Liu Jiaojiao tried her best not to lose her composure and forced a smile, saying, "Chen Lang, did I do something wrong? I'll change, okay..."

Don't treat me like this. I'm completely yours, body and soul, why do you want to break off the engagement?

The news came so suddenly that she could hardly process it.

Shen Changji put down what he was holding and looked up at Liu Jiaojiao.

"It is precisely because of the long-standing friendship between our two families that I asked you to propose breaking off the engagement."

His deep, quiet voice was unhurried yet exuded authority.

"I don't want to! I've waited for you for so long, why should I break off the engagement!"

Besides... I'm already yours, so how am I supposed to get married if things continue like this?!

Who wants me?!

Liu Jiaojiao threw a tantrum and smashed the item, her face contorted in a grimace.

"A wise man submits to circumstances, Jiaojiao. Let's not make things too ugly between us."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao chuckled dismissively.

Tears welled in her eyes, and she staggered back several steps.

Is this the respect he's given?

She doesn't want to!

She had finally waited for Shen Changji to return, and there were only half a month left until their wedding. But at this moment, he proposed to break off the engagement!

Her Liu family wasn't a particularly wealthy or powerful family. It was only because of the glory of the Duke's mansion that she was admired by those noble ladies.

Now... she's going to become a joke!

The emotional letdown was unbearable for Liu Jiaojiao.

Most importantly, Shen Changji was one of her bargaining chips, and now... she's about to lose all of it, how could she not be upset?

Liu Jiaojiao stepped forward without hesitation, wanting to grasp Shen Changji's hand, but he shook her off.

Shen Changji's expression was icy, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of danger.

Liu Jiaojiao saw that Shen Changji no longer had any of the tenderness he had shown her a few days ago!

"Chen Lang... I know I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Please don't leave me! If you don't want me, who will?"

You're my favorite person, and I don't want us to be strangers.

Faced with Shen Changji's cold gaze, Liu Jiaojiao completely lost her confidence.

She couldn't help but think of Su Miao.

"Chen Lang, don't you like Sister Su?"

As long as you marry me, I won't mind if she becomes a concubine! My love, I only beg you not to abandon me!

"I promise I'll take good care of your home and never be jealous. I just hope our marriage can continue!" Liu Jiaojiao pleaded in a low voice.

"Don't waste your energy on me."

Shen Changji directly issued an order to leave.

Liu Jiaojiao's heart sank to the bottom. She couldn't believe that Shen Changji wouldn't even give her the slightest bit of face.

"Shen Lang...you touched me! If you don't want me anymore, how can I face anyone!"

Liu Jiaojiao asked in a trembling voice.

She's not bad-looking; normally, a man's heart would soften halfway if he saw the lines on her face.

But he remained silent... He was no ordinary man.

Even if she cries until her tears run dry, he probably won't change his mind.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changji lowered his deep eyes to look at her.

Did you feel anything that night we were together?

Liu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment.

What's the meaning……

That night... she really didn't feel anything.

But what does "silent and still" mean?

"It's right that you don't feel anything, because I don't feel anything either."

Upon hearing the long, silent words, Liu Jiaojiao's pupils widened, and she instantly collapsed to the ground.

"No... I did, it was you who touched me!"

She panicked instantly.

He remained calm and composed, his expression undisturbed.

He glanced at the hourglass beside him; it was this time... Su Miao was about to come and deliver the medicine.

He said in a deep, silent voice, "Lone Eagle, see the guest out."

He didn't want to keep going back to Liu Jiaojiao; it was pointless.

Lone Eagle immediately led two old women in.

"Miss Liu, let's go..."

"No! I won't leave! Shen Lang... I love you!"

Why... why!

Is she really inferior to Su Miao?

Liu Jiaojiao smiled sadly, her eyes flashing with resentment.

"Don't make me say anything too harsh."

If Liu Taipu doesn't come to annul the engagement in three days, don't blame me for disregarding our relationship.

After Shen Changji finished speaking, he glanced at her coolly.

He waved his hand, signaling Lone Eagle to take the person away.

Even though Liu Jiaojiao was unwilling to leave, the strength of the two old women was extraordinary. With a strong pull, they dragged her out.

“Miss Liu, don’t blame me for not reminding you, but you are the eldest daughter of Master Liu. If this gets out, it won’t do you any good,” Lone Eagle said leisurely.

Liu Jiaojiao was already annoyed, and hearing Guying say that, she became even more disdainful, saying, "You're nothing but a dog by Shen Lang's side! What right do you have to bark at me? You're not worthy!"

Everyone says that Miss Liu is dignified, generous, gentle and kind.

"It all seems to be an act now," Lone Eagle said meaningfully.

Especially the words "gentle and kind," which Lone Eagle emphasized a little.

Liu Jiaojiao gave a cold snort.

In her eyes, Lone Eagle was just a servant who had followed Shen Changji.

She hasn't fallen so low that anyone, even a Tom, Dick, or Harry, can laugh at her!

Lone Eagle knew that Liu Jiaojiao wouldn't understand or listen, so he didn't continue.

Just then, Su Miao brought over the decocted medicine.

She didn't want to take care of Shen Changji, but because of what Old Madam Shen said, she could only pretend to take care of him and bring the medicine she had prepared to Shen Changji.

Xie Qin wanted to go with her, but Old Madam Shen kept him behind, saying she had something to tell him.
