Su Miao's breath hitched, her eyes became somewhat complicated, and her mind went blank.
But in her memory, she had almost no recollection of Chang Ji...
Su Miao clutched the handkerchief tightly, her heart already in turmoil, like a tangled net that was difficult to untangle, making it hard for her to breathe.
She couldn't even believe that the man she had unintentionally saved years ago was actually Shen Changji.
No wonder... he said those things to himself.
Su Miao felt uneasy.
Seeing Su Miao's conflicted expression, Xie Qin couldn't help but tentatively ask in a soft voice.
"Miao'er, you like Ziji, don't you..."
"I……"
"Ziji said your attitude towards him has changed. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because of your health, right? So you want to distance yourself from him and leave him, is that right?"
If she didn't like it, Su Miao wouldn't have considered all that.
It was precisely because she liked him that she used a hostile attitude to make Shen Changji hate her and make him take back his feelings for her.
Knowing that her time was running out, she didn't want to get entangled with her any further.
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
They didn't have any results...
Rather than being discovered by Shen Changji, she would rather he forget her and be with other noble ladies.
Before Xie Qin came to see Su Miao, he heard his mother tell him that there was hope for his marriage to Su Miao.
It's likely that Old Madam Shen told Su Miao about what happened yesterday, and Su Miao used this as a pretext to distance herself from Shen Changji.
But she probably didn't expect that Shen Changji's feelings for her were more than just a little.
Upon hearing Xie Qin's words, Su Miao suddenly fell silent and unconsciously avoided his gaze.
yes.
She admitted that she had indeed fallen for the silence...
Love arises without warning, and deepens with time.
Before she knew it, she too had become addicted to it...
Seeing Su Miao's dazed expression, Xie Qin said, "Zi Ji is doing well. Perhaps there is a way to cure the poison in your body."
Upon hearing this, Su Miao turned to look at him, a glimmer of light appearing in her bewildered eyes.
...
When Shen Changji returned to the Duke's mansion, he heard a lot of rumors.
It's basically that Su Miao admits she likes Xie Qin and also has the idea of marrying into the Xie family.
Shen Changji's face darkened, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
The lone eagle stood to the side, not daring to say a word.
After all, this is a sensitive topic...
As soon as Shen Changji entered the study, Fang Xing brought him a note.
"Master, someone has come to deliver a message."
Shen Changji glanced at the note and took it.
When he saw that line of text, his anger deepened.
Where is Su Miao now?
"Ah? Of course, Miss is in her own residence." Lone Eagle was a little confused by the question.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changji crumpled the paper in his hand and strode out.
Just then, Su Miao saw Xie Qin off, and Tao'er came in with tea. She saw Su Miao sitting in the main seat and felt very uncomfortable.
“Miss, the master asked me to tell you… it can be arranged at any time.”
Upon hearing this, Su Miao gave a soft "hmm".
"You can go down now, I'll rest for a while."
"good."
Tao'er was a little worried, but she had no choice but to leave first.
After the person left, Su Miao opened the box, took out the contents, and put them into another box.
At this moment, Su Miao was still unaware that something was wrong.
When Tao'er saw Shen Changji approaching with a gloomy expression, she wanted to inform him, but was stopped by Guying.
Lone Eagle gave her a look, and Peach had no choice but to shut up.
Su Miao heard footsteps and assumed it was Tao'er coming, so she didn't pay much attention.
When she had almost finished tidying up the things in front of her, she turned around and met Shen Changji's dark eyes, and her blood froze instantly.
Shen Changji looked at the things on her table and sneered.
It seems she really intends to run away.
He had vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Su Miao a while ago, but he didn't expect... she really was acting strangely.
Shen Changji's face grew increasingly gloomy, his gaze complex, as he approached Su Miao.
Su Miao met his long, silent gaze.
Those deep black eyes stared intently at her, making her feel a little uneasy.
She tried to back away, but the next moment, Shen Changji grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him with considerable force.
"Trying to run?"
He was always measured in his actions and rarely got angry.
He held Su Miao tightly in his arms, gripping the back of her head firmly, his expression tense.
"Why do you want to leave me? Is it because of Xie Qin? Is he going to marry you? Or is it to have Mo Lin help you run away?"
His voice was deep and resonant, and a faint, almost imperceptible flame flickered in his eyes.
But it is often precisely because of this that he is so terrifying.
Su Miao's eyes were red, and she was no better off than Chen Changji.
"Looks like I've been too lenient with you?"
She really would cooperate with Pei Yu because of him.
Now that this matter is almost over, she's pretty much planning to leave him!
A long silence fell over him, and a strange tightness gripped his chest. Rage and jealousy continued to consume his reason.
He finally managed to meet her, but she was separated from him by another man!
It was a dead man who wanted to leave him!
Is his silence even less than that of a dead person?
He found it utterly ridiculous!
He choked back a sob, and tightened his grip on Su Miao's hand slightly.
"Silent silence... please don't be like this..."
Upon hearing this, anger welled up in Shen Changji's eyes, and he exuded a dangerous aura.
Ask him to let her go? Never in this lifetime!
Just as Su Miao was about to say something, her vision went black, and she fell directly into Chen Changji's arms.
