The room was dimly lit, and Su Miao couldn't stand it, so she placed her hand against Shen Changji's chest.
He gently kissed the corner of her mouth, his breathing becoming heavy, and there seemed to be some emotion surging in his eyes.
Su Miao's cheeks flushed with rouge, her eyes shimmering with tears as she stared at Chen Changji with accusation.
"I don't want to think about it now."
Because I think you and Liu Jiaojiao are quite... um!
Before Su Miao could finish speaking, Shen Changji kissed her again.
His movements were domineering and forceful; his large hands gripped both sides of her cheeks.
The warmth of her palm sent shivers down her spine and made her heart pound.
The more she struggled, the more the man seemed like a block of iron, impossible to move no matter what she did.
In a moment of confusion, Su Miao's fingertips slashed sharply across Shen Changji's chin.
A striking splash of red stood out starkly against the darkness.
She paused for a moment, subconsciously raised her hand, but then thought for a moment and pulled it back into her sleeve.
Su Miao looked away without saying a word.
But Shen Changji saw the hesitation in her eyes, grabbed her hand, and placed it on his chin.
"You didn't treat me like this before."
The man's deep, husky voice slowly rang out.
That was before.
Su Miao immediately withdrew her hand, without looking at Shen Changji.
If he hadn't set a wedding date with Liu Jiaojiao, things would be fine...
"It's late, General Shen, I'm tired."
As Su Miao was about to leave the table, Shen Changji leaned closer again.
She tried to push him away, but he grabbed her and pressed her against the wall. His cool, faint fragrance ambiguously enveloped her senses.
Shen Changji looked up at her, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
"Giving up so quickly?"
Su Miao, who is truly in your heart?!
His eyes were deep and dark, his expression shrouded in darkness and unreadable.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao's mind went blank, and she tilted her head slightly to look at him.
What does "silent silence" mean?
The man's tall figure blocked the moonlight from entering the room, and his powerful aura enveloped her completely.
From the moment Chen Changji asked her if she wanted him to marry her, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong with this man.
Su Miao looked at his deep and profound features, and a faint smile forced onto her lips.
"So? General Shen has fallen for me?"
Su Miao's voice was flat and even, without her usual affected mannerisms.
As Shen Changji gazed at her delicate and charming face, her eyes glistening with tears, his heartstrings were gently plucked.
His large hand gently touched her lips, his fingertips caressing them, and his eyes shifted slightly.
Do you want to?
His deep, dark eyes and seductive voice were captivating.
He scooped the person in front of him up and straddled him.
Those slender fingers gently traced her neck, and Su Miao's heart trembled.
Do you want him to marry her...?
"Think it through carefully, or you'll regret it later."
I will only have one wife.
The implication was that if she made her choice, she wouldn't be able to escape...
Su Miao unconsciously clenched her dress, as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her head, and her heart was pounding wildly.
"Know your own heart, and those who deceive me will not have a good end."
His long, quiet eyes were slightly lowered, his voice was soft, and his dark eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, concealing all his emotions.
Hearing this, Su Miao appeared calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
She thought of how Shen Changji and Liu Jiaojiao had been inseparable these past few days.
Although at the Duke's mansion, he always remained indifferent whenever people talked about him and Liu Jiaojiao.
But from the moment the wedding date was set, the man's attitude towards Liu Jiaojiao changed.
Even when he was busy, he would always make time for her, showering Liu Jiaojiao with the affection of a fiancée.
No matter what Shen Yueyin said, Shen Changji remained unmoved.
It was as if... as if he had made up his mind about Liu Jiaojiao.
Do you like her?
"dislike."
Chen Changji answered very decisively.
Although she was prepared for this answer, hearing it come from Shen Changji's mouth gave her a completely different feeling.
"If you don't like it, why don't you believe what Yueyin said?"
"She's not a good person!" Su Miao said, puzzled.
"Because I only believe what I see, and even if I don't like her, it won't stop me from marrying her."
She's right in front of me, and I don't sense anything wrong with her.
His deep, quiet voice was low and cool, with a great penetrating power.
But in the quiet, dim night, it gave her a sense of oppression.
...
On the other side, Liu Jiaojiao leaned against the man's chest, playing with the things that Chen Changji had recently given her.
"Why do you want to go somewhere different tonight?"
The man put his arm around her waist and whispered intimately in her ear.
“He’s been very nice to me lately, but I don’t know why. It seems like his attitude towards me has changed ever since the wedding date was set.”
"Isn't that good? I've always said that so-and-so can't shake your position."
Liu Jiaojiao: "Putting everything else aside, what's wrong with Butler Liu? He's been acting really strange towards me lately."
It seems that the housekeeper's attitude towards her changed after her wedding date was set.
Every time I see her, she smiles, but that smile... is a little eerie.
As for what happened, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't say.
"He's just an ordinary person. Don't overthink it. He probably just wants to climb the social ladder because you married well," the man said calmly.
It is not uncommon for servants to show loyalty to their masters.
