"If I don't hide, will my brother come?"

Because she was suddenly awakened, Su Miao's eyes were misty, making her look beautiful, charming, and captivating.

She boldly met his deep, silent gaze, her hand gently touching the belt around his waist—a blatant invitation.

"Isn't this exactly what you've always wanted?"

Looking at Su Miao in his arms, Shen Changji felt a fire burning inside him, his whole body burning hot. He tried to adjust his inner energy and calm the restlessness within him.

"yes."

Su Miao raised her eyebrows slightly, her soft, cool hands wandering restlessly across his exposed chest.

He closed his eyes in a long silence.

I was thinking...

I also want to be my brother's legal wife.

Seeing Shen Changji's pained and restrained expression, Su Miao smiled and spoke softly, word by word.

The room was quiet; they could hear each other breathing.

But the more this happens, the more unbearably hot and irritating the long silence becomes.

"You've certainly got quite the nerve."

Knowing he was engaged, she still had the audacity to say those words.

"Of course, brother, you're my first man."

Su Miao looked at him with eyes full of affection.

Shen Changji listened to these words, his dark eyes fixed on her intently.

Those lips, opening and closing, glistened with a moist sheen, like tempting cherries...

Because she was in a hurry to get here, Su Miao was only wearing a thin dress under her cloak.

The dim light outlined her hazy, graceful figure, appearing and disappearing, alluring and captivating.

As long as he reaches down and pulls...

Then you can see the beauty that can't be contained in the palm of your hand...

"elder brother."

Seeing the passion in Shen Changji's eyes, Su Miao leaned closer...

She gently kissed his long, thin lips, her eyes filled with a dreamy look, and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Su Miao." His voice was extremely low and hoarse.

"elder brother."

The two words "Jiaojiao" kept striking his heart.

His hand couldn't help but trace her waistline upwards. He was even somewhat dissatisfied with the current light kiss and wanted to savor her beauty more deeply...

Su Miao could feel Shen Changji's other hand stroking elsewhere.

"Brother, can I help you?"

Su Miao pressed her lips against his thin lips, seemingly stroking them as she spoke.

Looking at her bright and beautiful appearance, a deep and passionate emotion welled up in his eyes, but he did not speak.

The next second, Su Miao's actions confirmed his suspicions.

She grabbed the water next to her and poured it directly over Shen Changji's head.

One lamp wasn't enough, so she used three.

She moved swiftly and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

The sudden chill jolted him awake, and water droplets slid down his body, wetting his clothes and revealing his muscular physique.

"Is this what my brother wants?"

Su Miao shook the empty kettle in her hand, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

He remained silent, staring at the empty pot in her hand.

Su Miao quickly got up from Chen Changji's embrace, and then smelled the empty bowl where he had drunk his medicine.

She knew what was going on as soon as she smelled it.

"I'm going to prepare medicine for my brother. Don't worry, brother, I don't like taking advantage of others in their time of need." Su Miao turned back and smiled at him before leaving with her things.

Lone Eagle was somewhat surprised to see Su Miao come out so quickly.

"Could you please get me some medicine and then take it to the kitchen?" Su Miao instructed.

"Alright, Miss, please give your instructions."

Lone Eagle quickly summoned someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Su Miao wrote down what she needed in a long and elegant manner, and then led Tao'er towards the quiet and secluded kitchen.

Because it was his personal kitchen, the small kitchen was very clean.

"Miss, I thought you and the eldest young master..."

"I won't."

Because she knew that Shen Changji would restrain himself extremely well, and even if he was in unbearable pain, this was not the solution he wanted.

If she were to actually get close to him tonight, it would only make things worse.

Her abilities extend beyond just the bedroom; she'll gradually reveal her unique qualities, slowly... making him curious about her! This way, she can better ignite his interest in her!

He's cunning and calculating, so she'll act in his way!

It shattered his original perception of himself.

Lone Eagle was very efficient and brought her what she wanted in no time.

Su Miao pulled up her cloak and then began to prepare medicine for Shen Changji.

"In that case... then I'll go check on Master first." Lone Eagle said somewhat embarrassedly to Su Miao.

After all, he had just...

"Go ahead," Su Miao said, not stopping her.

When Lone Eagle returned to his room, Shen Changji had already taken a bath.

He was already at the age of youthful vigor and his temper was flaring up; that medicine only made him even more agitated!

"Master, Miss is preparing your medicine."

"I understand." He rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired.

“I think Miss Biao is a nice person, not someone who is cunning or scheming,” said Lone Eagle.

If she were truly shrewd, she probably wouldn't have let such a good opportunity slip by tonight.

“She is indeed very intelligent,” Chen Changji said in a deep voice.

"I still think... that the reason Miss Liu acted that night was because she wanted to find a backer for herself. If Master thinks Miss Liu is suitable, perhaps we should wait until Miss Liu marries into the family..."

Before Lone Eagle could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Silence.

"We'll see."

Those two simple words silenced Lone Eagle instantly.

"Do you think she's capable of taking on such a great responsibility?" Shen Changji asked again, sitting in the main seat.

Lone Eagle thought for a moment, finding it difficult to answer.

Because of this statement, he sensed that his master still intended to marry off his cousin to someone else.

Judging from the master's temperament, the person he finds for his cousin won't be bad; at the very least, the cousin will become the mistress of the household.

After all, the people who come from the Duke's mansion can't be too bad.

Deep down, he felt that his cousin was capable of taking on great responsibilities, but he dared not say so, lest she marry someone else.

But if we don't say anything, it seems like we're burying our talent.

Shen Changji glanced at Lone Eagle, then said, "I won't make things difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, Lone Eagle breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll go and see how Miss Biao is preparing the medicine!" he said, and hurriedly left.

When Lone Eagle arrived, Su Miao was just carrying the prepared herbal medicine.

"Since you're here, I'll trouble you to take this to my brother. Also, these four doses of medicine are what I prepared. Take them twice a day, and my brother should feel better in three days." Su Miao glanced at Tao'er and gestured for her to give them to Guying.

"Thank you so much, Miss!"

"No need, but I'll trouble my servant to send someone to escort me out through the secret passage."

"Aren't you going to check on your master, Miss?"

"No, perhaps he doesn't want to see me either..." Su Miao's lips curled into a bitter smile.

Her words were overheard by Chen Changji, who was standing around the corner.

He looked at Su Miao, his heart filled with turmoil.
