NOVPUBXiao Fu didn’t really understand why Shen Roujia would say such things. After all, in their eyes, with someone as good as Xu Zening, what more could Shen Roujia want?
Shen Roujia herself didn’t quite grasp the situation either. She was even trying to relax Xu Zening’s vigilance whenever she had the chance.
In recent days, Shen Roujia had started wandering around the City Lord’s Manor, seemingly by accident.
Whenever she found a moment, Shen Roujia would begin looking for opportunities. But Xu Zening was watching her too closely, leaving her no chance to escape the center of the manor.
This enormous estate looked more like a fortress than a house. It wasn’t just the main areas—there were no small gates or even dog holes anywhere that could serve as an escape route. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Shen Roujia sighed helplessly. The day of the wedding, chosen by Xu Zening, was approaching fast. She could no longer ignore the reality: Shen Roujia was about to marry Xu Zening.
And she had to act as though she was happy and willing.
Even if the whole world congratulated her, Shen Roujia wouldn’t be happy, because she couldn’t face her own heart. Everyone else might think it was the right thing, but Shen Roujia didn’t, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Shen Roujia didn’t take Xu Zening’s words to heart because she was still tied to other concerns.
Everyone else seemed fine, but Shen Roujia felt like she was the only one being ungrateful. She looked at her reflection in the mirror with a touch of self-mockery.
She kept thinking of ways to escape because, right now, Shen Roujia still wanted to find a chance to get to Gu Zhi’s side. If the situation in the Northern Border could be resolved, Gu Zhi’s storyline would be complete.
