“Pa!” Shen Jing gave Chen Meng a slap: “Shut up!”

“Shen Jing, how dare you hit my mother!” Jiang Lanzhu exclaimed. Shen Jing glanced at her, raised her hand, and delivered another slap. Even Chen Meng was taken aback by the situation.

Jiang Lanzhu trembled with anger but was firmly held back by the bodyguards. She couldn’t do anything except vent her frustration through words: “Shen Jing, what are you so proud of? Just because Fu Linyuan likes you?!”

Shen Jing smiled indifferently, “Yes, I am indeed relying on Fu Linyuan’s affection for me. What can you do about it?”

Jiang Lanzhu was unable to retort due to Shen Jing’s self-righteous tone. She trembled uncontrollably. Shen Jing’s gaze swept over the three of them. At this moment, they were in a sorry state, each restrained by bodyguards, repenting in front of the tombstone.

Shen Jing adjusted her clothes and said casually, “Tonight, you will all stay here and kneel.” As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wenhe and Chen Meng’s pupils constricted. Shen Jing actually wanted them to stay in the cemetery overnight? No, they didn’t want to!

However, they had no say in the matter. Shen Jing instructed the bodyguards, “Keep an eye on them.”

“Yes, madam,” the bodyguards respectfully nodded.

Shen Jing turned and left the cemetery, leaving behind the frantic shouts of Jiang Wenhe and the others. She listened to them, feeling a great sense of satisfaction. As she reached the foot of the cemetery hill, she just opened the back door when she suddenly noticed an additional person on the originally empty back seat. Shen Jing was surprised, “Fu Linyuan? What are you doing here?”

“I heard you were here, so I came to see.” Fu Linyuan reached out his hand towards Shen Jing, who was still by the car. “Not coming in?”

Shen Jing quickly got in and closed the car door.

Fu Linyuan’s gaze was probing, carrying a compelling pressure. “Shen Jing, I’ve noticed that you’ve been acting strange these past few days.” He had been informed by the bodyguards about the Jiang family and cemetery incident. Shen Jing’s transformation was too drastic, as if she had been possessed.

Shen Jing’s body stiffened, and she turned to face Fu Linyuan, her throat tightening. “Then… do you still like me?” In fact, whether it was in the past or present, she didn’t understand why Fu Linyuan liked her.

“Why are you nervous? No matter how you are, you are still my wife.” Fu Linyuan sensed Shen Jing’s nervousness. He patted her head, trying to soothe her. “If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask.”

As Shen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a warm sensation in her chest.

Fu Linyuan looked at his watch, “It’s getting late. Shall we go eat?”

Actually, Shen Jing wasn’t very hungry. She had eaten too much in the morning. But when she thought that Fu Linyuan hadn’t eaten since morning and was probably starving, she nodded. Upon seeing this, Fu Linyuan smiled slightly, “Then, let your husband take you to have something delicious.”

The place Fu Linyuan brought Shen Jing to was the restaurant owned by his good friend, Mu Sinian. It was called “Chuanhe Restaurant,” the largest and most exclusive dining establishment in the capital and the top choice for upper-class gatherings. It was so popular that even with money, one couldn’t necessarily secure a reservation.

Fu Linyuan got out of the car first, then opened the door for Shen Jing, holding her hand as they entered. When the manager of Chuanhe Restaurant saw Fu Linyuan, he hurriedly came out to greet him. However, his expression changed when he saw Shen Jing. Why did Young Master Fu bring this woman here? Every time she came, trouble followed. There was once she almost destroyed the restaurant. But Shen Jing was Fu Linyuan’s woman, and no matter how much the manager disliked her, he couldn’t say anything. He could only respectfully greet them, “Young Master Fu.” Then, he looked at Shen Jing, “Miss Shen.”

“Manager Zhang,” Shen Jing also greeted him with a smile, appearing quite gentle. Manager Zhang’s eyes widened in astonishment. Was Miss Shen so easy to talk to today? Was she genuinely easy to talk to, or was she brewing something big?

Manager Zhang followed them nervously, worried that Shen Jing might cause trouble again. Fortunately, she behaved herself all the way to Fu Linyuan’s private dining room. Manager Zhang stared at Shen Jing’s retreating figure as if he had seen a ghost. Miss Shen actually behaved so well today?

After they were seated, Fu Linyuan pushed the menu towards Shen Jing, “Take a look and see what you want to eat.”

Shen Jing wasn’t very hungry, so she randomly picked two dishes. Fu Linyuan couldn’t help but glance at her. Wasn’t her appetite good in the morning? Why did she order so little when having a meal with him? And it was all vegetarian dishes. Did she lose her appetite just because she is eating with him?

Countless speculations ran through his mind, but Fu Linyuan didn’t show it on his face. He handed the menu to the manager and asked him to prepare the dishes. Inside the private room, only Fu Linyuan and Shen Jing were present. Fu Linyuan leaned back in his chair, staring at Shen Jing. Shen Jing remained silent, unsure of what to say. The atmosphere in the room was heavy. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Fu Linyuan tapped the table and said, “Shen Jing, speak up.”

Shen Jing: “…”
