He held her up, a smile playing in his dark eyes.

When Su Miao looked up at Shen Changji, her heart pounded inexplicably.

Shen Changji simply smiled as he looked at her, the curve of his lips in the dim light carrying an ambiguous meaning.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious.

Su Miao couldn't help but follow his lead and ask curiously, "What did you say?"

"Want to know?"

"Of course I want to."

"It depends on your sincerity."

Shen Changji pressed down on her waist, his dry palms moving downwards along her waistline.

Su Miao admitted that Shen Changji was very good at piquing curiosity, especially in the current situation, which really aroused her strong curiosity!

That scoundrel! Even when he gets hurt, he never suffers a loss!

Su Miao thought for a moment, then moved closer to Shen Changji.

Soft fingers wrapped around her through the fabric of her robe, and her long, silent shoulders stiffened as if they were on fire.

Su Miao met those deep, dark eyes, and something was surging within them. She was all too familiar with that kind of emotion.

He swallowed hard, his eyes lowered as he watched Su Miao's actions. The places her hand touched felt tingly and numb, igniting a flame within him.

Just as she was about to climb onto his shoulder and kiss his lips, Chen Changji turned his head away.

Su Miao was somewhat surprised by this action.

His large hand quickly moved to her lower abdomen, and he whispered in her ear, "In your heart, is this the kind of person I am? Let's have breakfast first and fill our stomachs before we talk."

He hadn't intended to do anything to her; he just wanted to have breakfast with her.

After all, she hadn't woken up before he left, and he assumed she would have already eaten when he returned.

Who knows... not yet.

What a worrying little girl.

Su Miao was very frank, "But after eating breakfast... I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Where does it hurt? Tell me in detail."

Upon hearing this, Su Miao blushed instantly and pushed Shen Changji away.

"You're so annoying!"

Who needs to go into details! This man is utterly shameless!

Seeing her like this, Shen Changji couldn't help but smile.

He reached out and placed Su Miao's favorite meat dumpling in front of her, "Try it."

Su Miao didn't refuse, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and then took a piece of it.

The piping hot broth quickly overflowed, making it incredibly delicious.

Perhaps it was because she ate this hot food right after waking up that Su Miao's mood wasn't as depressed and upset as before.

"You eat too."

Su Miao scooped a bowl of porridge for Shen Changji.

Shen Changji glanced at her, and only after confirming that she was no longer as downcast as before did he take a bite of the porridge.

"Is it tasty?"

Seeing that Su Miao had eaten three dumplings in a row, Shen Changji couldn't help but order another basket to be brought out.

"It's delicious!"

Su Miao's mouth was stuffed full, making her look like a little hamster.

She often looks very well-behaved in this state, making people want to cherish her.

"Really? Don't lie to me."

When have I ever lied to you?

She turned her head to look at Chen Changji, chewing on what was in her mouth, and muttered something.

Shen Changji looked at her, his throat felt hot, and some beautiful images from the past flashed through his mind.

But when Su Miao said those words, her hand holding the spoon paused slightly.

She blurted it out...

But when she met Shen Changji's dark eyes, she smiled slightly, trying to hide her unease.

"good."

He chuckled softly, reached out and ruffled her hair, his face revealing no further emotion.

Su Miao swallowed the dumpling in her mouth, her heart already in turmoil.

A long silence followed... It felt like he had become a different person.

She became... a little unpredictable.

As Su Miao turned her face away and lowered her eyes, she saw two Buddhist prayer beads wrapped around Shen Changji's wrist. The bulging blue veins on the beads complemented each other, creating a unique and unconventional beauty.

She thought Shen Changji was going to do something, but who knew... he just wanted to have breakfast with her.

Just as she was about to ask about Old Madam Shen again, Lone Eagle's report came from outside the door.

"Master, the Second Young Master is waiting outside."

Shen Changji looked down at Su Miao and said unhurriedly, "Do you want to stay here or go out for a walk?"

"I'll go for a walk; I just finished eating," Su Miao said.

After saying that, Shen Changji let go and put her down.

However, when Su Miao walked out, she could feel that Shen Xing's gaze towards her was somewhat strange.

Perhaps it's because of the long silence...

When Tao'er saw Su Miao, she immediately came out to greet her.

"Miss, the weather is lovely today, would you like to go for a walk?"

Go!

With that thought in mind, Su Miao took Tao'er and left the Duke's mansion.

In the past few days, there has been much talk about Shen Changji's injury, and in addition, there is also the matter of her identity.

Although Su Miao was wearing a veil, and many people did not recognize her, they could still hear discussions about how she had entered the Duke's mansion with a false identity.

"Liu Jiaojiao really couldn't hold back any longer," Su Miaoping said.

After all, not many people knew that she had forged her identity to enter the Duke's mansion.

Liu Jiaojiao probably wanted to throw caution to the wind and get the Duke's mansion to kick her out as well, since her husband, who was almost in her grasp, had suddenly run away.

Tao'er: "That's right. If she hadn't lost her temper, how could the eldest young master have broken off the engagement?"

Su Miao: "Simply annuling the engagement isn't enough."

Even after the engagement was called off, Liu Jiaojiao was still able to live a carefree life.

On what grounds?

The case behind Liu Jiaojiao is far too complex; Mo Lin spent almost half a month trying to find out more.
