After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

The general's mansion was in complete chaos at this point.

Madam Gu paced anxiously back and forth in the general's front hall.

She never imagined that Ye Qizheng's influence had extended so far, even controlling the emperor.

She originally wanted to go to the palace to seek justice, but the emperor said directly that the evidence was conclusive and let Ye Qizheng decide how to deal with Fu Jingyuan.

Now, the entire General's Mansion is under surveillance, and they can neither go out nor come in. She can only pray that Ye Zhuxi and the others will not be found before Ye Zhenyu returns.

Early the next morning.

When Ye Zhuxi woke up, she felt dizzy. As she opened her eyes and tried to get up, she felt a wave of soreness and weakness throughout her body.

When she looked down, she realized that she was lying naked on the haystack, with her clothes barely covering her chest.

"..."

She propped herself up and sat up, glancing at Fu Jingyuan lying beside her...

"Bang~~"

Ye Zhuxi felt her mind explode. She looked in disbelief at the scratches on the man's body, the bloody wounds on his back, and the wound on his waist, which had probably reopened due to the "intense exercise" last night.

It looks so "miserable" no matter how you look at it!

Recalling what happened last night, she took the initiative to hug and kiss Fu Jingyuan, then pushed him down, and then took off his clothes...

As the scenes unfolded before her eyes, Ye Zhuxi felt she no longer needed to live.

She actually forced herself on Fu Jingyuan!

"..."

When Fu Jingyuan woke up, Ye Zhuxi was no longer by his side; he was alone on the haystack.

Looking at the inconspicuous fallen red petals on the haystack, he frowned slightly, his eyes darkening and deep.

Looking back on last night, he didn't know that his self-control, which he was originally so proud of, was useless against Ye Zhuxi.

Even now, he still clearly remembers the softness of Ye Zhuxi's body and her soft moans...

Seeing that no one was around, his handsome face darkened, and he stared intently at the cave entrance.

Ye Zhuxi hid timidly, secretly observing Fu Jingyuan's increasingly cold and handsome face from a distance. She was so frightened that she squatted under the rock and patted her chest: "Luckily I hid quickly!"

All day long, Ye Zhuxi didn't dare to see Fu Jingyuan, afraid that he was hungry. She even kindly picked some fruit, washed it, and placed it by the entrance of the cave.

When Fu Jingyuan woke up, he saw several fruits wrapped in leaves lying at the entrance of the cave. He knew without a doubt that Ye Zhuxi had secretly placed them there.

Thinking of how she was sneaking around and didn't dare to confront him, he sighed, a hint of a smile in his deep eyes, unsure of what to say.

As evening fell, Ye Zhuxi peeked out and saw that Fu Jingyuan had fallen asleep again. She then tiptoed to put her things away and got up to leave.

"How long are you going to hide?!"

Fu Jingyuan, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked at her with a deep gaze, speaking in a low and pleasant voice.

Ye Zhuxi paused in her turn, then stood stiffly in place with her back straight.

Seeing her clutching her dress tightly with both hands, Fu Jingyuan's eyes suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "Come here!"

"..."

Ye Zhuxi remained unmoved, still standing outside the cave entrance.

"If you won't come to me, I'll go to you!"

As Fu Jingyuan spoke, he leaned against the wall and prepared to get up.

Hearing the noise behind her, Ye Zhuxi's heart tightened. She knew that Fu Jingyuan's wound had reopened and he couldn't move around carelessly, so she could only obediently walk up to him.

Seeing his handsome and delicate face, faintly visible in the night, and with a sickly pallor, Ye Zhuxi was overwhelmed with self-reproach and lowered her head again.

Seeing that she kept her head down and dared not look at him, he gently pursed his lips, the darkness in his eyes becoming even more profound and serene.

"..."

Fu Jingyuan reached out and lifted her delicate chin, making her look up at him.

"Ye Zhuxi, do you want to be a heartless woman?"

Ye Zhuxi: "???"

After she finally understood what Fu Jingyuan meant, she was so shocked she almost knelt down, and hurriedly shook her head: "I don't want to."

Fu Jingyuan continued to question, "Then why are you avoiding me?"

"I……"

She wanted to argue, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

My behavior today was indeed a bit excessive, just like what others say, "a heartless man who forgets his roots once he's on his heels."

"Ok?"

He asked again in a low voice, his tone slightly raised, his eyes fixed on her.

Ye Zhuxi clasped her hands tightly together, bit her lip, and cautiously tentatively asked, "How about... I take responsibility?"

Fu Jingyuan lowered his eyes and thought carefully, but said something that made Ye Zhuxi even more flustered.

"Then let's go back and tell your aunt that I'm going to marry you!"

"No, no!" Ye Zhuxi shook her head and refused without even thinking.

Fu Jingyuan's gaze, which had softened, instantly turned into a cold, sharp light. He stared intently at her without saying a word, his eyes seeming capable of easily devouring a person's soul!

Realizing she had misspoke, Ye Zhuxi quickly corrected herself.

“My mother…she may have some misunderstandings about you. If we go back and tell her directly that you want to marry me, she will definitely disagree.”

Fu Jingyuan looked at her coldly, then sneered: "You mean if your aunt doesn't agree, you can't possibly marry me!"

"I'm definitely going to take responsibility for my older brother, but if he's with me because of my recklessness last night... then it's really unnecessary..."

"After all, we... aren't in love... because we're tied together by medication... that's really bad for you."

Ye Zhuxi became less and less confident as she spoke, because with each word she uttered, Fu Jingyuan's expression grew colder. In the end, she didn't dare to look at him again after she finished speaking.

"..."

The surroundings fell silent instantly, with only the sound of their breathing in the background.

After a long silence, Fu Jingyuan said coldly, "So, Ye Zhuxi, you mean that last night it didn't matter who it was, as long as it was a man, right?"

"of course not!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyuan's expression softened slightly, but there was still no trace of happiness on his face.

"I, Fu Jingyuan, will only have one woman in my life. Even if I'm not responsible for you, I will be responsible for myself!"

Ye Zhuxi was utterly shocked. It was the first time she had ever heard a man say that he would only have one woman, and that woman was the future emperor, Fu Jingyuan.

She stared blankly at Fu Jingyuan: "After I marry my brother, will he forgive and forget what happened before?"

"...You are my wife, and I certainly won't hold a grudge." He thought for a moment and replied earnestly.

"Really?" Ye Zhuxi's eyes widened, and she asked again uncertainly.

Fu Jingyuan smiled helplessly, his beautiful phoenix eyes slightly raised.

"real!"

Ye Zhuxi felt a sudden light up her eyes, and all her reserve and fear were thrown aside in one fell swoop.

"I'll marry him! I'll marry him!"
