Chapter 43: Burning Night

Fu Xingchen raised the corners of his lips indifferently.

"Lu Chuchen, you have to understand who started the fight first. My wife and I are no different. Anyone who is rude to her or dares to gossip about her will be made to pay the price, and you are no exception."

Lu Chuchen narrowed his deer-like clear eyes and clenched his hands into fists at his sides.

The more Fu Xingchen values ​​Shao Leyan, the more he wants him to not get what he wants.

"Really? You're willing to give up..." for a woman.

Before Lu Chuchen finished speaking, Mu Jiaojiao, who had been hiding in Mu Jinsheng's arms crying, suddenly rushed in front of Lu Chuchen and confronted Fu Xingchen.

"Brother Xingchen! You love her so much! You're even willing to go against Central City for her?"

Fu Xingchen suppressed his anger, but his tone did not soften at all.

"I have no intention of opposing Central City. You are the ones who have gone too far and offended someone you can't afford to offend."

Mu Jiaojiao blinked her red and swollen eyes. Lack of sleep for several days made her young face look a little haggard, and dark circles appeared under her eyes.

In such a comparison, the same beauty shedding tears makes Shao Leyan, who is equally beautiful, look like Xi Shi holding her heart.

Anyone who looks at her will feel pity for her.

The same goes for Mu Jiaojiao.

She sneered and muttered, "I haven't had time to congratulate you on your wedding yet."

"Jiaojiao, that's enough!"

Mu Jinsheng couldn't bear it any longer and rushed over to grab Mu Jiaojiao's arm and threw her directly to Lu Chuchen.

"This is clearly a welcome banquet for City Lord Fu and his wife. Although I don't feel like continuing now, we should both take a step back. City Lord Fu, please take your wife back to rest."

Fu Xingchen seemed to be waiting for Mu Jinsheng to say this, and took Shao Leyan's hand, "Yanyan, let's go!"

"Want to leave?"

Lu Chuchen tried to stop them with a cold face, but was scolded by Mu Jinsheng, "Enough! Chuchen! Let them go!"

Fu Xingchen curled his lips in a cold smile, hugged Shao Leyan, and strode out of the hall with his head held high.

After Fu Xingchen and his group left.

Mu Sheng's face turned purple, and despite everyone's indignant expressions, he quickly walked up to Mu Jinsheng.

Snap! Snap!

Without saying a word, he slapped Mu Jinsheng twice without mercy.

"elder brother!"

Mu Jiaojiao was horrified and hurriedly stood between the two people.

"Dad! Why did you hit my brother?"

"Why do you say that? Is this the good son I gave birth to? Fu Xingchen even dared to kill people from our Central City in public, and yet he didn't lose even a hair, and you let him get away so easily!"

"Brother, he must have..."

"Jiaojiao, don't worry about this."

Lu Chuchen glanced at Mu Sheng, raised his chin in disdain, and reminded him condescendingly.

"City Lord, Fu Xingchen is in our Central City. If you want to get back at him, you'll have countless opportunities in the next few days. Jin Sheng only tolerated him this time to avoid a direct confrontation. He doesn't have to endure this forever. Why did you hit him?"

Central corridor.

Fu Xingyan walked slowly behind Fu Xingchen and Shao Leyan, thinking about Shao Leyan's unusual behavior just now, his eyes were full of confusion as he looked at Shao Leyan's back.

"Xingyan, go back and rest first. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Fu Xingyan was stunned, opened his mouth, and finally responded, then turned and left.

When the footsteps could no longer be heard, Fu Xingchen looked down at Shao Leyan, who had been silent all the way, and without saying a word, he picked him up.

Before Shao Leyan could react, Fu Xingchen had already firmly held him, and his arms subconsciously wrapped around his neck.

"Why are you hugging me suddenly?"

Fu Xingchen smiled dotingly, "You've been wronged so much today, your tears have flowed like a river, what's wrong with me hugging you?"

Shao Leyan burst into laughter and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then it's up to you!"

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Shao Leyan was gently placed on the bed. After covering herself with the quilt, she blinked her big eyes and waited for Fu Xingchen to ask her.

But Fu Xingchen said nothing. After settling her down, he turned around and left.

"Xingchen!"

Fu Xingchen turned around when he heard the voice and said, "Yanyan, is there anything you need?"

Shao Leyan's hands on her chest clutched her clothes tightly because of nervousness. She asked cautiously: "Don't you blame me?"

Fu Xingchen tilted his head in confusion, sat down on the edge of the bed, and looked at Shao Leyan.

"Why should I blame you?"

"It's all because of me that you're in conflict with them. If I could just be patient..."

“Yanyan!”

Since they were together, Shao Leyan had never heard Fu Xingchen speak harshly to her. This was the first time.

But she wasn't afraid at all.

Fu Xingchen pried open her entangled hands, and his warm and soft big palms firmly wrapped her small hands.

"Although I don't know why you are so repulsive to Mu Sheng, it's his fault that his dirty hands touched you. You don't need to tolerate him, nor do you need to tolerate anyone in Central City."

"But we still have to stay in the central city for a few days. You killed their psychic. As the city lord, Mu Sheng will definitely not let you go."

"So what? Even if Mu Sheng and Mu Jinsheng really want revenge, they are no match for me. Lu Chuchen might be able to compete with me, but with Mu Jinsheng here, he won't act rashly."

"Why does Lu Chuchen listen to Mu Jinsheng so much? Mu Sheng is obviously the city lord, isn't he?"

Fu Xingchen was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly.

"Because Mu Jiaojiao listens to Mu Jinsheng the most, and Lu Chuchen listens to Mu Jiaojiao, and he and Mu Jinsheng are good brothers, so compared to the city lord, Lu Chuchen naturally values ​​Mu Jinsheng more."

Shao Leyan sat up and became more curious about the complicated relationships between the male protagonists.

"I think Mu Jinsheng is more reasonable than Mu Sheng. If it weren't for him, the atmosphere in the hall would have been really tense. I thought you were going to fight with Lu Chuchen."

Fu Xingchen caressed Shao Leyan's face lovingly, "No, Mu Jiaojiao was there at the time, Lu Chuchen wouldn't do it, but..."

"But what?"

Fu Xingchen lowered his eyes, his expression becoming more solemn.

"He didn't do it this time, but I can't say for sure what will happen next time. I'll let Xingyan accompany you during this time, so don't walk around alone."

Shao Leyan nodded in understanding.

The next day.

Shao Leyan looked at Fu Xingyan who was dining elegantly beside him, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his tone became more aggressive as if he had taken gunpowder.

"Has Xingchen eaten yet?"

Fu Xingyan kept cutting the steaks. He glanced up and saw Shao Leyan's puffed-up face. His heart was filled with joy, but he didn't show it on his face.

"He went to eat with Mu Sheng and the others."

"Oh, just eat it."

"Don't you have anything else to say?"

Shao Leyan was stunned, his eyes darting around in panic, not daring to look Fu Xingyan in the eye.

"Wha...what are you talking about? What else can we talk about besides experiments?"
