After the movie, she went too deep into the play

Chapter 37 "A Separation" (4)

he knows?
what do you know?
Do you know her name is Shen Ruochu?
Shen Ruochu was even more puzzled.

Have they met before?
Xue Yuchen did not continue to answer her questions, but took her directly to the bustling commercial street.

Although it was the first time for Shen Ruochu to see such a prosperous place, after all, she was once considered a scholarly family, so she understood the reason why she should not be rude and lose face.

"Is there anything you want?" Xue Yuchen asked her.

Shen Ruochu didn't even think about it, she just shook her head, "Master, you are busy with work, you should prepare all the things you need earlier, so you can go back and rest."

"Let's go, let's go! Rickshaw, here comes the rickshaw..."

The coachman spoke Shanghai dialect, pulled the rickshaw, and ran past them.

When Shen Ruochu saw it inadvertently, her eyes and mind were also taken away.

She just saw Jiang Yi and a girl in that rickshaw...

That girl was dressed luxuriously, she was obviously a young lady from an aristocratic family.

They were talking and laughing, not noticing her presence at all.

"What's the matter? Know?"

Xue Yuchen's voice came faintly from behind her, startling her.

Shen Ruochu shook his head, forced a smile, and said with difficulty, "I don't know."

"Oh? Really?" Xue Yuchen obviously didn't believe what she said, and said to himself, "I know them. That woman is a famous lady in Shanghai, and the man seems to be her concubine?"

Shen Ruochu's heart skipped a beat, but it seemed to be numb for a long time, and she wasn't sad at all.

She actually guessed it, if she could wait, she would have waited a long time ago...

"Let's go..." Shen Ruochu continued walking without looking back.

Xue Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "Do you know where you are going?"

Shen Ruochu's footsteps paused and stopped.

Where to go?

yes……

Where should she go?
"Turn around!"

Xue Yuchen's voice was a little low, but pleasant to hear.

Shen Ruochu turned around obediently and looked at him in confusion.

"Come here, I'll take you away."

His words seemed to have magical power, drawing her closer to him...

The 34th year of the Republic of China came as promised, and the first snow came earlier than before.There was a charcoal fire inside the house, making it extraordinarily warm, and the temperature difference between the cold and the hot had cast a layer of mist on the windows.

Shen Ruochu has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary men.

From that day on, Xue Yuchen arranged her by his side, as his secretary, handling some insignificant paperwork and trivial matters in the house.

"I'm going to Nanjing tomorrow, and I'll be back in about a week." Xue Yuchen flipped through the documents in his hand and said without raising his head.

Shen Ruochu put down the book in his hand, nodded, "Okay, I'll pick you up then."

Xue Yuchen looked up, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Well, I'll wait for you..."

In the past six months of getting along, the two have become close friends, and if they want to become lovers, it seems that there is something missing.

What's wrong?

Probably family background...

He is an officer of a high and noble family, and she is no longer a lady of a scholarly family, but just one of his servants...

If you put it that way, they don't even seem to be friends!
Because of serving Xue Yuchen closely, Shen Ruochu's status in Xue's residence increased day by day, as if in the dark, he gradually replaced Liu Sanqiang's position.

This happened without anyone noticing, and by the time everyone realized it, she was already standing in that position.

Xue Yuchen took Adjutant Wang out to get busy, and Shen Ruochu who stayed at home naturally took care of all the trivial matters.

But in this deep courtyard, there is a pair of "venomous snake" eyes staring at her, waiting for an opportunity to move.

There was a blizzard that night, and the cold wind slapped the windows crazily, as if advising someone to escape quickly.

Shen Ruochu put the classified files on Xue Yuchen's desk, and she glanced back at the snowstorm outside the window...

Xue Yuchen will be back early tomorrow morning.

She promised to pick him up, she had to rest earlier.

Shen Ruochu squeezed her shoulders, twisted her neck, relaxed her body that was stiff due to fatigue, and felt much happier.

Suddenly, the lights went out and the office was pitch black.

Shen Ruochu frowned and looked for the candle, wanting to get a ray of light.

Even though it has been half a year, she still clearly remembers the fear that Liu Sanqiang brought her.

There seemed to be a strange fragrance in the air, and Shen Ruochu couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, and the scene in front of him began to appear double...
