Su Miao raised an eyebrow and looked away from Chen Changji.
"I'm just helping my grandmother deliver some things. Staying too long would arouse suspicion, especially since General Shen has already set a wedding date."
As Su Miao spoke, she tried to struggle.
But Shen Changji held her hand tightly, his dark eyes fixed intently on her.
"What are you holding?"
Upon hearing this, Su Miao reached out and took the food box.
"Grandma said you've been busy lately, so she prepared some soup for you to drink while it's hot."
Shen Changji glanced at it, then said, "You drink it for me."
"I just had tea and snacks at my grandmother's, and I don't want any more now."
"If you're not going to drink it, just grind it up."
The man's deep voice came from above again.
Su Miao instantly found the long silence incomprehensible.
"I'll let you go after you finish drinking," the man said again.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao smelled the fragrant soup, thought for a moment, and then took it and drank it.
Since it's free, why not drink it!
Because it was prepared for Shen Changji, the ingredients were of very high quality, and the taste was something she rarely experienced.
Su Miaoqing couldn't help but smile, and swallowed involuntarily.
"Is it good?"
"It's delicious!"
Her grandmother told her that the soup had been simmering for several hours, so how could it not taste good?
Su Miao didn't notice anything amiss and took another sip of soup.
Different statuses, different treatment indeed.
Shen Changji is probably tired of seeing and drinking this kind of stuff by now. If she could, she really wanted to switch identities with this jerk in her next life.
As Shen Changji looked at Su Miao, his throat inexplicably felt hot, and erotic images flashed through his mind.
"Ah! I'm done drinking!"
Su Miao took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth with satisfaction, then rubbed her round belly.
"Su Miao, you need to be good."
Looking at Su Miao's beautiful face, which seemed more obedient and honest than usual, Shen Changji couldn't help but blurt out.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao immediately frowned.
Is she still not being good?
"General Shen, what do you consider 'well-behaved'? Would it be well-behaved to put you on the altar and worship you?"
A long silence followed: "..."
Upon hearing Su Miao's words, the tenderness in his eyes vanished instantly.
He suddenly realized that there was something wrong with him that made him say that.
This woman knows how to choke him to death!
"Don't like Xie Qin, things won't work out between you two."
After calming himself down, Shen Changji spoke in a deep voice.
"Oh!"
Su Miao chuckled dismissively, completely disregarding Shen Changji's words.
"Then don't marry Liu Jiaojiao, it won't work out for you two anyway."
Su Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes, her expression full of disdain.
His calm and composed expression darkened visibly, his gaze turned cold, and his entire being exuded a sinister aura.
"I'm telling the truth! There's no future between Xie Qin and me, so why would I want to be with you?"
Su Miao's eyes held a hint of playfulness and inquiry, her voice soft as she met Chang Changjiu's gaze directly.
"You can give it a try."
"Ha! General Shen is truly fascinating!"
Although Su Miao spoke with a smile, her words were laced with mockery.
The more she acted this way, the darker her usually stoic face became.
He suddenly couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed her chin, lifted her head, and kissed her.
Su Miao's eyes widened instantly, and her blood seemed to freeze.
Shen Changji's behavior was already unusual, and to be honest, she hadn't expected him to respond like that.
Just as Shen Changji was holding her head and deepening the kiss, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, Aunt Fang, who serves the old lady, is looking for Miss Cousin."
The lone eagle's voice soon rang out.
Su Miao reached out and pushed Shen Changji away. She quickly got off the table.
A faint pink tinge appeared on her earlobes as she pushed open the door and ran out.
He lowered his gaze to the empty bowl, trying to calm and suppress his surging emotions.
...
Su Miao tried her best not to let Old Madam Shen notice anything amiss. When she entered the room, she adjusted her breathing.
When Old Man Shen saw Su Miao, he took her hand and told her about the recent events in the mansion.
"By the way, Ziji and Jiaojiao's wedding is approaching. As for you, is there any man you like? Don't worry, as long as your grandmother is still here, she will definitely uphold justice for you."
Grandma Shen held Su Miao's hand and looked at her with a smile.
Because of the close proximity, she still noticed a small cut on Su Miao's earlobe, and a flicker of light appeared in her eyes.
When Su Miao looked up to reply, a fleeting emotion flashed in Old Mrs. Shen's eyes, which she concealed very well.
"Miao'er... would like to stay with her grandmother forever, after all, I still remember how good her grandmother was to me."
"What are you saying? What kind of girl doesn't get married? By the way, I heard Xie Qin has feelings for you, what do you think?"
Shen Yueyin walked in with a smile and couldn't help but say, "I think Prince Xie is quite good."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Shen looked at Su Miao and asked for her opinion.
"It is indeed very good."
Grandma Shen: "Since you think it's a good idea, then you two should visit each other more often. I remember his birthday is in a couple of days. I'll have someone send you a dress and some jewelry then, so you can dress up nicely."
Shen Yueyin said, "Grandmother, you don't need to worry. I've already prepared everything for Sister Su! She will surely outshine all the beauties when the time comes."
Su Miao knew that Xie Qin's birthday was in two days, but she did not answer and kept a faint smile on her face.
She stayed with Old Madam Shen for about an hour. When she came out, Shen Yueyin gave her a few special reminders.
But as soon as she got into the carriage, thinking of Shen Changji's words, her heart inexplicably became somewhat unsettled...
