.

Even now, he doesn't think he did anything wrong.

"lady……"

"Don't call me that!"

Ye Fan interrupted him coldly with his eyes downcast.

"My name is Ye Zhuxi, not Ye Fan, and I am not your wife!"
