Chapter 527 Marriage (4)

But she was, after all, a little girl, just like her nickname, Shen Jiaojiao. She should have been raised in pampered surroundings, but she was forced to grow up. Just because she had never shown signs of vulnerability didn't mean she wasn't vulnerable. For example, when she woke up from a nightmare just now, the despair in her eyes was enough to shock everyone.

She clutched his collar, her whole body trembling, as if she had experienced something terrifying, but in an instant, she regained her usual dignified appearance. Like a wounded beast, she had to constantly demonstrate her strength, because if the enemy discovered her wound, she would be killed without mercy.

Xie Jingxing was confused. He was not a kind person, and he was also ruthless and ruthless, but every time he faced Shen Miao, he would always leave her a little room. From the first time he met Shen Miao, his attitude had always been one of giving in. He was giving in to her.

But I don't know why.

It was as if he had deliberately said the rain hadn't stopped just so he could watch her fall asleep. She was clearly terrified, yet she was trying to act tough, so he could only pretend not to know.

The rain stopped, he tucked the cup into Shen Miao's arms, lowered the gauze curtain, and left the room.

On the bed, Shen Miao's eyelashes moved slightly, but she did not open her eyes.

The house separated from the Shen residence by a wall has now been purchased by Prince Rui. Xie Jingxing walked out, and Tieyi and Nanqi, who were waiting outside, hurried to follow.

"The invitation from the palace has been accepted again." Xie Jingxing said.

Tieyi was stunned: "Didn't the master say he wouldn't go?"

"Changed my mind." Xie Jingxing glanced at him.

Tieyi quickly agreed, but suspicion lingered in his heart. The invitation had been sent by several princes in the palace, including the princes of Mingqi and the crown prince of Daqin. Xie Jingxing didn't want to get involved and had simply rejected it. Why did he suddenly think of it now? Tieyi glanced cautiously at his master again, only to notice that Xie Jingxing's brows were cold, and he felt even more puzzled.

Xie Jingxing's eyes turned slightly cold.

In Shen Miao's dream, she actually not only called out Luo Xueyan's name, but also Prince Ding Fu Xiuyi's name.

Never like Fu Xiuyi again... A mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips. Like?

Liked is always a word that makes people feel annoyed.

…

The winter thunder in Dingjing City brought a sharp drop in temperature the next day. It was as if deep winter had arrived overnight. People were discussing the heavy rain the previous night, all of which seemed a bit abrupt.

"I didn't expect the rain to come so suddenly that I forgot about the flowers and plants in the yard. When Huayi remembered them, several pots were broken. I usually take good care of those flowers. It's a pity that they are wasted now." Chen Ruoqiu talked about the heavy rain last night while tidying up Shen Wan's clothes.

Chen Ruoqiu has always been particular about elegance, even the flowers and plants she picks are rare species. Shen Wan listened absentmindedly, but his eyes did not look at Chen Ruoqiu.

Chen Ruoqiu noticed Shen Wan's look and asked with a smile, "Master, is there anything on your mind?"

Shen Wan came back to his senses, looked at Chen Ruoqiu and said, “I think Yue’er is now at the age to get married.”

Chen Ruoqiu's heart skipped a beat, but he smiled and said, "I know. I've been looking for a suitable family for Yue'er. But we have to take our time to choose a suitable family. We can't just marry Yue'er off blindly. You'll feel bad for her, Master."

"We've been searching for such a long time." This time, Shen Wan didn't let Chen Ruoqiu brush it off. He said with a stern face, "It's been two years since Yue'er was sixteen. Even the girls from other families who haven't married yet have already been engaged. If Yue'er keeps dragging it out like this, it will be difficult for her to find a suitable family in the future. The families I mentioned to you a few days ago are all good. I've seen them, and they're a good match. There aren't too many troubles in the mansion, so Yue'er won't suffer any loss if she marries into one of them."
