As soon as Shen Changji said this, everyone around turned their attention to Su Miao.
Faced with everyone's gaze, Su Miao blushed and quickly lowered her head, feigning a shy and timid demeanor.
"Oh? Miao girl even gave a gift?" Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
After all, Shen Changji has a cold personality and is very difficult to get along with.
"Yes, I wonder if my brother likes the gift Miao'er gave me..." Su Miao said timidly, following up on Chen Changji's words.
She simply threw the topic back at this man.
Sitting to the side, Liu Muxuan knew that Su Miao's situation in the Duke's mansion was awkward.
He felt a pang of heartache seeing Su Miao instinctively clutch her dress and tremble as she spoke those words.
After all, Shen Changji was a seasoned veteran of many battles, and his every move carried a fierce aura. Su Miao, on the other hand, was a delicate young lady, so it was inevitable that they would be frightened.
"It's rare for Sister Miao'er to have such a kind heart. I'm sure Brother Shen will like it and understand her feelings!" Liu Muxuan chimed in from the side.
"Really? Then I'll take it as my brother really liking the gift I gave him."
Su Miao raised her face and stared straight at Chen Changji, a joyful smile appearing in her eyes.
Shen Changji looked at Su Miao with a cold gaze, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
Whenever he closes his eyes, he sees this bold woman writhing beneath him, pleasing him.
Her alluring charm and soft, fragrant body drew him into the turbulent sea of pleasure.
This woman is incredibly cunning!
Sitting next to Shen Changji, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but wonder what Su Miao had given her.
Adopting the demeanor of an elder sister-in-law, with a smile on her lips, she asked, "I wonder what Sister Miao'er has brought?"
"Naturally, it should be something that suits his tastes. If it weren't, Miao'er really wouldn't dare to give it! But if it's my brother who's being given something, I'm sure you don't have to worry too much. After all, my brother is the one he loves, and she's so dignified and virtuous! He'll like whatever you give him."
Su Miao smiled sweetly and said sincerely.
These words successfully pleased Liu Jiaojiao, and her smile deepened.
Seeing Liu Jiaojiao's appearance, Su Miao's lips curled slightly, and a hint of ambiguity flashed in her eyes.
"Alright, now that we've met, let's call it a day. Ah Xuan said he chartered a boat and planned to go boating."
"Jiaojiao, you and Ziji haven't seen each other for so long, you should have some fun." Old Mrs. Shen said in a clear voice.
Upon hearing this, Liu Muxuan's face immediately lit up with a smile.
“Then…” He couldn’t help but look at Su Miao.
Grandma Shen naturally understood what Liu Muxuan meant. These were all matters concerning the children, so she nodded in agreement.
With Grandma Shen's approval, Liu Muxuan couldn't sit still any longer and excitedly looked at Su Miao, saying, "Let's go! We'll go boating today!"
"Okay." Su Miao agreed readily without hesitation.
As soon as the four left, the second wife couldn't help but say, "I guess this girl's happy event is coming soon."
Liu Muxuan was a playboy and unruly man, but everyone could see how he treated Su Miao.
It's already quite good that he was able to turn over a new leaf like Su Miao, considering that Su Miao didn't come from a good background and marrying Liu Muxuan was considered a step up for her.
Upon hearing this, the third wife scoffed lightly.
Over the years, Su Miao had lived far away from the mansion and had a low status, so she had never paid her any attention.
If it weren't for Liu Muxuan's recent actions, she wouldn't have noticed how increasingly beautiful this girl had become, and she couldn't help but feel worried about her two daughters!
However, Old Mrs. Shen thought that after Su Miao married into the family, Shen Changji, as her brother-in-law, probably wouldn't have too difficult a life.
She was able to find a good marriage for Su Miao, which could be considered as repaying a debt of gratitude.
...
Having lived a secluded life in her boudoir for a long time, Su Miao's face turned pale shortly after boarding the ship, and she tried hard to suppress the turmoil in her heart.
When Liu Jiaojiao saw Su Miao's appearance, she realized that Su Miao was seasick.
"If Sister Miao'er can't take it, why don't you go back to your room to rest?"
Thinking of what Su Miao had said at the Shen residence, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards her.
"Alright then... Miao'er is the spoilsport."
As she spoke, Su Miao covered her chest with a handkerchief, looking uncomfortable, and let Tao'er help her up.
“Okay, I’ll tell Mu Xuan when he comes back from fishing. You should go back first!” Liu Jiaojiao was very considerate and dignified, leaving no room for criticism.
Su Miao nodded.
But as her clothes brushed past, Su Miao exerted a little force and hooked the full wine pot towards Chen Changji.
"Oh! Brother, Miao'er didn't mean it!" Su Miao exclaimed in shock, her face filled with bewilderment.
He raised his eyes, his expression clearly displeased.
"There are clothes provided in the side room, Chen Lang, go and change first, it wouldn't be good to catch a cold. I'm sure Sister Miao'er didn't mean it!" Liu Jiaojiao quickly came out to smooth things over when she saw this.
Her eyes revealed her concern for Chen Changji, and every move she made exuded the grace of a noblewoman.
Su Miao was feeling unwell, so she apologized a few times and then left hastily with Tao'er's help.
Liu Jiaojiao didn't think too much about it.
Shen Changji didn't have time to pursue the matter further; he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and go back to change his clothes.
But just as Shen Changji took off his clothes, a pair of hands wrapped around him from behind.
When her face pressed against his, the warmth of her breath touched his skin, and Su Miaojiao called out, "Brother."
