"They're all gone, why are you still looking! Cen Xi, do you have any conscience? I let you meet early this morning, and I even went to the kitchen myself to have breakfast prepared. Is this how you repay me?"
Seeing Cen Xichen staring blankly at Jun Jianchou's retreating figure, the person who had originally planned to be generous instantly became jealous.
"He's badly injured. Go and check on him later. That's how close we are. If you get jealous, you'll never stop being jealous. I'm a selfish person who only cares about my own feelings, so even if you're extremely jealous, I won't stop seeing him."
Cen Xi decided to stop chasing Jun Jianchou out of his sight. She couldn't get rid of him anyway; her conduct was upright and honest. If Shen Jinchen didn't even have that much magnanimity, then the world had overestimated him. Ultimately, they would become strangers.
"You...you heartless woman!"
Shen Jinchen was speechless. He knew that Cen Xi would definitely be moved by Jun Jianchou's desperate rescue of her, which was why he abandoned the great battle in the capital and came here.
“If I were to remain indifferent to Jun Jianchou, I would truly be heartless. I owe Shen Jinchen a lot, and I have no intention of repaying it with my own life. If you can’t even tolerate this, let’s break up. Anyway, the child is gone, and I have nothing left to hold me back.”
After this incident, Cen Xi believed that the three of them had come to terms with the facts, and it would be unreasonable for Shen Jinchen to continue to hold a grudge.
He seemed quite generous just now, but now...
Hmph!
"Alright, alright. After this, he will come to the capital with us. There are plenty of well-bred ladies in the capital. You treat him like an older brother, and his sister is already married, but I, as his brother-in-law, will definitely find him a woman of equal social standing to match him."
Shen Jinchen sighed, rolled his eyes at Cen Xi, and said quietly.
"Okay, if you can find a woman of equal social standing to match him, that would be fine too. It wouldn't be bad for him to marry a woman and take care of her in this life. I support you!"
Seeing Shen Jinchen's change in attitude, Cen Xi softened her tone as well. She and Shen Jinchen had already come this far, how could they easily separate again? The previous sentence was just a joke.
"You woman! Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Eat well and get better. We need to hurry back to the capital. The Eighth Route Army in the capital is just trapped in battle. We don't know what the outcome will be yet."
Shen Jinchen silently lit two candles for Jun Jianchou. He was the luckiest; he hadn't gained much in terms of heart, but at least he had gained a person.
So why talk about Jun Jianchou?
After Jun Jianchou returned to his room, Zhu Yanniang also brought a dish of food into his room.
"Cen Xi, how is she?"
"She was seriously injured, and her blood and qi were stagnant. Forty-nine days after the Ten Thousand Yin Formation was activated, not only would her body be damaged, but her soul would also be unable to reassemble, and she would have no hope of being reincarnated in the next life. Fortunately, we arrived in time, and fortunately, Shen Jinchen arrived in time."
Afterwards, Jun Jianchou felt a lingering fear. If he had arrived ten days or so later, and Shen Jinchen had been unable to leave, he and Cen Xi might have both perished here.
"Heaven hasn't forsaken us. Cen Xi has a strong destiny, and your injuries are quite serious. Take good care of yourself these next few days!"
Zhu Yanniang tried to help him into the house, but Jun Jianchou, with his sharp eyes, dodged her.
"I can manage on my own. Thank you for taking care of me. Men and women should not be too close. Please don't come into my room so often in the future."
Jun Jianchou was an extremely intelligent man. Although he hadn't paid attention to Zhu Yanniang's concern for him these past few days, as he was only thinking about saving Cen Xi, he could still sense it.
It wasn't that he looked down on Zhu Yanniang, but the love in his heart could only be given to one person in this lifetime, even if that person had already married someone else.
Therefore, he has no need to waste other people's time.
"I... I didn't mean anything by it. You saved me last time and took care of me for more than two months. I just wanted to express my gratitude. Please don't overthink it, Young Master Jun."
Zhu Yanniang was surprised that her heart was so easily seen through. After a moment of embarrassment, she decided to deny it. She couldn't let him think that she liked him. She was not worthy of that. She just wanted to take care of him as much as she could and see that he was doing well.
“My injuries are not serious, and I can get up and walk around. I appreciate Madam Zhu’s kindness, but last time it was only because of Cen Xi. Madam Zhu, please don’t take it to heart.”
Jun Jianchou breathed a sigh of relief when the other party said that, but he still felt that he should not get too involved with Zhu Yanniang. If a woman and a man spend too much time together, there will always be some rumors.
He doesn't want that kind of reputation.
"Alright! I'm sorry to have troubled you, Young Master Jun! Jun Xiaoqiao is also injured, I'll go check on her."
Zhu Yanniang was disappointed, but she knew it was only natural, so she said nothing and took her leave.
Next door, Xiao Qiao woke up too. Luckily, she didn't have a fever last night, so her baby was saved.
Wen Qiheng saw that as soon as she woke up, he took out several documents and placed them in front of her.
"What are all these things?"
Jun Xiaoqiao looked at the few large, bright characters on the paper and laughed in anger. Was this man sick in the head?
Was she blind to have chosen this person?
"A letter of gratitude? What's wrong? Can't you read?"
Wen Qiheng stared intently at Jun Xiaoqiao with a wicked smile.
"A letter of gratitude? What letter of gratitude? What debt do I, Jun Xiaoqiao, need to repay?"
Looking at the other person's shameless smile, Jun Xiaoqiao smiled back meaningfully.
"Since I saved you this time, you must repay the Wen family. My parents said I should have three children. After you finish this pregnancy, you have to keep having more. Once you've completed the sow task, I can let you go."
With a smug smile, Wen Qiheng spoke slowly and deliberately to Jun Xiaoqiao.
"Damn it, who told you to save her? Who are you calling a sow?"
Jun Xiaoqiao was almost driven mad with anger. What kind of man is this? Did she really have to be so impulsive back then? Is there any way to undo this? Oh my goodness.
"The ancients said that a woman who gives birth to many children is like a sow. If I ask you to have three children, wouldn't that make you a sow? It's just a metaphor, madam, please don't mind it."
Seeing how angry she was, Wen Qiheng's smile widened even more, and his words became even more irritating.
"Ah!!! Get lost! Who asked you to save me? Who wants to repay your bullshit favor? Get the hell out of here!"
Jun Xiaoqiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She really wanted to slap this man, but unfortunately, when she threw the blanket out, she lost her balance and rolled off the bed.
Seeing that he was so angry and had even rolled off the bed, Wen Qiheng temporarily abandoned his teasing intentions and ran to the bedside to pick her up.
As a result, Jun Xiaoqiao disregarded everything, grabbed his arm and bit it hard. She wanted to vent her anger; she was furious! She wanted to kill this bastard.
