Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 553 The Republic-era Miss Who Admitted Her Mistake to Her Arranged Marriage (24)

The bedroom has an antique feel and a traditional layout with three layers inside and three layers outside.

Separated by beaded curtains and veils, it was as tranquil and peaceful as a painting.

In the innermost room, there was a large carved bed.

At this moment, Mu Zhou was lying on it, sleeping soundly.

Shen Yucang, who had originally agreed to only stay in the bedroom with her, had long forgotten his promise.

He lay down next to Mu Zhou, letting her rest her head on his arm in a relaxed posture.

Mu Zhou was fast asleep, her cheeks were squeezed together, and her full lips were slightly protruding.

Shen Yuncang stared at her with his dark eyes, and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently touch her lips with his fingertips, slowly kneading them.

His movements were tender and ambiguous.

The soft touch of his fingertips quickly made his breathing heavy.

Looking at Mu Zhou's obedient sleeping face, he swallowed hard, but ultimately stopped himself from further provoking himself.

He pulled his arms closer, leaned against her, and closed his eyes.

When Mu Zhou woke up, Shen Juncang was no longer by her side.

She pretended not to know that he had slept here last night.

The doctor came to see her and told her to relax, that there was nothing seriously wrong, and that going out for walks would help her recover.

So after the meal, she took a walk in the corridor.

Today she finally got a good look at where she lived.

This place was clearly prepared in advance; it doesn't look like a guest room that was temporarily set up.

From the dressing table to the wardrobe and the small study, everything is complete, and the decor is exactly what Mu Zhou likes.

Even the wardrobe is full of ready-made clothes, all of which are top-notch in terms of style, design, and workmanship.

In the morning, the maid thoughtfully brought the clothes to ask her which one she wanted to wear.

It was obvious that all those clothes were made for her.

Even the size is perfect.

This place seems to have been built long ago for Mu Zhou.

Shen Juncang and the servants in the mansion made no attempt to hide their true intentions, which Mu Zhou could naturally understand.

She sat in the pavilion, looking somewhat melancholy and lost.

The maid beside her secretly noted down her emotions and state, preparing to answer when the young marshal asked her questions.

Everyone in the manor knew that this bedroom had been prepared for a long time, and now that the mistress of the house had finally arrived, they naturally dared not neglect it.

Moreover, judging from the young marshal's tireless care throughout the night, he must cherish her dearly.

They were all on high alert, knowing she might be the future wife of the young marshal.

Although Mu Zhou, who was sitting there in a daze, looked worried, he was actually quite relaxed inside.

She rested her chin on her hand, thinking about Wen Heliang and the others.

With Shen Qucang taking action, she no longer needs to worry about the Wen family.

Given Shen Yuncang's habit of eliminating all threats, she wouldn't need to worry about the aftermath.

She sat motionless for a long time, not even noticing that Shen Yucang had come to the pavilion.

At this moment, her lips were downturned and her eyes were lowered, resembling a somewhat wilted peony.

Since ancient times, it has always been particularly heartbreaking to see a beautiful woman grieving.

Shen Huocang was no exception.

But he knew the real reason for the man's worries was simply that he was concerned about Shen Congjun and wanted to get away from him.

So he could only pretend he knew nothing.

He walked over to Mu Zhou and saw that she was so engrossed in her own world that she hadn't noticed him, so he leaned down directly.

He wrapped his arms around Mu Zhou's waist and knees, and suddenly picked him up.

Mu Zhou was so startled that she almost cried out.

Only after recognizing Shen Yucang did she breathe a sigh of relief, grabbing the protrusion of the badge on his chest and giving him a reproachful look.

Shen Huocang was tall and strong, and his physique was naturally robust due to his years of military training.

He picked up Mu Zhou with almost no effort, carrying her lightly towards the outside of the pavilion.

Shen Chucang remained silent, and Mu Zhou could tell that this was not the way back to her room.

"Where to?"

Seeing that the place was unfamiliar and there were always servants on the way, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and struggled to get down.

"Be good, don't move."

He lowered his head slightly, his soft, husky voice filled with obvious doting affection.

Mu Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked away from his gaze.

It is an undeniable fact that Shen Zhecang is handsome, but he usually gives off a very dangerous vibe, so he suppresses the stunning beauty in his eyes and brows.

Now those eyes are filled with tenderness, making them incredibly impactful.

Mu Zhou nestled in his arms, and although the servants never looked up, she still didn't dare to relax.

She was carried across most of the courtyard and into the study.

Shen Yucang placed the person on the table.

Mu Zhou sat on the edge of the desk with his legs hanging down naturally, so that he could look Shen Yucang at almost eye level.

But the two were too close together.

She felt a little unwell and wanted to get down, when she heard Shen Yucang say:

"Didn't you want to call your family?"

Mu Zhou instantly forgot about what had happened.

Shen Yucang handed her the receiver, and she immediately dialed her home phone.

When speaking to her family, her tone became much more gentle and soft, and almost every sentence was spoken with an unconscious coquettishness.

Shen Yucang placed his hands on the table on either side of her body, staring at her with his eyes half-lowered.

Mu Zhou ignored him, put the receiver to her ear, and listened to her mother's rambling on the other end of the phone.

"Mother, I'll be going back in a while."

"I...I saw Shen Congjun, but he..."

Mu Zhou was unsure how to bring up these matters.

It's just too bizarre and embarrassing to talk about.

In the end, he could only say vaguely:

"I'll be back in a while, so you and Dad don't need to worry about me."

Shen Yucang's eyes darkened upon hearing this, but he remained silent, staring intently at her.

Mu Zhou's parents on the other end of the phone could tell that their daughter had probably encountered something, perhaps related to Shen Congjun.

So his words were more comforting to her, and he added:

“If you’re having a bad time outside, come home. Even though your father is angry, he won’t abandon you. He still has some face left. If anyone bullies you, he will definitely seek justice for you.”

Mu Zhou's mother was worried that she might offend people outside and wouldn't dare tell the family, which is why she said that.

Mu Zhou felt a warmth in his heart:

"Mother, I'm fine. I'll be going back in a few days."

Even after hanging up the phone, Mu Zhou still had a smile on his face.

After talking to her family, she felt much better.

Forget it, at worst we'll just go back to Ruancheng, and let Dad and Mom handle the rest.

Whether it's Shen Juncang or Shen Congjun, she believes her father and mother can handle it.

She felt relieved, and her expression relaxed considerably.

Shen Yucang's heart sank.

When Mu Zhou looked up, he saw that Shen Yucang had been leaning over him the whole time.

She paused for a moment, then realized how ambiguous such a distance was.

"I...I'll go down first."

She wanted to get off the table.

But Shen Juncang was unwilling to let go.

He narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice:

"You're leaving? What about me?"

Mu Zhou silently bit her lip, and after a moment she mustered up her courage and told him everything she had prepared.

"I'm sorry, I've thought about it carefully. It was wrong of me to mistake someone else for someone else, I admit that. But you also bear some responsibility for this."

Shen Yucang gave a slight, expressionless smile:

"continue."
