The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

Shen Nanzhi said sternly, "If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is still some distance away. The city center is so crowded tonight that the carriage can't move at all. It would be faster to walk.

Shen Nanzhi was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Qian'an.

"Miss Shen!"

Being called again and again, Shen Nanzhi would have some temper even if she was made of clay, not to mention that she would feel sick if she stayed with the person in front of her for even a quarter of an hour longer.

She turned her head, the fake smile she had been able to maintain on her face had disappeared, and she said calmly, "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qian was slightly startled.

If the last meeting at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion made him realize that she had no eyes for him, he could still hold on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that he would be able to make her look at him again in this life.

But until this moment, Shen Nanzhi's coldness made Xiao Qian'an feel more and more uneasy.

It was as if the things that originally belonged to him, or were within his reach, could never be found again.

The panic and helplessness made Xiao Qi'an's chest suddenly tighten.

He clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves, and only then did he suppress the piercing pain. He said calmly, "My mother and aunt have always wanted to marry each other, but I have already made it clear to my mother that I have no romantic feelings for my cousin Lan Yin, so this marriage will not count."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows.

She didn't know what Xiao Qian'an was planning when he suddenly called her and said these inexplicable words to her in the middle of the night.

Even if he wanted to take advantage of the Shen family like in his previous life, he had to pretend to be affectionate and try to seduce her, but she had clearly rejected him just now. With Xiao Qian'an's proud personality, he shouldn't be so persistent.

Even if he doesn't give up, he will find a way elsewhere or find another opportunity.

I wouldn't be so eager to take the initiative... shameless.

But Shen Nanzhi still underestimated Xiao Qian'an's flexibility. He stepped forward, blocked Shen Nanzhi's way, and looked at her nervously: "To be honest, I fell in love with Miss Shen at first sight. If you are willing, I can promise you that the inner house will be clean in the future, and I will never take concubines or marry another woman. From beginning to end, there will only be Miss Shen. I will ask my father for an order to grant us a marriage."

Grant marriage...

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi was struck by lightning.

Thinking of the arranged marriage in the previous life, and the miserable ending of himself and the entire Shen family, Shen Nanzhi's hands and feet turned cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Xiao Qian was looking at her expectantly.

Shen Nanzhi moved her lips and was about to refuse, but suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

A light cough broke the strange atmosphere between Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Qian'an.

Shen Nanzhi turned around subconsciously, and when she raised her eyes, she met a pair of cold black eyes.

The lights on the street are bright, but not as dazzling as the stars in that person's eyes.

He seemed to be walking in a hurry, and his breathing was a little unstable, but his expression was normal, and his eyes were so gentle that they could melt spring water.

Xiao Chuyun looked at Shen Nanzhi and smiled: "Sorry, I disturbed Miss Shen and my seventh brother."

I don’t know if it was Shen Nanzhi’s illusion, the smile in Xiao Chuyun’s eyes didn’t look real, and even a little cold.

As soon as he appeared, Xiao Qian'an's expression had turned completely cold.

"I didn't expect that Third Brother would be in such a good mood, coming out to enjoy the lanterns so late at night. I guess Third Brother's health must have improved a lot now."

No matter how stupid Shen Nanzhi was, she could feel the tit-for-tat between the two of them, and the strong smell of gunpowder.

Especially Xiao Qian'an, those words undoubtedly hit Xiao Chuyun's heart.

He was not in good health to begin with.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

But Xiao Chuyun didn't seem to take it to heart. He only glanced at Xiao Qian'an, then turned his head and looked at Shen Nanzhi's face. His tone was filled with understanding and subtle disappointment: "So, Miss Shen rushed back in such a hurry to keep the appointment with my seventh brother."

These words made Shen Nanzhi at a loss for how to explain for a moment.

She couldn't say that she had foreseen that something might happen to Miss Wen San and rushed back to Wanbao Tower for fear that something might happen.

Who knew that Xiao Qian'an also asked her out at Wanbaolou, even though she had clearly refused.

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, Xiao Qi'an stepped forward, looked at Xiao Chuyun coldly and said, "We just came from Wanbao Tower and enjoyed the lanterns and scenery along the way. Third brother, do you want to come with us?"

Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "No, just like what my seventh brother said, I am so sick that I can't hold on any longer. If it weren't for Miss Shen's rescue, I would have been killed by the assassins outside the city yesterday. But I feel really bad that Miss Shen got injured while saving me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qinan's expression tensed up, and he quickly turned to look at Shen Nanzhi: "Are you injured?"

Although Xiao Qian'an looked sincere and his eyes were full of concern, his attitude still made Shen Nanzhi suspicious.

He didn't seem surprised by Xiao Chuyun's assassination. He was only concerned about Shen Nanzhi: "Miss Shen also left the city yesterday? And with my third brother?"
