âDo you believe that this is a coincidence?â Ji Yushu said excitedly, âHow is this a coincidence? Even a fool can tell that Miss Shen is deliberately letting Sun Cainan meet her cousin.â
âWhen did I say that this is a coincidence?â Gao Yang opened his fan and waved it. âBut I think not only does she know Sun Cainan, but she also knows the seat Sun Cainan will take in advance. Donât you think itâs strange?â Gao Yang rubbed his chin. âShen Miao is just a young lady. Why does she look like sheâs more informed than All Knowing Scholar? She knows everything. I wonder if she even knows something we donât.â
âStop saying that about All Knowing Scholar,â Ji Yushu retorted. âItâs just that Miss Shen is too extraordinary. If Third Brother Xie finds out that you and I are here all day long to spy on Miss Shen, he will definitely scold us for being idle.â
âItâs much more interesting to spy on her than others.â Gao Yang looked at Jing Chuchu, who was chatting happily with Sun Cainan, and asked, âWhy donât you take a guess at what the goal of her doing this is?â
Ji Yushu thought about it seriously. âShe wants to matchmake her cousin with Sun Cainan?â
âWhen have you ever seen Shen Miao so kind?â Gao Yang denied that possibility mercilessly.
âThen what do you think is happening?â Ji Yushu was discouraged.
âHas the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs⦠been in contact with the Shen family recently?â Gao Yang held his chin with his fan and was deep in thought.
At the Pleasant Restaurant, Jing Chuchu and Sun Cainan chatted for a long time. The more the two of them chatted, the more they got along. Those who did not know better would think that they were a couple. After a while, they saw a few guards of the Shen family walk to Jing Chuchuâs side and say, âMiss Jing, Fifth Miss canât find clothes that fit her. She lost her mood to eat and has already left after paying the bill. She asked us to wait until you finish eating before sending you back.â
Jing Chuchu was a little surprised. âFifth Sister went back first?â
The guard nodded.
âHow can Fifth Miss Shen leave you alone?â Sun Cainan said indignantly. He had already found out from Jing Chuchu that the cousin she was waiting for was the fifth miss of the Shen family, Shen Miao. He did not know much about Shen Miao. He only knew that she was an idiot who liked Prince Ding. Now it seemed that not only was Shen Miao stupid, but she was also uncivilized.
Jing Chuchu lowered her head and said uneasily, âThen letâs go back now.â
âThat wonât do.â Sun Cainan immediately said, âIf you go back now, wonât you be wasting this table of good food? No one has ever thrown away the food and wine in the Pleasant Restaurant like this.â He looked at the confused Jing Chuchu and smiled. âHow about this? If you donât mind, Iâm willing to eat with you.â He looked like a gentleman. âSo many of your guards are here. After eating, let them send you back.â
âThisâ¦â Jing Chuchu was a little at loss as to what to do.
âSince we met here, I believe the two of us are fated. Since weâre fated, donât let this fate given by the heavens go to waste.â Sun Cainan said bluntly, âWhen I saw you today, I felt like I had seen an old friend, so I talked to you. I wonder if you will allow me this chance to eat with you.â
After hesitating for a while, Jing Chuchu finally nodded. âThen⦠weâll do as you say.â
The two of them began to eat and talk. In the distant room, Shen Miao looked at the couple and a cold smile slowly appeared on her lips.
She was familiar with Sun Cainan. In her previous life, this person made Shen Qiu a cuckold. Shen Qiu was young and impulsive, so he murdered Sun Cainan brutally. However, in the end, she found out that Sun Cainan was actually the only son of the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs. It was because this Sun Cainan was ignorant and incompetent. Usually, he only relied on his sweet nothings and good looks to seduce women. No matter if the women were married or unmarried, they all fell for him. Sun Tianzheng was afraid that the imperial censor would report it to the emperor, so he usually did not allow Sun Cainan to go out. Therefore, very few people knew him.
But in this life, she would recognize Sun Cainan even if he turned into ashes.
Sun Cainan liked soft and weak women from the south the most. Otherwise, he would not have dared to sleep with Shen Qiuâs woman in his previous life.
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and muttered in a voice that only she could hear, âSun Cainan, Jing Chuchu, I personally brought you two together. Donât let me down.â
