NOVPUBShen Hexuan truly didn’t understand what Shen Roujia was thinking. Even though he was heartbroken, he still compromised.
“Tell me where you want to go. Even if you don’t want to leave with me, I at least need to know where you intend to go.”
With a hint of defiance, Shen Roujia answered, “I want to go to the Northern Border.”
Shen Hexuan jumped up in shock. “What did you say?”
Shen Roujia waved her hand and said helplessly, “No, listen to me first. I’ve found my real family. They might be my father and brother. I don’t know how to explain it to you, but I believe I’m the child of a Northern Border person and a Great Zhou citizen.”
“At the very least, I need to wait until this conflict is over before I can truly belong to myself. I can’t promise anything right now, but I’ll promise you this: if I ever get the chance, I won’t forget you as my brother.”
Shen Roujia didn’t want to use Shen Hexuan, as his actions stemming from his feelings were something she found shameful. But now, she only wanted to leave, with no other thoughts in her mind.
Given the current situation, even if Shen Roujia had to deceive someone, she couldn’t muster any genuine sincerity.
She knew she wasn’t a good person, so even in this moment, she chose to protect herself. That was the first step in this process.
Shen Hexuan pressed his lips together tightly, saying nothing.
After a long silence, he finally looked up at Shen Roujia...
Meanwhile, Xu Zening, dressed in bright red wedding attire, looked down at the bustling crowd below. “Xu Shiyi, is everything outside arranged?”
Xu Shiyi answered seriously, “Yes, everything is tightly secured. Not even a fly could get out.”
Only then did Xu Zening nod slowly, saying, “Let the ceremony begin.”
Xu Shiyi obeyed and turned to find Xiao Fu. Xiao Fu had just left Shen Roujia’s room and was carrying a tray back when Xu Shiyi nervously asked, “What are you doing here? Where’s Miss?”
Xiao Fu frowned and brushed off his hand. “Miss was hungry, so I went to get her something to eat.”
