After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

"Get away!"

Ye Zhuxi kicked the man away.

Fu Jinnian frowned, his face turning ashen. How dare this woman kick him?

"I have absolutely no connection with Fu Jingyuan. You've got the wrong person!"

She knew Fu Jingyuan's current situation, and in order to save her own life, she could only say this.

"Oh, but I heard that you and he have a child?"

"The child is mine and Miao Xingren's; he has nothing to do with the child!"

Fu Jinnian curled his lips in disdain: "You have a child with Miao Xingren and have an ambiguous relationship with Fu Jingyuan. Should I call you despicable or say that my brother has unique taste, liking a woman like you!"

Ye Zhuxi was not the kind of woman who would passively accept her fate. When she heard the man scolding her, she retorted without any mercy: "Hey, big brother, we haven't done anything to wrong you, have we? Why are you scolding us?"

Fu Jinnian's eyes were icy cold, but a handsome smile curved his lips.

"In what way can Fu Jingyuan compare to me? Just because he has a scheming mother, he was able to ascend to the position of Crown Prince. If he hadn't come back, that position should have been mine!"

Ye Zhuxi frowned. How could Fu Jingyuan, who sat in that position, be completely clueless? He was not only politically astute but also a formidable military strategist. Otherwise, how could he have conquered Daqi in just a few short years in his previous life?

"Stop talking nonsense. Fu Jingyuan climbed his way up. Besides, if you could have been the crown prince, you would have been long ago. Why can't you be the one who is back? Don't make excuses for your incompetence. In addition, he suffered a lot during the years he was gone, while you were living a life of luxury here. You have no right to say anything bad about him!"

After Ye Zhuxi finished speaking, Fu Jinnian's eyes were filled with malice, as if he would kill her in the next second.

When Ye Zhuxi said these words, she was prepared to be killed by him; she just couldn't bear to part with Miaomiao.

Just as she was about to close her eyes in fear, the man suddenly laughed.

"Didn't you say you had absolutely no connection with Fu Jingyuan? Why are you still protecting him like this?"

"..." Ye Zhuxi was speechless.

"I'm a kind-hearted girl, and I can't stand seeing him wronged, is that not allowed?"

"Since you've put it that way, then I'll grant your wish!"

"I'm quite curious, given how protective you are of him, if you were to marry me, would he still love you as deeply as ever?"

Ye Zhuxi yelled, "You madman! Get out of my way! You'll die a horrible death if you dare touch me!"

Fu Jinnian ignored her curses and slowly unbuttoned his clothes under her shocked gaze.

Ye Zhuxi shrank back in fright, but the bed was only so big, and the man reached out and pulled her back, then pressed her down hard on his body.

"You shameless woman! I am Miao Xingren's wife. Aren't you afraid he will complain to the Emperor?"

Fu Jinnian showed no fear.

"I'm not afraid of a mere minor official. But if you produce Fu Jingyuan, I might consider letting you go!"

When he kissed her, Ye Zhuxi struggled desperately: "No, get away from me!"

Her hands were tied, and she couldn't break free. Fu Jinnian smirked and was about to kiss her when she dodged him and kissed her cheek instead.

Just as he was about to continue kissing, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Ye Zhuxi felt a sudden lightness on her body as the man was violently thrown out and crashed to the ground.

She opened her eyes and saw Fu Jingyuan's worried gaze. She knew she was safe, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

Fu Jingyuan kicked Fu Jinnian several times before going over to untie Ye Zhuxi.

As soon as Ye Zhuxi was free, she hugged him with tears in her eyes and cried out in grievance, "Fu Jingyuan, you've finally come!"

Fu Jingyuan reached out and gently wiped away her tears, comforting her softly, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm here!"

Looking at the loving couple in front of him, Fu Jinnian couldn't help but mock, "Your Highness, do you not know? Just now, this woman kept saying that she had nothing to do with you, and kept emphasizing that she was Miao Xingren's wife. Your Highness is so worried about her, don't you think you've misjudged her?"

Ye Zhuxi was shocked. She hadn't expected that this scoundrel would tell Fu Jingyuan what she had just said. How vicious!

Fu Jingyuan's dark eyes revealed no emotion as he coldly looked at Fu Jinnian.

"Instead of wasting your time worrying about my affairs, you should be thinking about how to explain today's events to the Emperor!"

After he finished speaking, Li An walked in and gave Fu Jinnian a good beating.

Fu Jingyuan didn't want her to see such a bloody scene, so he pulled her away.

Back at the mansion, he released her with a cold face, without saying a word to her, and turned to walk into his study.

Ye Zhuxi knew he was angry. She pouted, feeling wronged, thinking that she was also a victim!

But when she thought about what she had said, which was indeed excessive, she glanced at the tightly closed door and pursed her lips.

To appease Fu Jingyuan, she turned around and made a bunch of delicious desserts, bringing them to his study.

But Fu Jingyuan didn't even glance at her, only coldly telling her to put the things down.

Over the course of several days, Fu Jingyuan not only treated her coldly, but he would also only come back to sleep after she had fallen asleep, and by the time she woke up, he was already gone.

Ye Zhuxi was not giving up and started thinking of other ways. Suddenly, she caught sight of a red tulle hanging nearby. The dress was very beautiful and looked extremely alluring. Fu Jingyuan had given it to her before, and she had secretly cursed him a few times. She never expected it would come in handy now.

The one who tied the knot must untie it; it seems that to appease Fu Jingyuan this time, we have to do things his way.

After putting on the clothes, Ye Zhuxi blushed instantly. A large expanse of her snow-white skin was exposed on her chest, and her legs were not hidden at all. As soon as she moved, large sections of her fair legs were exposed.

She pulled at her clothes at her chest, revealing her legs again.

She wanted to change, but then she remembered Fu Jingyuan's coldness towards her these past few days. She gritted her teeth and ordered the maid to call Fu Jingyuan back to his room.

"Your Highness, the Madam needs to speak with you!"

Fu Jingyuan, who was sulking in his study, looked up and asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know, but Madam said it's very important and asked you to go there as soon as possible."

Fu Jingyuan lowered his eyes. He had seen Ye Zhuxi trying to please him these past few days, but the thought that she had actually admitted to being Miao Xingren's wife made him angry.

He was both angry that she wouldn't acknowledge him as her husband and afraid that she still harbored feelings for Miao Xingren, since he had forced her to stay with him now.

In the end, Fu Jingyuan couldn't refuse Ye Zhuxi's repeated advances and returned to his room.

He didn't expect that when he opened the door, he would see Ye Zhuxi wearing the thin gauze he had given her before, lying on the bed shyly, her movements full of charm.

Her chest was exposed, her long, slender, white legs were tightly pressed together, and the red gauze contrasted sharply with her snow-white skin, making her exude a seductive charm. Her eyes were slightly red, like a bewitching enchantress who could suck a man's lifeblood at any moment, so mesmerizing that Fu Jingyuan forgot to breathe...
