Shen Jing remained silent, watching the gruesome scene. She was looking at Liang Chengfei and Jiang Lanzhu, while Fu Linyuan was looking at her with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. Could she really bring herself to do this? And how deep was her hatred for Liang Chengfei and Jiang Lanzhu that it could transform a timid person like her into what she had become? Did they do something to her that he was unaware of?
"That's enough," Shen Jing finally spoke. If the wolf continued to bite, Liang Chengfei and Jiang Lanzhu would truly die. She didn't want them to die so easily. The pain they inflicted on her would be repaid a hundredfold.
"Xiao Ye," Fu Linyuan called out. The wolf, previously driven by bloodlust, gradually calmed down and obediently walked to Fu Linyuan's side.
"Fu Nan, strip off their clothes and throw them out, and give them some medicine while you're at it," Shen Jing sneered. They liked drugging people, didn't they? They enjoyed seeing people in bed. She would satisfy their desires.
"Ah?" Fu Nan doubted his ears. Stripping off their clothes and giving them medicine too? Why did Miss Shen suddenly become so ruthless?
Seeing Fu Nan hesitate, Fu Linyuan spoke lightly, "Is there something wrong with your ears?"
"No, no," Fu Nan quickly shook his head and had someone drag Liang Chengfei and Jiang Lanzhu out, while leading Xiao Ye away. Only Fu Linyuan and Shen Jing were left in the dungeon. Shen Jing's tense body relaxed in an instant, but when she noticed Fu Linyuan's probing gaze, she became nervous again. Her changes were too drastic, and Fu Linyuan would definitely be suspicious.
"Fu Linyuan..." Shen Jing's tone softened, and she extended her hand towards him, a pitiful and helpless look on her face. "My legs are weak. Can you carry me?"
Fu Linyuan raised an eyebrow and slowly walked towards Shen Jing. He was very tall, towering over her. He looked down at her from above. "Playing innocent, huh?" He naturally could tell whether Shen Jing's words were true or false, but Shen Jing blinked her eyes pitifully. "It's true, my legs are weak. You were too rough earlier... it hurts."
Fu Linyuan's expression froze for a moment as he recalled the affair just now. It was true that he hadn't controlled his strength well due to anger.
"Shen Jing, what do you really want?" Fu Linyuan couldn't figure out Shen Jing's intentions. Her transformation was too drastic, and he couldn't shake the feeling that she was planning something big, especially after their forced intimate encounter.
Shen Jing sighed, unsure of how to explain to Fu Linyuan. She grabbed his arm and leaned towards him proactively. "Fu Linyuan, it feels like I had a dream. In that dream, I couldn't judge people clearly, and it ended tragically. But you... you were the last person who cared about me. Fu Linyuan, we're married now. I'll be a good wife to you from now on, okay?"
Fu Linyuan didn't say anything. He continued to gaze at Shen Jing, but his eyes were no longer as icy as before.
"You have a knack for deceiving people," Fu Linyuan rubbed Shen Jing's lips. He didn't believe her sweet words, but he still carried her as she requested. Shen Jing wrapped her arms around his neck, finding immense comfort in the broadness of his chest. She was tired... Having just been reborn, experiencing dramatic emotional ups and downs, and the recent physical intimacy with Fu Linyuan, she was extremely exhausted.
Fu Linyuan carried Shen Jing back to the room and noticed that she had fallen asleep. His movements became gentle as he laid her down on the bed. Her breathing became more steady when she slept.
Standing by the bedside, Fu Linyuan pondered for a moment before bending down to lift Shen Jing's skirt. The cool sensation awakened Shen Jing's consciousness to some extent. "Fu Linyuan..."
"I won't touch you. I'm just looking. Sleep." Fu Linyuan said, thinking that Shen Jing might resist. But to his surprise, she simply let go and peacefully fell asleep.
Fu Linyuan didn't know whether to be angry or amused. Why did she suddenly trust him so much? It was his first time being intimate with a woman, and lacking experience and fueled by anger, his actions had been somewhat rough. When she said it hurt, he worried that he had actually injured her. He carefully examined her, parting her legs to inspect. He only felt relieved when he found only some redness and swelling.
After the examination, Fu Linyuan took off his watch and got into bed, embracing Shen Jing. He let out a satisfied sigh. "Jingjing, if you're deceiving me, then deceive me for a bit longer." He stared at Shen Jing's sweet sleeping face for a long time before slowly closing his eyes. He slept soundly that night, with the soft and obedient body of a girl nestled in his arms, as if the years of loneliness had been filled up in an instant.
