Chapter 471 The No.1 Scholar’s ​​Dark Moonlight Ex-wife 39

After two years of hard work, the Canglan Dam was finally completed amid cheers.

This magnificent dam stands on the wide river like a giant dragon, locking the rushing water and ensuring that Canglan County will never again suffer from floods.

During these two years, Shen Xinran always followed Han Ziwen and tried to seduce him in various ways.

Han Ziwen always remained unmoved, and even if he occasionally showed some fluctuations, they would be quickly concealed by his calm appearance.

The people of Canglan County all knew that the richest family, Ji, had a concubine named Guo, who was so infatuated with Governor Han that she pestered him every day.

Only Governor Han was kindhearted and unwilling to argue with her. If it were anyone else, they would have been driven away long ago.

When Han Ziwen submitted his work report to the court, Emperor Zhao Xianggui was very pleased and immediately ordered Han Ziwen to return to Beijing.

Shen Xinran knew that with Han Ziwen's return to Beijing, her story was drawing to a close. She was only one scene away from completing her mission.

The afternoon sun shines into the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard through the delicate wooden lattice windows, giving everything in the study a warm golden hue.

Shen Xinran, carrying a food box, knocked on the door gently, and without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and walked in. "Brother Ziwen, the kitchen just made osmanthus cake, I brought you a portion."

Han Ziwen sat at the desk, writing without stopping, "Put it there."

Shen Xinran gently placed the osmanthus cake on the table, then asked Han Ziwen, "Brother Ziwen, they all said you were going back to Beijing, is that true?"

Han Ziwen nodded and simply said "hmm" as a response.

Shen Xinran was delighted, but in order to avoid making her expression too obvious, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be lost: "Then what should I do?"

Han Ziwen finally raised his head from the documents. His gaze lingered on Shen Xinran's face for a moment, then he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Shen Xinran gently pulled Han Ziwen's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "Please take me with you, okay?"

Han Ziwen saw Shen Xinran like this, and felt that the anger in his heart had finally been vented. He said with a cold face: "No."

Chen Xinran lowered her eyes sadly, "I know I'm no longer worthy of you. I just hope you can find the person to accompany you for the rest of your life."

Han Ziwen's thin lips curled up slightly, "At least you have some self-awareness."

Tears welled up in Chen Xinran's eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll leave first. We'll part ways now. I'll be here with Canglan, praying for you."

After saying that, she covered her mouth and trotted away.

To outsiders, she seemed abandoned by the governor and wept alone, but only she knew how happy she was now.

Han Ziwen looked at Shen Xinran's leaving back, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

This was the first time that Shen Xinran was so close to completing a mission, so she slept particularly soundly at night.

In her dream, she was lying on a rocking chair on the beach, surrounded by handsome guys. They either offered her cool drinks, gently fanned her, or presented her with sweet fruits.

This was the perfect vacation Shen Xinran had always dreamed of. The corners of her mouth widened uncontrollably and she laughed “Hahahaha”.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard the clear sound of turning pages. Shen Xinran felt something was wrong. Why would someone be reading on the beach? She slowly opened her eyes.

Then she found herself lying in a carriage, Han Ziwen sitting opposite her, and the sound of turning pages came from his hands.

After Han Ziwen found that Shen Xinran had woken up, he glanced at her and ordered in a calm tone: "Pour me a cup of tea."

Shen Xinran subconsciously picked up the teapot, poured tea, and handed the teacup to Han Ziwen. The whole action was done in one go without any hesitation. This was the hand speed she had practiced for two years.

Han Ziwen handed over the teacup with a calm expression. He read a book while drinking tea, his movements natural and elegant.

Shen Xinran finally came to her senses. She questioned Han Ziwen, "I was sleeping in my room, why am I here?"

Han Ziwen put down his teacup and said lightly, "Didn't you say you wanted to go with me?"

Shen Xinran widened his eyes and raised his voice, "But didn't you refuse?"

Han Ziwen smiled faintly and said, "After much thought, I felt that it was indeed too dangerous for you to be alone in Canglan. So I brought you along. Who can blame me for always being so soft-hearted?"

Shen Xinran gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "Then why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Han Ziwen smiled and said, "Because I want to give you a surprise."

Shen Xinran took a deep breath and secretly complained in his heart: Damn it, this is not a surprise, this is clearly a shock!

The carriage drove out of the city gate slowly and smoothly. Chen Xinran looked out the window, watching the outline of the provincial capital gradually blur until it disappeared at the end of his sight.

As the midday sun bathed the earth, the carriage finally stopped at a lush meadow, surrounded by a gentle river bend and a tranquil and peaceful natural landscape.

The servants quickly and orderly lit a fire and cooked, and Han Ziwen also got off the carriage to stretch his body.

Shen Xinran looked at Han Ziwen not far away, her heart filled with unwillingness. You know, this was the closest she had ever been to succeeding in the mission, but it was all ruined by him.

No, she can't just sit there and wait for death!

Shen Xinran walked to Han Ziwen's side and whispered, "I want to go to the toilet."

Han Ziwen just glanced at her indifferently, then nodded and said calmly, "Okay, go ahead."

Just as Shen Xinran was wondering why Han Ziwen was so straightforward, Han Ziwen stood up and put something around her neck.

Shen Xinran looked down and found that it was a piece of talisman paper, and it was a real talisman paper. She didn't know where Han Ziwen got it from.

With the experience of the previous two small worlds, she recognized it at a glance. It was a talisman of loyal servant.

When Taoist priests try to subdue monsters, they always face a thorny problem: how to ensure that these cunning creatures do not take the opportunity to escape.

In order to solve this problem, Taoists created the loyal servant talisman.

This kind of talisman comes in two copies, the Taoist wears the main talisman, and the monster wears the secondary talisman.

Any monster wearing this talisman will be bound by the contract and cannot leave the range of one hundred meters from its owner.

This is somewhat similar to "One Line Tie", but One Line Tie determines who is the leader based on the strength of their abilities, while the Loyal Servant Talisman fixes the party wearing the main talisman as the master.

Shen Xinran glanced at Han Ziwen, wanting to say something but stopping herself. This man really thought she was a stone monster.

However, this misunderstanding played into Shen Xinran's hands. As she walked towards the bushes, she turned back and said to Han Ziwen, "I'm going to the bathroom for a long time, so don't peek!"

Han Ziwen chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not that mean."
