Another three years later.

Another month after the end of the Spring Examination, the Palace Examination was held as scheduled, and Shen Jingwen was naturally among the candidates.

A few days later, the palace examination results were announced as scheduled. As expected, Shen Jingwen took the top spot, just like the original plot. He was appointed to the Hanlin Academy with the rank of sixth grade.

Inner courtyard of Shen Mansion.

[Fishpond owner*Chen Jingwen's main quest has been completed, and he received the following rewards:

Points: +950

Gained Skills: The host can freely choose whether to leave this plane. 】

Ning Wan was still a little dazed when she heard the task prompt again. She poked her head out from under the quilt, sat up in annoyance, and rubbed her slender waist to relieve some of the pain.

Just as she rubbed it, Ning Wan's expression changed.

She lowered her eyes and clearly saw the fingerprints left on the skin around her waist, and even some tiny kiss marks on her lower abdomen.

Thinking of yesterday's madness, Ning Wan had only one thought in her mind: she wanted to run away from home!

But as soon as her feet touched the ground and before she could take a step, her legs inevitably went limp, and then her calves became like noodles, causing her to sit down on the ground.

His fingers subconsciously grasped the edge of the bed, and he exerted a little force, trying to get up by his own strength.

Shen Jingwen, who had just returned from court, saw this scene as he opened the door. Looking at Ning Wan, who looked a little embarrassed, inevitable worry flashed in his eyes, and he walked over very quickly.

He bent down without hesitation, and his palm fell on her skin without hesitation.

Before she could use any force, Ning Wan's body shrank in an instant, and her hand subconsciously fell on Shen Jingwen's chest, trying to push him away.

Use force and push hard.

Well, no push.

Shen Jingwen looked at Ning Wan in front of him.

At this moment, she was like an enraged kitten, stretching out her claws and trying to defend herself.

After a brief silence.

Ning Wan looked at Chen Jingwen, who was motionless in front of her, and slightly shifted her eyes to explore the surroundings, wondering if there was a crack in the ground that she could crawl into.

Shen Jingwen sighed, then effortlessly carried Ning Wan back to the bed and gave her a massage very naturally.

His fingers flexibly and powerfully kneaded the thin flesh on her waist, and then pulled the quilt aside to cover her: "If you are tired, lie down for a while, no one will disturb you."

Shen Jingwen obviously had other things to do, so he stayed for only an incense stick before getting up and leaving the room. Ning Wan, lying on the bed, did as Shen Jingwen had instructed, closing her eyes and calmly taking a nap.

[Host, are you leaving? ]

Although Xiao Qi knew the answer, he still came out to ask his host.

However, Ning Wan did not firmly refuse as Xiao Qi had expected. She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Wait a little longer and see how he behaves..."

Ning Wan, who was communicating with Xiao Qi with her eyes closed, did not notice that Shen Jingwen, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped, and the hand that was about to close the door unconsciously left a gap.

Was that an illusion just now?

Shen Jingwen only heard an extremely unfamiliar voice ringing in his ears. In a vague way, he roughly understood what the thing meant. It wanted to instigate his wife to leave him.

Where did this ghost thing come from and why is it asking Wanwan like this?

Shen Jingwen was lost in thought, waiting anxiously for Ning Wan's verdict.

But the people in the room hesitated.

Wait a little longer? Does that mean she has this idea?

Shen Jingwen wanted to continue listening, but he could not hear anything. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly had a rather crazy idea in his mind.

If he locked her up, would she be unable to escape?

At this moment, Ning Wan didn't know that Shen Jingwen had heard what she and Xiao Qi said. After a pause, he continued confidently, "But running away from home is certain."

Ning Wan felt that she had been a soft persimmon for long enough, and her waist was about to break. She only wanted to go back to her parents' home to hide for a few days, and she had no idea that Shen Jingwen was building a small dark room just for her.

…

Three days later, Shen Jingwen in the study opened the mechanism and entered the secret room he had taken Ning Wan to before. Looking at the gold quilt on the bed and a pair of forged gold chains, he still hesitated.

This place was originally where he wanted to add some fun with Ning Wan, but ever since Wan Wan left here last time, no matter how he coaxed her, she refused to go in. She even started pulling his sleeve and crying as soon as she entered the study.

As if he would take her life.

This kind of thing naturally requires cooperation from both parties. Seeing her resistance, he didn't want to make things difficult for her, so he just patiently coaxed her: In the study...

He stood in front of the bed for a long time, and the words in the room that day came to his mind again.

Although he had thought about imprisoning Ning Wan, he also wondered if there might be some misunderstanding.

Maybe his Wanwan has no intention of leaving him?

The secret room was not small, but it did not have the messy torture instruments as rumored, nor was it stained with blood. Instead, it was extremely clean. However, if there was no light, it would be extremely dark.

Will she be scared?

Shen Jingwen shook his head and took out the slender gold chain separately.

She liked this kind of golden object the most, and he originally planned to use it to coax her, but she didn't even want to come in, so the little surprise he prepared was ruined.

He replaced all the bedding on the bed with new ones, and then walked out with peace of mind.

I hope he was just hallucinating that day.

Shen Jingwen was looking forward to it, but just when he was thinking of giving the gift to Ning Wan as a birthday gift, his Wanwan gave him a big surprise.
