Chapter 249 I will never fall in love with Shen Chu
"Ah Chu, what are you thinking about? You have something to do tonight."
Seeing that Shen Chu was stunned and didn't speak, Li Chengxuan nudged her with his elbow.
Shen Chu snapped out of her reverie, recalling Pei Yuan's words about not liking children, and pursed her lips.
"No, it's okay, let's celebrate together tonight."
Pei Yuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on her, bringing her to her senses in time.
It's best to take this opportunity to keep your distance from Pei Yuan, lest you fall for him one day and find it difficult to extricate yourself.
Although she had made up her mind, she did not want Pei Yuan to notice anything amiss.
After finishing her shift, she still instructed Hongxiu to inform Pei Yuan of the Flying Eagle Guard.
After listening to Hongxiu's words, Pei Yuan frowned slightly and after a long while, he softly hummed in agreement.
What does "um" mean?
Hongxiu looked bewildered, glanced at the Sixth Prince's cold expression, and ultimately didn't dare to ask.
She carefully withdrew.
Outside, Sun Yan stood on the veranda with his arms crossed, looking at her with a melancholy expression.
Well, it seems the entire Sixth Prince's residence will be enjoying another potato shreds meal tonight.
He looked at Hongxiu with disappointment and frustration.
Have you read any storybooks?
Hongxiu: ? ? ?
Sun Yan rubbed his face, thinking to himself that this girl was really dull, and he wondered what it was about her that Master Shen saw in her.
He pointed to Hongxiu's belly and gave her earnest advice.
"Didn't you learn any of those stories where women use their unborn children to gain favor and keep men by their side?"
If you had just put in a little effort and used some tricks, Young Master Shen wouldn't have had to go out for social engagements.
That way, His Highness can have a happy dinner with Lord Shen.
Your Highness won't go and cut potato shreds anymore.
Hongxiu looked aggrieved, but the problem was that she wasn't actually pregnant.
Unfortunately, Sun Yan was oblivious to social cues and continued to plead with him earnestly.
"I'm doing this for your own good. If you really don't know how to win favor, I'll buy you a few storybooks tomorrow."
Like that kind of "Heart-Stealing Princess": the domineering prince dotes on her every night, and the one that was all the rage a while ago, yes, the delicate and soft imperial concubine who was kissed by the emperor until she cried every night.
There are plenty of tales about vying for favor in these two kinds of stories; you should study them carefully.
Sun Yan put in a lot of effort to avoid the potato shreds set meal.
Hongxiu's gaze toward him grew increasingly strange and terrified.
Unexpectedly, Commander Sun was actually a person who enjoyed reading erotic novels.
Those storybook titles alone don't sound like good books.
She stomped hard on Sun Yan's foot, then turned and ran away.
"rogue."
Sun Yan was in so much pain that he jumped up and down on the spot.
"You brat, you don't appreciate kindness."

After Shen Chu, Luo Heng, Li Chengxuan, and Zhou Jun finished their meal at Cyclamen Restaurant, the moon was already high in the sky.
Li Chengxuan helped the drunken Zhou Jun and called out to Shen Chu.
"A-Chu, you can ride back in my carriage. We'll take A-Jun home first, and then I'll take you back."
Luo Heng smiled and said, "I'll take A Chu home; I live closer to her."
Li Chengxuan looked at Shen Chu.
Chen Chu smiled and said, "It's not far from my home. You take Ah Jun home first, and my brother and I will go back together."
Li Chengxuan left with Zhou Jun.
Luo Heng turned his head, a smile in his eyes.
"The moon is beautiful tonight, why don't we take a walk back?"
Shen Chu had no objection.
The two walked side by side, and Luo Heng asked with concern, "You ate very little tonight, is something on your mind?"
Chen Chu shook her head. "No, my brother knows. I was poisoned, and I didn't have a good appetite to begin with."
Actually, she was somewhat absent-minded the whole time.
Seeing the food on the table, she couldn't help but think of Pei Yuan.
Luo Heng turned his head and looked at her intently.
