Chapter 8 Deliberate Provocation



Shen Changji never expected Su Miao to be so reckless!

Openly provoking him!

The rubbing against each other through the clothes made Shen Changji feel inexplicably hot, and his eyes were filled with a deep gloom.

His dark eyes looked at Su Miao with a hint of warning and danger.

Sitting next to him, Liu Jiaojiao noticed Shen Changji's mood and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Shen Lang, since Ah Xuan has this intention, let him be."

Besides, I like Miao'er too, and as a young lady, it won't hurt her to have more dresses."

In Liu Jiaojiao's view, it was normal that Shen Changji, who had been living on the frontier for many years, did not understand women's affairs.

Su Miao is well-liked by her younger brother, and she doesn't mind being a good person.

After all, the Duke's mansion wasn't as peaceful as she had imagined. She hadn't married into it yet and didn't want to make too many enemies, so she tried to win over as many as possible.

If she marries into the family, she needs to be even more careful.

Upon hearing Liu Jiaojiao's words, a smug and cunning glint flashed in Su Miao's lowered eyes.

Everything was pretty much as she had expected.

Thinking about it, Su Miao became even more unrestrained, teasing the fierce guy with her toes.

His deep, silent eyes grew increasingly somber.

He looked at Liu Jiaojiao, scoffed softly, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "You are indeed kind."

When Shen Changji raised his eyes, he could see Su Miao's gaze sweeping over him.

The flame in my heart burned ever brighter...

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao covered her face with her handkerchief and smiled, saying, "Shen Lang is joking."

However, it cannot be denied that Liu Jiaojiao is known for being well-educated and reasonable, as well as for being very kind, and she would give warmth to those poor, homeless young women.

Because Liu Jiaojiao felt that since she was a woman, it would be more appropriate for her to personally help girls.

Upon hearing their conversation, Liu Muxuan stopped being angry; at least he was certain the clothes would be given to Miao'er!

It was a rare opportunity for Liu Jiaojiao and Shen Changji to meet, so he had no intention of ruining the atmosphere.

"Serve the food!" Liu Muxuan ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants and maids brought over the prepared dishes.

Tao'er couldn't help but glance at her young mistress a few more times.

It has to be said that with just a few words from Miss Fanghua Pavilion, she was able to make a fortune!

After all, a dress isn't cheap!

And Shen Changji actually stayed for a whole year!

With the help of Liu Jiaojiao and Liu Muxuan, the money went into Su Miao's pocket, and the clothes also ended up in her possession!

Su Miao didn't lose out at all in this round!

Su Miao was in a very good mood at this moment, and in retaliation, she kicked Shen Changji hard with her foot.

He breathed heavily, his breath caught in his throat, and reached out to firmly grip her foot.

Su Miao tried to pull her foot away, but Shen Changji pinched it hard on the sole.

The pain made Su Miao gasp instantly, and her expression immediately became uneasy.

What a cruel attack!

Liu Muxuan, who was standing next to her, noticed Su Miao's expression and, remembering that Su Miao had just recovered from seasickness, quickly asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No...no!"

Shen Changji's expression was cold and ruthless, his sharply defined face devoid of any emotion, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

But only Su Miao knew how calm this man appeared on the surface, but how ruthless he was under the table!

The pain was so bad that she felt like her feet didn't even belong to her!

"Is your foot uncomfortable?" Liu Jiaojiao asked, unable to resist looking under the table.

Just then, Shen Changji released Su Miao.

Su Miao quickly pulled her foot back.

Seeing her flustered movements, a hint of amusement flashed in Shen Changji's eyes.

"No, it's just that the boat is rocking a bit, and my chest feels a little uncomfortable," Su Miao quickly replied.

Liu Jiaojiao and Liu Muxuan exchanged a glance and decided to have their dinner while docking.

By the time we were almost ashore, we had finished most of our dinner.

Four people shared a carriage. After sending Liu Jiaojiao and Liu Muxuan back, only Shen Changji and Su Miao remained in the carriage.

Looking at his deep, cold, and aloof demeanor, Su Miao couldn't help but soften her voice.

"It hurt so much, brother."

She gently grasped the long, silent sleeve, her voice sweet and gentle, with a hint of coquetry.

"Give me the stuff."

His long, silent words were cold, and his gloomy eyes were filled with chill.

He didn't want to waste too much time talking to Su Miao, because if he said too much, she would only take advantage of him!

"Oh? Something?" Su Miaoming's bright eyes flickered, and she raised an eyebrow slightly.

She calmly took out the string of Buddhist prayer beads from her bosom and waved it in front of Shen Changji.

"Is this it, brother?"

Su Miao leaned against Shen Changji, exhaling a soft breath, her watery eyes fixed on him, full of alluring charm.

Just as Shen Changji was about to take it, Su Miao beat him to it.

Su Miao tossed the string of Buddhist prayer beads directly into her collar.

"Su Miao!"

Oops, my hand slipped!

As Chen Changji looked through the prayer beads, he happened to catch a glimpse of spring in full bloom.

Its impressive features make one unable to resist the urge to peer inside and plunder it!

His deep, silent breath hitched, his face darkened, a hint of desire flickering within, like a wild beast lurking within, ready to attack and devour at any moment.

He grabbed Su Miao's chin and pulled her close, his voice husky: "You deliberately provoked me, do you know what the consequences will be?"
