Chapter 186 The Scheming Young Man 29

Shen Yuchen hugged her from behind, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and said in a muffled voice, "My wife, please don't be angry, okay?"

Thinking of how well-behaved he had been just now, Xu Qiuqiu decided to play hard to get. "I won't be angry, but you have to agree to one condition."

Shen Yuchen grasped her hand and asked eagerly, "What are the conditions?"

To avoid him teasing her all the time, Xu Qiuqiu said, "From now on, you have to listen to me in everything. You have to do whatever I tell you to do."

Shen Yuchen thought for a moment, then gently rubbed her palm with his fingers. "As long as my wife doesn't leave me, I'll listen to whatever you say."

Satisfied with his assurance, Xu Qiuqiu turned to face him and softly reassured him, "I won't leave Achen, so let's go home together tomorrow, okay?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Shen Yuchen's eyes dimmed, and without thinking, he refused, "I don't want to go back."

To her surprise, he refused immediately. Xu Qiuqiu angrily pulled her hand back and said unhappily, "You just said you would listen to me!"

Seeing the distant look in her eyes again, Shen Yuchen's heart tightened, and fear surged up again. "Does Qiuqiu want to go home? Or does she want to see someone else?"

Xu Qiuqiu answered without hesitation, "Of course I want to go home."

Shen Yuchen didn't believe her. He took her hand again, his eyes pleading, "Qiuqiu, please stay here, okay? I can take good care of you..."

"Achen, why are you so determined to stay here? Don't you miss your family and friends?" Xu Qiuqiu looked at him, puzzled.

"I don't want to. Having you is enough for me." Shen Yuchen nestled close to her, relying on her for support. Only by holding her could he gain a sense of security.

Hearing his words, Xu Qiuqiu paused for a moment, then patted his back reassuringly and told him her thoughts, "But I don't want to stay here any longer, shall we go out?"

When Shen Yuchen heard these words, it meant that she didn't want to stay with him and wanted to leave. Even though she was in his arms, he still felt that she was very far away. His heart ached as if it were being twisted, and anger and fear tormented him.

His eyes quickly turned cold, he hugged her tighter, and his tone became fierce: "Qiuqiu, you can't leave, you have to stay here with me."

Even though his body temperature was so high, his words were inexplicably eerie and oppressive. Xu Qiuqiu was held very tightly by him, so tightly that she suspected he wanted to melt her into his body.

She really didn't understand. She had already expressed her feelings to him and coaxed him, so why was he still unwilling to go home with her?

Perhaps because they had done it too many times during the day, she gradually became sleepy, and even though she was pressed tightly against him, she couldn't control her drowsiness and fell asleep.

The next morning, Xu Qiuqiu gradually woke up. She glanced around with blurry eyes and found no one by the bed. She yawned, lifted the covers to get up, and as soon as she moved, the sound of silver chains rang out again.

She looked down and saw that her feet were locked up again, and judging by the length, she couldn't get out of bed.

Xu Qiuqiu felt a wave of despair. Why was she locked up again?

Didn't they make up yesterday? Did her confession have no effect?

Why is he harder to coax in this dimension than in the previous ones?

She thought carefully about what they had been saying recently, and he seemed particularly afraid that she would leave.

She tugged at the chain, and with a sound, the door was immediately pushed open. Shen Yuchen came in with water to help her wash up.

After washing up, Xu Qiuqiu looked up at him. Noticing her gaze, Shen Yuchen hugged her affectionately. "Qiuqiu, what would you like to eat today?"

Seeing that he acted as if nothing had happened, Xu Qiuqiu realized that being forceful wouldn't work, so she decided to try a gentler approach. She leaned against him and said pitifully, "Achen, why did you lock my feet again? My feet hurt so much, I'm afraid they'll get blisters if I move even a little..."

Hearing her words, Shen Yuchen paused, his gaze falling on her ankle. On her fair foot was a silver lock that just encircled her ankle, with little space, but as long as she didn't struggle, her foot wouldn't be hurt.

Thinking of this, he gently comforted her, "Qiuqiu, it won't happen. As long as you stay put, you won't get hurt."

Hearing this, Xu Qiuqiu became furious. She quickly exchanged her tears skill with 003, then stepped out of his arms, looking at him with teary eyes, and began to sob softly, "Achen, don't you care about me anymore? You said you loved me, but you don't even care that my foot hurts..."

Follow his path, and leave him with nowhere to go!

Seeing her tear-filled face, her nose almost red from crying, Shen Yuchen felt a pang of heartache and was at a loss for what to do. "Qiuqiu, I really love you, I just don't know what to do. Please don't cry."

"When you cry, I feel unbearable pain; I feel even worse than you..."

He half-embraced her, gently wiping away her tears with his fingers, only to find that the more he wiped, the more tears she shed, and he felt even more distressed, as a sense of powerlessness and helplessness spread throughout his body.

He lowered his hand, looking at her with a mixture of sadness and despair. "Qiuqiu, tell me, what should I do? I really don't want to hurt you, but I'm so scared... I'm so scared..."

Seeing the fragile look on his face, Xu Qiuqiu forgot her pretense and asked with a mix of heartache and confusion, "Why are you afraid? What are you afraid of?"

"Qiuqiu, I really love you so much. I'm so afraid you'll leave me. Only here do I feel like I have you. Once we're outside, you'll see other people."

I know I've done many wrong things. I feel like I stole everything, and one day I'll pay it all back. I'll lose you completely. Let's not go out, okay? I don't want to be separated from you…”

After saying this, the pain in his heart continued to grow, and all the strength in his body was suddenly drained away.

She was kept in the dark. Marrying her was a scheme by him, and Lin Yexuan was also poisoned by him. If one day she finds out the truth, will she still be so gentle to her?

He's going crazy when she's a little cold towards him now. If he sees the look in her eyes that no longer likes him, he's afraid he won't be able to control himself and will hurt her.

Xu Qiuqiu hugged him tenderly, feeling his body trembling slightly. She gently coaxed him, "Achen, don't be afraid. I won't leave you. Even if we get out, I won't leave you. I promised you, and I haven't forgotten."

"Qiuqiu, but I'm still scared..." Shen Yuchen hugged her tightly, like an insecure child.

Feeling the dampness on his neck, Xu Qiuqiu knew he had been crying, and her heart ached. "Don't be afraid, Achen. If you don't want to go out, I'll stay here with you, okay?"

"I will always be with you, and only with you."

After saying this, she noticed the dampness on her neck had intensified, and she panicked a little. "Achen, what's wrong?"

Shen Yuchen choked up as she said, "Qiuqiu, I just feel so happy..."
