Su Chen remained unconscious for three whole days after that fainting spell.

Jiang Zhixia focused on taking care of people at home, busy like a mother hen.

Every day, she had to watch over Lu Jue as he took his medicine and ate, and then go to Su Chen's room to monitor his temperature and see if he would show any abnormalities.

Lu Jue was also surprised that his husband was brought back unconscious.

He stood at the doorway, watching Jiang Zhixia gently take care of people with mixed feelings.

The princess said that the male was injured and needed care.

Was he injured because the princess didn't come to pick him up after the engagement?

A male that gets injured and needs a female to take care of him... that's too weak.

He tried to take over the work from the princess and help take care of the patient.

Jiang Zhixia was pleased that her child was so sensible, and then she pointed with her hand.

"You can't see clearly, go play, we don't need you."

What help can she be if her eyesight is bad? She wouldn't exploit anyone.

Lu Jue, who could now see most of it clearly, thought, "..."

His eyesight has now recovered enough to recognize Jiang Zhixia's expressions, but he didn't say so.

Because once he tells her, the princess might not hold his hand all the time anymore.

Jiang Zhixia had no idea that this kid had so many hidden thoughts; she was focused on taking care of him.

Lu Jue watched helplessly as she wiped the male's body with a towel, and his heart ached.

When Su Chen woke up, the first thing he saw was the crystal chandelier above his head, which was designed for female aesthetics.

He propped himself up and quickly scanned his surroundings.

The room was exquisitely furnished; it was clearly the bedroom of a noblewoman.

He was stunned for a moment, and the image of Su Tongwei saying that she would send him to another female's bed flashed through his mind.

How dare she?! He's still the princess's fiancé!

His blood ran cold, and with trembling hands he pulled open his collar to look inside before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Although the clothes had been changed, there was no contract mark on the chest.

Fortunately, we haven't been forced into a contract yet.

He forced himself to calm down, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.

He was too weak to muster any mental strength, but no matter whose bed he was sent to, he was unwilling to be a female's toy.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

Su Chen grabbed a water glass from the table next to him and smashed it hard on the ground!

“Pah!”

Porcelain shards flew everywhere, and the person outside quickened their pace!

He picked up the largest piece and clutched it in his hand, staring intently at the door.

If this female dares to do anything to him, he will kill her!

What laws? What rules for protecting women? Even if he's arrested, he refuses to submit to them!

The door was pushed open.

He lunged forward and pressed the shard of porcelain in his hand against the female's neck!

Then, he froze.

"……Princess?"

Jiang Zhixia's eyes widened in surprise.

She asked in a panic, "W-what are you doing?"

Su Chen felt as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground, the porcelain shards falling from his hands.

"Princess..." he murmured, his eyes instantly reddening.

Jiang Zhixia quickly kicked the porcelain shards away, squatted down and saw that Su Chen had used a lot of force, and his palm had been cut with a bleeding wound!

She looked at his injuries while comforting him, "It's me! It's me! When did you wake up? Don't be afraid, this is my home, it's safe here!"

Su Chen stared at her blankly.

He didn't expect that what he heard before he passed out was not a hallucination.

The princess took him away.

Su Chen's throat tightened, and he could no longer control his suppressed emotions. His trembling hands pulled the female in front of him tightly into his arms.

"Princess……"

Jiang Zhixia was startled by his hug and gently patted his back: "It's okay, it's okay... it's all over."

She felt the person in her arms trembling, and her heart ached even more.

Sigh, this little bitter gourd...

She felt incredibly guilty and whispered, "It's my fault, I forgot to pick you up. I really didn't mean to. Why didn't you remind me? If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have had to suffer like this!"

Hearing her soft, sweet retort, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle to himself and quietly wiped away his tears.

It's too embarrassing to cry in front of a female.

He released her and good-naturedly admitted, "Yes, it was my fault."

Jiang Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him smile.

After bandaging Su Chen's hand, she helped him out of the bedroom.

"You've been unconscious for three days, you must be starving. Eat something first."

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Lu Jue was already standing there properly.

He saw Su Chen come out and bowed slightly, "Madam."

Jiang Zhixia's ears suddenly felt hot.

Su Chen, on the other hand, was quite natural. He reached out and gently helped him up, smiling warmly, "No need for such formalities. I haven't formed a contract with the princess yet, so I can't be considered her husband."

He remembered this sinner.

He had clearly seen Jiang Zhixia's attitude towards this sinner at the hospital last time.

Even if he were to become the princess's official husband, let alone the fact that he is only temporarily engaged to her, he wouldn't be foolish enough to target an S-class slave who is clearly receiving special treatment from the princess.

But... his gaze swept across the entire room without making a sound.

Judging from the traces here, they usually spent time alone together.

The princess really dotes on this slave.

Jiang Zhixia helped Su Chen sit down at the dining table, then turned and went to the kitchen to get the food.

Lu Jue hesitated for a moment, then sat down.

Su Chen lowered his eyes and remained silent, but in his heart, he was even more certain of the extent to which the princess doted on him.

He asked, "Are you the princess's servant?"

Lu Jue knew his behavior was against the rules, but the princess's words were law.

So he answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, simply repeating Jiang Zhixia's words, "No, the princess said I am a guard."

Su Chen: "..."

Sinners as guards?

Or was it a guard with poor eyesight?

The meal was eaten quietly.

Lu Jue didn't say a word from beginning to end, but silently finished his own portion, and then got up and groped to clear the plate.

In the living room, Jiang Zhixia carefully changed Su Chen's dressing. The wound had stopped bleeding, but the porcelain shard had cut deep and looked painful.

She moved very gently. "How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Su Chen shook his head: "Much better, thank you, Princess."

He looked up at Jiang Zhixia.

Under the light, the female's profile was soft and focused, her long eyelashes drooping as she carefully applied medicine to his hand.

The faint fragrance wafted over, making my heart race and my heart melt.

Jiang Zhixia suddenly looked up and said, "By the way, there's something I need to ask you."

Su Chen: "...What?"

She sat up straight, her expression serious: "Are you going to stay here?"

The air was still for a few seconds.

Su Chen's throat went dry, and a surge of heat rose from his chest and rushed to his face.

Princess, is that what you mean?

Would she be willing to let him stay by her side and be her true husband?

But he still has many things to deal with at the Su family's place and can't leave for the time being... He doesn't know if the princess will be angry if he says this.

But once the Su family is wiped out, he will no longer be a nobleman and will not be qualified to be her legal husband.

...Actually, it's fine if she doesn't become the legal husband, or even a concubine, as long as she's willing.

He is physically weak and mentally damaged. If the princess is kind, it would be best if he could stay by her side peacefully after being favored for a few years. If he had a child...

Jiang Zhixia had no idea that a bunch of ideas had flashed through his mind in a second. Seeing his predicament, she became even more serious.

"I don't know what you're up to, but you'd better not go back to the Su family. Stay here and tell me what you need to do, and I'll help you. When you want to leave, we'll sever ties, and you'll be free."

What?

Su Chen felt as if he had been doused with ice water; his boiling blood instantly calmed down.

His pupils trembled, avoiding the female's earnest gaze and concealing the greed in his eyes.
