At the restaurant, Liu Jiaojiao specifically chose a seat by the window.
She fiddled with the hairpins in the box, a smile spreading across her face.
"Chen Lang, look, which one looks better, this one or this one?" Liu Jiaojiao asked, taking out two cigarettes.
Shen Changji glanced at them and said indifferently, "They all look good."
"That's right, everything Shenlang helped me pick out was beautiful! From now on, every time I see you, I'll wear a new one! Even after our wedding, you'll still treat me this well, right?"
Upon hearing the words "wedding," Shen Changji paused slightly in his hand, which was fiddling with the jade thumb ring, but quickly responded.
Yes, it will.
Hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao was very satisfied.
"Miss, sir, please have some tea."
Cui'er lowered her head and brought over the brewed tea.
But just as she placed the tea in front of Shen Changji, Shen Changji noticed the scars on Cui'er's hands.
He frowned slightly. "What happened to your maid's hand? It looks like it's been burned."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao's smile froze instantly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Cui'er was careless the other day and accidentally burned herself," Liu Jiaojiao said casually.
Upon hearing this, Cui'er quickly withdrew her hand, pretending that nothing was wrong.
"Yes! It was my carelessness. Miss treated me very well and even gave me... Jade Face Cream."
Cui'er's words pleased Liu Jiaojiao.
"Good Cui'er, it's just the Jade Complexion Cream. Use it as you like, don't be reluctant, otherwise I'll feel bad, after all, you've served me for so many years. If you had used it earlier, this injury would have healed long ago," Liu Jiaojiao said again.
"Yes...yes! This servant will use it in a moment." Cui'er heard Liu Jiaojiao's words and cold sweat began to seep out on the back of her neck, and half of her scalp tingled.
"You still treat your servants so well."
He picked up the teacup in a deep silence and said calmly.
"Those who serve me are all young ladies, and I am a young lady myself, so naturally I will treat other young ladies better. Don't say I'm biased!" Liu Jiaojiao said reproachfully.
"Um."
"But I still want to thank you, Shen Lang. Thank you for saying a few words for Mu Xuan in front of the palace. Now he is becoming more and more different and capable of shouldering important responsibilities. He is so busy that he is nowhere to be seen."
"It's nothing. It was just a small favor. He's a promising talent," Shen Changji said.
Upon hearing this, Lone Eagle, seeing Shen Changji's upright and gentlemanly demeanor, quickly averted his gaze, afraid that he might burst out laughing.
Although his master didn't explicitly say it, he had been by his master's side for so many years, how could he not understand what his master meant by this little trick!
If this young master Liu isn't busy, he'll be going to find Miss Biao!
My master is full of wicked schemes!
But Liu Jiaojiao didn't notice anything amiss; instead, a shy smile appeared on her face.
“Chen Lang, I know you’re treating us like family.”
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Lone Eagle and Fang Xing exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying their unspoken message.
Shen Changji put down his tea and glanced out the window.
Upon closer inspection, Su Miao's figure came into view.
Today she was different from usual, wearing a pomegranate red patterned light dress, with light makeup, and her figure was graceful.
She already had fair skin, and now, wearing a brightly colored dress and with a touch of rouge on her lips, she appeared even more charming and alluring, adding to her allure.
Her gentle smile was even more captivating.
At the same time that Shen Changji saw it, Liu Jiaojiao also noticed it.
She had to admit that Su Miao was indeed very beautiful.
She rested her chin on her hand, her gaze sweeping over Su Miao, her words carrying a hidden meaning.
"Sister Su is indeed a beauty. What do you say, Chen Lang?"
Shen Changji said calmly, "The two younger sisters in the third branch of the family are not bad either."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao understood the meaning behind Chen Changji's words.
He only treated Su Miao as his younger sister, no different from the two from the third wife's side.
"Someone as beautiful as Sister Su would probably be liked by many men, right?"
When Liu Jiaojiao said this, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Changji a few times.
He remained expressionless and casually uttered two words.
"I don't know."
That being said, Chen Changji couldn't help but glance at her twice, his gaze landing on the brightly colored dress.
That's too flashy!
Seeing Shen Changji's indifferent reaction, Liu Jiaojiao felt somewhat satisfied. She smiled through her handkerchief and remained silent.
But when she looked down again, her gaze met Su Miao's.
She waved to Su Miao in a very open and generous manner.
Su Miao understood and went to the restaurant after buying the items.
As soon as she appeared, it was obvious that Liu Jiaojiao moved closer to Shen Changji, appearing very intimate.
Su Miao couldn't help but smile as she looked at Liu Jiaojiao, recalling the man's wicked gaze last night.
"Sister Su, it's been so long! I was just chatting with Chen Lang about what kind of man you would like!"
"Oh? Then did you tell me what kind of man I like, brother?"
Su Miao looked at Shen Changji, sat down opposite him, and smiled gently.
He looked at her silently, his eyes darkening.
I thought that a glimpse through the window would be enough to amaze Su Miao.
But when she sat down opposite me, she was as radiant as a spring flower, exuding captivating charm.
Liu Jiaojiao continued Su Miao's words, "Shen Lang didn't say, but if you like any type of girl, Su Meimei, you can tell me and I can introduce you to some people around me."
The people around you?
Su Miao glanced at Shen Changji a few more times, her smile undiminished.
She did indeed take a liking to the person next to Liu Jiaojiao.
