When Su Miao woke up again, everything around her was unfamiliar.
Even the decorations were completely unfamiliar; she had almost never seen her room look like this before…
Memories from before she fell into a deep sleep rushed back to her, prompting her to sit up immediately.
As soon as she moved, there was a response from outside the door.
Because there were no lights on in the room, the light that shone in when the door was pushed open was a bit dazzling for Su Miao.
Although she couldn't see the other person's face, Su Miao could already guess who it was from the chilling fragrance wafting over her.
"A long silence... what do you mean?"
Su Miao looked at the chain fastened to her other ankle, and her expression instantly turned displeased.
Are they going to lock her up here?
Shen Changji's expression remained unchanged. He held the brewed medicine, blew on it, and then brought it to her lips.
Su Miao turned her face away, her eyes filled with disgust.
Shen Changji raised an eyebrow, patiently saying, "Drink it."
"I won't drink it! Unless you let me leave!"
She was extremely angry and upset.
She hadn't told anyone what her next plan was, but Shen Changji noticed something amiss...
Shen Changji placed his hands on either side of her waist, leaned closer, and stared into her eyes. "Do you hate me that much?"
"Yes! I want to go back."
Su Miao reiterated this point.
He... he's a madman!
"Wait a little longer, and I'll let you out."
Shen Changji once again brought the medicine to her lips.
Although his ankles were locked, his hands could still move.
Su Miao forcefully ripped it open.
A crisp breaking sound echoed throughout the room.
Su Miao: "Why bother?"
He remained silent for a long time: "I will not let you leave me."
Su Miao, from the moment you hooked up with me, you should have been prepared for this.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. You think you can just hook up with him and then run away?
Su Miao: "Chen Changji, would you really be willing to have someone who hates you by your side?"
He remained silent for a long time: "As long as it's you, I'm willing."
Su Miao: "..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Changji grabbed her knee with one hand, pulling her closer suddenly, which made Su Miao frown.
His hand moved up from her knee, forcing Su Miao's body to flinch and causing her to breathe heavily.
"Hate?"
His deep, quiet voice was close to her ear.
Su Miao bit her lip, her eyes reddening.
A few minutes later, Shen Changji forced her to look.
Su Miao felt uncomfortable with the temperature and bit his finger tightly.
"They're definitely more honest here."
He withdrew his hand in silence.
Su Miao's eyes welled up with tears as she tried to control the trembling in her voice.
"Silence... I hate you."
Looking at her like this, Shen Changji pressed his lips and scoffed softly.
——
The room was dark, but it was enough to see the passion in their eyes.
Su Miao wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his shoulder; if you looked closely, you could see that her arms were trembling.
Those emotions, both overt and covert, were directly released.
Shen Changji wrapped his arms around Su Miao's waist, and a clinking sound came from her ankles.
He could clearly feel Su Miao's scalding tears streaming down his Adam's apple.
"Su Miao, you can even cry for someone you hate."
Upon hearing this, Su Miao cried even harder.
Shen Changji grabbed her waist and picked her up.
Right now, she couldn't think straight. The overwhelming sense of oppression and climax made her feel like a dying fish, which allowed her to briefly forget her unhappiness.
——
Shen Changji cleaned Su Miao up before leaving, and before he left, he instructed Fang Xing to keep a close eye on her.
Wait a little longer...
If she just waits patiently, he will be able to marry her.
No sooner had Shen Changji left than Meng Ying received news that Shen Changji wanted to see her.
Although she knew that General Shen was always intelligent, she did not expect him to be... much more intelligent than she had imagined.
She wanted to discuss a collaboration with him.
Meng Ying didn't see Shen Changji often; if Shen Changji didn't want to see her, she wouldn't see him at all.
Meng Ying quickly went to keep the appointment.
However... she didn't expect that Shen Changji would only give her some material things.
Meng Ying looked at the man in front of her and smiled, "General Shen, my purpose is very clear. I don't really want these material possessions."
What I've always wanted—is to marry into the Duke's family.
She doesn't mince words.
"I've already said, I don't care who General Shen likes, as long as I can marry into his family. Otherwise... I wouldn't have told you that Princess Su wanted to run away!"
Meng Ying looked at the silent man before her with amusement in her eyes.
"Miss Meng, know when to stop. Don't blame me for not warning you," Chen Changji said coldly.
"In that case, General Shen, please reconsider. I look forward to seeing you again."
Without hesitation, Meng Ying left with her maid.
Money and real estate are not things that can solve her problems.
...
Madam Xie Lin was very fond of Su Miao, and in order to get Su Miao to marry into the family, she went to find Xie Qin early in the morning.
"Oh dear, it's rare that Miao'er is also interested in you. Why don't you go and make your way to her?" Xie Linshi advised.
Xie Qin hadn't slept all night and had just taken a short nap when she was woken up by her mother.
"Mother, I understand."
"If you know, then go. Young ladies need to be careful! Don't let some other young man beat you to it!" Xie Linshi added.
"clear."
Madam Xie Lin knew that Xie Qin wasn't a blockhead, so she was somewhat relieved.
