After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

It would have been better if he hadn't helped her up; the act of helping her up brought out all the grievances deep in his heart.

She suddenly turned her head away, her vision blurred for a moment, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Tears dripped onto his hands.

He looked at her and felt his palms, soaked with her tears, begin to ache, the pain spreading to his heart, making him panic and disoriented.

He asked, somewhat bewildered, "Why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Nianci could only sob and bury her head in his broad chest.

His shirt was soaked with tears.

Shen Ceyan stroked her head and gently rubbed it, coaxing her softly, "Are you feeling unwell because you drank too much? The hangover soup will be brought up in a little while."

Ji Nianci simply shook her head while crying.

How could she have let go of such a good person...?

How could you bear to treat him like that?

She looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, at the man directly above her.

Seeing this, Shen Ceyan's heart tightened.

Ci Ji choked back tears as she spoke, "Actually, I heard everything you just said."

"what?"

"The things you said to Shi Xubai at Zhizhi's house. While you were chatting, Shi Xubai was already on the phone with Zhizhi..."

"..."

Shi Xubai, just you wait.

Just then, the nanny's voice came from the doorway: "Sir, the hangover soup is ready."

Shen Ceyan helped the petite woman in front of him to sit down in his office chair.

He then went over to open the door and brought in the hangover soup.

Ji Nianci just sat there staring blankly at him.

The man walked to her side, bent down, and half-squatted on the ground to look her in the eye.

He stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it gently, and brought it to her lips.

"Come on, drink it."

In memory of Ci Guaiguai drinking it.

One spoonful after another, the bowl of herbal soup was soon emptied.

After finishing a bowl of soup, her expression regained some clarity.

Shen Ceyan smiled with satisfaction, took out a tissue, and gently wiped the soup stains from the corners of her mouth.

Ji Nianci's eyes were still red, and feeling his gentle touch, she almost couldn't hold back her tears again.

She tugged at Shen Ceyan's sleeve and murmured, "Actually, I wanted to tell you..."

Shen Ceyan paused, feeling a little scared, afraid that she would say things he didn't want to hear, such as divorce and moving.

“I didn’t turn my attention to you because I stumbled on that scumbag Zhou An. My feelings for you aren’t out of guilt, but out of genuine love.”

Shen Ceyan felt as if his breathing had stopped.

"Shen Ceyan, I am an adult, and I know very well what kind of feelings I have for you."

Now, I can tell you with absolute certainty that my feelings for you are the purest and most passionate love a woman can have for a man.

The man suddenly stopped, unable to speak for a long time.

The overhead lights shone down, casting interplay of light and shadow. He lowered his eyes, staring intently at her, his gaze churning with emotions, as if something suppressed deep within him was about to burst forth.

"Can you say that again."

Ci blinked her eyes pitifully and said in a sweet voice, "Husband, I was wrong. I will definitely treat you better in the future."

This was your own choice.

I didn't force you.

The man's eyes darkened slightly. He lifted her from the chair and placed her on the desk, his voice hoarse: "Be good, with me, you'll never need to apologize."

Ji Nianci subconsciously wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

He leaned forward, his breath hotly spraying onto her face. Her nostrils were filled with his faint scent. His eyes seemed to devour her, making her unable to resist. Before she could react, his burning kisses descended upon her, his lips and tongue tracing paths in her mouth, making her tremble all over, as if struck by lightning.

The desire to possess her burst forth from his body at that moment.

"Go to the room..."

Ji Nianci's body had completely gone limp at this moment, and she uttered a few words through sobs.

"Okay." The man's voice was incredibly gentle and tender at that moment, as if he would agree to whatever she said.

After saying that, he picked up the woman in front of him and carried her out of the study.

Ci shyly buried her face in his chest.

After walking a few steps into the room, Shen Ceyan seemed to have reached his limit and rather roughly threw her onto the soft bed.

His eyes were both vulnerable and passionate, and a barrage of kisses followed, sweet scents lingering on his tongue. He swallowed all his breath, his body's instinct making him forget to think, holding him tightly and responding to his movements.

Sweat dripped down his handsome face. She wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling weak and dizzy.

……

The next morning.

The alarm clock rang again, then was turned off.

Ji Nianci struggled to open her eyes and remained stunned for a long while.

She instinctively reached for her phone to check the time, but as soon as she moved slightly, she felt sore all over, as if she had been run over by a truck.

"Hiss..." she cried out involuntarily.

"Are you feeling unwell?" The man sensed her movement, then put his arm around her waist and asked gently.

He didn't let her go until midnight last night.

At that time, Ji Nianci was so exhausted that she could not even shout, and could only hum softly on his shoulder.

Shen Ceyan's heart had already melted. He gently picked him up and took him to the bathroom to clean him up.

He first tested the water temperature, then filled the bathtub with water and gave her a bath.

Perhaps because it was too comfortable and she was too tired, she fell into a deep sleep while taking a bath.

He felt a pang of sympathy for her, and after gently and meticulously cleaning her body, he carried her back to her room to sleep.

Then he went back and took a shower.

"Shen Ceyan..." Her voice was hoarse, but her anger was still evident: "If I let you come near me again, I'm a dog..."

"Sweetie, drink some water, your voice is hoarse." Shen Ceyan pretended not to hear, picked up the glass of warm water from the bedside table, and gently fed it to her.

"..." Ji Nianci wanted to continue scolding him, but her throat was too dry, so she had no choice but to drink the cup of water he fed her without any spirit.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" He raised his hand and gently tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.

"What do you think!" Ji Nianci was so angry she wanted to bite him.

Her feigned fierceness made her seem somewhat naive, and Shen Ceyan's lips curled up slightly. He couldn't help but place a kiss on her lips.

"Woo..."

As he kissed her until she was dizzy and disoriented, a sentence came to mind:

When you are weak enough, your anger will seem like a joke to others.
