Chapter 130

But he can't let go.

"Okay, I'll move out and I promise I won't bother you."

As he spoke, he was kneeling in front of her, his long, slender fingers, calloused from time to time, brushing against the soles of her feet, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.

Wen Shu tried to pull her feet back, but they were held down by the man and she couldn't move.

From her perspective, she could see the young man's lowered and serious eyes, his long, dark eyelashes drooping, and she couldn't quite figure out his emotions.

To be precise, she is now increasingly unable to see what Pei Lingjun is trying to do.

In her past life, her heart was entirely devoted to him; she thought of him and longed for him all the time. He didn't like her, but now that she says she wants to part ways, it makes him realize how good she is.

Wen Shu couldn't help but curl her lips into a self-deprecating smile. What a huge joke!

Why should her sincerity be trampled on so wantonly? What does a woman's sincerity mean to him?

In his past life, he chose to deceive and exploit his childhood sweetheart, Princess Sui'an. Now, he turns around and abandons Princess Sui'an's affection. His sincerity is truly cheap!

Wen Shu's eyes reddened with anger. She was angry at herself for being so blind to good character and falling in love with such a man.

"Get out! Get as far away as possible, Pei Lingjun. In my past life, I was the one who entangled you, but I repaid you with my life. I don't owe you anything."

The woman's toes touched his shoulder, her face full of shame and indignation.

The burning sensation on the skin was intensely and prolongedly immersed in cold water, resulting in a numbing and tingling sensation from the alternating hot and cold temperatures.

Seeing that he wasn't leaving, Wen Shu pretended to put on her shoes and socks, but her hand holding the white socks was grabbed. She lowered her head and her eyelashes, and heard the man say, "Don't move, I'm leaving."

Wen Shu finally caught her breath after the door opened and closed again, staring at it in a daze.

As Pei Lingjun said, he immediately took Cui Pei to find an inn outside, and the people moved out, leaving the courtyard deserted.

Zhuang Yan and Han Xiang moved in.

Even after receiving the indenture, Hanxiang didn't want to leave. She was determined to follow Wenshu. Knowing that Wenshu had set up a pharmacy and needed someone to manage it, she volunteered to help out and naturally stayed.

Zhuang Yan told the Zhuang family that she was visiting relatives and would be staying in Shanzhou for a while.

The pharmacy has been open for some time now. Because of its location next to Renxin Medical Hall, the medicines are of high quality and reasonably priced, and the daily profits are enough to cover the expenses of the three of them.

When the first snow of winter fell, Wen Shu was sitting behind the table in the pharmacy, checking the accounts, her abacus clicking away.

Back in Anyang, her mother entrusted her with managing her own medicine shop. She was very familiar with the accounts of some medicinal herbs, and soon she closed the ledger, planning to buy more herbs next time to save on travel expenses.

Lost in thought, Wen Shu didn't notice Zhuang Yan walking in, looking preoccupied, and sitting silently in the armchair.

She glanced up and knew that she was preoccupied. She looked at Hanxiang and saw her mouth open wide, silently mouthing three words: "Wishing you my beloved."

Zhu Zijin?

Wen Shu realized that Zhuang Yan had fallen for that boy.

"It's getting cold, and it snowed again today. In a few days, the roads will be closed. Have you decided when you're going back to Anyang?"
