Chapter 6

At first, I resisted, struggling against him the whole time.

I even bit Chen Xu’s lip, drawing a bead of blood.

“Shen Ci.”

He raised a hand to wipe the blood away, his gaze turning somewhat cold.

My eyes were rimmed with red, filled with both fear and grievance. “I want to go home…”

Chen Xu suddenly laughed. “Go home? To continue being a puppet on a string?”

“Shen Ci, just how much are you willing to endure?”

I froze.

In the eyes of our elders, Fu Jingsen was a rising star, a refined and elegant young talent.

But in private, his true face was so unbearable.

Everyone advised me to endure it; no one advised him not to betray and hurt his future wife.

Was it simply because the Fu Family had a higher social standing, and the Shen Family was the one climbing up?

Why did I have to consider the big picture?

Just because the invitations had already been sent out and the wedding was in three days?

No one cares if a puppet’s heart is breaking.

A child who has lost her mother effectively loses her biological father at the same moment.

With no one to love her and no one to back her up, she lacks the confidence to even cry or make a scene.

“Shen Ci.”

Chen Xu’s rough thumb brushed away the tear stains at the corners of my eyes.

As he leaned down to kiss me again, I heard him whisper softly, “Don’t cry. I’ll take care of you from now on.”
