Chapter 379

Yunxi blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering, glistening with tears, making her look quite pitiful: "What do you mean?"

“Jingyuan hasn’t come back yet, and there are still people in the front yard,” Shen Rang gently wiped away her tears. “Don’t worry, they won’t let that person get away with it.”

The more glamorous a place appears on the surface, the deeper the darkness lies within.

There are several secret rooms in the front courtyard of the Marquis's mansion. They were previously used by Shen Jun to deal with the Crown Prince's political enemies. They are equipped with all kinds of torture instruments and there are people in charge of carrying out the torture. Now, Doctor Tian is locked up there, and Jing Yuan is personally watching over him. He will surely suffer all kinds of torture.

Dark energy filled Shen Rang's eyes, and a murderous intent emanated from his entire body.

Yunxi sniffed and sat up straight from his lap: "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have said those things..."

Shen Rang snapped out of his daze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

“That makes me sound anything but kind,” Yunxi said, her cheeks slightly flushed. “It might even make you think I’m a malicious person…”

Seeing her unease, Shen Rang couldn't help but chuckle: "Silly girl."

He pulled the person back into his arms; "If someone bullies you and you still refuse to fight back, that's just unacceptable."

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If Yunxi is too good-natured and too gentle, everyone will take advantage of her.

Shen Rang had initially worried that Yun Xi was such a kind and easily bullied person, but now he was relieved.

"If I really refuse to fight back, what will you do, Zirong?"

Shen Rang chuckled: "What can I do but protect you more?"

His heart already belongs to Yunxi.

If she is gentle, he can be more assertive.

Hearing Shen Rang's words, Yun Xi's heart couldn't help but stir a few ripples.

Her earlier concerns were not unfounded, but Shen Rang's reaction was indeed beyond her expectations.

Shen Rang... perhaps likes her more than she imagined?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to protect her so firmly no matter what she was like, right?

Yunxi buried her head in Shen Rang's arms. Shen Rang was startled by her sudden action and instinctively caught her in his arms before belatedly realizing that she was just being affectionate.

"Zirong, Zirong..."

Shen Rang felt a warmth in his heart.

"Stop fooling around, be careful not to fall."

"With you here, will I fall?"

Chen Rang had no choice but to let her make a scene.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and as they played around, Yunxi noticed something was amiss.

Something seems to have awakened.

Seeing that she finally stopped moving, Shen Rang helplessly pressed his temples.

Since he learned that Yunxi was pregnant, so much time has passed, and he has been celibate for a long time. The person in his arms is the apple of his eye. If he could still hold back now, he wouldn't be a man.

Yunxi looked up at him, blinking innocently, "I didn't mean to..."

"It's not your fault," Shen Rang said helplessly. "Now you can finally rest in peace, right?"

"And what about you?"

"...Take a bath."

Moreover, it involves taking a cold shower.

Hearing the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom, Yunxi on the bed blushed unconsciously.
