\nExtra chapter for mily (2/3)

Chu Jiao ignored the heartache and grievance she felt underneath her anger and violently kicked the door down.

However, the lewd scenario she had expected to see was nowhere to be found. Inside the empty room, there was only a girl who was writhing about in bed, mouthing lascivious and obscene words nonstop.

“Jiao’er?”

Chu Jiao was still flabbergasted by the preposterous situation she was seeing before her very eyes until the male lead’s voice snuck up from behind her.

Chu Jiao turned her head around in confusion and quickly saw Shen Zhen standing on the stairs, appearing immaculately dressed. There was not a speck that indicated him being involved in a clandestine love affair with the female lead.

“Why did you come?”

Realization dawned upon Shen Zhen as soon as he finished asking this question. What else could it be other than the ruse Lin Wenyue had set up. She wanted his Jiao’er to see the sight of them having an affair. Really, what a malicious little heart she had!

“Come, let’s talk inside.”

Shen Zhen ordered Fu Lai to guard the door and firmly pulled Chu Jiao inside the room.

The woman’s faint breathing continued to ring out in the room, irritating Shen Zhen, so he pressed her sleeping point and finally regained silence.\nIt turned out that Shen Zhen had slipped in an enchantment drug made by the palace’s secret guards, which allowed people to start hallucinating without their knowledge, into Lin Wenyue’s wine.

Shen Zhen naturally didn’t want to touch a single hair on Lin Wenyue because, to tell the truth, apart from Chu Jiao, nobody could rouse his desire.

He suppressed the urge to immediately deal with Lin Wenyue just for the sake of luring out Lin Tao, so he could bring the vermins of Jiangnan’s officialdom to justice.

Chu Jiao sat in the middle of Shen Zhen and Lin Wenyue, partially blocking Shen Zhen’s line of sight.

For some unknown reason, she didn’t like the thought of Shen Zhen’s gaze falling onto another person’s body.

“Then, where did you go earlier?”

She suspiciously questioned.

Shen Zhen took out a green floral jade hairpin from his lapels and gently inserted it into Chu Jiao’s updo. “This Lord was passing by the Jade Pavilion and happened to come across this hairpin.” He fixed the hair on Chu Jiao’s forehead. “As I expected, it suits you very well.”

While he had free time to spare, he skillfully evaded the spies that Lin Tao had planted to monitor him and ran out to buy it.

“Hmph.” Although it didn’t show apparently on Chu Jiao’s face, on the inside, she felt greatly comforted. “If something like this ever happens again, you have to tell me beforehand, do you understand!?”

“Do you know, I almost…almost thought that…”\nChu Jiao’s little hand pressed against Shen Zhen’s strapping chest, hammering it twice.

“Thought what? Hm?”

Shen Zhen stretched an arm out and warmly wrapped it around her waist, asking, “Did you genuinely think that this Lord had something going on with that girl?”

Feeling ridiculous but also feeling angry, he continued, “Do you distrust this Lord that much!?”

“No….”

Chu Jiao also didn’t know why but just the thought of the male lead having an intimate relationship with the female lead caused her anger to flare and her sadness to surge in her heart.

It shouldn’t be like this.

She was only carrying out her mission.

Even if the male and female leads had something between them, she shouldn’t have let her emotions affect her decisions because the mission should be more important!

Despite her rationality telling her this, Chu Jiao’s heart simply couldn’t accept it.
