After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

When Fu Jingyuan was brought out, he was covered in blood, and his handsome face was stained with blood.

His eyes remained calm and undisturbed, but a soft light flashed in them when he saw Ye Zhuxi.

"Big brother, are you hurt?"

Ignoring the stares of those present, Ye Zhuxi ran over, grabbed his hand, and looked him up and down, her brows furrowed with worry.

Fu Jingyuan's stiff expression softened, and he reached out to take her flustered hand, holding it tightly in his palm.

"Don't worry, this blood isn't mine, I'm fine!"

"..."

Ye Xiaoran looked at their clasped hands and suddenly felt a pang of pain.

He looked up at Ye Zhuxi, only to see her looking up at Fu Jingyuan, her eyes filled with love and tenderness...

Ye Xiaoran was somewhat surprised. No wonder she suddenly disliked Mu Zichen; it turned out it was related to Fu Jingyuan.

Seeing them shake hands, Ye Zhenyu didn't think anything of it. He walked over and patted Fu Jingyuan on the shoulder: "It's good that you're alright!"

"..."

Li Wenyue originally wanted to get some recognition from Fu Jingyuan, but he didn't even give her a glance, which made her furious and she clenched her handkerchief.

"..."

The emperor's expression was rather unpleasant. Fu Jingyuan had been released, yet not a single person came to thank him!

"Your Majesty, I will write a memorial regarding the border matters after I return. We will take our leave now!"

The emperor nodded: "You must be tired from your journey. Go back and get some rest. There's no need to rush."

After that, everyone left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Ye Zhenyu had other important matters to attend to, so he left first.

Ye Zhuxi turned around and looked at Ye Xiaoran, who had been standing silently behind her, and smiled at him: "Thank you, Third Prince!"

Ye Xiaoran: "It's no trouble at all!"

Looking into his lifeless eyes, Ye Zhuxi asked with concern, "How are your eyes?"

Speaking of this, Ye Xiaoran realized that he could see things again, but seeing Ye Zhuxi's worried expression, he said...

"It's alright, it'll be fine in a few days!"

Ye Zhuxi frowned.

Li Wenyue's gaze remained fixed on Fu Jingyuan the entire time. Seeing that he remained silent, she took the initiative to step forward and said, "Young Master Fu, it's been a long time!"

"..."

Fu Jingyuan glanced at her indifferently, nodded, and remained expressionless.

Seeing his coldness towards Li Wenyue, Ye Zhuxi smiled awkwardly: "My older brother is naturally not fond of smiling, Miss Li, please don't take it to heart!"

Li Wenyue shook her head indifferently, looking directly at Fu Jingyuan: "I know he doesn't like to smile, it's okay!"

As she spoke, a pleasant smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes were full of interest.

"..."

Fu Jingyuan sensed amusement in her tone. He looked up at her coldly, a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Seeing Fu Jingyuan angry made Li Wenyue extremely happy. Being able to make a cold and aloof person jump up and down proves her importance in his heart!

Fu Jingyuan glanced at her once and then looked away, but to Li Wenyue it seemed as if the two of them were doing something behind everyone's back, which was both exciting and thrilling!

Ye Zhuxi didn't notice anything amiss. She simply bid farewell to Ye Xiaoran and then took Fu Jingyuan to board the carriage back to the mansion.

There were only the two of them in the carriage. Ye Zhuxi reached out and hugged Fu Jingyuan tightly, resting her chin on his shoulder.

Thinking of his attitude towards Li Wenyue just now, she smiled and said, "Brother, Miss Li just testified for you in front of the Emperor, why were you so cold to her!"

"You want me to be passionate towards other women?" Fu Jingyuan retorted.

"..."

This question stumped Ye Zhuxi. She remained silent for a moment, then pursed her lips.

"That's not true..."

Fu Jingyuan looked down at her, a smile in his eyes: "What is that?"

She lowered her eyes and thought carefully for a moment: "I... I just want my older brother to smile at me and be good to me!"

Fu Jingyuan raised his hand and gently stroked the tip of her nose, then smiled indulgently.

When no one is around, the two of them usually stick together.

Ye Zhuxi watched the man getting closer and closer to her, her gaze shifting to his slightly pale lips. Knowing that he had been wronged recently, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her hand to gently touch his thin lips.

Seeing the heartache in her eyes, Fu Jingyuan took her hand away, a smile playing on his lips: "So you're worried about me?"

Seeing that he could still smile despite all the suffering he had endured, Ye Zhuxi was somewhat angry.

"I'm so worried about you, and you're still laughing?" She pretended to push him away.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jingyuan lowered his head and quickly captured her red lips in a deep kiss.

Ye Zhuxi didn't react in time, her mouth agape in surprise.

The man seized the opportunity to quickly extend his tongue and hook it around hers, deepening the kiss forcefully.

……

A kiss made them both lose their senses and become infatuated. Feeling the man's hands moving over her body, Ye Zhuxi quickly pushed him away.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jingyuan was clearly not done kissing, his voice was a little hoarse and urgent.

Ye Zhuxi glanced at the coachman outside the carriage, her face flushed, and gave the man a reproachful look to remind him.

"We're in a carriage now!"

"That's perfect!" Fu Jingyuan smiled wickedly, reaching out to wrap his arm around her slender waist. "We haven't tried it in a carriage yet!"

Ye Zhuxi was shocked and could hardly believe that this was still the aloof Fu Jingyuan. He wasn't like this before!

Seeing her incredulous expression, Fu Jingyuan leaned down to kiss her again.

"and many more!"

Ye Zhuxi quickly raised her hand to block his kiss that was about to fall.

"What's wrong?" The man frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Ye Zhuxi said righteously, "Brother, what you're doing is blatant lewdness in broad daylight."

"..."

Fu Jingyuan felt helpless, but seeing the smile that secretly crept onto her lips, his gaze softened, and he had to abandon the idea of ​​kissing her.

In the general's mansion.

"Mom, we are back!"

Ye Zhuxi pulled Fu Jingyuan along happily towards the Purple Bamboo Garden.

As soon as I walked in, I saw the two of them embracing.

Upon hearing the sound, Madam Gu quickly pushed away Ye Zhenyu, who was holding her.

Ye Zhenyu felt a lightness in his arms, and he reluctantly let go, looking helplessly at the two people walking over.

Ye Zhuxi looked the two of them over and said, "No wonder Father said he had something important to do and had to leave first. He was worried that Mother would miss him!"

She always knew that her father's love for her mother had never changed. The two of them were very loving when she was a child. Having grown up surrounded by their love, she also developed the idea that when she looked for a husband, she had to find someone with whom she could be together for life.

Unexpectedly, they fell right into Mu Zichen's trap.

Ye Zhenyu glared at her: "You're such a chatterbox!"

"Oh dear, let's leave right away so as not to disturb your enjoyment!"

She finished speaking with a smile and then walked out with Fu Jingyuan.

"..."

Looking at her mischievous appearance, Madam Gu felt both fondness and helplessness, and shook her head with a smile.

"Whose personality did she take after!"

Ye Zhenyu knew she was talking about him, and gently took her hand: "She is my daughter, Ye Zhenyu's daughter, so she won't be as rigid as other rich young ladies!"
