NOVPUBSeeing him, Shen Roujia couldn’t help but chuckle and motioned subtly for him to come over.
However, Zhang San hesitated, shrinking back slightly upon seeing Xiao Sinian nearby.
Shen Roujia sighed inwardly, feeling a bit frustrated with Zhang San’s timidity.
Xiao Sinian’s persistence was growing tiresome, and Shen Roujia couldn’t find a way to shake him off. “Alright, alright, if you’ve got things to do, just go ahead. Don’t worry about me!”
Xiao Sinian’s thoughts grew even more complicated. He subconsciously felt guilty for how he had treated Shen Roujia in the past and believed he needed to repay her in some way.
He quickly caught up with Shen Roujia again. “Let me come with you and see if there’s anything I can help with.”
Shen Roujia was so exasperated she was almost steaming with frustration. “Xiao Sinian, I’m begging you—keeping your distance from me would be the biggest help you could give!”
She stared at him with a serious expression, and Xiao Sinian’s heart ached with each word.
Shen Roujia turned and started walking upstairs, and Zhang San, understanding the situation, quickly followed her.
Xiao Sinian was left standing alone in the hall, feeling nostalgic for the days when Shen Roujia used to smile sweetly at him. He started to reflect on his past mistakes.
“How could I have been so blind? What wrongs did I commit to miss out on such a wonderful girl like Shen Roujia for so many years?”
Xiao Sinian lowered his head, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Shen Roujia had changed into new clothes and donned a mask under her veiled hat.
“San’er, let’s head to Glamorous Pavilion first.”
Zhang San nodded. “Yes, ma’am.”
Though Zhang San was a bit clumsy in build, he was undeniably reliable. Shen Roujia could trust him with many tasks.