“Ah Chu, you don’t necessarily have to take this path. After all, you are a woman. There are many factions in the court, and people are scheming against each other. People’s hearts are treacherous.”
If you get involved, it will definitely be very difficult. You might as well find a suitable opportunity to withdraw from the political arena.
If you want to leave, I can help you find a way.
After a moment of silence, Shen Chu nodded earnestly.
"I understand your good intentions, brother, and I will seriously consider what you said."
Luo Heng raised his hand and patted his shoulder, his smile gentle and bright.
"We've arrived at your house. Come in; you have to be on duty early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, brother, drive carefully too."
Shen Chu turned and left.
Luo Heng watched her retreating figure, his gaze suddenly sharpening as he glanced keenly at a shadowy spot before casually looking away.
“A-Chu”.
Shen Chu turned around. "Hmm? Is there something else, Big Brother?"
Luo Heng smiled and walked up to her, took off his cloak and draped it over Chen Chu.
"The night wind is chilly, be careful not to catch a cold. Here, wear my cloak."
Shen Chu shuddered and instinctively refused.
"No need, brother, I'm not cold."
Luo Heng pressed down on Chen Chu's wrist, his voice gentle yet firm, brooking no refusal.
“Listen to me, you are poisoned now and your body is weak. If you catch a cold, wouldn’t that make your elder brother worry?”
"Don't move, let me help you tie it."
Shen Chu felt a little uneasy, and only relaxed slightly after Luo Heng had tied it up.
"Thank you, brother."
"Okay, go back and get some rest."
"Brother, you should go back soon too."
Luo Heng nodded and turned to leave.
I sensed a fleeting, intense killing intent coming from a certain direction.
A strange smile involuntarily appeared on Luo Heng's lips.
If I'm not mistaken, the figure that flashed by in the corner should be Pei Yuan.
hehe.
His judgment was indeed correct.
Pei Yuan indeed had unusual feelings for Shen Chu.
Once Pei Yuan developed feelings, he had a weakness.
Luo Heng returned to Rongbaozhai and found Wanqiu there as well.
What brings you here?
Wanqiu smiled charmingly, "This servant has come to congratulate you on your promotion to the position of Director of the Ministry of Revenue. You are one step closer to Your Highness's plan."
"Once you, young master, have gathered enough power, you can personally avenge your enemies."
Luo Heng curled his lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"I suddenly changed my mind today. Perhaps the best way to get revenge is not to kill the enemy and make him suffer a fate worse than death. That might be more fun and interesting."
"Oh?" Wanqiu poured a glass of wine and handed it over.
"How does Young Master intend to make the Sixth Prince wish he were dead?"
Luo Heng sneered.
"The Sixth Prince fell in love with Shen Chu, and he struggled painfully because he loved a man."
If in the end he finds out that Shen Chu doesn't love him, do you think he will be in a lot of pain?
If Shen Chu does something to hurt him again, do you think he'll be even more miserable?
Wanqiu's expression changed slightly.
"Young Master intends to be with Shen Chu...? Since the Sixth Prince is so fond of Shen Chu, he must have something attractive about him."
"Young master, aren't you afraid you'll fall in love with Chen Chu?"
Luo Heng raised an eyebrow and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"Wanqiu, you underestimate your young master too much."
If it weren't for the Sixth Prince killing my father, I wouldn't have lived such a miserable life all these years, being bullied by everyone.
I swore an oath before my father's spirit that if I did not avenge him, I would be unworthy of being a son.
Over the years, I have endured so much hardship and put in so much effort to seek revenge. How could I possibly give up all my efforts because of one person?
Shen Chu and I are sworn brothers, and I don't want to hurt her, but I also won't let her interfere with my revenge plan, and I certainly won't fall in love with her.
Looking at Luo Heng's confident expression, Wanqiu felt a strange unease, not knowing why.
Will the young master really not fall in love with Shen Chu?
Meanwhile, as soon as Shen Chu entered the room, Pei Yuan jumped down from the wall and landed in front of her.
She looked up and saw a white cloak draped over Pei Yuan's arm.
Looking at the cloak Luo Heng was wearing, she suddenly felt a pang of panic.
