“Do you believe that this is a coincidence?” Ji Yushu said excitedly, “How is this a coincidence? Even a fool can tell that Miss Shen is deliberately letting Sun Cainan meet her cousin.”
“When did I say that this is a coincidence?” Gao Yang opened his fan and waved it. “But I think not only does she know Sun Cainan, but she also knows the seat Sun Cainan will take in advance. Don’t you think it’s strange?” Gao Yang rubbed his chin. “Shen Miao is just a young lady. Why does she look like she’s more informed than All Knowing Scholar? She knows everything. I wonder if she even knows something we don’t.”
“Stop saying that about All Knowing Scholar,” Ji Yushu retorted. “It’s 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.”
“It’s much more interesting to spy on her than others.” Gao Yang looked at Jing Chuchu, who was chatting happily with Sun Cainan, and asked, “Why don’t you take a guess at what the goal of her doing this is?”
Ji Yushu thought about it seriously. “She wants to matchmake her cousin with Sun Cainan?”
“When have you ever seen Shen Miao so kind?” Gao Yang denied that possibility mercilessly.
“Then what do you think is happening?” Ji Yushu was discouraged.
“Has the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs… been in contact with the Shen family recently?” 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 Chuchu’s side and say, “Miss Jing, Fifth Miss can’t 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.”
Jing Chuchu was a little surprised. “Fifth Sister went back first?”
The guard nodded.
“How can Fifth Miss Shen leave you alone?” 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, “Then let’s go back now.”
“That won’t do.” Sun Cainan immediately said, “If you go back now, won’t you be wasting this table of good food? No one has ever thrown away the food and wine in the Pleasant Restaurant like this.” He looked at the confused Jing Chuchu and smiled. “How about this? If you don’t mind, I’m willing to eat with you.” He looked like a gentleman. “So many of your guards are here. After eating, let them send you back.”
“This…” Jing Chuchu was a little at loss as to what to do.
“Since we met here, I believe the two of us are fated. Since we’re fated, don’t let this fate given by the heavens go to waste.” Sun Cainan said bluntly, “When 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.”
After hesitating for a while, Jing Chuchu finally nodded. “Then… we’ll do as you say.”
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 Qiu’s woman in his previous life.
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and muttered in a voice that only she could hear, “Sun Cainan, Jing Chuchu, I personally brought you two together. Don’t let me down.”
