    🍁The "wife-chasing-after-the-crematorium" story is a lie to say he wasn't angry. Fu Cheng wasn't exactly known for his gentle nature, and he'd been suppressing his anger the whole way, which explained his frightening expression. Song Shengsheng nestled quietly in his arms, not daring to utter a sound. She remembered her ending in her dream, being beaten to death. In the dream, her soul, which had witnessed the entire book, seemed to feel the pain along with her own. It felt like being smashed to pieces. Song Shengsheng clutched the man's shirt, leaning against his hard chest. His large hands gripped her waist firmly, effortlessly. Song Shengsheng was a little afraid of him, but she couldn't help but say, "It hurts. Be gentle." As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at the man; his jawline was taut with a particularly cold curve. She shamelessly explained, "I didn't run away with anyone else." She felt guilty saying this herself, her voice barely audible. "I was just a little tired, so I came out for some fresh air." Fu Cheng raised an eyebrow, looking at her guilty explanation with a hint of surprise. He had thought she wouldn't even bother to explain.
