His long, silent breath suddenly tightened, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his thin lips were pressed tightly together in a suppressed manner.
Su Miao, seemingly oblivious to the danger, gently touched his neck with her soft lips, her fingertips slipping lightly inside his robes...
In no time, a large portion of his muscular chest was exposed.
Thinking of how Su Miao had avoided him today, Shen Changji couldn't help but tighten his grip on her waist.
His large hand traced upwards along Su Miao's waistline, his voice seductive, "How will you beg?"
Upon hearing Shen Changji's words, Su Miao knew that this man was interested.
She raised an eyebrow, her other hand lingering on Shen Changji's belt without immediately undoing it, and asked slowly, "How does brother want me to beg?"
His breathing became heavier, his eyes darkened, and his gaze swept over her undulating breasts.
He turned his head away, refusing to look at her.
"No need to beg."
Upon hearing this, Su Miao's eyes flashed with surprise, and she could hardly believe her ears.
"It seems my brother wants to take me along too."
She couldn't help but chuckle softly, her hands becoming even more restless.
The man grabbed her flailing hands and his deep voice rang out again, "Because begging is useless."
A simple sentence shattered her illusions.
Su Miao's smile remained unchanged as she nestled in Shen Changji's arms and said sweetly, "Brother is so heartless; he rejected me outright."
“So you can go back to bed now, you don’t need to waste your time on me,” Shen Changji said.
"Brother, are you really not going to reconsider?" Su Miao asked again.
"No, I'm going back."
His deep, cold voice carried an irresistible tone.
"Brother..." Su Miao said softly again.
"go back!"
He still hasn't given in.
Su Miao gritted her teeth, got off Shen Changji, and couldn't help but curse the man under her breath!
He's definitely impervious to both soft and hard approaches!
Su Miao left without even turning her head.
Standing outside the door, Lone Eagle was even more surprised that Su Miao came out so quickly.
After all... usually their master would linger with Miss Biao for quite a while!
Could it be that the two of them had a fight?
Lone Eagle couldn't help but glance in Su Miao's direction a few times.
Have you seen enough?
A deep, resonant voice came from behind, and Lone Eagle was almost startled to the point of falling to his knees.
"No, I wouldn't dare!" He quickly turned around and said respectfully.
"You should also go back to bed. We'll be setting off tomorrow," Chen Changji said calmly.
"good!"
When Su Miao returned to her room, Tao'er had already made up her bed.
"So? Is the eldest young master still not giving in?"
"right!"
"Just as we thought! Let's go to bed!" Tao'er said frankly.
Su Miao agreed and went to bed unusually well-behaved that night.
Tao'er blew out the candle for Su Miao and went back to her room to sleep without disturbing Su Miao any further.
...
The next morning, Shen Changji got up half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
Lone Eagle instantly understood why his master had made him go to bed early last night.
So that's where they were lying in ambush!
After finishing his breakfast, Shen Changji gestured with his eyes towards the men's clothing on the table.
"Take it to her."
The Lone Eagle knew who "she" was as soon as he heard it.
His master is just a hypocrite; every time he says something, it's the opposite of what he really means!
"I'll go and deliver it to Miss Biao right away! Miss Biao's medical skills are superb, and having another person with you is an extra layer of protection. I understand! I'm sure Miss Biao will be happy to hear that!" Lone Eagle said in a very glib manner.
His master wasn't reluctant to part with his cousin; he just wanted her to help out because she knew medicine!
He understands!
Some things are better left unsaid; it's something he's learned recently!
After saying that, Lone Eagle quickly delivered the items to the next room.
However, Su Miao had gone out to buy things early in the morning, so Gu Ying had no choice but to leave the things in her room and then go back to tell Shen Changji.
"The maids said that Miss Biao went out to shop a long time ago and they don't know when she will return, but I have already left the things with her," Lone Eagle reported truthfully.
Go out to buy some?
Is it a genuine purchase or is there some ulterior motive?
He remained silent and didn't pay much attention.
When the time came, he boarded the carriage.
They thought they would see Su Miao waiting inside when they lifted the curtain, but to their surprise, the carriage was empty, and Su Miao was nowhere to be seen!
He frowned slightly, his heart feeling inexplicably empty.
Did this woman really go shopping?
Shen Changji couldn't help but lift the curtain and peek outside.
"Ziji, is there something you forgot to bring?" Old Mrs. Shen met his gaze and asked with a kind smile.
"No, everything is ready. Grandmother is very kind," he said calmly.
That's what they say, but Chen Changji's heart doesn't think so.
"That's good, be careful on the road!" Grandma Shen reminded her again.
"good!"
After bidding farewell to Old Madam Shen, Shen Changji's carriage slowly began to move.
It wasn't until they had walked quite a distance from the Duke's mansion that Lone Eagle couldn't help but ask, "Master, Miss Biao is indeed still making purchases. Should I bring her along...?"
If their master so desires, they can take Miss Biao away right now!
After all, it's not inside the Duke's mansion anymore, so it's quite easy to make a move!
"Need not."
A long, silent, and cold refusal.
Lone Eagle wanted to say something more, but when he saw Chen Changji's gaze, he swallowed his words.
His deep, silent eyes were cold and gloomy as he raised his hand and pulled the curtain down.
