When Wen Jing heard this, he was surprised at first, then ecstatic, and then he called out "Shu'er." Murong Shu wanted to laugh when he saw Wen Jing's reaction.
"Shu'er, I like you too." Wen Jing also wanted to let Murong Shu know that he liked her too.
"I know. I knew it since the first time you gave me a personal jade pendant." Murong Shu said with a smile.
This time it was Wen Jing's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect Murong Shu had felt it so early. Wen Jing was so angry in his heart, wondering why he didn't express his feelings to Shu'er earlier.
Seeing Wen Jing's regretful look, Murong Shu suddenly felt relieved and jokingly said, "Master Wen, you look so regretful, don't you?"
"Yes, I regret why I didn't let Shu'er know my feelings earlier."
"Then what?"
"Then I won't have to be alone in unrequited love." Wen Jing was really determined at this moment, and he didn't feel shy at all when he said these words.
Thinking that Wen Jing had thought that she didn't like him for so long, Murong Shu felt a little sorry for him.
"Zi Yu, I am willing to give you a chance. Let's give it a try, okay? If the timing is not right, we can part ways amicably." Murong Shu expressed his point of view.
"No, Shu'er, we are definitely suitable. I will change everything you don't like. I don't have any bad habits. The Wen family rules do not allow concubines, so Shu'er and I are definitely suitable." When Wen Jing heard that Murong Shu was not suitable and wanted to part ways amicably, he became anxious.
"Tzuyu, don't get excited. I'm just assuming. Maybe some of my ideas are too weird, but I still want your opinion. Can we try to get along first without getting engaged?"
"Shu'er, you can make any request, and I will accept it unconditionally." Wen Jing felt that as long as he was good to Murong Shu, Shu'er would agree to him one day. She had waited for so many years and no longer cared about it.
"Is this a deal then?" Murong Shu asked uncertainly.
"I'll listen to Shu'er." Wen Jing acted as if you are the boss and whatever you say is right, revealing his wife-slave nature.
Murong Shu thought about it and wondered what kind of relationship they had now. In ancient times, she didn’t know how to describe it, but in modern times, they could be described as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Will Shu'er dislike me for doing nothing all day?" Wen Jing wanted to know what Murong Shu thought of him.
"No, as long as Ziyu is happy." In Murong Shu's opinion, Wen Jing is already from a top family. Even if he doesn't work for the rest of his life, the Wen family can still support him.
"I was unable to serve in the court before because of poor health. Now I feel much better. I will also find something to do in the future. I want to be Shu'er's support in the future and be able to protect Shu'er."
At this moment, Wen Jing made up his mind to give Murong Shu better. Now that his illness has improved a lot and Shu'er also likes him, it is time for him to return to the court.
He was the top scholar in the imperial examination and the emperor gave him an official position. However, he later stayed at home to recuperate due to health reasons and did not attend court.
"If this is what Tzuyu wants to do, just go for it. Shu'er supports you." Murong Shu thinks that men who are serious about their careers are the most handsome.
"Tzuyu, can I discuss something with you?"
"Shu'er, why do you have to be so polite to me?"
"It's like this. I remember that Tianranxuan is the Wen family's property, right? Can you go back and ask the eldest lady? I want Erzhu to learn some experience in managing a shop." Murong Shu said a little embarrassedly. She didn't know if this request was too much.
"I can make the decision on this. I am the one who manages Tianranxuan. You can ask Erzhu to go there whenever you want." Erzhu Wen Jing remembered that he was the brother of Murong Shu's maid Xiaotao.
"That's great. I've always liked Tianranxuan. It turns out that Ziyu is the manager. Ziyu is amazing. She can study and manage a shop." Murong Shu spoke from the heart, but Wen Jing blushed.
Wen Jing would really feel shy when being praised so warmly and directly by the girl he likes in person. His Shu'er is so adorable.
"Zi Yu, why is your face red? Are you feeling unwell?" As Murong Shu was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Wen Jing's face was red. Thinking that Wen Jing was suddenly feeling unwell again like before, he directly pulled Wen Jing's hand and started taking his pulse.
Wen Jing's face turned even redder at this moment. Shu'er had just pulled his hand, and her hand was so soft. He really wanted to pull it again.
"The pulse is fine. Maybe it's too hot in the carriage." Murong Shu muttered to himself after feeling the pulse.
"Shu'er, I'm fine!"
Murong Shu looked at Wen Jing again and suddenly laughed out loud. She understood that Wen Jing was shy.
"Tzuyu, you won't be shy anymore!"
"How, how could this happen!" Wen Jing felt extremely guilty.
This time, Murong Shu playfully held Wen Jing's hand and said with a smile, "You'll get used to it after holding hands a few times."
This time, Wen Jing actually nodded solemnly, agreeing very much with Murong Shu's statement.
Wen Jing's serious look made Murong Shu secretly smile.
Wen Jing held Murong Shu's hand, his palms were sweating from nervousness. Murong Shu was very surprised to see him so nervous.
"Shu'er, I heard that your second brother will also die this year." Wen Jing was more concerned about Murong Shu's family.
"Yes, I heard from my second uncle that my second brother is planning to give it a try this year." The second brother Murong Shu was talking about was Mu Si's eldest son, Mu Siqing. He was the second child in the Mu family, so Murong Shu simply called him the second brother.
"I have some books that are helpful for your future. I'll send them to you later so that your second brother can read them when he's free."
"That's great. Second brother will definitely be very happy. By the way, if Ziyu has any extra ones, she can give one to Young Master Han. It's not easy for them mother and son." Murong Shu felt that the top scholar's notes would definitely be useful.
"Then I'll sort them out. Half will be given to your second brother and half to Mr. Han. This way they can take turns to read them."
"This is a good idea. This way I will feel a sense of urgency when studying. After all, there are others waiting to read." Murong Shu thought Wen Jing's idea was brilliant.
The two were chatting happily when Xiao Tao's voice rang out from outside the carriage, "Miss, we are at Zhuzi Street now. We need to separate from Master Wen."
Zhuzi Street is the fork in the road between the Mu family and the Wen family. Wen Jing and Murong Shu both felt that time was passing too quickly. Wen Jing unconsciously held Murong Shu's hand tighter. He didn't want to be separated from Murong Shu, and he wanted to go to the Mu Mansion.
Seeing Wen Jing's reluctant expression, Murong Shu said softly, "How about delivering the book tomorrow?"
Wen Jing nodded in surprise when he heard that. Shu'er meant that they might meet again tomorrow and she was looking forward to it.
Wen Jing reluctantly let go of his hand. Murong Shu stood up and gave Wen Jing a quick kiss before getting out of the carriage, then pushed open the door and quickly fled the scene.
"Miss, please slow down. What if you fall?" Xiao Tao's worried voice came from outside the carriage.
Wen Jing was filled with disbelief in the carriage. Shu'er had just kissed him, and he touched the place that Murong Shu had kissed and started to smile foolishly.
