Shen Ruyin was shocked.

"You...you're not angry?!"

Feng Heng shook his head indifferently.

They're insulting you!

"The criticism was not wrong."

"..."

Feng Heng walked to the table, sat down, and drank tea. He also poured a cup for Shen Ruyin and said, "Even if they said something wrong, do you expect me to correct them?"

"Don't you care about your reputation at all?"

He had just taken a sip of tea and hadn't even swallowed it yet when he puffed out his cheeks, blinked twice at Shen Ruyin, as if to say: Reputation? What's that? Is it tasty?

After finally getting him to swallow the tea, Shen Ruyin was met with the question: "Why would I come to see you if I cared about my reputation?"

He left her speechless.

Completely overwhelmed by Feng Heng's "wild punches can defeat a master" attitude, Shen Ruyin even forgot her pretense and said stiffly, "So you're just going to abandon me? I've given you my body..."

"Then I've given you mine too."

"How can that be the same?!" Shen Ruyin exclaimed, her face flushed with anxiety. "I'm a virgin, while you've been with countless women, and I haven't even thought you were dirty!"

"If you don't mind the dirt, who can you blame?" It's not like he forced her to sleep with him.

"you……"

Shen Ruyin was so angry that she trembled all over.

If she had known he was such a heartless and ruthless person, she would never have had anything to do with him, even if a knife were held to her throat.

So she sent Shen Xiyin to marry him, and then she would be the one who was furious.

She suppressed the urge to punch Feng Heng and demanded, "Just give me a straight answer: when are you going to welcome me into your family?"

"What door are we going through?"

"Of course it's your Feng family's door." Why is he pretending to be stupid!

"Stop joking!" Feng Heng said, as if she were joking. "If I dared to let you into the family, my mother would sweep me out the door with a broom!"

He paused, then added infuriatingly, "And all the young ladies in my household will have to be kicked out by her as well."

“Those are all poor, homeless women who are only here to beg for food. If you cause them to suffer and wander outside because of you, wouldn’t that be a sin? I advise you to do something good for yourself.”

"Do you really think I'm less important than those other women?"

“You may have a better background than them, but when it comes to character, you can’t catch up with them even if you ride a donkey.”

The young ladies in his household were either selling themselves to bury their fathers for a few taels of silver, or trying to feed their younger siblings so they wouldn't starve, or were prostitutes from brothels trying to get justice for their unjustly killed sisters and trying to get in touch with the Vice Minister's mansion... At the very least, they just wanted to rely on a powerful figure, live a life of luxury and comfort.

But no one was like her, not only seducing her elder sister's fiancé, but also smearing Shen Qiyin's reputation in front of him.

If Shen Ruyin could barely tolerate Feng Heng's previous blunt truths, then that last sentence truly touched a nerve.

He actually said she wasn't even as good as those lowly women!

"Talking about me? Then what kind of good thing are you!" Enraged, Shen Ruyin completely ignored Aunt Zheng's instructions and only cared about venting her anger first.

She pointed at Feng Heng's nose and cursed, "I did seduce you, but so what? If you were a good person, you could have pushed me away, but you still fell for it, didn't you?"

This means they've completely broken off relations.

Feng Heng remained calm, even self-aware, saying, "I can't change my nature. If a woman walks past me, I want to take a second look. Let alone you, even if it's a female monkey, I'd want to follow her to see if her breasts are big or small."

"You...you, you are utterly shameless!"

Shen Ruyin left in anger.

But as soon as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, her whole body stiffening on the spot, her face turning deathly pale.

A melodious and sweet voice came from outside the door, but to Shen Ruyin's ears it sounded like the low murmur of a demon.

"Honeysuckle, I heard that the osmanthus cake at Dongyue Tower is the best, unlike any other place. Let's order two more portions to take back to Grandmother, so she'll be happy when she eats it, and we can also ask her to release Mother to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

It's Shen Xiyin's voice!

Shen Ruyin covered her mouth in shock, feeling a wave of fear wash over her.

Thank goodness...

Luckily, I found her. Otherwise, if she had seen me sneaking out to meet Feng Heng, she would have told my grandmother with her vicious mind, and I would have been doomed.

Seeing that she had been fuming and about to leave, but then stopped at the door, Feng Heng couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing? Why are you stopping?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ruyin turned her head and gestured for him to be quiet, her eyes filled with panic, as if the person standing outside the door was a vengeful ghost coming to claim her life.

At this moment, Shen Qiyin's voice rang out again: "Ren Dong, why don't we go downstairs and sit down? It's so stuffy in the private room, and there's not much fun. It's not as lively downstairs with storytelling and singing."

Honeysuckle replied, "Okay."

Then came the sound of footsteps, indicating that they had left.

Shen Ruyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they can't go out for the time being.

She couldn't leave, so she wouldn't let Feng Heng leave either.

She was afraid that Feng Heng might run into Shen Qiyin downstairs. Given his tendency to be unable to resist women, she feared that he would say whatever Shen Qiyin asked, and she would not get the better of him.

Seeing that she clung to his arm every time he tried to leave, Feng Heng frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gave in and said, "Fine."

After saying that, he started taking off his clothes!

While undressing him, he said, "You'd better keep your voice down this time, don't attract a huge crowd like you did at Jing'an Temple that day..."

"They won't even close the door for me; my butt is freezing cold."

He was quick; in the blink of an eye, he had stripped himself completely naked.

However, Chen Ruyin was still wearing her clothes completely.

He then "thoughtfully" asked her, "Would you like to take it off yourself, or should I help you?"

"What are you taking off?! Is there nothing else on your mind besides what you do in bed?" Shen Ruyin was almost driven to the brink of collapse by him: "Who said I was going to do that kind of thing with you? Hurry up and put your clothes back on!"

"...Then why did you stubbornly stop me from leaving?" He assumed she wanted it.

Although he was lustful, he never resorted to trickery or force.

This is supposed to be a joyful thing in life, and it's only when both parties are willing that things go smoothly. Otherwise, if someone forces themselves on you, she'll scream like a pig being slaughtered, and what's the fun in that?

If she refuses, then forget it.

Feng Heng patiently picked up his clothes and put them back on, but just as he was halfway through putting on his underpants, the door behind him was suddenly flung open from the outside, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, blowing right onto his snow-white buttocks.
