NOVPUBIt wasn’t until a screen gradually came into view that she realized there was a large platform behind it. Shen Roujia then noticed someone sitting behind the screen.
The person was lazily fanning themselves, reclining leisurely on a bench.
Shen Roujia inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
“Alliance Leader, may I ask why you called me here...?”
Before Shen Roujia could finish speaking, a light laugh came from behind the screen.
“Naturally, it’s to marry you.”
The clear voice was like a stream flowing over silk strings, and Shen Roujia couldn’t believe her ears when she heard it.
She dropped the veil she was holding and rushed behind the screen in just a few steps. When she saw who it was, she was both hesitant and overjoyed.
“Xu Zening, how could it be you?”
As soon as she shouted, Xu Zening slowly stood up.
Shen Roujia, still in disbelief, stammered, “Your… your legs...” 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Xu Zening had always been handsome, though he had appeared weak and sickly before, with soft and delicate features that lacked any hint of aggression.
But now, upon closer inspection, his sword-like eyebrows and extraordinary temperament made him the epitome of a heroic male lead.
With his tragic past and multiple identities, how could he still be considered a minor character who had exited the stage?
Shen Roujia could hardly believe her eyes and cautiously asked, “Are you really Xu Zening?”
She looked at his face with some suspicion, worried that it might be someone else in disguise.
Xu Zening couldn’t quite tell if Shen Roujia was happy or upset. He had no choice but to follow her lead, replying slowly, “My legs were healed by the Divine Doctor long ago. It’s just that many things happened afterward, and I never found the right moment to reveal it.”
Shen Roujia understood well that in the complexity of the royal court, it was impossible to completely trust anyone, no matter how close they seemed.
Even someone as adaptable as Shen Roujia took a moment to accept this revelation.
