Chapter 39 Too Close

When did the adopted brother come? !

Shen Jiaojiao's pupils shrank slightly.

Under the man's gaze, she hurriedly withdrew her eyes, not daring to speak.

Recalling what Yuzhu said yesterday and how she had taken advantage of him this morning, she felt guilty for no reason and did not dare to face her sworn brother.

Miss Zhou was still pleading, her voice was so loud that even passers-by outside could hear her.

Passers-by stopped and started talking.

Shen Jiaojiao broke into a cold sweat for Miss Zhou.

Although the sworn brother doesn't pay much attention to reputation, he may not necessarily watch indifferently as the Meng family falls into sexual public opinion because of a woman.

"Guangshan." Meng Hui's calm voice sounded.

He looked away, no longer looking at Shen Jiaojiao, and looked down at the woman kneeling at his feet, his expression unchanged at all.

Guangshan immediately stood up and wanted to pull Miss Zhou aside.

Where is Miss Zhou refusing to move?

Once she is sent to Zhuangzi, she will really die!

She could only cry and shout for Guangshan to let her go, saying that she was serving Chen Yuanli and Guangshan was not allowed to touch her. She also continued to beg Meng Hui for forgiveness.

"Young Master! You promised the eldest lady that you would keep me in the Meng Mansion!" Miss Zhou wailed at the top of her lungs.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened, she felt more and more guilty, and couldn't help but glance at her adopted brother.

Fortunately, she still felt guilty, thinking that Miss Zhou's being ruined had something to do with her.

Unexpectedly, she was so smart, and she still remembered the question she deliberately asked her step-brother this morning.

Thinking about it carefully, it's true that she was at the bottom of the family and was pretty, but she was able to grow up well, and she was even a virgin before she was sold into the Meng family.

This shows the depth of scheming.

Shen Jiaojiao felt a little more wary, secretly reminding herself not to trust anyone too much.

There are more and more people watching the excitement outside.

The sound became more and more noisy, and it was bustling, even more lively than the market.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guangshan immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you be so rude in front of the young master!"

After saying that, he ordered several rich and powerful domestic slaves to twist Miss Zhou into the house.

Miss Zhou still wanted to cry out, but her mouth was blocked by a cloth.

Seeing this scene, Shen Jiaojiao shrank her head.

Even the servants around my sworn brother are so capable, they can take someone as soon as they ask...

Just as he was thinking about it, a burst of cinnamon scent suddenly came from his side, and his wrist was immediately grabbed.

She was startled and quickly pulled her hand back.

But his wrist was clenched tightly, unable to move.

Almost instantly, she realized that the person pulling her was her adopted brother.

The tension relaxed a little.

She raised her eyes and met Meng Hui's eyes again.

The man looked at her indifferently, his deep eyes seeming to look into her heart.

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flashed slightly, she didn't dare to look anymore, and lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience.

Meng Hui looked away calmly, without saying anything, and pulled her back towards the outer courtyard of Meng Mansion.

She was forced to follow him and walked inside, her eyes always involuntarily looking at the man's slender fingers, which were pressed tightly against her delicate and fair skin, which made her feel panicked.

There was a slight rubbing sensation on my wrist, which was warm to the touch.

Such strength, such touch...

Fascinating yet chaotic memories swept over her.

She lowered her eyelids to cover the ripples under her eyes.

While she was thinking, a big hand suddenly pinched her chin and lifted her head forcefully.

"Are you running away?"

Meng Hui suddenly approached, staring at her with eyes that were filled with incomprehensible emotions.

Shen Jiaojiao was startled, and when she looked closer, she saw that those deep eyes had long since become dull.

It was as if those emotions were all her imagination.

"Yi, sworn brother..."

She opened her lips slightly, trying to get the man to let go, but the words pressed in her throat could not come out.

too close.

The tip of the nose is almost touching the tip of the nose.

So close that the fine hairs on her face could feel the breath exhaled from the man's nose.

Her eyes widened, and within her sight, she could only see a pair of cold eyes that were magnified several times.

"Shen Jiaojiao, you are so calculating." The man spoke again. Warm breath hit her lips.

