Before Brother Shen even reached the door, it started to rain heavily.
Yan Bao lowered his head and urged Brother Shen to hurry up.
In fact, he didn't need to urge him, Brother Shen was already running very fast, and the servants thought something had happened when they saw him.
Brother Shen asked the doorman to give him an umbrella, put Yan Bao in a place where he would not get wet, and patted his head: "Brother, I will go out to see how heavy the rain is. Can you wait here?"
Yan Bao nodded: [Hurry up, sister-in-law is outside! ]
Brother Shen didn't hesitate. He opened the door and went out. He saw a slender figure standing under a welcoming pine tree next to the Shen family. The wind blew her skirt, and the whole person looked like she was about to fly.
Xu Zhimo didn't expect her luck to be so bad that it rained.
She could only wait under the tree for the rain to stop.
Bang, bang, bang, the sound of heavy rain coming from the oil-paper umbrella, Xu Zhimo looked back and saw Chen Junfeng walking towards her with an oil-paper umbrella regardless of the wind and rain, and the heavy rain splashed the hem of his robe.
His shoes were covered in dirt and mud, but he walked towards her quickly.
The brim of the umbrella was slightly lifted, revealing a face as clear as the breeze and bright as the moon. A pair of deep and gentle eyes looked towards Xu Zhimo with a bit of worry and concern.
The umbrella covered her head, and her tall figure came with a bit of dampness, exuding a cold fragrance: "Miss Xu, why are you here? Are you here...to see me?"
Xu Zhimo nodded slightly, subconsciously keeping a distance from Shen Junfeng. She always felt that this distance was a bit oppressive, making her breathe nervously and dare not breathe heavily. "How did you know I was coming?"
"The doorman said so." Brother Shen certainly would not say that he heard Yan Bao's thoughts. This was his secret and he could not tell it.
Even she couldn't tell.
Brother Shen felt a little guilty, but still chose to keep it secret.
Xu Zhimo didn't think much about it. She was indeed here to see him. She didn't hesitate and said directly, "My father said that your family is planning to marry into the Xu family?"
Brother Shen nodded, his eyes a little shy: "I am Miss Xinyue."
Xu Zhimo's face flushed, and then she frowned. While stroking her beautiful face, she stared at Shen Junfeng: "Did Master Shen fall in love with this face? Or was he saved by me and had no choice?"
"I had no choice." Brother Shen denied it. He did it voluntarily and no one forced him.
Xu Zhimo laughed, "That's because I'm pretty, right?"
"Miss Xu is indeed beautiful and charming." Brother Shen's eyes fell uncontrollably on Xu Zhimo's bright and charming face with picturesque features. He had to admit that after she detoxified and lost weight, she was indeed beautiful and charming.
Xu Zhimo's face turned cold. "If you're attracted by this face, don't worry. You know what I looked like before. My face is only temporary. I will get older, uglier, and fatter. Don't be fooled by a face."
Big Brother Shen was anxious, his handsome eyebrows slightly knitted, and he hurriedly explained: "Miss Xu, you misunderstood. No matter what you become, I like you. I am not happy only because I see you like this now. In fact, I was already attracted to you before, but I was being watched at that time, so I didn't dare to implicate Miss Xu."
Xu Zhimo was dumbfounded: "???"
Does he know what he is saying?
She was so ugly before, not only him, but even she herself felt disgusted with her and wanted to be reborn again, yet he actually said that he liked her.
Is he an ugly person?
As for what Shen Junfeng said about being watched by someone, Xu Zhimo knew that it was the crazy princess.
Now that the eldest princess is dead, no one covets him anymore.
But thinking of the fate of the Shen family, Xu Zhimo didn't want to jump into the fire pit.
In her opinion, no matter how prosperous the Shen family seems now, it will only be a flash in the pan. In the end, the entire Shen family will be executed. Without the protection of the crazy princess, Shen Junfeng will also be beheaded this time.
Is she stupid to marry someone she knows has no future with?
If she were to live her life over again, Xu Zhimo wouldn't want to live such a miserable life.
"Mr. Shen's love is too much for me to bear. I hope you can take back your kindness and change your mind about the marriage." Xu Zhimo didn't look at Shen Junfeng, for fear that she would regret it.
Brother Shen's heart sank. It was impossible for him not to fight back.
He also felt hurt.
Looking at Xu Zhimo, who had made up her mind, he stammered, "Miss Xu, are you unwilling?"
Xu Zhimo clenched her fists secretly under his persistent gaze, trying not to reveal any other emotions. She only nodded coldly: "Yes. Sorry for disturbing you today, goodbye."
Seeing Xu Zhimo about to leave in the rain, Brother Shen pulled her sleeve and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Xu. If you don't want to, I won't force you. It's raining and dark, and I'm worried about you being alone. Let me take you back!"
Xu Zhimo was about to refuse, but Big Brother Shen forcefully said, "Don't worry, Miss Xu. I'm not the type to force you. I just want to send Miss Xu back. Even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still righteousness, right?"
Miss Xu was convinced and nodded slightly.
Brother Shen held up an oil-paper umbrella to shield Xu Zhimo. His shoulders and body were wet by the rain, but he seemed unaware of it and was only concerned about Xu Zhimo.
Neither of them spoke along the way, they just walked with their heads down.
The rain was coming down so hard that there weren't many people on the road, but there was a carriage, and the heavy rain made it hard to see the road, and it was almost rushing towards them.
When Brother Shen saw this, he immediately put his arm around Xu Zhimo's shoulders, holding her against his chest, and shielding her with his back.
Fortunately, the coachman stopped the carriage in time and avoided a carriage accident.
The driver was still frightened: "Sorry, sorry, are you okay? Don't walk in the middle of the road when it rains, it's easy to get into an accident."
Brother Shen nodded, his heart beating a little faster.
The protected Xu Zhimo not only smelled the cool fragrance of cedar on him, but also heard his heartbeat like a drum. Her forehead seemed to have his breath. When he turned around, his chin brushed against her eyebrows.
