Chapter 1106 Let’s Give It a Try
Shen Shan's scalp tingled when she looked at him. He always felt that if he didn't explain, there might be some bad consequences.
“I” Shen Shan turned away, not daring to look into Zheng Ruoxi’s pure eyes, “I used to have a good impression of the young lady of the Duke’s Mansion.”
He was embarrassed to say the word "like", so he used "favor" instead, but the meaning was very clear.
Zheng Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then asked in a very straightforward manner, "You like a boudoir lady like Song Zhiqing?"
Shen Shan nodded silently.
"I can become like her!" Zheng Ruoxi blurted out.
But Shen Shan suddenly turned his head to look at her, frowning slightly, "Miss Zheng, there is no need to be like this, you are very good."
In fact, it was only after arriving in northern Hubei that he discovered that a girl from a wealthy family like Song Zhiqing was not suitable for him. If they had been married, Song Zhiqing would definitely not have been able to endure the hardship of exile.
On the contrary, people like Zheng Ruoxi, who looks dignified on the outside but is actually innocent and lively, and has no twists and turns in her heart, like straightforward women and are more comfortable to get along with.
"Since you also say that I'm a good person, why don't you want to be with me?" Zheng Ruoxi really didn't understand.
Shen Shan sighed, "Miss Zheng, liking someone and marrying that person are two different things."
If marriage is entirely a matter of free choice, it is not necessarily the case that the couple will be a perfect match. The differences in family background and upbringing will gradually become apparent, and at that time, chaos may arise.
"But the plays all say that people in love should eventually get married!" Zheng Ruoxi still didn't give up.
Since the engagement was broken off, her mother has introduced her to many men, but she didn't like any of them. She only thought about the man in front of her from time to time, and sometimes even couldn't sleep at night because of his fantasies.
Shen Shan pursed his lips and said something quite hurtful, "But you and I are not lovers."
"We can work hard to become lovers." Now that it's been said, Zheng Ruoxi has no intention of saving face today. The fifth girl said that if a man saves face, he won't have a wife. If a woman saves face, she won't have a husband.
Shen Shan: “” He was speechless.
The two of them didn't speak for a long time. Just when Zheng Ruoxi thought he would refuse, Shen Shan suddenly sighed.
"Thank you Miss Zheng for not giving up, then let's give it a try."
Zheng Ruoxi's eyes lit up, and she automatically ignored the reservation in his words, "Then it's settled! But this isn't just a trial run, we'll definitely be together forever!"
When Shen Shan said this, he felt that he was a bit of a scumbag. Seeing Zheng Ruoxi's bright smile because he let go, he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
In fact, when he said he would give it a try, he was not leaving a way out for himself, but for Zheng Ruoxi.
With His Highness's current momentum, it is only a matter of time before he ascends the throne. By then, Lord Zheng will surely have a noble status, and Zheng Ruoxi will also rise with him.
Both her parents are still alive, while the Shen family only has the elderly, the weak, women and children. Even if the sixth sister has great fortune in the future, the Shen family will only be prosperous on the surface. Unless all of her brothers hold high positions, he and Zheng Ruoxi are not a match in terms of status.
From that day on, Zheng Ruoxi often came to bring food to Shen Shan. Shen Shan also changed from avoiding her before to accepting it openly. Even if he was teased, he just smiled and said nothing, as if he agreed.
Mrs. Zheng was very worried when she saw her daughter like this. She said to the nanny beside her: "How can a girl like this be valued by her husband's family?"
