NOVPUBXiao Sinian smiled lightly, “No.” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Shen Roujia stepped forward, not wanting to engage with him, but Xiao Sinian’s smile faded, as if he had different intentions.
“Shen Roujia, what are you avoiding?”
Shen Roujia’s steps halted abruptly, her mind racing as she analyzed her situation.
Could it be that Xiao Sinian had actually discovered something?
Her heart pounded, but she stubbornly retorted, “Xiao Sinian, if you’re done making trouble, go back. I don’t have time for your nonsense.”
Xiao Sinian stared intently at Shen Roujia, “I heard you want to divorce the Crown Prince?”
Shen Roujia’s heart tightened, “How do you know that?”
Xiao Sinian smugly raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer, his tone serious, “What do I, Xiao Sinian, not know?”
Shen Roujia pouted, “What does it matter to you? Move, I’m leaving.”
Xiao Sinian helplessly grabbed Shen Roujia’s arm, “You used to pester me constantly. Now that it’s just the two of us, why are you acting so strong?”
Shen Roujia was baffled. Man, are you overconfident?
She shook off Xiao Sinian’s hand, “Show some respect. First, you’re a thing of the past to me. Second, if you’re so idle, why not study military formations?”
Xiao Sinian was about to speak, but Shen Roujia interrupted again, “Most importantly, don’t disappoint the person in front of you!”
Seeing Shen Roujia’s serious expression, Xiao Sinian’s demeanor returned to normal.
He even sounded a bit regretful, “Heh, it seems you really have changed…”
Xiao Sinian looked at Shen Roujia seriously, as if contemplating for an eternity.
His voice was steady and compelling, but it failed to move Shen Roujia, “You once said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with marriage. Does that still count?”
Shen Roujia paused. What kind of promise had the original Shen Roujia made?
“Huh? When did I say that?”
Xiao Sinian smiled, “You asked me to repay your life-saving grace when you grew up.”
Shen Roujia suddenly remembered. The original Shen Roujia must have lost her memory and forgotten her childhood shared with Xiao Sinian.
She scoffed, “Xiao Sinian, are you morally blackmailing me with something I’ve forgotten?”
Shen Roujia silently rejoiced at her quick response.
But Xiao Sinian was left a bit embarrassed.
This was his first time lowering his status to seek out Shen Roujia, but he hadn’t expected this outcome.
A year ago, Shen Roujia would have been overjoyed to see Xiao Sinian’s sudden change in attitude.
Shen Roujia felt a tinge of sadness for the original Shen Roujia. Why did Xiao Sinian only realize her worth after she truly left?
She didn’t understand why she felt this way, but looking at Xiao Sinian, she saw him as a scoundrel.
Xiao Sinian slowly spoke, “You may say that, but you are still you. That cannot change.”
Shen Roujia was furious, pointing at herself, “You have no options? I’m the one with no options!”
Xiao Sinian frowned, becoming somewhat unreasonable, “You said those words. You have to be responsible for what you said.”
Shen Roujia cursed him as a scoundrel in her heart.
She took a deep breath and mockingly said, “Xiao Sinian, are you trying to ruin my relationship with Gu Zhi?”
