After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Fu Jingyuan watched from the shadows for as long as Ye Zhuxi and Miao Xingren talked.

Just as Miao Xingren was about to leave, he asked Ye Zhuxi, "Can I hug you one more time?"

His tone was gentle and a little cautious. They had been together for five years, so Ye Zhuxi naturally couldn't bear to part with him. She nodded, walked over, and hugged him.

"Once everything is over, you can go to Daqi to see Miaomiao. She'll be so happy to see you!"

Miao Xingren was about to say something when he caught sight of Fu Jingyuan, who was furious in the distance. His eyes flashed, and he retaliated by raising his hand to hug Ye Zhuxi tightly, then raised an eyebrow at him provocatively.

Fu Jingyuan's eyes flashed with anger, and he walked out with a displeased expression. He pulled Miao Xingren's hand off Ye Zhuxi and then pulled her into his arms.

"You've seen the person, you can leave now!"

Ye Zhuxi was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she saw Miao Xingren looking dejected. She raised her eyes and glared at Fu Jingyuan.

"We weren't finished talking yet, why did you come over?"

Fu Jingyuan lowered his eyes, his brows furrowed with displeasure: "Is there anything you have to say that you have to do behind my back?"

Ye Zhuxi pushed him away, somewhat angrily saying, "You don't believe me?"

Seeing that the two had finally started arguing, Miao Xingren curled his lips into a smug smile.

Fu Jingyuan caused me and Miaomiao to separate, so he should suffer some consequences too.

"Alright, Zhuxi, I understand what the Crown Prince means. He doesn't want you to get too close to me. I'll leave now. Just don't let the Crown Prince take his anger out on you because of me!"

Ye Zhuxi smiled with satisfaction, then turned to glare at Fu Jingyuan: "Look at you, you've never thought about me! Do you even love me?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyuan became even angrier.

"Miao Xingren, stop pretending. I know exactly what you're thinking!"

Miao Xingren looked up, his eyes filled with concern for Ye Zhuxi.

“Your Highness is too kind. I just want you to be gentle with Zhuxi and not make her feel wronged.” As he said this, he looked at her tenderly and continued, “Since I’m in your way, I’ll leave!”

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, feeling sad and dejected.

Ye Zhuxi looked at him and poked Fu Jingyuan with heartache, saying with exasperation, "Look at you, your friend came over to talk to me, and you forced him to this!"

Fu Jingyuan tried to explain, but Ye Zhuxi didn't even glance at him and ran towards Miao Xingren.

"Xingren, I'll take you!"

Fu Jingyuan: "..."

In the palace.

"What? Ye Zhenyu isn't dead?"

"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty! He was rescued by a man named Luo Chuan and is currently still within the territory of Da Zhao Kingdom!"

Fu Chenchu's face darkened: "Who is Luo Chuan? Why would he save Ye Zhenyu for no reason?"

"I don't know, but I heard..." the chief eunuch said, his expression changing, and he dared not continue.

Fu Yizhou waved his hand: "It's alright, go ahead!"

"I heard that Luo Chuan is one of the Crown Prince's men. Could it be that the Crown Prince ordered him to save Ye Zhenyu?"

"..."

Thinking of Fu Jingyuan, Fu Chenchu ​​stood up, his eyes darkening. It wasn't that Fu Jingyuan was incapable of doing this, but when Lu Chuan gave him the medicine, he clearly saw Ye Zhenyu take it, and Ye Zhenyu was also seriously injured on the battlefield. Unless there was a god, there was no way to save him.

Thinking of this, Fu Chenchu ​​angrily threw the memorial on the desk to the ground: "What a Crown Prince! I have schemed and plotted for him, and he dares to betray me!"

Seeing his anger, the chief eunuch quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Crown Prince is still your son, and he would never do anything to betray you!"

"What can't he do? He'd give up everything for a woman. What is there that he wouldn't do!"

"...Your Majesty, should we secretly go and kill Ye Zhenyu?"

Fu Chenchu ​​frowned, then raised his hand and wrote a few words on a piece of paper before handing it to him.

"The high priest will be back tomorrow. Give this to him; he'll know what to do!"

"Yes!"

……

Since sending Miao Xingren away, Ye Zhuxi hasn't said a word to Fu Jingyuan. She even sent him to the study at night and avoided him during the day.

Fu Jingyuan knew she was still angry, and the thought that it was because of Miao Xingren made him angry too.

"Madam, look how well that snowman is built!"

Seeing that she was sullen all day, the maid pointed to the snowman in the yard.

Ye Zhuxi looked up at the plump white snowman in the courtyard and suddenly remembered the snowball fight she and Fu Jingyuan had at the Ye residence a few years ago.

Back then, he was indifferent to her, always wearing a sour face, just like he is now—a silent, withdrawn person who didn't understand her at all.

Ye Zhuxi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and got up and walked into the snow: "Come on, let's build a Fu Jingyuan and give him a good beating!"

The maids: "..."

After finishing his official duties, Fu Jingyuan came to find her and saw her building a snowman while muttering to herself, her face showing both anger and grievance.

He stopped in his tracks, wanting to see what she was up to.

At first, Ye Zhuxi wore gloves to build the snowman, but it wasn't working well, so she simply took off her gloves and used her hands!

When Fu Jingyuan saw her touch the snow, she shivered and pulled her hands away from the cold, but still gritted her teeth and made a big snowball. Her hands were frozen red, and her fair palms were all rosy. She was panting heavily, clearly because she was frozen.

He frowned deeply, stopped dodging, and walked over.

When the maids saw him, their expressions changed and they quickly retreated.

Ye Zhuxi, who was drawing eyes on the snowman, was still unaware that someone was approaching and was happily drawing on the ground.

"Alright, go get me a big radish for the snowman's nose. Fu Jingyuan's nose is quite high and straight!"

"..."

Not hearing a sound, she turned around and saw Fu Jingyuan staring at her with a gloomy face and dark eyes.

Upon seeing him, Ye Zhuxi felt a pang of panic, but then she thought, he hasn't spoken to her for the past few days, and he still has the nerve to give her attitude.

Ye Zhuxi frowned unhappily, pretended not to see it, looked away, and continued what she was doing.

Fu Jingyuan narrowed his sinister eyes, bent down and picked her up from the snow.

Startled, Ye Zhuxi instinctively reached out and hugged his neck. After realizing what was happening, her almond-shaped eyes widened in anger.

"Fu Jingyuan, what exactly do you want to do?"

Fu Jingyuan said in a deep voice, "Don't you know the ground is cold? What if you get frozen?"

Seeing his coldness towards her, Ye Zhuxi felt wronged and her eyes reddened.

Seeing this, she raised her hand and tried to push him away forcefully: "So what if I get frostbite? I don't need your help!"

When he saw her red, tearful eyes and pitiful appearance, Fu Jingyuan, who was initially angry that she didn't take care of her health, instantly lost his temper.
