NOVPUBXiao Sinian’s brows furrowed deeply, “When did I ever meddle in your affairs?”
Shen Roujia was even more puzzled, “Aren’t you and Gu Zhi in love with each other?”
Xiao Sinian was taken aback, “Are you misunderstanding something?”
Shen Roujia looked up at Xiao Sinian, confused, “Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?”
Xiao Sinian’s frown deepened, “Gu Zhi and I are just good friends. I see her as a brother.”
Alarm bells went off in Shen Roujia’s mind. What’s going on? Was there a mistake in the plot? Why is the storyline progressing so slowly? Haven’t these two started their relationship yet?
Shen Roujia felt a headache coming on. What now? Didn’t Gu Zhi show some affection for Xiao Sinian before?
Why haven’t they made any progress?
Ahhhh!!
Shen Roujia was about to go crazy. She glared at Xiao Sinian and then turned and ran away.
Xiao Sinian watched Shen Roujia’s retreating figure, feeling perplexed and lost in thought.
Shen Roujia ran back to her courtyard, feeling awful. When she saw Xu Zening leisurely turning around, her mood worsened.
Xiao Fu greeted her with a smile, “Your Highness, as you instructed, the jelly is ready. Please come and try it.”
Xu Zening was already holding a small bowl, savoring it. He even lifted the bowl to show Shen Roujia.
Feeling frustrated, Shen Roujia ran into the room, grabbed the jelly, and started eating it in big bites, completely forgetting to savor the taste.
Xu Zening couldn’t help but smile and glance at Xu Shiyi, who gently pushed his wheelchair next to Shen Roujia.
Shen Roujia waved her hand, “Xiao Fu, add more ice.”
Xu Zening immediately interjected, “Xiao Fu, don’t listen to her. Too much cold will make her sick.”
Shen Roujia looked up sharply, meeting Xu Zening’s gaze.
These men, wasting their good looks, were all so annoying.
Xiao Fu left the room, closing the door behind her.
Only Shen Roujia and Xu Zening remained in the room.
Xu Zening looked at Shen Roujia gently, smiling, “I see you’ve met Uncle.”
Shen Roujia froze, “You knew again?”
Xu Zening’s expression was indifferent, “You want to divorce me because of him, don’t you?”
This was too much! Shen Roujia blurted out, “Why are you adding to the chaos?”
She frowned, realizing she had spoken her true feelings out loud.
Xu Zening was also confused by her outburst, “What?”
Shen Roujia stood up, “It’s impossible between him and me, and it’s impossible between you and me too!”
She angrily turned, pushed aside the curtain, and ran into the inner room.
Shen Roujia, usually gentle and kind, rarely showed such anger. Xu Zening was curious and followed her, “Are you alright?”
Shen Roujia’s muffled voice came, “Leave me alone!”
Xu Zening paused and decided to leave her be.
The sound of his wheelchair gradually faded away.
Shen Roujia threw the pillow aside, “When will these days end?”
Meanwhile, in the Morning Glow Palace.
“What did you say? You saw them?”
The little maid bowed her head deeply, “Your Grace, I saw Prince Xiao and the Crown Princess talking privately for a long time.”
Consort Shu seemed much thinner. She glared, “What were they talking about?”
The little maid shook her head, “I didn’t hear.”
Consort Shu slammed the table, making the maid tremble.
“Useless!”
Xu Lianggen walked in unhurriedly from outside, “Mother, you should focus on Father Emperor now.”
