Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli froze, and opened her mouth to reply.

However, Yu Chen didn't give her a chance, and continued, "Not familiar with him? This kind of close guidance..."

As he spoke, his deep, dark eyes seemed to devour people.

Su Wuli suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and quickly explained, "No, I refused..."

The next second, he abruptly pulled his hand back from the tree trunk and, without warning, grabbed her neck.

He pressed his fingers on the pulse points on both sides of her neck.

The force was controlled with great precision; it did not obstruct breathing, but it brought a suffocating feeling of having one's life and death controlled.

"Su Wuli." He leaned down and lowered his voice.

With a chilling calm, he said, "Do you think I won't kill you?"

Su Wuli's blood seemed to freeze at that moment.

The feeling of suffocation made her tremble uncontrollably.

She wanted to shake her head, to deny it, but her throat was held captive by his hand, and she couldn't make a sound.

She looked at him with timid eyes.

Yu Chen's dark eyes were fixed on her, and the fingers gripping her neck tightened slightly.

The sense of oppression suddenly intensified, and Su Wuli began to have difficulty breathing.

Su Wuli's mind went blank for a moment, followed by an overwhelming surge of fear.

Is this really the time to die? To die in a dream...

She was thinking this...

However, the force suddenly loosened the next second.

Immediately afterwards, the man's face suddenly turned serious.

A kiss, carrying both punishment and fierce possession, fell, suffocating all her unspoken gasps and gasps.

The man's lips were burning hot as he forcefully pried open the man's teeth.

His hand was still around her neck, but now it had changed from tightening to caressing.

Warm fingertips gently massaged the fair skin.

He then enveloped her chin with his kiss, lifting her head to meet his kiss.

Su Wuli was almost suffocated by his kisses; the fingertips on her neck and jaw were so hot they made her bones feel soft and melt.

His scent filled her lips and tongue.

Before the extreme fear had completely subsided, the sudden kiss threw her into a daze.

Her body trembled uncontrollably under his restraint and kisses.

I can't tell if it's because of fear or something else.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally stepped back a little.

His forehead pressed against hers, his breath heavy and hot, spraying onto her equally panting mouth and nose.

"Su Wuli." He called her name, his voice low and hoarse. "Remember it clearly."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Su Wuli was already dizzy from the kisses and couldn't understand what she was hearing.

Without warning, he kissed her again.

It was fiercer and went deeper than before.

It carried a hint of violent impulse.

The woods were quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

And there were increasingly out-of-control breathing and heartbeat sounds.

Su Wuli's back was pressed against the rough tree trunk, and the protrusions of the bark scraped against her, causing discomfort.

His long arms encircled her waist, almost breaking her and embedding her into his body.

The large hands that controlled her neck and jaw forced her to tilt her head back and endure his punishing bites.

A faint taste of blood gradually filled my mouth; I didn't know whose lips were cut.

Completely deprived of breathing, Su Wuli could only let out suffocating groans from her nose.

When he stepped back again, leaving a brief respite.

Su Wuli felt a burning pain in her lips and her chest heaving violently.

Meeting Yu Chen's gaze, her already disordered breathing became even more disordered.

Suddenly, a large hand roughly ripped open the straps and buckles of the riding outfit.

The subtle sound of the metal buckle popping open was amplified in the excessively quiet forest.

It was so jarring it sent chills down my spine.

"No..." Su Wuli suddenly came to her senses and managed to find a voice.

Her hand was weak as she grabbed his wrist. "Not here... Jiang Yue is still outside—"

"Jiang Yue?" Yu Chen interrupted her, his eyes instantly turning icy cold. "Thinking about him?"

"No..." Su Wuli hurriedly shook her head.

Meeting the man's fierce gaze, she was eager to say something.

However, the last trace of warmth in Yu Chen's eyes disappeared.

He ignored the complicated buttons and, with a "rip," the fabric was torn apart.

Su Wuli cried out in surprise, futilely trying to cover herself with her arms.

"What is he anyway?" Yu Chen leaned down, his hot breath brushing against her ear.

Lowering her voice, she said, "You're this worried about a phantom that doesn't even know what it is?"

He paused, his eyes fixed on her. "So that's why you're so afraid I'll kill him? Even if it's just an illusion, you still feel sorry for him."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized that she had forgotten that Jiang Yue was an illusion in her dream.

But... even if it's an illusion, you can't just kill it indiscriminately...

Before she could even process what was happening, the man's knee forcefully slammed into her crotch.

Su Wuli panicked, but he suppressed her even more forcefully.

His hand pressed against the skin, with a hint of roughness.

"No..." Su Wuli's voice trembled uncontrollably, with a hint of fear of being caught crying.

Her hands weakly pushed against his hard chest, "Please don't... he'll hear..."

"Did you hear that?" Yu Chen lowered his head and bit her collarbone hard.

Su Wuli gasped.

Then he said with a hint of ruthlessness, "Then let him hear it clearly."

Su Wuli looked at him and shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears.

Seeing Yu Chen's eyes harden, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you're really worried about him, I can let him watch from the side."

He had all the control over the place.

Su Wuli always kept in mind that Jiang Yue was still outside.

The rough bark caused a slight stinging sensation when rubbed against it.

He's too fierce.

Su Wuli's already moist eyes quickly filled with tears, and she felt inexplicably wronged.

But in front of Yu Chen, she had absolutely no power to resist.

"Su Wuli..."

Suddenly, Jiang Yue's voice came from outside.

Su Wuli heard it clearly, and a huge sense of shame and panic at being spied on overwhelmed her.

My body trembled uncontrollably, and tears finally welled up in my eyes.

"He's outside..." she stammered, tears streaming down her face, "No... please don't... I'm scared..."

Tears streamed down her face as she looked at the man before her with pleading eyes.

His gaze fell on her face, and Su Wuli could almost see his brows furrowed tightly.

His face still held a hint of hostility, and he was extremely agitated.

He muttered something under his breath, but Su Wuli didn't hear it.

The next second, Yu Chen released one hand, holding her with one hand, and pressed her head against his shoulder with the other.

She buried her face in his neck, and Su Wuli's tears instantly soaked the skin beneath his collar.

"Shut up, stop crying," he commanded, his voice close to her ear.

Su Wuli still couldn't stop sobbing, even though she knew her crying might upset him.

Who knows, Yu Chen might just snap her neck if he gets annoyed.

But Su Wuli just couldn't help it.

Just as she was overwhelmed by her complicated emotions, Yu Chen's voice rang out again.

With a hint of threat, she said, "If you cry again, I'll call him in right now."

After saying that, he tightened his arms around her, almost pulling her into his embrace.

His back was freed from the rough tree trunk, and his face was pressed against his shoulder.

Su Wuli couldn't stop her tears, her body trembled, and sobs escaped her throat uncontrollably.

The man holding her seemed even more agitated, his chest heaving violently.

After a few seconds of silence, he muttered something under his breath.

Then he roughly wiped the tears off her face.

The calluses on his fingertips stung her cheek as he rubbed them.

Her voice was hoarse, but it softened a bit. "Don't cry...be good."
