Su Chen felt a tightness in her chest after hearing this, but she didn't have many thoughts about it.
I had some insomnia that night.
【Su Chen, Su Chen~】System voice channel.
"What?" Su Chen opened her eyes.
"So you really weren't asleep. Are you worried that your big boss is getting all lovey-dovey with someone?" Ning Wu teased.
"No." Su Chen closed her eyes again.
Ningwu chuckled to himself in the space.
Should we tell her that Jun Mochen didn't stay overnight at all?
I think I'd better not tell her.
Su Chen didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was still dawn. She couldn't fall back asleep, so she put on her long robe and got up.
Looking at the pale crescent moon, I felt a pang of melancholy.
She didn't know if she liked the villainous boss or not, but she felt uncomfortable when he was with other people, and this discomfort seemed to disappear after a good night's sleep.
Maybe this isn't love at all? Or maybe I'm just a heartless person?
Perhaps of the seven emotions, she only had joy, anger, sorrow, fear, and aversion, but lacked love.
Su Chen opened the window and breathed in the fresh air, which made her feel much better.
A few days ago, peach trees were planted in the yard, but perhaps because they were planted too recently, they didn't produce a single flower bud when the flowering season arrived.
Su Chen felt surprisingly calm as she smelled the wood and pigeons.
Now that the male lead is back, the main quest might start tomorrow.
Early the next morning.
[Ding-dong: The original female lead committed suicide to escape an arranged marriage. The real female lead has transmigrated from the 21st century. Please pay close attention, host. (Hint: Promise me you'll get along well with the female lead, okay?)]
Su Chen, who hadn't slept much, was still undisturbed and her morning grumpiness was even worse.
He just sat on the bed without saying a word, his face all scrunched up.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Ningwu quickly advised, "Su Chen, it's quite easy to get along with the female lead. After all, she's your half-sister."
Su Chen glared at him and said, "Get lost."
【Alright.】 Ning Wu rolled away with exceptional agility. She had made up her mind that no matter how much Su Chen and Jun Mochen misunderstood each other, she wouldn't act as a peacemaker for them! Hmph!
It took Su Chen quite a while to recover from her negative emotions.
Unexpectedly, someone appeared who made her even more unhappy.
Su Chen didn't give the newcomer a friendly look, only giving a perfunctory bow before saying, "How could you bear to leave your comforting embrace so early in the morning?"
"Heh." Jun Mochen seemed quite pleased. "You didn't sleep well last night? Your eyes are all dark circles."
Su Chen shook her head, "No, no one was fighting with me for the blanket, I slept quite well."
"Heh, is that so?" Jun Mochen forced her to look up, his eyes seeming to see through everything.
Su Chen also raised her calm, expressionless eyes to look back at him.
In the end, Jun Mochen failed to see what he wanted to see in those eyes.
He frowned and said, "Women should not be jealous. If you commit any of the seven grounds for divorce, I can still demote you to a commoner and banish you from the palace."
Su Chen said expressionlessly, "Then Your Majesty should just demote me as soon as possible."
"Oh? You want to be expelled from the palace so badly? Do you know what will happen to the Ning family?" Jun Mochen smiled wickedly.
Su Chen thought to herself: As expected of a villain, threatening people's entire families at the drop of a hat. The key is that the threats are always on point.
To borrow a phrase from the domineering CEO: "What this man says is damnably useful!"
Su Chen stopped talking and didn't look at him, just went about her own business.
Recently, she got the Four Treasures of the Study (writing brush, ink stick, inkstone, and paper) to practice calligraphy, and finally managed to write characters that were so illegible that people could recognize them.
