583 Pastry (6)

Shen Miao was slightly stunned. When she met Luo Ling’s gaze, she felt a little awkward.

Ever since she was reborn, Shen Miao had never had any thoughts about her marriage. If she could find a stable person to live with for the rest of her life, as long as that person respected her, it did not matter if she loved him or not. Therefore, Shen Miao had never fantasized about her future husband.

However, Luo Ling… Shen Miao sighed in her heart. She smiled and said indifferently, “Cousin, you must be joking. Who will turn down such an excellent man like you?”

She did not answer Luo Ling’s question.

The hope in Luo Ling’s eyes gradually faded. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, “No matter what, thank you for comforting me.”

!!

“You’re welcome.” Shen Miao said, “We’re all family.”

Shen Miao sat there for a while longer before getting up to leave. After Shen Miao left, Luo Ling sat at the table, looking like he was thinking about something. After being in a daze for a long time, he took a deep breath. His gaze landed on the plate with pastries at the corner of the table. He thought for a moment and was about to reach out to take it.

For some reason, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside. The heavy porcelain plate fell to the ground with a bang, and fragments flew everywhere. The ink box on the table was knocked over, and a lot of ink splashed on the pastry.

Luo Ling was stunned. He stood up to take a look, only to see that the window was tightly shut. He couldn’t help but mutter, “How did the wind get in here?” Then, his gaze landed on the pastry that was already contaminated by ink and he said regretfully, “What a pity.”

…

On the other side, Shen Miao returned to the house and lit the oil lamp. She asked Jingzhe and Gu Yu to leave before entering the room.
