NOVPUBXu Ruoru had barely finished speaking when she smiled and said, “I’ll let you think it over, but you can’t leave White Stone Academy.”
She waved her hand, signaling a few people to keep an eye on Shen Roujia.
Then she turned and left.
Shen Roujia looked at the stern-faced, dark-skinned men standing guard outside, feeling rather helpless as she turned back into the room.
Thankfully, they remained outside to keep watch.
Shen Roujia, deep in thought, noticed the little chubby boy nearby.
At this point, no one knew where Shen Roujia was, and only Gu Zhi and Zhang San knew of her identity as Jia Shen.
Pulling the chubby boy aside, Shen Roujia asked, “Could you do a favor for your teacher?”
The little chubby boy left, but three days passed, and he hadn’t returned. Shen Roujia grew increasingly anxious.
Could something have happened to him? She had asked him to deliver a message to Gu Zhi, yet there was no response.
Shen Roujia paced back and forth.
On the fifth day, Xu Ruoru returned. “Teacher Jia Shen, have you made up your mind?”
Shen Roujia’s eyes were bloodshot, as if she had gone through significant emotional turmoil.
Xu Ruoru, like someone eyeing her prized possession, paid no mind to Shen Roujia’s distress.
“The Princess’ Residence has already been prepared. Let’s get married as soon as possible.”
Shen Roujia let out a bitter laugh. “Princess, fine, do as you wish.”
Xu Ruoru, beaming with joy, linked her arm with Shen Roujia’s.
But by this point, Shen Roujia had already begun planning her escape.
The Jia Shen identity would most likely be unusable from now on.
