Chapter 7: Hubby

It wasn't until her gaze landed on Shi Jin's mask that Deng Yufei involuntarily revealed a smile. So what if her figure was good? That scar on her face had already destined Shi Jin to have nothing to do with the words "great beauty."

Even if Fu Xiuyuan didn't mind for a moment, it was impossible for him not to mind forever.

The Fu family was even less likely to tolerate a disfigured woman becoming their young mistress!

Seeing Fu Xiuyuan appear behind Shi Jin, Deng Yufei seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Shi Jin, are you okay? It’s all my fault for accidentally letting it slip that Master Fu knows you’re going to look for Chu Ling. Let’s go find him quietly today!"

Shi Jin had been wearing a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes. When she stared at Deng Yufei, it made Deng Yufei’s heart flutter with panic for a moment.

"Shi Jin, what’s wrong with you? Didn't we agree to go participate in the recording of *National Singer-Songwriter* today?" Deng Yufei changed her tune.

But anyone who knew about the show *National Singer-Songwriter* knew that its most eye-catching mentor was Shi Jin’s former fiancé, the most popular artist in S Country, Chu Ling!

It was precisely because she followed him everywhere that Shi Jin had entered the entertainment industry; wherever Chu Ling went, she followed.

In front of Chu Ling, she tried her best to perform well, yet she was afraid that if she were too outstanding, Fu Xiuyuan would cling to her even more tightly. As a result, Shi Jin’s acting was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and her entire state was very disjointed, earning her more haters than fans.

Sure enough, upon hearing Deng Yufei’s words, the man behind Shi Jin visibly shifted from clear skies to overcast, on the verge of entering storm mode.

Deng Yufei was secretly pleased; Shi Jin was going to suffer again this time.

Sure enough, before Shi Jin could even take a step, Fu Xiuyuan reached out, gripped her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.

If Shi Jin hadn't been prepared, she would have likely bumped into him and felt a sharp pain.

"You're married, so you know that counts as cheating, right?" Fu Xiuyuan’s voice was of that very mellow and pleasant kind.

But when he was angry, it was like a lion, with every word striking the eardrums, thrilling and terrifying.

Shi Jin raised her smiling eyes and looked at him earnestly: "That's right, so I will never betray our marriage! And I won't go looking for a mistress either!"

Clearly, Fu Xiuyuan was very receptive to these words; the depths of his eyes brightened instantly.

However, it wasn't enough to fully convince him, and they dimmed again immediately after.

Shi Jin sighed inwardly. After all, she had been too difficult before; it was understandable that he didn't believe her.

She continued, "Fu Xiuyuan, since we are married, we will spend our whole lives together. I know it’s hard for you to believe anything I say right now, but I will prove it to you! Right now, I’m just going out for normal work."

Fu Xiuyuan kept his hand on her, not letting go.

"Hubby, I also want to rely on my own abilities to stand by your side." Shi Jin looked into his eyes and said, word by word, earnestly.

The word "Hubby" rippled like water, freezing Fu Xiuyuan in place, to the point that he didn't even hear the words she said afterward.

He loosened his grip and let Shi Jin go directly.

Shi Jin understood; this meant she could leave.

She probably guessed that the magic of the word "Hubby" was just too great.

If she had known that changing how she addressed him would achieve her wish, she wouldn't have needed to make all those promises and guarantees just now.

She turned to Deng Yufei and said, "Feifei, let’s go!"

Deng Yufei was very surprised.

Just now, she had only seen Shi Jin being grabbed by Fu Xiuyuan, but she hadn't heard the conversation between them.
