Is Shizi ill today?

Chapter 281 Let Tonight Be The Last Time
Forget it, let's talk after eating.

Shen Qianqiao sighed inwardly, quietly enjoying the service of the man beside her.

The meal was eaten very slowly, and neither of the two took the initiative to speak, enjoying this rare coexistence.

When she was full, Shen Qianqiao saw that the bowl of the man next to her was still clean, and quickly raised her hand to pick up the chopsticks, "Ah Jing, I told you to eat by yourself, leave me alone!"

Seeing the undisguised concern in her eyes, Xia Houjing smiled foolishly, "Ah Jing is not hungry."

How can you not be hungry?

Shen Qianqiao understood this man's temperament, and she was still looking for her in the palace at that time, probably before she had time to have a bite of hot food.

If Xia Houjing wasn't the eldest son of Prince Duan's mansion, she would be very happy with him.

Just no ifs!

Shen Qianqiao urged the man beside her and forced him to eat two bowls of rice, only then did she show satisfaction in her eyes.

"Ah Jing, let's go for a walk."

Xia Houjing nodded quickly, with joy in his eyes: "Okay, Ah Jing listens to Qian Qiao!"

Shen Qianqiao looked at him, and gradually made a decision in her heart.

The night is cool, and the market is full of noise.

Xia Houjing's exquisite appearance still attracted the attention of many people along the way.

He protects her and doesn't let anyone get close to her.

At this moment, Shen Qianqiao felt extremely at ease.

She knew that no matter where she went, this man would always follow her and protect her.

"Ah Jing, I want candied haws." Shen Qianqiao stopped in front of a booth and said softly.

"Okay!" Xia Houjing immediately handed over the silver and took one for her.

After Shen Qianqiao took it, she couldn't wait to tear off the candy wrapper.

With a sweet taste in her mouth, she narrowed her eyes and looked up at the sky with a little satisfaction.

If only I could go slower tonight!
Shen Qianqiao walked from the street to the end of the alley without buying anything, but there was always a smile in the corner of her eyes, and occasionally she would tug on a man's sleeve affectionately and whisper in a whisper.

As night fell, the number of people on the street gradually decreased and became deserted.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Shen residence, and Shen Qianqiao got off the carriage.

"Miss--"

Xizhu got off from another carriage.

Shen Qianqiao glanced at her, then turned her head, her gaze fell on the man's jade-like face.

"Ah Jing, I haven't said goodbye to you properly."

The smile on the man's face froze little by little, and his deep eyes cracked little by little.

"Tonight will be the last time."

After Shen Qianqiao finished speaking, she didn't dare to look into the man's eyes, and forced herself to turn around.

"Qian Qiao," Xia Houjing stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, his voice was urgent: "I won't marry Fang Yanran, I will break off the engagement with her, don't be angry, don't be angry with Ah Jing, Ah Jing knew he was wrong..."

When Shen Qianqiao heard this, her heart became more and more oppressed, she didn't dare to turn her head, but just looked at the Shen family mansion standing in the dark night.

"Ah Jing, if you really like me, you shouldn't force me, I'm tired!"

Xia Houjing's body froze, his dark eyes were covered with hurt, even though his fingertips were greedy for the warmth of her hands, he still forced himself to let go.

As soon as Shen Qianqiao was free, she walked up the steps without looking back.

The night was a little silent.

In Shen Qianqiao's mind, the image of the man's loss and pain kept appearing, her heart tightened, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

But she knew that this decision should have been made a long time ago, and delaying it would not be good for anyone.
