What if you don't like it?
Without a second thought, Shen Changji directly asked a question in return.
His voice was terribly hoarse, and his thin lips pressed against her earlobe, slowly moving toward her face.
Although it was very light, Su Miao was still agitated.
"You'll like it!"
Su Miao affirmed again.
Shen Changji scoffed at Su Miao's certainty.
Su Miaoneng clearly felt a jolt in her chest and her breathing became slightly labored.
Why do you think I would like it?
"Because she is very beautiful, both in appearance and background, she is a good match for you."
"Then what?"
Patience is rare in long periods of silence.
Seeing how serious Su Miao was, he slightly raised his arm and gently stroked her earlobe with his fingertips.
"You...be normal!"
"How am I not normal? Please continue."
Shen Changji appeared completely calm, as if he hadn't done anything at all.
Well-dressed...
To distract Shen Changji, Su Miao bit her lip and continued, "Not only is she beautiful, but she is also well-educated and reasonable. She is better than Liu Jiaojiao in every way."
"And you're proficient in all the arts—music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, right? And well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics?"
The long silence didn't stop, but the voice was deliberately drawn out, the tone excessively seductive.
"yes……"
Su Miao had no rebuttal and agreed.
"Hmm, she's a really nice girl."
Shen Changji gently held Su Miao's waist, bringing her closer to him, and then whispered praise in her ear.
A wave of sensation surged into Su Miao's ears, then spread to her rapidly beating heart.
She suppressed her feelings and showed a look of joy on her face.
"Right! Once you meet her, you'll probably think she's even better."
"But I have no intention of taking a concubine."
Su Miao: "..."
Chen Changji's calm and collected words completely shut down Su Miao's brain.
Taking a concubine?
The Meng family held a prominent position in the capital, being one of the most prominent clans.
How did it become "taking a concubine" in Shen Changji's mouth...?
"Grandmother means she wants you to marry... a wife."
For some reason, she had some difficulty pronouncing the word "wife".
"I will marry him."
"But it wasn't her."
After two consecutive sentences, his deep, cold, and ardent gaze fell on Su Miao once again.
"Miss Meng might be quite nice. After you meet her, you might not say that anymore."
Because she had seen the portrait.
Not to mention Shen Changji, even she was stunned when she saw those eyes.
If Shen Changji were to see this, what would happen?
"Su Miao, don't try to get me to let you go with these nonsense ideas. I won't let you go."
His deep, silent voice carried a warning, yet it was also incisive, piercing through her little scheme.
She had indeed considered having Shen Changji meet that Meng family member.
Perhaps if they saw them, they wouldn't act this way.
She had calculated the time.
By the time Liu Jiaojiao returned and everything was uncovered, the timing was perfect.
Su Miao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then turned to look at Chen Changji.
Don't ask me why.
"Su Miao, if I let you go, who will let me go?"
The deep, silent voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to make her gasp for breath and lose her composure.
It was at this moment that she understood why she had a bad feeling.
That feeling was very unsettling.
An irresistible attraction and craving burned fiercely in my heart, impossible to extinguish.
Su Miao instinctively wanted to turn around and run away, but Shen Changji grabbed her.
His eyes darkened, fixing intently on her.
Neither of them spoke.
In the end, Shen Changji was the first to give in. He softened his tone and said, "Let's have our meal first."
"……good."
Su Miao nodded, without looking at Shen Changji.
The meal was, as usual, spent in quiet silence.
After the meal, Su Miao expressed her desire to return home, and Shen Changji did not insist that she stay.
He personally escorted the person back before instructing Lone Eagle.
"Tomorrow, according to the old lady's wishes, let her go here to learn the zither."
Lone Eagle was somewhat taken aback by this arrangement.
"Miss, have you studied with the same teacher before? If not, wouldn't it be a bit rushed?"
A long silence directly negates the truth.
"Won't."
Upon hearing this forceful tone, Lone Eagle cautiously glanced at his master's expression and instantly understood.
"If she arrives early, I'll also show her some of the account books from my private shops," Shen Changji added.
Lone Eagle: "...I'm afraid Miss Biao won't read this."
"Let her learn from her. Doesn't she think that the Meng family's matriarch is a model? Since she thinks it's good, then she doesn't need to envy others."
Upon hearing the name "Meng Family," Lone Eagle instantly remembered something.
"Master, I must say that the young lady from the Meng family does indeed bear a resemblance to the cousin."
Especially those eyes.
"How is it similar?" Shen Changji retorted irritably.
He has never liked counterfeits.
"Yes, yes, yes! Not at all! Miss is one of a kind!" Lone Eagle quickly flattered.
His long, silent expression gradually softened.
...
When Su Miao went out the next day, she first ran into Chen Yueyin.
She has heard quite a bit about what has happened recently.
She couldn't help but lean closer to Su Miao and ask, "You really don't like my brother?"
Su Miao thought for a moment and said, "I don't like it, so what?"
