Even though she acted naturally, Shen Changji still noticed Liu Jiaojiao's tightening hand.
He merely glanced at it briefly, feigning indifference.
"Yes, you've worked hard all these years. Take a good rest."
With that, he turned and left in silence.
Liu Jiaojiao's mind was really foggy, so she didn't pay much attention.
When she woke up the next day, she inquired and learned that Shen Changji had not left the previous night and had been in the mansion the whole time.
Nowadays, people in the mansion keep spreading rumors that Shen Changji dotes on her.
Although her mother is gone, she has a good husband, which is a blessing she has earned over many lifetimes.
After hearing those words, Liu Jiaojiao's appetite improved considerably, and she drank two bowls of porridge.
...
However, Su Miao on the other side vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
She rubbed her arm, looked at her side, and couldn't help but look out the window again.
It's closed...
But last night she vaguely felt herself fall into a hot embrace. Because she was so tired, she couldn't keep her eyes open and fell asleep.

Would Chen Changji sneak in?
Su Miao herself didn't believe it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

The name "Pei Yu" reached her ears unintentionally, and her hand tightened slightly.
"Doctor Pei is a man of impeccable character. Even if I get a little close to him and my breath brushes against his ear, he will blush. How could someone like that possibly have ulterior motives!"
Su Miao immediately recognized Shen Xing's voice.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the sounds inside gradually faded out.
When Shen Xing came out, he glanced at Su Miao and then left her side.
Su Miao steeled herself and took the things into the long, silent room.
"Come and grind the powder," the man said in a deep voice without looking up.
"I'm not strong, my hands are sore..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Changji looked up at her and gave a light scoff.
"My hands ache from grinding, and everything else aches too. I need to practice more."
Upon hearing this, Su Miao couldn't help but recall the events that had been orchestrated by him.
Seeing Su Miao's face flush, Shen Changji took her hand and gently pulled her into his arms.
