Looking up at the man, the man’s handsome face still had that forbearing but heartbreaking expression.

“Don’t worry about me. My conflict with the Yuan family has never been with you. As long as I’m not with Yuan Sichun, our conflict will always exist. I’ve never thought about what the Yuan family will bring me. I don’t need it.”

Shen Fanxing understood.

He was referring to her stopping him from touching Yuan Sichun.

“But… once the Yuan family investigates… what if we anger them…”

Compared to suddenly having an enemy, it was better to maintain the current situation and let the Yuan family maintain a neutral attitude.

“Don’t think too much.”

He interrupted her and said, “The Yuan family refuses to forgive me, and I have no intention of letting them off.”

Shen Fanxing fell silent for a while before nodding lightly. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

He was right. She didn’t want him to work too hard, so her hands were tied.

Thinking about it carefully, the Yuan family was a big family, but it shouldn’t be her concern.

Other than wasting some time and energy, Bo Jinchuan had no reason to be crushed by the Yuan family.

Moreover, she wouldn’t let Yuan Sichun off so easily…

Looking up at Bo Jinchuan, Shen Fanxing hated herself.

She had clearly told him several times that she relied on him, but every time, she would abandon him because of her habit of taking care of herself.

She even reminded him to remain rational for her sake.

However, she had never expected that this so-called rationality was the most painful and embarrassing moment for him.

“I’m sorry, Ah Chuan…”

She held his face, her eyes filled with guilt and heartache for this man.

“I won’t do it again… If I suffer in the future, you must avenge me.”

“Yeah.”

Shen Fanxing’s lips twitched but she didn’t smile.

His appearance today had really frightened her. She didn’t expect his forbearance to be so… shocking.

His expression was still gloomy and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

She couldn’t help but want the man to feel better. She wanted to melt the expression on his face.

“Can you scold me? It’s good to lose your temper with me…”

Bo Jinchuan smiled bitterly and pressed his forehead against hers. “How can I bear to?”

Shen Fanxing’s heart felt warm and bitter. She suddenly felt that she had let him down.

Raising her head, she cupped his face and kissed his thin lips.

She didn’t know what to do. Perhaps kissing him would make him happier and reassure her.

Her soft lips were like flower petals, carrying a fragrance of relief. The touch on his lips was delicate and soft.

The tip of her tongue pried open his lips, passed through his teeth, and touched his tongue…

Everything was awkward and careful.

The tension in Bo Jinchuan’s eyes softened as he felt Shen Fanxing’s intimacy.

How could he not know what her actions meant?

Comfort and please.

But she shouldn’t have tried to appease him.

It was his fault for hurting her.

He shouldn’t have treated Yuan Sichun well.

Bo Jinchuan pushed her away.

“Stop fooling around…”

His dark eyes were filled with warmth and his voice was low and hoarse.

Shen Fanxing pressed her lips against his throat.

Bo Jinchuan shuddered visibly and his breathing quickened.

“Stop fooling around, Fanxing…”

He pressed her hand and his dark gaze swept across her shoulders frequently.

“I’m fine… The whip wound won’t hurt. It’s not like I was stabbed…”

“How dare you!”

Bo Jinchuan’s voice intensified and his face turned fierce.

Shen Fanxing burst into laughter and wrapped her arms around his muscular waist.

“You’re so fierce…”

Bo Jinchuan looked down at her and said, “Why are you smiling when I’m being fierce?”

“Why else would I cry?”

Bo Jinchuan’s eyes darkened as he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her red lips.

She vented and punished him as she attacked.

Bo Jinchuan’s breathing deepened as he turned Shen Fanxing around and placed her on the desk. Finally, he placed his hands on her sides and kissed her again.

Shen Fanxing panted heavily from the kiss and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Ah Chuan…”

She grabbed Bo Jinchuan’s arm excitedly.

She had made a mistake today and could only apologize based on the punishment that the man had given her in the past.

The few times she had taken the initiative, she had been threatened by him. Today, she was so proactive and anxious that the redness in Bo Jinchuan’s eyes rose again.

However, he still forcefully pulled her hand out of his clothes. Then, he pressed it against the table and lowered his head to kiss her carefully. He didn’t reject her anymore.

“Don’t torture me, okay? I don’t want to hurt you again.”

Her injury was something he couldn’t forget.

How could he knowingly commit a crime?

Shen Fanxing wanted to say that she was fine, but the man kissed her the next second. The atmosphere was sorrowful.

But this was good too. As long as she could pull him out of his shackles, she was happy to do so.

However, this warm moment didn’t last long before someone knocked on the door.

Then, the servant’s careful voice sounded from outside.

“Young Master, are you inside?”

Bo Jinchuan stopped kissing her and frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“Madam is arguing with Old Master downstairs. Quickly go down and take a look…”

Shen Fanxing turned her head to look at the closed door before landing on the desk.

–

The two of them left the study. Before they reached the staircase, they heard Lou Ruoyi’s furious voice coming from the living room.

“You saw it when we were in the western suburbs! What kind of character is that?! Have you ever thought about Fanxing’s standpoint?!”
