Recalling the second night they spent together, he kissed her deeply, leaving her cheeks flushed and ears burning. Fu Nancheng went to the study, while Su Ci entered the bridal chamber alone. She took her nightgown and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Soon, the door opened, and Fu Nancheng returned. Su Ci's phone was on the bedside table, and at that moment, it 'dinged' with an incoming text message. Fu Nancheng wasn't trying to pry into her privacy, but the phone screen lit up, automatically displaying a text message notification, which was from Fu Jue. Fu Nancheng's eyes darkened. Why would Fu Jue send a text to Su Xue? At that moment, there was a 'tap' as the bathroom door opened, and warm steam carrying a faint fragrance wafted out as Su Ci stepped out. Fu Nancheng turned to look at her, 'Fu Jue sent you a message.' What? Su Ci instantly stiffened. Fu Nancheng's suspicious gaze roamed over her, 'Why would Fu Jue send you a message?' Su Ci felt that she would eventually be ruined by Fu Jue, but she forced herself to remain calm and stepped forward to take her phone, 'Oh, Fu Jue has a fondness for that little maid Su Ci, so he wants to learn more about her from me.' She said with a smile, 'It seems Fu Jue is quite taken with Su Ci. They seem a good match, don't you think?' Fu Nancheng's deep, narrow eyes showed no hint of emotion, 'I don't think they're a good match. Fu Jue is simple-minded, and someone like Su Ci isn't worthy of him.' She's not worthy of Fu Jue. So this was the reason he had always opposed her being with Fu Jue. 'It seems Su Ci hasn't done anything to offend you, so why do you hold such a strong prejudice against her?'

Fu Nancheng stepped forward and looked at the girl's little face. Her complexion was pinkish from the bath, tender and juicy as if water could be squeezed out of it, making one want to take a bite. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little cheek, then said a few words, 'She's not as clean as you.' He thinks Su Xue is clean, and thinks she's dirty, right? Su Ci was furious. She suddenly stood on tiptoes and kissed his thin lips directly. She thought resentfully, now he's dirty too, let's be dirty together! Fu Nancheng's tall and straight figure stiffened, and he reached out to embrace her slender waist. This waist... seems to be the same size, sixteen inches, just like that little maid Su Ci. Fu Nancheng finally knew why he was attracted to Su Ci, because Su Ci was very similar to Su Xue in every way. With a face similar to Su Xue's, the same figure, she kept appearing in front of him, confusing his feelings. He would not be seduced again, because the current Su Xue was irresistible to him. He didn't know if it was because she had removed her makeup, but both the daytime Su Xue and the nighttime Su Xue made his heart flutter. He originally wanted to end this marriage, but now he had completely changed his mind. Fu Nancheng gripped her soft waist, his gaze hot and dark as he stared at her, 'I haven't taken a shower yet, are you so eager, Mrs. Fu?'

"Mrs. Fu." This was the first time he called her "Mrs. Fu." His deep, hoarse, and magnetic voice carried a hint of tender indulgence. Thump thump thump. Su Ci once again heard the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat. She had been reluctant to bite him, but his "Mrs. Fu" made her entire body go limp. Could it be that she had fallen for him? Had she fallen for Fu Nancheng? No, it couldn't be. He was Su Xue's husband, and she was just an unwilling substitute. How could she develop feelings for him? All of his current tenderness and indulgence, even this "Mrs. Fu," were meant for Su Xue!
