The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 170: Excessively Cute

"Where is this?"

"My room."

Lin Fu suddenly thought of something, hurriedly opened her Light Computer, and saw that the time displayed on her personal terminal was five days later.

She had been unconscious for so long.

Lin Fu stealthily glanced at Fu Xing and noticed that he had already closed his eyes as if he were about to sleep, his handsome and deep brows and eyes filled with an inexhaustible weariness.

Could he have been watching over her for so long?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible.

Lin Fu immediately dismissed the notion in her mind - how could someone be so foolish, to do such a stupid thing?

Especially someone like Fu Xing, who had calm and rationality etched into his very bones, a military man, a noble.

Even less likely.

But for some reason, even though she had dismissed the absurd conjecture in her heart, she felt a sweet sensation.

Perhaps this was what the ancients referred to as secret delight!

Truly pitifully stupid.

"Right, what about that captain from the Military Court? He wanted to kill me." Mentioning the events before her unconsciousness, Lin Fu’s pretty brows tinged with a touch of annoyance, "Aside from offending Princess Therese and that Lady Nora, I haven’t provoked anyone else, have I? Why would he do that?"

Fu Xing suddenly opened his eyes, his dark green pupils exceptionally gentle under the soft light.

He rested his left hand against his cheek, watching Lin Fu with amusement, "Are you sure you haven’t offended anyone else? As far as I know, you’ve been at the school for less than a month, and the number of people you’ve offended has already exceeded one hand’s count. Including that time you were drawn into the Big Escape Killing in the rainforest, you were set up."

"..." Lin Fu gave him a complaining glare, unaware that her coy little expression was not only void of any deterrent power but also excessively adorable.

"Don’t be so harsh; all I did was offend a few classmates, didn’t I? They all paid the price they deserved. And they certainly don’t have the capability to plant a nail right under your eyelids."

"Not too dumb, then."

"And there you go, saying it too," Lin Fu mimicked Fu Xing by resting her right hand against her cheek and confrontationally faced him, "That malevolent Princess Therese wants to kill me, all because of you, isn’t it? I’m the real innocent one here. She resents me only because she thinks I stole you away from her."

An unintentional "stole you away" unexpectedly pleased the man.

Fu Xing’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, but his face still showed a disdainful aloofness, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. Who asked you to be my lady? Since you are my woman, these little troubles are inevitably inescapable."

"Fine! You’re right."

Lin Fu was someone who dealt in realities, not one to quibble and fuss needlessly.

She had actually realized this long ago and never intended to reap the benefits without shouldering the responsibilities.

So, when she faced David’s assassination attempt for the first time, she sensed the problem but never blamed Fu Xing in her heart, not even a word of complaint in front of him.

Just now... she felt he was too good to her, inadvertently becoming sentimental.

Fu Xing was momentarily stunned by her obedient nature, which softened the hardness in his heart that had long been there.

Ah, never mind.

Fu Xing sighed silently.

Who to blame for her being excessively cute?

It always made him uncontrollably want to indulge and pamper her.

Even cleaning up her messes felt pleasing to him.

"Why kill that lady-in-waiting?"

Fu Xing’s voice suddenly turned serious, causing Lin Fu to pull back her joking demeanor a bit.

She lowered her eyelids, the butterfly-like lashes casting small shadows in the eye sockets, "I can’t forget the look in David’s eyes before he died; every time I think about it, I feel so sad. Since she made me feel sad, I couldn’t let her off easily."
