When Shen Changji said this, his gaze fell on Su Miao in his arms.
Su Miao's face was flushed and slightly tipsy, her expression languid, and her bright eyes were hazy and dreamy, making it impossible to guess her current emotions.
She took Chen Changji's arm and snuggled into his embrace.
Pei Yu...
She hadn't heard that name in a long time, and couldn't help but laugh to herself.
Who is it?
Su Miao asked in a muffled voice, reaching out to touch his long, silent face.
"Who is it that you don't know?"
After a long silence, they tested the waters again.
"I don't know what you're talking about... hiccup."
As the carriage moved, Su Miao swayed unsteadily, barely managing to hold onto Chen Changji.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Su Miao with scrutiny and suspicion.
Because they were so close, when the wind blew, Shen Changji could smell the strong aroma of alcohol and couldn't help but frown.
He had noticed her during the banquet.
Su Miao's drinking ability... surpasses that of a group of grown men.
She showed no trace of a delicate, aristocratic demeanor; her toasts were bold and unrestrained, flowing smoothly and effortlessly.
Why did you drink so much?
"Do I need a reason to drink? You're so annoying," Su Miao retorted irritably.
She's nobody, why is she meddling so much!
As Su Miao spoke, she picked up the water next to her and drank it in one gulp.
The cool water sobered her up considerably.
To be precise, she woke up quite a bit after Shen Changji called out that name.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was still quite unsettled inside...
Most importantly, she never expected that such an old dog as Shen Changji would call out that name while she was drunk.
She couldn't let Shen Changji see through her disguise.
She thought Shen Changji was going to spend the night with Liu Jiaojiao, but who knew...
"It's so kind of my brother to personally escort me back." Su Miao smiled and looked at Chen Changji.
As night fell, the man's face flickered between light and shadow, making it impossible for her to discern his expression.
Su Miao leaned against the deep silence, her eyes shimmering with intoxication, reflecting a hazy starlight.
Thinking of her closeness with Xie Qin just now, and the rumors circulating outside about their good news, Shen Changji couldn't help but reach out and grab Su Miao's chin.
"Hmm...be gentle."
She blinked her innocent, watery eyes, her voice soft.
It makes you want to cherish her even more.
"You like Xie Qin?"
"Young Master Xie is a good person, he is a good person..."
Just as Su Miao was about to list Xie Qinhao's good points, Shen Changji kissed her directly, silencing her.
Because she had just drunk alcohol, Su Miao's mind was still hazy, but Shen Changji's sudden behavior made her pupils widen slightly.
She wanted to speak, but the man didn't give her a chance at all.
The burning kiss made Su Miao's heart tremble.
The occasional undulations of the carriage further shortened the distance between them.
Shen Changji reached out his other hand and pulled her into his arms, his warm palm enveloping her.
The temperature inside the carriage rose rapidly.
Su Miao looked at Shen Changji. His aura was clearly one of asceticism, but his eyes seemed to be bewitched, and his breathing quickened.
She couldn't resist the burning gaze of Shen Changji.
The man's large hand gently stroked her back, and she couldn't help but press herself closer to his chest.
He released her lips in a long, silent moment, then buried his face in her neck once more…
Suddenly, Su Miao vaguely felt an indescribable pain and itching sensation a little below her neck.
Her body seemed to be out of control, and she tightly gripped the hem of Chen Changji's clothes.
But just then, the voice of a lone eagle came from outside.
"Master, we have arrived at Miss Su's residence."
The sound broke the ambiguous atmosphere inside the carriage.
Su Miao instantly regained her senses and turned her face away.
Shen Changji raised his head, his face shrouded in darkness, his eyes deep and unfocused.
"I drank a bit too much tonight, I'm going home now."
As Su Miao stood up, Shen Changji seized the opportunity to grab her wrist.
Because it was somewhat dark inside the carriage, Su Miao was unaware of Shen Changji's emotions.
He watched as the passion in Su Miao's eyes gradually faded, and he felt a strange mix of emotions.
The two remained frozen for half a second before Su Miao finally withdrew her hand and got off the carriage.
Shen Changji felt somewhat uncomfortable looking at Su Miao's expression of no lingering attachment or reluctance.
After all, in the past, she shouldn't have...
With a "snap," the mansion door slammed shut without the slightest hesitation.
A long silence followed: "..."
Seeing this, Lone Eagle couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you thirsty? Or is your head hurting?"
Should I go and ask Lady Su for a bowl of hangover soup? Or is my master feeling really unwell and needs to rest at Lady Su's place for a while?
"None of that is needed! Let's go back to the manor."
His conflicted feelings caused him to feel somewhat agitated.
Upon hearing this, Lone Eagle quickened his pace and drove the carriage back to the Duke's mansion.
Once back home... his master showed no sign of wanting to rest.
Stubborn to the end!
After serving the last cup of tea, Lone Eagle went to rest.
...
On the other side, Shen Yueyin, although it was her wedding day, was not sleepy at all.
Especially now that she's eavesdropping, she can't sleep at all!
If she hadn't wanted to eat in the kitchen tonight, she probably wouldn't have encountered such a shocking scene.
Although no one was visible, the intense fighting between the two inside the house could be heard.
Even if Shen Yueyin turned to ashes, she could still recognize that the woman's voice was Liu Jiaojiao!
She couldn't help but nudge Liu Muxuan with her elbow, "I never imagined your elder sister was so promiscuous in private! She even wanted to marry my elder brother..."
