A Substitute Bride With Multiple Identities
Chapter 100: Want a Hug?

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Want a Hug?

Shen Yanhe didn’t avoid his touch for the first time and obediently let him caress her.

Her eyes slightly drooped, yet her heart felt an indescribable loss due to what he had just said.

Was it just because... duty?

Fu Yanhe keenly sensed the change in the girl’s emotions. His narrow eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you want a hug?"

Her current look resembled a stray cat that had seen its former owner buy a new cat.

Pitifully so.

Shen Yanhe was startled for a moment, subconsciously lifting her head to meet his deep black eyes.

Fu Yanhe’s gaze was gentle and steady, lacking any of the darkness and irritability she had felt when she first approached him.

As if possessed, Shen Yanhe nodded her head and extended her arms to him, "I want a hug."

The next moment, the man leaned forward, embracing her tightly in his arms.

The unique sandalwood scent of the man became intense, enveloping her entirely.

Shen Yanhe rested her chin on his shoulder, her cat-like eyes slowly blinked, and she slowly raised her hands to embrace him in return.

This hug was completely different from previous ones.

Being held in his arms this way, doing nothing, yet it brought Shen Yanhe a sense of security.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, San Fang silently raised the partition.

He wasn’t going to be the third wheel!

The two embraced quietly for a few minutes until Shen Yanhe took the initiative to let go of him. Her soft, fair cheeks blushed, her eyes twinkling, she dared not look at him, "Okay, that’s enough."

Fu Yanhe’s gaze fell on the girl’s blushing face, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes.

He did not create distance between them, but instead sat closer to her. He captured one of her soft, fair hands and played with it casually, asking absentmindedly, "Are you going to let the Shen Family off?"

"If you want to let them off, I can stop making things difficult for the Shen Corporation."

After all, in his eyes, the Shen Corporation was just a little mouse that he could squash anytime, anywhere.

Letting them off would not pose any threat to him.

Shen Yanhe blinked her cat-like eyes, looking at him with some surprise, "Why should I let them off? Do I look that... kind?"

She had often been called a ruthless woman who didn’t spit out bones after devouring people.

If it hadn’t been for her grandmother’s sake, she would have bankrupted the Shen Family eight hundred years ago. There would have been no need for the Fu Family’s intervention.

And now, with her grandmother thoroughly disappointed in Shen Guowei, it was certainly time to pursue their downfall and crush the Shen Corporation.

Returning evil for good is God’s and the Virgin Mary’s business, but she simply wanted to send those from the Shen Family off to meet God.

Fu Yanhe’s eyebrows raised slightly, "I thought you might say, for Grandma Shen’s sake, spare the Shen Corporation for now."

After all, it wouldn’t look good for a grandson-in-law to ruin his father-in-law’s company.

"Grandma is not unreasonable. She has completely seen through Shen Guowei and won’t bother with him anymore."

Shen Yanhe shook her head, her cat-like eyes curved slightly with a bit of mischief, "The best case would be to crush Shen Corporation now and absorb it, to properly get my revenge."

Fu Yanhe looked at her, the corners of his eyes slightly darkened as he chuckled softly.

His voice was already exceptional.

The low chuckle sounded even more captivating with a touch of deep magnetism, causing Shen Yanhe’s spine to tingle slightly, prompting her to look at him.

Fu Yanhe reached out to gently caress the slightly reddened corners of her eyes, his deep black eyes shimmering with fine laughter, "I know what to do now."

"Rest assured, my lady, I will make sure you get your revenge."

-

On the other side.

Having driven away from the Shen Family villa and picking up a flashy woman to approach Fu Xiao, Hang Mushan received messages from his subordinates about the Shen Family.

He casually parked the car on roadside, leaned the seat back, and crossed his long legs over the steering wheel as he seriously scrolled through the information he had just received on his phone.

"So that’s how it is... no wonder the doctor would marry into the Fu Family."

Hang Mushan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gripped his phone harder, his knuckles turning white, a coldness in his gaze, and he chuckled coldly, "The Shen Family dares to treat the doctor like this, thinking she has no one to support her?"

"Just a small Shen Family, to think they consider themselves above everyone else."

Hang Mushan snorted coldly, exited the information page, and sent a message to his subordinates to find an opportunity to "legitimately" bring down the Shen Family.

Once the Shen Family collapsed, he would buy it and gift it to the doctor for her amusement.

-

Back at the villa.

Shen Yanhe returned to her room to shower.

After the shower, Fu Yanhe had a maid send over some ointment for her to apply on her swollen face.

After applying the ointment, just as she was preparing to give Fu Yanhe an injection, her phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Song Shiwei, who had been in contact with her via WeChat, suddenly called.

"Shiwei, what’s wrong?" Shen Yanhe pressed the phone to her ear, sat back on the bed, and asked, "Why did you suddenly call me?"

Inside Ancheng Private Hospital.

Song Shiwei hid around a corner, peeked at a noisy ward not far away, and asked her in a lowered voice, "He Miao, didn’t you ask me to pay extra attention to Xia Ran’s disappearance this morning? Let me tell you, Xia Ran has been found."

"She was dumped at the Xia Family’s doorstep, and when found, she was in bad shape and was rushed to the hospital."

"Coincidentally, I was also at this hospital and happened to overhear doctors mention that Xia Ran had taken a potent aphrodisiac!"

Song Shiwei lowered her voice, "That aphrodisiac is extremely harmful, and because Xia Ran did not get timely treatment, it severely damaged her body, possibly rendering her infertile for life!"

"The Xia Family is causing a scene in the hospital right now! I can hear Xia Ran’s cries from afar."

Shen Yanhe’s face showed slight surprise, "The missing Xia Ran was fed an aphrodisiac? Is that true?"

The kidnappers didn’t want money but just to feed her aphrodisiacs? What for?

Oddly enough, Shen Yanhe thought of Fu Yanhe.

Could it be him?

As soon as this thought appeared, Shen Yanhe dismissed it.

Because that’s impossible.

Xia Ran was his former fiancée, and there had been feelings between them, how could he be so cruel to Xia Ran.

"Of course, it’s true, I heard it with my own ears." Song Shiwei adjusted her sunhat and whispered, "I also heard that her fiancé from the Yan Family wants to break off their engagement!"

Shen Yanhe clicked her tongue twice, feeling no sympathy for Xia Ran whatsoever.

She hadn’t forgotten that Xia Ran had drugged her at Song Shiwei’s engagement party.

If she hadn’t been so busy these days, she would have let Xia Ran taste what it’s like to burn with desire.

But before she could act, someone else beat her to it.

It was rather annoying.

She didn’t dwell on Xia Ran’s issue too much and instead asked Song Shiwei, "Are you sick? What are you doing at the hospital?"
