Su Miao was slightly stunned, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Does "want her to be obedient" mean "want her to be extremely obedient"?

Should she obediently stay here and wait to become his mistress? Or should she wait until he gets married and then take her into his household?

Either way, Su Miao was not in a good mood.

"So... how's the progress so far?"

She concealed the emotions in her eyes and asked softly.

She was still somewhat curious.

Shen Changji looked at Su Miao with her eyes lowered and her obedient appearance, and couldn't help but soften his heart.

He gently took her hand, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he still managed to remain calm and whispered, "These past few days, have you... have you felt anything different?"

"What does it feel like?" Su Miao asked, somewhat puzzled.

Those bright, watery eyes held a hint of doubt, yet also a touch of sincerity.

Shen Changji coughed lightly, looked away, and then probed again, "It's... a different feeling."

After all, he hadn't come to see her for the past few days. Could it be... that she didn't miss him at all?

Of course, General Shen, being a tough man, simply couldn't bring himself to say the word "want".

Because he felt a little cloying...

Su Miao hadn't expected Shen Changji to be so displeased, and she couldn't help but frown.

"How can I feel when you're not here?"

How do you want me to feel?

Su Miao threw two sentences at her directly and immediately turned her face away.

I really don't understand...

It's only been a few days since I left, but it feels like I've been possessed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changji's eyes lit up, and he reached out to pull Su Miao back.

"When I'm here, do you feel it? Then I'll..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Miao covered her mouth with her hand.

She blushed and glared at Chen Changji.

"Are you ever going to stop?!"

This is getting more and more outrageous!

"good."

Shen Changji grasped Su Miao's hand again, holding it tightly in his palm.

Su Miao looked up and met his unfathomable black eyes, where she saw a faintly burning desire.

"Didn't you want to talk to me about the progress? Don't forget, we're working together..."

The word "cooperation" poured cold water on Shen Changji's life.

He wanted to ask her if she had even the slightest feeling for him, or if she had ever thought about him!

Who knew... she was only thinking about their collaboration!

He's usually the one who's indifferent to others, but now it's Su Miao who's indifferent to him.

For some reason, he began to miss the old days.

At least her sparkling eyes would be filled with adoration when she looked at him.

And right now...

She doesn't like him.

dislike……

All the things she said before were lies; her only goal was revenge.

She went to such lengths for Pei Yu…

She approached him because of his engagement to Liu Jiaojiao.

What if he isn't?

He was the one who lost miserably.

He let out a long, cold sigh, and a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

He had never lost on the battlefield, and right now... he wouldn't let himself lose.

He couldn't believe that Su Miao had absolutely no feelings for him!

Chen Changji took a deep breath and softened his tone considerably, "It'll be soon. Just wait a little longer, and I'll uproot her completely."

If you don't trust me, you can ask Mo Lin; he's following up on it too.

Shen Changji's sudden change in tone left Su Miao even more confused.

She thought he would be angry if she said that.

After all, someone like Shen Changji...

Su Miao thought about what Master Shen had said today, and when she heard Shen Changji's words, she softly replied, "Okay."

"Don't make any rash moves. Just stay here. That way, I'll feel more at ease and be able to investigate more quickly."

He gently stroked her small wrist, rubbing it lightly.

"Um."

"Do not see Xie Qin either."

"Why?"

"This makes me feel more at ease."

Su Miao: "..."

She quickly pulled her hand back, saying, "It's late, and I'm a little tired."

Shen Changji pulled her into his arms. "You haven't agreed to my request yet, and I'm uneasy."

Upon hearing Shen Changji's words, Su Miao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Okay, I agree. As long as you promise to investigate properly, I'll agree to anything."

A long silence followed: "..."

She knows how to annoy him.

He stared at her, his dark eyes unfathomable.

"It's late, time to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Changji interrupted her.

"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? I won't be in the capital for the next few days."

The implication was that once he left, they wouldn't see him for several days.

The bitterness that Su Miao had managed to suppress welled up again in an instant.

She quickly looked at the candlelight burning not far away, trying to use the bright light to force herself not to let the tears in the corners of her eyes fall.

"So what do you want?"

"I'll stay here tonight."

"good."

Su Miao agreed quickly, but Shen Changji felt a little uneasy.

She's great in every way; she'll readily agree to anything related to Pei Yu.

Because of him, she could tolerate everything, except trying to like him...

That's all...

Chen Changji took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "If you're tired, go to sleep first. I'm going to take a shower. Don't wait for me."

"Um."

Before taking a bath, he hugged her briefly before leaving.

The more this happened, the more bitter Su Miao felt in her heart. She bit her lip tightly, and tears streamed down her face without her realizing it.
