To hide the dark circles under her eyes, she applied an extra layer of powder.
Even so, once she got into the carriage, Shen Changji could still see how haggard she looked.
"Is your stomach feeling any better?"
"I feel much better, thank you for your concern," Su Miao replied politely with a smile.
That single "thank you" immediately created a distance between them.
Shen Changji didn't take it seriously and took out the millet porridge he had prepared.
"You haven't had breakfast yet, have some?"
"Okay, thank you for your thoughtfulness."
Su Miao did not refuse.
Looking at her like this, Shen Changji continued, "I'll take you back to the Duke's Mansion first. Although you have your own residence, it's safer for you to be at the Duke's Mansion."

When Grandma Shen heard that she had arrived, she couldn't stop smiling.
Shen Changji had something to do, so he went straight to his study as soon as he got back.
Su Miao simply stayed with Old Lady Shen.
Old Mrs. Shen had been paying attention to the situation between Shen Changji and Su Miao ever since they appeared together.
