Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An unexpected incident had once occurred, serving as the catalyst for the initiation of their relationship. Hu Jie had accidentally fallen into the water, and it was Su Shen who had come to her rescue. During this incident, she had developed a profound fondness for him.
Upon learning from her father that Su Shen’s aloofness was his inherent nature, that he treated everyone with the same indifference, she began to lower her guard. She started to approach Su Shen proactively, often doing special things for him, such as making soup or gifting him new shoes.
Everyone around them seemed to approve of their relationship, yet Su Shen remained distant. His constant response was, “There’s no need for all this. It’s better for men and women to maintain some distance.”
This caused Hu Jie to limit her interactions with Su Shen. It wasn’t until her father sacrificed himself for a mission, leaving behind a dying wish, that Su Shen, out of respect for Hu Jie’s father, agreed to marry her, albeit with conditions.
At that time, many people speculated behind their backs, suggesting that Su Shen was perhaps too proud, believing that Hu Jie was not worthy of him, hence his cold and passive attitude. They accused him of being ungrateful.
Hu Jie’s father held a high rank, and her mother’s family was influential. Being the only daughter in the family, she lived with her parents in the military camp.
In the camp, she was treated like a princess, pampered and indulged by everyone. There were many young and talented men who wished to marry her. However, Su Shen treated her with an almost indifferent attitude, which was seen as ungrateful. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Hu Bing did not comment on these speculations. However, the fact remained that if Su Shen and Hu Jie had indeed married, his status would have been elevated significantly.
Regrettably, they did not marry. He accepted an ungrateful secret mission and left the military area. Now, he wanted to retire and stay at home, taking care of a woman. It was indeed a pitiful situation.
There were plenty of women around, and although this woman was extraordinarily beautiful, it seemed that they had not known each other for long. How could Su Shen be so devoted? It appeared that this young woman was indeed very manipulative.
As Hu Bing was pondering this, his attention was drawn to a rich and unique aroma. He sniffed, realizing that he was indeed hungry, and his mouth began to water. The smell was delightful.
