"No, right?"
Su Miao smiled even more sweetly.
"If that's the case, then why is General Shen so determined to marry her? Sister Liu is clearly unfaithful to you."
Su Miao voiced her curiosity that had been building up for days.
Shen Yueyin knew that Liu Jiaojiao was having an affair with another man. Although she and Shen Changji were not biological siblings, she would not lie to him.
At least, seven or eight tenths of what Shen Yueyin said was true.
Despite his stoic silence, he remained determined to marry Liu Jiaojiao.
"If I won't marry her, then I'll marry you?" the man said in a hoarse, low voice.
Su Miao chuckled softly and leaned into Chen Changji's arms.
"I just feel sorry for you. You clearly don't like her, and she treated you like that, but you kept giving in..."
Why... after what she did to you, do you still want to marry her! What's so great about her?!
Shen Changji said dismissively, "It's for no reason. As the daughter of the Grand Master of the Palace, she's perfect in every way."
"You don't believe me? Don't you even believe Yueyin's words?"
He let out a long, silent sigh, offering no reply.
Su Miao turned her head, her eyes lowered, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "I don't believe it... I don't believe you really like her!"
"If you don't believe me, then forget it."
Su Miao couldn't quite understand this man after hearing Shen Changji's words.
In her understanding, Shen Changji was very possessive; he wasn't the kind of man who would turn a blind eye to his partner's infidelity.
Su Miao hesitated for a moment, then asked in a choked voice, "Are you really... going to marry her?"
"yes."
The long, silent reply came almost without the slightest hesitation.
"Why?"
"Because she is the woman of my dreams. She is beautiful, talented, and perfect in every way."
As Shen Changji spoke these words, he kept an eye on Su Miao out of the corner of his eye.
But her head was always lowered, making it impossible to discern her emotions at that moment.
If it were the first half, Su Miao could still believe that Shen Changji liked Liu Jiaojiao, but that last sentence... Su Miao instantly sobered up.
She had seen that painting before and knew that the person in the painting was the one from the long, silent dream!
Liu Jiaojiao bears no resemblance to the person in the painting, and moreover, Shen Changji's attitude towards Liu Jiaojiao is always cold and indifferent when they interact in private.
Where does this liking come from?
So... this man was lying to her!
Given the current situation, the only thing she could guess was that Shen Changji wanted to capture Liu Jiaojiao in one fell swoop.
