After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Ye Zhuxi had a sudden flash of inspiration and quickly ran into the house.

As soon as she ran into the room, she saw Ye Zhenyu lying motionless on the bed.

"Daddy!"

Ye Zhuxi rushed onto the bed, grabbed Ye Zhenyu's hand, and tears of emotion streamed down her face.

Seeing that Ye Zhenyu's eyes were tightly closed and he didn't respond no matter how she called him, she turned around anxiously.

"Has my father always been like this? When will he wake up?"

Fu Jingyuan walked in and looked down at Ye Zhenyu, whose face appeared normal.

After being rescued, Ye Zhenyu was as pale as a dead man. It was only through years of dedicated care that he gradually recovered.

"Don't be sad. I've seen a witch doctor, and he's been cured. He'll wake up soon!"

Five years ago, Lu Chuan had already noticed something amiss with the medicine he gave Fu Jingyuan. If Ye Zhenyu were to take it, he would surely die from a blood explosion within three days. However, they did not know that he also knew medicine and secretly replaced the medicine with one that could save Ye Zhenyu's life in a critical moment.

However, he was ambushed and his heart was severely damaged. By the time Ying arrived, he had already collapsed. If it weren't for the medicine that kept him alive, he would have died then and there.

Ye Zhuxi was unaware of what Fu Jingyuan had done. Seeing her father unconscious, she felt a pang of sadness.

When Fu Jingyuan reached out, she gently dodged his hand as he tried to grab her.

With his hands empty, Fu Jingyuan silently withdrew them.

Ye Zhuxi gently tidied Ye Zhenyu's hair and said softly, "I don't want to go back. I want to stay here and take care of Father. You can go back by yourself in a little while!"

Fu Jingyuan knew she resented him, so he didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he turned and walked out of the thatched hut.

He Ye originally hated Fu Jingyuan's actions back then, but seeing him busy with the general's affairs every day, and with Ying telling her the truth, she no longer hates him as much.

"Miss, we can take care of the master here. You should go back with Fu Jingyuan!"

“Recently, the Dazhao government has been in turmoil, and Fu Jingyuan is the one with the most power. If they find out that you are here, they will definitely arrest you to threaten him. At that time, they will also know that the general is not dead.”

Ye Zhuxi lowered her eyes, her face expressionless, and after a long while, she slowly spoke: "I don't know, give me some time to think about it!"

He Ye knew that she still couldn't let go of what happened back then, so she took her hand and told her everything that had happened and what Fu Jingyuan had done.

……

"So, Miss, let bygones be bygones. You're very happy now that you have your little lady."

Ye Zhuxi's heart softened when she thought of Miaomiao.

Fu Jingyuan stood outside for a long time, quietly waiting for Ye Zhuxi.

Ying came out, wanting to comfort him but not knowing what to say. At that time, she also knew about her master's plan, but she did not stop him.

"Why doesn't Master just tell Madam those things? Maybe she won't blame you if she hears them!"

Fu Jingyuan's face remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the distance: "No, so what if she knows? What's done is done!"

Ying opened her mouth, but then didn't know what to say.

"After everything is over, you don't need to follow me anymore. Go do what you want to do!"

Ying was startled and quickly asked, "Does Master not want me to continue following you?"

Fu Jingyuan smiled and said, "It's time for you to settle down and start a family. Don't keep that young lady waiting."

Speaking of this, Ying immediately thought of lotus leaves, and he smiled helplessly.

"It wasn't her who was anxious, it was me!"

Fu Jingyuan chuckled. They really were sisters, both of them liked to procrastinate. Weren't they the same way with him back then?

Ye Zhuxi sat for a long time before reluctantly letting go of her father's hand, getting up and walking out of the thatched hut.

At this moment, light snow was falling outside. Fu Jingyuan was standing in the courtyard with a lot of snow on his shoulders, but he didn't look disheveled at all. He was tall and straight, and he blended in with the snowy scenery, looking as graceful as a painting.

"Big brother!"

Fu Jingyuan felt a pair of soft little hands hugging him from behind. His heart suddenly raced, and he grabbed the hands that were hugging him, holding them tightly in his palm.

He turned around, his eyes filled with a tender yet urgent gaze: "I thought you weren't coming out."

Ye Zhuxi frowned and punched him lightly: "Then why are you waiting for me?"

That's why I've been waiting for you!

Fu Jingyuan smiled indulgently and gently cupped her slightly cold face in his hand.

His voice was low and earnest: "So, you're finally coming back with me?"

"Yeah, you'll get distracted if I'm here!"

Having received her affirmation, Fu Jingyuan bent down and hugged her: "Be careful your feet get cold, I'll carry you out!"

Ye Zhuxi felt sorry for him and brushed the snow off his fox fur coat, muttering, "You knew your feet would freeze, yet you still stood there in the yard getting soaked in the snow like an idiot!"

Fu Jingyuan didn't dare to go in because he was afraid of upsetting her.

He didn't reply, but held her tightly.

"..."

By the time we were heading back, the snow had stopped.

He Ye reluctantly clung to Ye Zhuxi, her eyes red from crying.

"Miss, please come and visit me more often!"

Ye Zhuxi hugged her tightly, reluctant to let her go: "Yes, yes, I will definitely come to see you. Once everything is over, we can go home!"

On the way back, Ye Zhuxi leaned absentmindedly against Fu Jingyuan's chest, fiddling with his sleeve.

Worried that she might fall, Fu Jingyuan rode very slowly.

"what happened?"

Ye Zhuxi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking her mind.

"Miao Miao always thought Miao Xingren was her father, and Miao Xingren treated her very well and loved her very much. I don't know how to explain this to her when I go back!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyuan pursed his lips. No one wants their child to call someone else "Dad," let alone his child.

He remained silent for a long time, and only when Ye Zhuxi thought he was angry did he slowly speak.

"Since Miao Miao likes Miao Xingren, let her keep calling him that. But when we get back, we need to tell her the truth. It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, as long as she knows it!"

Ye Zhuxi looked up in disbelief: "You don't mind Miao Miao calling Miao Xingren 'Daddy'?"

Fu Jingyuan smiled indulgently, "Of course I mind, but we also need to make our daughter happy, right?"

Ye Zhuxi happily turned her head and kissed the man, her eyes crinkling: "Thank you for your understanding, my husband. I'll give you a back massage when we get back!"

Fu Jingyuan instinctively protected her body.

After she finished kissing him and sat back down, he leaned closer to her with a wicked grin: "Just a back massage? No reward?"

His voice was low and suggestive, his breath lightly brushing against her neck.

Recalling how he had made her unable to get out of bed a while ago, Ye Zhuxi stiffened and glared at him angrily.

"no!"

Fu Jingyuan raised an eyebrow. If she refused him now, he had plenty of ways to make her submit when they got back!
