Su Miao hadn't expected Shen Changji to appear here.

She had originally intended to choose a suitable sword according to Shen Changji's suggestion, but unexpectedly, Liu Jiaojiao suddenly appeared.

But she was curious about what Liu Jiaojiao and Shen Changji would say to each other, so she went into the room and planned to press her ear against the door to listen.

Who knew... both of them came in.

A playful glint flashed in Su Miao's eyes.

That's really interesting!

The table and chair at the head of the table were not far apart. Su Miao leaned forward slightly, and the heat from her clothes directly reached Shen Changji.

The table was very large, and Su Miao's petite figure was curled up under it, making it impossible for outsiders to see her.

That breath of hot air struck his long-silent nerves, making his veins bulge and throb.

"Shen Lang, are you not welcoming me? Or have I been too presumptuous...? I only did this because of our relationship and because I missed you..."

Seeing that Shen Changji's expression was off, Liu Jiaojiao quickly softened her voice.

Perhaps... she was too hasty.

The more tense and reserved Chen Changji was, the more unrestrained Su Miao's behavior became.

Hearing Liu Jiaojiao's words made her somewhat unhappy.

Seeing that Shen Changji did not answer her, Liu Jiaojiao could not help but confirm her own thoughts.

It seems she was really too impatient.

If I hadn't listened to what others said...

“Shen Lang, I understand. If you don’t welcome me, I’ll leave now,” Liu Jiaojiao said again.

"No," came the long, hoarse voice.

Hearing that something was wrong with Chen Changji's voice, Liu Jiaojiao became concerned.

"Is Shen Lang feeling unwell?"

"Um."

"So, Mr. Shen came here today to work up a sweat?" Liu Jiaojiao asked, following up on Shen Changji's words.

If you feel unwell, you can consult the family physician.

But Shen Changji was different from ordinary people. He spent many years on the battlefield, and when he had minor illnesses or pains, he would usually just work up a sweat and get through it.

"Um."

He remained silent for a long time, offering little explanation.

But the more he acted this way, the more Su Miao could sense the changes in the man's body, and her smile deepened.

I wonder what Liu Jiaojiao would think if she knew that Shen Lang, whom she longs for, was in this state!

You can't blame her for that!

Who would have thought that Shen Changji was so telepathic, ending up in the same room as her?

"In that case, I won't bother Shen Lang any longer. See you at his birthday celebration." Liu Jiaojiao was very sensible.

Since the man didn't want to be disturbed, she went back.

If you make a scene, it will only annoy Shen Changji.

"I'll have Lone Eagle deliver it to you."

There was no intention to keep him in silence.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao felt even worse.

If it weren't for the engagement, perhaps... he really wouldn't even want to look at her!

But... no matter what, she was determined to marry Shen Changji.

She can tolerate the current unpleasantness.

As long as I can marry Shen Changji...!

"No need for Lone Eagle. If you're so kind, Mr. Chen, why not give me a ride?"

That being said, Liu Jiaojiao didn't insist too much, but her constant concessions weren't a good thing either.

She was prepared for a long and unpleasant period of silence.

"Just kidding, Shen Lang has something to attend to. After all, we have a long future ahead of us."

Liu Jiaojiao chuckled softly, her voice gentle.

She was so dignified that no one could find fault with her, and she was very understanding, just like a proper wife who knew when to advance and when to retreat.

The more Liu Jiaojiao acted this way, the bolder Su Miao's hands became.

She even lifted her long, heavy robes, her hand reaching straight for her most daring spot.

Shen Changji tensed up.

Liu Jiaojiao had already gotten up, but the moment she opened the door, a long, silent voice came from behind her.

"I send you."

Although she had her back to Chen Changji, a smile appeared on her lips.

But when she turned to face Shen Changji, she still managed to suppress the joy on her face.

"That's not a good idea... Shen Lang, you're busy."

"It's alright. You are my betrothed wife, so it's only right that I see you off." Shen Changji's eyes were dark, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"Well... thank you very much, Mr. Chen!"

Liu Jiaojiao's eyes and brows revealed a look of joy.

But Su Miao, who was under the table, looked displeased.

The bride-to-be?

She couldn't help but scoff coldly.

She wore a light layer of lip rouge when she went out today.

Su Miao reached out and wiped her lips, then applied the lip rouge directly to Shen Changji's sensitive area, before grasping it through his robe.

The sudden touch made Chen Changji's tense body react with extreme sensitivity, and his brows furrowed instantly.

"What's wrong with Chen Lang?" Liu Jiaojiao looked over.

"It's nothing!"

He suppressed the heat rising in his body and glanced under the table.

Su Miao seemed unwilling to give up. She noticed a pen sticking out halfway on the table, so she reached out and pulled it off.

At that moment, Shen Changji got up.

The sound of the pen falling to the ground was very crisp.

"Let me do it!" Liu Jiaojiao said, wanting to come over.

A woman's sixth sense told her that something was wrong with Shen Changji!

He remained silent and directly refused.

"No need, I can manage."

As he bent down to pick up his pen, Su Miao seized the opportunity and planted a light kiss on his thin lips.

Although it was light, it was enough to stir up a storm in his long-silent heart and arouse his unbearable desire.

Su Miao's lips slowly curved into a casual smile, her eyes sparkling with a captivating allure.

"I'll wait for you, brother."

She didn't need to say it aloud; Shen Changji already understood.

His Adam's apple bobbed, his dark eyes swirled, and he stared at Su Miao with undisguised fervor.

But the moment he stood up, the lust in his eyes vanished in an instant.

Liu Jiaojiao had no idea what the long silence just now had been about.

All she knew was that Shen Changji's act of sending her back was already a step forward for her.

She couldn't rush things with this man.

She could only gradually... stir up Shen Changji's goodwill towards her.

Because... this man is indifferent to her now.

"Chen Lang, thank you." Liu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"No need, let's go."

Shen Changji's face was tense as he pushed open the door and took a step forward.

Liu Jiaojiao looked at him, her fair face slightly flushed, and quickly followed Chen Changji's footsteps.

No matter how long it has been since they last met, she is always immediately drawn to this man whenever he appears in her sight.

She believed that sooner or later this man would fall for her!

You'll discover her good qualities...

As Liu Jiaojiao thought about it, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

As soon as the person left, Su Miao rubbed her lower back and came out from under the table.

She walked to the window, looked at the two figures from behind, and let out a soft sigh.

Shen Changji quickly sent Liu Jiaojiao back to the Taipu Mansion and returned shortly afterward.

He saw a faint touch of red hidden in his dark robe and thought of Su Miao.

His desire surged once more; he wanted to devour her inch by inch, until she was etched into his very bones…
