She quickly unfolded the painting in her hand.

But there is only one pair of eyes in the painting.

Only the eyes were drawn!

The expressiveness of the eyes was captured exceptionally well by Shen Changji.

It's quite obvious that the eyes in the painting look like they were still in childhood, not yet fully developed...

If she were to grow up, she would be a beauty.

Su Miao's memory flashed through her mind, but she had no recollection of Shen Changji at all.

So the person in the painting... isn't her!

Su Miao finally understood why Shen Changji had said she resembled someone.

She looks just like the person in the painting in my hand!

This person must be very special in Shen Changji's mind, otherwise he wouldn't remember him so well, and there would even be a painting of him!

She had thought that Shen Changji had some feelings for Liu Jiaojiao, but now it seems that he has none at all.

Because... Shen Chang also harbors feelings for someone!

The reason he married Liu Jiaojiao was probably because of the friendship between their families.

Su Miao couldn't help but glance at the painting in her hand a few more times, a playful thought flashing through her mind.

If you don't like someone, then don't marry someone you don't like!

Su Miao's lips curled up slightly.

She quickly rolled up the painting in her hand and put it back in its original place.

Su Miao had just put her things away when Shen Changji returned.

"What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Su Miao turned around, a faint smile on her lips.

"I'm thinking of my brother."

She swayed her hips and leaned closer to Shen Changji, her hand gently caressing his open neckline.

"Brother, don't you understand my heart?"

She leaned close to the man's ear and lowered her voice.

He has feelings for her, harbors feelings for someone else, and will nominally marry another.

This man was a bit more complicated than she had imagined.

As expected of General Shen, he is very good at disguising himself!

She understands the feeling of having someone in one's heart, because she also has unforgettable memories.

"Brother, I suddenly feel that we are a good match."

She deliberately dragged out her words, her hand slowly circling around the man's heart, her tone playful.

People who find warmth in each other.

It's hard for the man not to be reminded of something by her smiling at him like that, isn't it?

Or perhaps, he has always regarded her as that person.

Shen Changji could feel Su Miao's hand moving downwards, so he grabbed her wrist, his expression unreadable.

"Brother, you and Sister Liu have such a good relationship."

She raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone casual.

It seemed like she was genuinely saying how good their relationship was, yet it also seemed like she was being sarcastic!

Although Shen Changji held one of her hands, Su Miao still managed to entangle her other hand with him.

“Brother, do you think we can still be like this after you get married? After all, our courtyards are so close... and I haven’t even left the Duke’s mansion yet.”

"Don't worry, brother, I'll keep my voice down."

Her lips curved slightly, her hands exploring the man's lower abdomen with a languid yet bold air, alluring and seductive.

"You really enjoy taking on dangerous challenges?"

He approached her, his voice low and hoarse.

"As long as it's a brother, I'll like him. Don't you like him too? Then, we'll be separated by a wall, with Sister Liu on one side and you and me on the other..."

Her voice was soft, and her eyes held a smile that was both genuine and feigned, making her incredibly alluring in his eyes.

"Don't be so clever. I've advised you against it."

A dark glint appeared in Shen Changji's eyes as he gripped Su Miao's wrist tighter and tighter.

"Brother, I'm injured." Su Miao gestured to the back of her hand.

She's in pain.

But Shen Changji seemed not to hear that, and pressed his thumb against the spot where she had just been injured.

"Hiss... Ah..."

Su Miao couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her face showing pain.

"Does it hurt? Tomorrow is Liu Jiaojiao's birthday, so you'd better keep your fox tail hidden!"

The long, silent words carried a warning.

Upon hearing this, Su Miao chuckled lightly, unconvinced.

Shen Changji only let go of Su Miao's hand when he saw that her face was a little flushed.

"go back!"

"Brother is so strong...it hurts so much."

Su Miao shook her hand, her sweet voice carrying a hint of coquetry.

But Shen Changji had already turned his back.

She did not stay any longer.

Because she knew that the first time she succeeded because Shen Changji was in a state of infatuation, but the second time... this man was engaged, and he would not allow himself to fall into a state of lust.

Since that's the case... well, we'll see!

...

Su Miao returned to the house, and Tao'er quickly brought her some ointment.

"Bear with it, it might hurt a little."

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

She had suffered quite a few injuries while gathering herbs and chopping firewood in the mountains before, so this little bit of pain was nothing to worry about.

"The eldest young master's personality is truly terrifying..."

“He’s not scary, he’s a contradiction,” Su Miao said calmly.

Tao'er sighed.

"Prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for me; it's time to write him a letter," Su Miao instructed.

Tao'er was instantly happy when she heard this.

"The master will be very happy when he receives it."

"I hope he'll always be happy." Su Miao smiled.

But she didn't know that at the same time, her portrait was hanging in a man's room.

He looked at the painting in front of him, hesitated for a moment, but his hand still couldn't help but reach down to his lower abdomen...
