Chapter 152: Chapter 94: Feels Like She Belongs to Him Too

Jun Moling steadied himself and broke the silence first. His voice was particularly clear in this tranquil atmosphere, “Ruoxi, this was my idea.

After you released Chunyu Che, I noticed your self-reproach and discomfort, so I anticipated you would come here and planned this in advance.”

Shen Ruoxi’s expression was calm. She glanced gently at Xu Ji beside her. That seemingly calm gaze seemed to be filled with countless words.

Xu Ji quickly lowered his head, like a guilty child, “Cousin, I also contributed ideas to this matter. Don’t blame the Marshal; it’s all my fault.”

Shen Ruoxi had just had a good cry, and her father’s sudden appearance indeed gave her a great shock.

However, upon reflection, their painstaking efforts were merely to prevent her from being mired in self-blame and guilt.

While the feeling of being deceived indeed made one angry, she always knew how to discern right from wrong.

“It’s late. Let’s go back!” Shen Ruoxi’s voice carried softly, like the cool evening breeze, gentle yet with a touch of firmness.

Jun Moling couldn’t help but pause, his face full of disbelief, “You’re not angry?”

Shen Ruoxi glanced at him sideways and said with some annoyance, “I did suffer a loss. Marshal, could you return it?”

Calling him father out of nowhere and crying like that, only for them all to see, how could her heart feel at ease!

But what can be done?

Jun Moling’s lips slightly curved into a smile, somewhat ingratiating, “Sorry, the plan was originally flawless, but who knew it would be messed up by Cousin.

The rope suddenly broke, and this fall, my leg still hurts.”

“Why didn’t it kill you?” Shen Ruoxi retorted angrily, “Let’s go back.”

Jun Moling’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he quickly agreed, “Okay.”

In his heart, she is truly a rare good girl.

If it were anyone else facing this kind of situation, they would have long since been furious, yet she could understand their intentions and choose not to hold a grudge.

Seeing Shen Ruoxi and Jun Moling walking side by side in front, Xu Ji was about to catch up quickly but was pulled back by Guan Qizhe.

“What are you doing?” Guan Qizhe asked.

“Doing what? Of course, I’m going back! Why are you stopping me?” Xu Ji was full of confusion.

“Aren’t you Shen Miss’s cousin? Why don’t you have any sense of direction? Let the two of them go first, and we can follow later.” Guan Qizhe said in a low voice.

Xu Ji paused, still baffled, “What’s going on?”

Guan Qizhe was somewhat exasperated, “You forgot the matchmaking General Jiang did the other day.”

Xu Ji had always been careless, and upon hearing this, he was even more bewildered, “What matchmaking?”

Guan Qizhe gritted his teeth, wondering why he met such a blockhead, and patiently explained, “Originally, I had a good impression of your cousin and wanted to confess, but the Marshal stopped me.

His strong possessiveness, don’t you understand?”

It was only then that Xu Ji realized, and he gaped in surprise, “You mean the Marshal likes my cousin?”

Finally, he figured it out, “Naturally, let’s not go over and disturb them, we can wait a little while.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ji was so delighted his mouth couldn’t close.

Who is Jun Moling? The person even Cousin Lan Jue admires, the greatest talent in Dayi Country, the most handsome man, noble and a prince; only he is worthy of his cousin.

Seeing Xu Ji’s expression, Guan Qizhe was somewhat displeased, “Judging by your look, is it impossible for me to be your cousin’s husband?”

“Of course not,” Xu Ji said without hesitation.

Guan Qizhe muttered helplessly, “Really not cute, where do I fall short?”

“You have some courage, daring to compare yourself with the Marshal, so you tell me where you fall short?” Xu Ji unceremoniously said.

Guan Qizhe smiled self-deprecatingly.

If another man liked Shen Ruoxi, he would certainly not be convinced and would definitely compete.

But the opponent is Prince Zhan, Jun Moling, he can only concede.

Shen Ruoxi and Jun Moling were walking along the secluded path, both silent for a moment.

Jun Moling knew well that Shen Ruoxi was not in a good mood, and if his earlier words could deceive her and make her feel less guilty, that would be good.

But it had been exposed, and she might be feeling even worse now.

He said gently, “Shall I take you somewhere?”

“Where to?” Shen Ruoxi asked curiously.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Shen Ruoxi nodded gently, not hesitating at all.

Jun Moling gently held her hand, and Shen Ruoxi did not refuse.

He led her, moving forward like the wind.

“Hey, you two…”

Xu Ji’s shout hadn’t fully left his mouth before Guan Qizhe covered it.

“Young Master Xu, what are you doing?”

Xu Ji struggled to pry open Guan Qizhe’s hand, shouting in anger, “What are you doing? It’s late at night, aren’t they afraid of danger, not returning to the camp?”

Guan Qizhe looked at Xu Ji as if he were a monster, “Just the two of them? Do you think there will be danger?”

Xu Ji still felt uneasy, though he didn’t dislike Jun Moling as much as he disliked Xiao Chengyi, but at night, his cousin being taken away, he felt uneasy.

“In the dead of night, it’s always worrisome!” Xu Ji muttered under his breath.

“Don’t worry about those things, Miss Shen deserves this beauty.”

With these words, a sense of emotion arose in Xu Ji’s heart.

That’s right! His cousin finding her happiness, he should be happy, not envious.

Jun Moling stopped with Shen Ruoxi, and Shen Ruoxi was instantly stunned by the sight before her.

Under the cool moonlight, a jade-like smooth stone lay there like a naturally formed bed.

In the surrounding grass, fireflies flickered like scattered stars.

The breeze brought the fragrance of flowers and earth, refreshing and relaxing.

Jun Moling smiled at Shen Ruoxi, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection, “Do you like it here?”

Shen Ruoxi lightly nodded, her eyes sparkling with surprise, “It’s beautiful, I’ve never seen such a sight.”

Jun Moling led her to the stone, and they sat side by side.

Moonlight bathed them, as if cloaking them in silver.

“I accidentally discovered this place three years ago. Sometimes after a victory, I would sneak here alone to enjoy the rare peace, feeling that this place belonged to me alone.” Jun Moling’s voice softly drifted, careful not to disturb the tranquility.

Shen Ruoxi listened quietly, her heart stirring slightly.

He hasn’t returned home for nearly six years, devoting his best youthful years to this land of smoke and blood without reservation.

Compared to those hardships, he never once flinched, her heart filled with respect, he really is remarkable.

“Since it’s private, why bring me here?” Shen Ruoxi lightly bit her lip, questioning softly.

Jun Moling turned his head, deeply gazing at her, his lips slightly upturned, and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, “Maybe because I think you are mine too.”

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat, her lips pressing gently to conceal the sudden panic arising within.

Could it be that he somewhat likes her?

This thought flashed through Shen Ruoxi’s mind, quickly suppressed.

That girl is so important in his heart, can he really let go completely?

Realizing what she was thinking, Shen Ruoxi bit her lip more forcefully.

Has she gone mad? Engagement is false, marriage is false; how could she covet the affection that wasn’t hers because of a bit of warmth and care from him?

As if sensing her emotional change, Jun Moling gently asked, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? Soon we will be married, aren’t you mine?”

Shen Ruoxi looked up, never one to be unclear, and wanted to ask directly, “Can you let go…”

Before she finished, the words “that girl” hadn’t even left her mouth, she heard Jun Moling’s exclamation.

In an instant, she was enveloped in Jun Moling’s embrace, and then felt her body suddenly lift, pinned beneath him on the boulder.
