Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Chapter 204 I Didn't Cry for Him

Su Wuli lifted her head from his chest, "Don't say that—"

"Still protecting him like this?" Yu Chen's eyes darkened.

Su Wuli choked, and then spoke.

"I wasn't protecting him, I was afraid you'd misunderstand. Later, he had someone take me back, and I gave him the address of the Regent's Palace. I wanted to go back to find you, but I disappeared on the way."

Yu Chen's brows relaxed, then furrowed again.

"No wonder that fellow broke into the palace and said that I kidnapped you on the way."

what?

Su Wuli was taken aback; so that's why.

She had just felt something was off; why was Xiao Junyi looking for her for no reason?

Yu Chen removed his hand from the back of her hand, placed it on the back of her head, and pulled her back into his arms.

"Why didn't you call out to me when you were in the alley?"

Su Wuli buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled.

"It happened so suddenly. I think... Xiao Junyi is the male lead, a good person, and when he called you... he was too far away."

"A good person," Yu Chen read aloud.

Su Wuli secretly glanced up from his chest and caught a glimpse of his lips twitching slightly.

"He is a good man, I am the villain, and I am guilty of heinous crimes."

Before she could say anything, Yu Chen spoke first.

"I am indeed guilty of heinous crimes."

"Don't do this," Su Wuli said instinctively.

"Didn't you just see that?" Yu Chen took her hand and placed it on her knee.

"Do you really believe me?" she asked.

He looked at her and said slowly, "I don't believe you."

Upon hearing this, she was stunned.

Yu Chen raised his hand and rubbed his thumb against the corner of her eye, wiping away the tear that was hanging there.

"And then what? I'll snap your neck?"

His eyes flickered slightly, no longer as heavy as before.

His fingers lingered at the corner of her eye, brushing against the skin soaked with tears.

hurts a little.

"So prone to crying." Yu Chen said softly.

Su Wuli looked at her and sniffed, but didn't say anything.

There was still blood on his face from the splatter, which had now congealed into a small patch.

She raised her hand and rubbed it, but the blood had dried and couldn't be wiped off.

Yu Chen reached out and picked up a handkerchief from the side, then stuffed it into her hand.

Su Wuli glanced down and saw that the handkerchief was the one she had just used, and there were still dark red marks on it.

She took it and held it in her hand without moving it.

"Xiao Junyi's blood." He wiped it with the back of his hand with some disgust. "It smells awful."

Yu Chen looked at her and said, "Help me wipe it off."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli met his deep eyes.

I knew he did it on purpose.

"Mmm," she responded, her voice slightly nasal.

She took the handkerchief, turned it over, and used the clean corner to wipe the blood off his face.

The blood had dried and was difficult to wipe off, so Su Wuli wiped it back and forth several times.

Yu Chen sat still, letting her wipe him.

After finally drying off, he opened his eyes.

He said, "Bring that book next time."

Su Wuli paused, "What?"

"The novel you mentioned," he paused, "'Encountering Mountains and Rivers'."

Su Wuli stared at his face, trying to see something in it.

Anyone would find it hard to accept the fact that they are just a fictional character in a book in a short period of time.

However, Yu Chen's face remained expressionless at this moment.

"Okay." Su Wuli nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he was about to stand up, she immediately grabbed his sleeve.

A little nervous, "Where are you going?"

The man looked down at her hands, then looked up at her face.

"You've lost so much fluid just now," he said, looking into her eyes. "Aren't you thirsty?"

水?

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

Yu Chen's lips twitched. "Tears."

Upon hearing this, her face flushed instantly, and she released her grip on his sleeve.

I thought he was going to go and pour water, but the next second...

Yu Chen stood up, bent down, and scooped her up from the couch by slipping one hand under her knee.

Su Wuli let out a soft cry and hugged his neck tightly.

He carried her with one arm for a few steps to the table, and used the other hand to pour water from a cup.

Su Wuli was held in his arms, her face pressed against his neck, in an extremely awkward position.

She wanted to get down, but he tightened his grip on her hand a little more.

Yu Chen held the glass of water to her lips.

Su Wuli glanced down at it, then lowered her head.

I touched the rim of the glass with my lips and took a sip.

However, the cup inevitably touched the cut on her lips, causing her to gasp and frown.

"pain."

The cut on Su Wuli's lip was still red, and the edges were a little swollen.

Yu Chen's gaze fell on it, then he took the cup back and took a sip himself.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

The water passed through his mouth, carrying his warmth.

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment. He gently touched the cut on her lips and then withdrew.

His eyes remained lowered, fixed on the wound on his lip. "Does it still hurt?"

Su Wuli noticed the slight change in the man's eyes and subconsciously licked her lips.

The cut still hurt when it touched the tip of my tongue.

Her voice couldn't help but carry a hint of coquettishness, "It hurts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen raised his hand and touched his lower lip.

He also had a cut on his lip.

He pressed his finger down, "This king is not in pain."

Seeing this, Su Wuli looked at him and muttered something under her breath.

"Thick-skinned and robust..."

He didn't hear clearly, but Su Wuli saw the corner of his mouth twitch.

Yu Chen gently placed her on the chair next to him, then turned and walked to the door to open it.

The Shadow Falcon stood outside the door with its eyes downcast.

Yu Chen said a few words in a low voice.

But Su Wuli still heard a few words.

Xiao Junyi

Shadow Falcon responded and turned to leave.

Su Wuli sat in the chair, watching Yu Chen walk back.

Su Wuli subconsciously asked, "Xiao Junyi..."

He stood before her, looking down at her. "Aren't you afraid he'll die?"

She nodded.

Yu Chen sat down next to her and said slowly, "He died without me even needing to see a doctor or lift a finger."

"You're going to find him a doctor?" Su Wuli asked in surprise.

"Otherwise what?" Yu Chen raised his hand and pinched her chin, slowly stroking it. "I don't want to see you cry for another man."

"I didn't cry for him," Su Wuli said, looking at him with a hint of grievance. "You're the one who scared me."

"My fault?" Yu Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Mmm." Su Wuli nodded subconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man chuckled softly, and the hand that was holding her chin slowly moved to her earlobe, gently rubbing it.

"Anyone who dared to say I was wrong in front of me," he said, pausing and deliberately emphasizing his words, "is dead."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was taken aback. "I..."

"You've certainly grown bolder." Yu Chen continued to rub her earlobe, his words revealing no anger, but rather a hint of pleasure.

The deliberate teasing on her earlobe made Su Wuli's breath catch in her throat, and she subconsciously bit her lip, not wanting to make a sound.

However, she bit the wound on her lip.

"Ugh..." Su Wuli cried out in pain.

The next second, the man's warm fingertips quickly released her earlobe and pressed against her lower lip.

He leaned closer to examine her wound, his brow furrowing slightly. "How can you be so sensitive to pain?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, his eyes darkened, and then he let out a soft sigh.
