"Ah Yao, something urgent has come up. I need to take a trip out of town."
Xue Xingyao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, plummeted.
'A sense of helpless inevitability washed over her.'
She said nothing, her gaze lowered, her thoughts hidden.
Chen Shujing was anxious. Ever since he sent Shen Mingji to the military barracks to be disciplined, he hadn't heard from him in a very long time.
Shen Mingji had a wild and arrogant nature. Although he'd caused Chen Shujing no small amount of trouble, upon learning that Chen Shujing was to marry, Shen Mingji chose to cut ties with him.
Before leaving, he had declared that whether he lived or died, no one should meddle in his affairs.
Shen Mingji was incredibly stubborn; once he made up his mind, a team of ten oxen couldn't drag him back.
After that, Chen Shujing truly never received a single letter from him.
Not one.
It was as if Shen Mingji intended to have nothing more to do with him for the rest of his life.