Her breathing was stagnant, and she felt like she was being tossed and turned.

"I almost don't recognize it. When did you become so scheming? Huh?"

The ending is light, and the deep voice doesn't sound like a question, but more like a whisper between lovers.

The charming atmosphere dissipated instantly. Shen Jiaojiao felt that the blood in her body had solidified and her heartbeat became extremely violent.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
It felt like it would jump out of my throat the next second, and breathing became difficult.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Her voice shook like a sieve.

The force coming from her chin made her tremble.

She shook her head, trying to get rid of the shackles.

Meng Hui did not let go, but instead squeezed her tighter. His whole body leaned forward slightly, and his thin lips almost touched hers.

"Are you waiting for this moment when you asked me the question in Hanliyuan?"

As he spoke, his thin lips moved slightly, touching her lips for a few moments.

Her brain exploded with a bang. She wanted to hide but couldn't, so she could only stare at the person in front of her.

"Sworn brother!"

Her throat was so tight that she could hardly speak.

Shen Jiaojiao had the illusion that her sworn brother had guessed what she wanted to do from the beginning.

Her scheming had long been seen by her sworn brother.

Facing such a man who was so smart that he was so smart, she no longer had any charm in her heart, and her mind was filled with panic and fear.

"You deliberately asked me how to deal with Miss Zhou because of this move? Do you want to keep her?"

Meng Hui's eyes deepened, and he distanced himself slightly, his gaze falling on the red lips.

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them are finally not so close anymore!
"I don't know what you're talking about." She said harshly.

She really had this idea at the time - if her adoptive mother supported Meng Wan and wanted to send Miss Zhou away, she would move her adopted brother out and say that he agreed to keep her in the house.

Unexpectedly, the adoptive mother did not propose to send him away, but only said that he would be sent to Zhuangzi.

The hook she had planted in advance was no longer needed.

Therefore, even if she was exposed by her sworn brother now, she could only deny it to death.

"Shen Jiaojiao, don't play tricks in front of me." Meng Hui raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a very faint smile, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head vigorously, "No, no."

"Lie." His voice was very calm, but he suddenly let go of his hand.

The fingertips slowly moved downward, touching the delicate skin of her neck, and then slowly moved back.

Her whole body trembled, and goosebumps quickly appeared on the skin on her neck. She took a step back and stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.

He didn't avoid her at all, lowering his eyes to look at her, as calmly as if nothing had happened.

Shen Jiaojiao was also a little confused.

Could it be that it was just a misunderstanding? Was it accidentally touched by the sworn brother when he retracted his hand?
"Shen Jiaojiao, are you really unwilling to say anything?"

There was a hint of impatience in his tone, and his brows were furrowed, as if his endurance had been exhausted.

Shen Jiaojiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shook her head firmly.

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, his lips pursed into a straight line, and there was a coldness all over his body.

She shrunk her head, gritted her teeth and persisted, refusing to change her words.

What's the use of blackmailing her?

She couldn't say a word anyway.

Yuzhu told her yesterday that her sworn brother had known that Meng Wan had done it that night, but he didn't tell her, obviously to protect Meng Wan.

At this time, I asked Miss Zhou again...

Is it possible that he wants to drive people out for Meng Wan?

When she thought about how her sworn brother had gone to Hanlianyuan to support Meng Wan this morning, her heart froze.

She really wanted to repair her relationship with her sworn brother, but she had to be careful, what if her sworn brother also cared about Meng Wan?
Meng Hui didn't know what she was thinking, but he became even more angry when he saw her standing there with her neck hunched over and a wronged and stubborn expression on her face.

During the stalemate, Guangshan knocked on the door.

Shen Jiaojiao came to her senses as if waking up from a dream, and subconsciously looked around.

Only then did she realize that she had been dragged into a wing in the front yard by her adopted brother.

No wonder the adopted brother dared to approach her unscrupulously.

"Master, my uncle is here and waiting outside." Guangshan said.

Hearing this, Meng Hui's eyes grew colder.

"You have chosen a good husband." He raised his thin lips and said sarcastically.
