Their eyes met, and Shen Jinchen suddenly pushed open the door and hugged Cen Xi tightly.

After feeling the flutter in the other person's chest, Cen Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed Shen Jinchen away.

"you…"

The moment he was pushed away, a hint of hurt appeared in Shen Jinchen's eyes.

"It's not what you think. Shen Jinchen, since I promised you I would try to get along with you, what I said is true. Just now, you hugged me too tightly, and I was a little... a little uncomfortable."

Cen Xi glanced at Shen Jinchen with embarrassment, then awkwardly explained.

"You're not angry?"

Having finally eased the tension a bit, Shen Jinchen really didn't want things to revert to the way they were before just because he had helped Wen Qiheng tonight.

"Hmm, why are you angry? You're not like yourself at all. I, Cen Xi, am a person who keeps my promises. As long as you don't want to be the emperor and only have me as your woman for the rest of your life, I don't need to throw a tantrum at you. This back and forth is exhausting, okay?"

Seeing Shen Jinchen's humble and cautious demeanor, Cen Xi couldn't help but feel disgusted. However, she also knew that they had come this far and there was no turning back. She shouldn't even think about escaping; he wouldn't let her go.

My past actions have fully demonstrated this point.

Now, all I care about is being comfortable and having a good time.

Fortunately, this person is decent-looking and has money, which can save her many years of hard work, and that's some consolation.

"I've had enough of sleeping in the study. How about we sleep together from now on?"

Seeing that she was only a little impatient, Shen Jinchen couldn't help but want to ask for more. He used to only want to restore his country, never knowing that one day he would be completely controlled by a woman, and he would even enjoy it.

"Hahaha…"

Cen Xi couldn't help but laugh when she saw him like that.

"What are you laughing at?"

Shen Jinchen was captivated by his actions.

"I used to think you were a bit domineering and aloof, but now..."

Cen Xixiao looked at him, unable to continue speaking.

Before she wore it, besides desperately trying to please her boss, reading novels was her only way to relieve stress. At first, she thought this person was a bit like a domineering CEO in a novel, but now she sees her as a sycophant.

Is it because you care too much?

"How are things now?"

Shen Jinchen hugged Cen Xi from behind, rested his head on Cen Xi's shoulder, and asked seductively.

"A little cautious, and a little humble."

Cen Xi turned to look at him and spoke the truth.

"Oh!"

Shen Jinchen chuckled, turned around, picked up Cen Xi, and carried her to the bedside.

"What are you doing? Are you driven by lust again? I'm pregnant, do you know that?"

Cen Xi was taken aback by the other party's actions and immediately cried out in alarm.

"I just want you to feel my love. Cen Xi is doing this because you are very important to me, and I am happy to do it."

After placing Cen Xi on the bed, Shen Jinchen looked at her earnestly and affectionately, expressing his thoughts.

"you…"

Cen Xi stared at Shen Jinchen. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved; after all, she was human, and humans have emotions and desires.

"Go to sleep. There might be a good show to watch in a few days. Wen Qiheng is a very vindictive person. Your friend is in trouble."

Shen Jinchen pinched Cen Xi's cheek, then casually took off his clothes and lay quietly next to Cen Xi.

It was as if they were enjoying this long-lost peace.

"Serves her right! Jun Xiaoqiao brought this on herself. Now someone will finally be able to teach her a lesson. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Wen residence and set off firecrackers for her, wishing them a happy wedding night."

Cen Xi gritted her teeth, remembering how Jun Xiaoqiao used to intentionally or unintentionally put her in a difficult position and make her take the blame.

Now that he's finally the villain, only villains can put him through this.

And she even picked this person herself, really...

She should have said they were a perfect match.

"Hahaha... Good!"

Shen Jinchen laughed heartily, then put his arm around Cen Xi's waist, feeling the warmth of their bodies together.

Cen Xi didn't say anything and just let him hold her like that, and soon she fell asleep.

The next day, Fengqin brought Xiaoyu to Cenxi and Shen Jinchen's main courtyard early in the morning.

"Mother!"

As soon as Xiaoyu saw Cenxi, she rushed into her arms and burst into tears.

"Missing your mother?"

Cen Xi comforted her for a while until the girl stopped crying, then picked her up and asked her questions.

"Well, Little Fish thought you ran away with Uncle Ye and didn't want us anymore. Luckily you sent someone to pick me up."

Xiao Yu looked at Cen Xi's aggrieved accusation with a blank expression.

Who said that?

Cen Xi instinctively felt that this was definitely not something a four-year-old girl could say.

“Uncle Jun! He said that my brother and I are the ones you abandoned, and that you are trapped by a big bad guy. But he is inferior to that big bad guy in everything, so he can't help us.”

Xiao Yu looked at Cen Xi with an innocent expression, chattering away, completely unaware of Shen Jinchen's dark face that followed.

"Jun Jianchou has really gone too far."

Cen Xi glanced awkwardly at Shen Jinchen's expression and then gritted her teeth.

"Mother, you brought me here, does that mean you want me again?"

The little girl looked at Cen Xi with hopeful eyes, her gaze filled with longing.

"Who said I don't want you anymore? Your Uncle Jun is lying. Even if your mother got married, she wouldn't abandon you. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Cen Xi, looking exasperated, rubbed his forehead and finally explained.

"Oh, Mother, I saw you and this uncle coming out of a house. Is he the wild man Uncle Jun was talking about?"

Xiaoyu nodded in realization, then looked at Shen Jinchen with a face full of curiosity.

Uh~

Cen Xi couldn't continue. If she went along with him, wouldn't that be insulting Shen Jinchen in front of him?

The relationship was finally eased!

"Your name is Xiaoyu?"

Shen Jinchen glanced at Cen Xi's constipated face with amusement and appropriately helped her out of the predicament.

"Yes, you're the wild man Uncle Jun mentioned who ran off with my mother, right?"

The little fish asked, completely bewildered, unaware of how hurtful those words could be.

"No, I am your mother's husband and your father. You should call me Daddy from now on. What your Uncle Jun said was just sour grapes. Don't believe him. Call me Daddy and I'll give you good things, lots and lots of good things. How about it?"

Shen Jinchen wiped his forehead speechlessly, then squatted down to coax Xiaoyu.

Jun Jianchou remembered this person.

"Hmph, no way! Mother, is that so? Is he really my father? I remember my father has passed away. How could he be my father? He can't be, Mother. He's just a wild man. You mustn't be fooled. Come on, Xiaoyu will take you to find Uncle Jun."

Little Fish glanced at the smiling, kind-looking uncle in front of her and immediately felt that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, wanting to drink her blood and eat her flesh. So she snorted, took her little steps and ran to Cen Xi, grabbing Cen Xi's hand and trying to run away.
