Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 552 The Republic-era Miss Who Admitted Her Mistake to Her Arranged Marriage (23)

Shen Yuncang did not let Mu Zhou continue asking questions.

His voice was flat and emotionless.

But only he knew that he was already enduring it all.

The first thing Mu Zhou did upon waking up was to ask about Shen Congjun, which made him extremely uncomfortable, yet he knew he had no right to do so.

That was her nominal fiancé, so it's normal for her to be curious and concerned.

But he just couldn't accept it.

His cold interruption startled Mu Zhou, who seemed to finally remember his identity as the young marshal, and timidly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

Her fear was obvious, and Shen Yucang was both angry and heartbroken.

He reluctantly softened his voice:

"The doctor said your sudden fever was due to overthinking and being frightened. I want to wait until you recover before we talk. Listen to me and take your medicine first."

He brought in the medicine that the servant had just heated up.

Mu Zhou took it, but frowned after just one bite.

Memories of the time I was unconscious came flooding back.

While she was unconscious, it was Shen Yucang who fed her the medicine...

As for how to administer the medicine, Mu Zhou felt a bit hot and didn't want to think about it anymore, so she drank the medicine in one gulp.

The slight flush on her cheeks inevitably reminded Shen Yucang of the time he had given her the medicine.

A tingling sensation spread through his chest. Shen Yucang swallowed a few times, silently waiting for the strange feeling to dissipate.

Seeing that Mu Zhou had finished her medicine, he handed her a piece of preserved plum candy.

"The medicine is a bit bitter, have a piece of candy to help it down."

His tone was so indulgent, like he was coaxing a child, and the dark, fiery light in his beautiful eyes was captivating.

Mu Zhou dared not look any longer, lowered her eyelashes, took the candy, and silently put it in her mouth.

Shen Yucang stared intently at her.

Her originally dry lips finally became moist after drinking water and taking medicine.

Her lips parted slightly, revealing the tips of her white teeth, as she gently bit the candy, her small tongue peeking out from behind her.

He narrowed his eyes, his mouth suddenly going dry.

At this moment, Mu Zhou's face was fair and elegant, with a pointed chin.

Perhaps because she had just recovered from her illness, she exuded a cool and languid charm.

It's incredibly alluring.

It's just terrible.

Shen Yuncang couldn't resist, so he grabbed the back of her neck and leaned forward.

After kissing her again, the sweet and sour taste of plum candy blossomed on my lips.

He was itching with desire, as if no amount of force was enough, and his kisses were both fierce and seductive.

Mu Zhou didn't know why he suddenly kissed her. She struggled to break free, her cheeks instantly burning.

"Well……"

She sobbed, her heart pounding.

Her lips, which he had bitten, were almost numb, and her whole body felt weak and sore.

When he finally let her go, Mu Zhou slapped him without thinking.

She used some force in that slap.

Shen Yucang's head tilted to one side after being hit by her.

Shen Chucang's cheeks burned with pain. He touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, as if he were smiling.

Then, as if nothing had happened, her tone remained calm and gentle:

"You've slept for a day and a night, are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you some food."

His composure was tinged with a strange sense of unease.

Mu Zhou was panting, her breathing still not calm. She had been glaring at him angrily, but after hearing his words, she became more wary.

Not right.

Did I damage his brain with that slap?

Shen Juncang smiled helplessly, his tone sincere:

"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt just now."

His apology came so quickly that Mu Zhou was at a loss for words.

She bit her lip and silently clenched her fingers.

Seeing her bewildered and hesitant, Shen Yuncang subtly curled his lips.

A hidden strength flashed in his eyes.

Mu Zhou's illness made him more cautious; he could no longer be as forceful and reckless as before.

That would only earn Mu Zhou's resentment and resistance.

He should be more gentlemanly, gentler, and more patient.

But Mu Zhou's allure was too great for him, and he couldn't control himself, which frightened her again.

You need to learn to hide.

Shen Huocang admonished himself.

If he wanted to use force, he could certainly keep Mu Zhou by his side, preventing him from going anywhere.

But now he wants more.

He wanted Mu Zhou to be willing.

If a facade could make her willing to give him her heart, then he would hide his domineering and overbearing nature.

She's so soft-hearted; she'll never be able to bear leaving.

After the meal, Mu Zhou regained some of his strength.

Perhaps it's because people miss home more when they're sick, Mu Zhou suggested calling his family.

Shen Yucang did not directly refuse, but simply said:

"It's getting late now, and calling home at this hour might make your family worry that something might have happened to you."

His reasoning was reasonable, so Mu Zhou decided to wait until tomorrow to discuss it further.

However, she couldn't help but ask the question:

"Shen Congjun said that you knew all along that he was my fiancé, so you persecuted him. Is that true?"

Just as Shen Yucang was about to hand her the medicine, a strong sense of malice flashed across his lowered eyes upon hearing her words.

He then looked up at her, his face full of hurt:

"In your eyes, am I this kind of person?"

Mu Zhou opened his mouth, as if to say, "How would I know what kind of person you are?"

After all, you've been lying all along.

But the grievance in Shen Huocang's eyes was too obvious.

When someone so unrestrained and flamboyant reveals such emotions, it is always particularly hard to resist.

Mu Zhou felt a pang of reluctance, so he had no choice but to steel himself and shake his head.

"That's not what I meant. Maybe he misunderstood."

But since she had already brought it up, she continued to ask.

"So where is he now?"

Shen Juncang did not hide anything and appeared extremely frank:

"Since he is with Wen Yuzhi, I cannot be sure whether he knew about or was involved in what happened that day, so I can only detain him for now."

Shen Juncang looked serious, as if he were upholding the law.

Mu Zhou immediately tensed up upon hearing this:

"Could he possibly know about what happened at the theater that day?"

But she quickly shook her head:

"No, he was the one who appeared just in time to save me that day..."

"Zhouzhou."

Shen Zuncang sighed, took her hand, and spoke in a seductive and gentle tone:

"You're too naive. What you see isn't necessarily the truth."

He spoke slowly, as if carrying some unspeakable truth.

Mu Zhou went from being completely bewildered to suddenly realizing the truth, and could hardly believe it.

"You mean, he did it on purpose?"

Shen Juncang's eyes were unfathomable, but his tone carried a hint of eeriness:

"Nothing is certain right now, but I will find out the truth, don't worry."

Shen Juncang lowered his eyelids, concealing his sinister intentions and schemes.

He coaxed Mu Zhou to sleep first.

He also had his own reasons for asking Mu Zhou to leave:

“You’ve just gone through something so terrible, you’re prone to nightmares at night. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything, I’ll just stay with you.”

He successfully persuaded Mu Zhou.

After Mu Zhou fell asleep again, he sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked her cheek, looking quite pleased with himself.

He silently chuckled at Mu Zhou's doubts about Shen Congjun before going to sleep.

What does it matter whether Shen Congjun knew about it or not?

If he says yes, then Shen Congjun is aware of it.

He would never allow Shen Congjun to remain in Mu Zhou's heart as a hero who saves the beauty and is a white moonlight.

His boat can only hold him in its heart.
