NOVPUBShen Roujia didn’t deliberately express her true feelings; she acted like a beautiful marionette, following Xu Zening’s instructions obediently and without complaint.
When she tried on the wedding dress, Xu Zening carefully examined her. His gaze remained clear, revealing nothing but gentle affection.
Xu Zening looked at her as if she were a priceless treasure. Despite the situation, Shen Roujia hadn’t given up on her plan.
She still wanted to escape.
There was no love or reliance in her heart, and Shen Roujia clearly understood her own feelings. She knew what she truly wanted, but could she manage a perfect rejection?
Thinking about this, Shen Roujia even felt a tinge of regret. If she had been the original Shen Roujia, perhaps she could have reached that point.
She sighed softly, but even this didn’t go unnoticed.
Xu Zening asked gently, “What’s wrong? Is there something that doesn’t fit?”
Shen Roujia shook her head slowly, then looked at Xu Zening with a gentle smile.
If you’re going to put on an act in front of me, it’s not like I don’t know how to play along.
Though these were her thoughts, Shen Roujia didn’t let them show too strongly.
“No, no, I think it looks beautiful. Maybe it’s just that I’m not in the best condition today, so I didn’t do the dress justice.”
She smiled slightly, as if her words were completely true.
She lifted her head, her eyes soft and warm, like a gentle spring in the winter. This look made Xu Zening’s heart itch just a little.
As if she had stumbled upon some significant secret, Shen Roujia began to feel uneasy.
“By the way, who have we invited as guests? Will my brother be coming?”
“I know you’re always full of surprises. I’m not surprised by anything anymore.”
Xu Zening, charmed by her soft tone, seemed momentarily dazed. But Shen Roujia knew exactly what was going on.
Xu Zening must be aware that she didn’t want to stay here, so he was quietly preparing for that. Shen Roujia had been thinking about how to handle this situation, always maintaining this careful balance.
But now that the wedding was imminent, Shen Roujia couldn’t help feeling conflicted.
