NOVPUBShen Roujia didn’t pay much attention to Xu Zening’s actions afterward, but through the people around her, she learned that Wen Surong and the others had safely left.
Only then did Shen Roujia feel at ease.
She was ready to settle down and rest well for a while.
However, during these days, Xu Zening suddenly started taking Shen Roujia to choose an auspicious date.
“What are you up to now?”
Xu Zening looked at Shen Roujia seriously, then slowly explained, “I need to find a way to make up for the wedding you missed.”
Shen Roujia was slightly taken aback. “Huh?”
Xu Zening glanced at the list of auspicious dates. The nearest and best day was more than a month away.
His expression still seemed a bit troubled.
“A month from now will be the hottest time of the year. It might get a little uncomfortable if we’re busy.”
Shen Roujia pressed her hand to her forehead, feeling speechless, and even had the urge to avoid the whole situation.
But Xu Zening didn’t give her a chance to refuse.
“I’ve mobilized the Martial Alliance people to protect you, and even the Hidden Pavilion is under my protection now. The capital city has long been in chaos.”
Shen Roujia’s heart tightened; she was clearly still a bit nervous and uneasy.
But she forced a smile and said lightly, “You can choose, I have no objections.”
As soon as Shen Roujia finished speaking, Xu Zening chuckled, “So obedient. You’re not acting like yourself.”
Shen Roujia awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, then looked away from the paper, instead clenching her fists tightly.
Xu Zening seemed very pleased with Shen Roujia’s response. The next day, he said to her, “A’jiao, I’m going to give you a little gift this afternoon. Do you want to guess what it is?”
Shen Roujia paused. She couldn’t imagine what Xu Zening might do, so she could only smile and say, “How would I know? Whatever you give me will surely be the best.”
Since he wanted to hear it, she should say something he would like to hear.
Shen Roujia smiled, and Xu Zening really thought she was in a good mood.
He smiled as he ruffled Shen Roujia’s hair and said gently, “You’ll find out this afternoon. You’ll definitely be happy.”
Shen Roujia didn’t really know what Xu Zening was up to, but all she could think about was how to leave this so-called City Lord’s Manor.
When she thought of this, she had already lost to some extent.
Shen Roujia smiled and nodded, “Since you say so, how could I not be happy?”
Xu Zening left excitedly, while Shen Roujia remained with a gloomy expression.
