Chapter 275 Possessiveness at Play
Wen Jiayue remained silent for a long time.
Shen Fuhan's palms were sweating, but he forced himself to remain calm and waited for her to speak.
At the same time, he didn't quite understand why she didn't believe he was really jealous, and just thought he was making excuses.
He had already made it so obvious.
Is it possible that she can only see Pei Huaijin and can no longer see him at all?
But he was the one who spent every day with her, the one who raised their daughter together, and the one who brought her endless joy.
Pei Huaijin only appeared a few times, yet he's so unforgettable?
Shen Fuhan frowned, and a fragrant breeze swept past him.
Wen Jiayue lay down again, closed her eyes, and said, "I must not be fully awake yet."
She didn't believe for a second that Shen Fuhan would be jealous.
For him, who was as upright and honest as a gentle breeze and a bright moon, matters between men and women were merely a pastime; there was only pleasure, not love.
If there's no love, why would he be jealous?
“A-Yue,” Shen Fuhan called to her calmly, “why don’t you believe me?”
Wen Jiayue thought for a moment and said sincerely, "I don't think the Marquis is that kind of person."
He pressed further, "What kind of person?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
Sibo urged, "My lord, we should set off now."
He had heard the noise inside the house and thought the Marquis was almost recovered, so he kept quiet. He didn't expect him to still be inside.
He had no choice but to knock on the door and urge them on.
Wen Jiayue didn't want to continue this topic; getting ready for duty was more important, so she urged, "My lord, please go wash up and change your clothes."
Shen Fuhan insisted on speaking: "You speak."
Wen Jiayue could only say, "I think the Marquis only has matters of state on his mind and doesn't have any wild thoughts."
Shen Fuhan looked at her quietly: "I am not a saint, I have emotions and desires."
He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person was he in Wen Jiayue's eyes?
So much so that even wild thoughts don't arise.
So what about the sleepless nights he's spent tossing and turning because of Pei Huaijin's appearance these past few days?
Wen Jiayue looked at him in surprise, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood something.
It was probably Shen Fuhan's possessiveness at work; she was his wife, so he wouldn't allow her to look at other men even once.
So the more she explained, the less Shen Fuhan believed her.
Since the more she explained, the worse it got, Wen Jiayue simply stopped arguing and said, "I understand."
Shen Fuhan asked, "Do you really understand?"
“Really,” Wen Jiayue sat up. “My lord, let me help you change your clothes.”
She still has to become a Lady of Imperial Decree, so Shen Fuhan can't make any mistakes at this crucial juncture, otherwise, who knows when the decree for becoming a Lady of Imperial Decree will be issued.
Seeing that she took the initiative to help him change his clothes, Shen Fuhan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she understood.
Wen Jiayue quickly dressed him, and as she tied the jade belt, she wrapped her arms around his waist, and Shen Fuhan hugged her tightly.
"My lord, stop joking," Wen Jiayue said anxiously, "What if you're too late?"
Shen Fuhan gently kissed her hair and whispered, "I was wrong in the study yesterday. It won't happen again. You should rest well today."
Wen Jiayue was stunned. Why did he suddenly become so gentle and considerate?
Before she could figure it out, Shen Fuhan had already neatly tied his jade belt and strode towards the washroom.
Completely bewildered, Wen Jiayue called Ruyi to help her change her clothes.
Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well get up early.
By the time she finished dressing and getting ready, Shen Fuhan had already left.
Wen Jiayue was leisurely eating her breakfast when Ruyi suddenly said, "Madam, Lady Ling has arrived."
Lin Qianqian? It's been a while since I've seen her.
Wen Jiayue looked towards the courtyard and saw her slowly walking over, looking somewhat lost.
Wen Jiayue put down her chopsticks and asked worriedly, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"
“Sister-in-law,” Lin Qianqian hesitated, glancing around at the maids, “could I speak with you alone for a few minutes?”
Wen Jiayue nodded solemnly and dismissed the maids.
She said seriously, "Tell me, has Guard Ling treated you badly?"
"No," Lin Qianqian hurriedly waved her hands, stammering, "I...I yesterday..."
Her face flushed red, and she couldn't come up with a coherent explanation for a long time.
Wen Jiayue frowned and said, "Just tell me, I'll help you with anything I can."
Lin Qianqian then gritted her teeth and spoke haltingly, "Yesterday, when I was taking a bath, my husband suddenly came back... He shouldn't have come back at that time, but he was injured in a sword fight with the Marquis and came back to apply medicine, so... that's when he saw me..."
She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Nothing really happened, but I noticed that my husband's eyes seemed to have changed, like a wolf's."
Unable to make up her mind, she asked hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do?"
Wen Jiayue remained silent for a long while, then asked in a daze, "Qianqian, what are you thinking?"
She's an outsider after all, how could she interfere in their marriage? This is something Lin Qianqian has to decide for herself.
"I...I don't know," Lin Qianqian said nervously, rubbing her hands together. "I'm a little scared."
Last night, when they shared a bed, Ling He scrutinized her for a long time. She didn't dare to look him in the eye and only dared to fall asleep with her back to him.
Wen Jiayue thought for a moment and asked, "Are you afraid of consummating the marriage, or are you afraid of him as a person?"
“I’m scared,” Lin Qianqian said, biting her lip. “I wasn’t afraid of him anymore, but after what happened yesterday, I’m even more afraid now.”
Wen Jiayue sighed; this was truly a difficult situation.
When Ling He didn't understand, things were fine, and the two lived in peace.
Those who only vaguely understand now will eventually get to the point, and then they'll have to consummate their marriage.
But Lin Qianqian was unwilling. Was she supposed to tell Shen Fuhan to order that Ling He not to consummate the marriage?
This is too ridiculous.
After thinking it over, Wen Jiayue said, "Qianqian, it's not too late if you want a divorce."
Lin Qianqian was stunned: "After the divorce, where should I go?"
“Go back to the Lin residence, or find a place to start over. I will try to persuade the Marquis to help you.”
Upon hearing that she would need her cousin's help again, Lin Qianqian immediately refused. She had already troubled them too many times and felt really bad about it.
Moreover, she didn't have the courage to move to a different place. Where could a young woman like her go?
She also did not want to return to the Lin residence.
It seems... there's only one way left.
Realizing that her future stable life would depend on Ling He, Lin Qianqian felt somewhat relieved.
They should have consummated their marriage six months ago; it's been long enough already.
Besides, Ling He isn't a bad person, and he treats her very well. What more could she possibly want?
“Sister-in-law, I’ve thought it through,” Lin Qianqian said. “When that day comes, I will accept it.”
Wen Jiayue then instructed Ruyi to give the fire-avoidance diagram to Lin Qianqian.
She feigned composure and said, "You two should both take a good look then."
Lin Qianqian curiously turned to a page, then immediately closed it with a flushed face.
Wen Jiayue coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "You just said that the Marquis and Guard Ling were having a sword fight?"
Lin Qianqian nodded, displeased, and said, "Lord Marquis was too heavy-handed; he even injured my husband's arm."
After saying that, she quickly explained, "I didn't mean to blame the Marquis, it's just... it's just..."
Wen Jiayue replied knowingly, "I understand."
He was only concerned about Ling He without realizing it.
But why did Shen Fuhan suddenly start sparring with someone?
