Shen Jinlan couldn't help but sigh like this. A few days ago, Yuan Baoshu was quite alienated from him, and he didn't think it was strange even if he was kicked out of the Yuan family the next day. However, after these few days, she changed to another kind. Her attitude was no longer to send him to the outer courtyard as before, but to be by her side again. She would also deliberately show her closeness to him in front of others, and even put on the hairpin she had worn before.
But the way she looked at him from behind showed no shyness or obsession, only calmness. What on earth was she thinking?
Shen Jinlan originally thought that Yuan Baoshu was just a noble girl from the Xia Dynasty who liked to make money. She focused on reputation and was very easy to understand. But as time passed, he found that he could not understand Yuan Baoshu more and more. She was like a book. Likewise, he could guess the beginning, but not the process.
Unknowingly, he couldn't help but want to ponder Yuan Baoshu's thoughts more and more.
"Are you thinking, what am I thinking?"
Yuan Baoshu's soft voice sounded.
Shen Jinlan came back to his senses and looked at Yuan Baoshu with an unpredictable expression, "Are you willing to tell me?"
Yuan Baoshu pursed her lips and smiled, "Originally, I felt that you were not a suitable shield. So I have been looking for a new one in the past few days."
Shen Jinlan clenched his fists involuntarily, feeling unhappy in his heart - he had always been proud and could not accept that he was the one who was abandoned.
"It turns out that maybe it's because you are so good that I can't even find anyone I like." This was actually a lie. Yuan Baoshu was just thinking about how to get along with Shen Jinlan these days, and finally made a decision. Now this route - it is too difficult for her to pretend to be in love with Shen Jinlan, and it is easy for her to be exposed and suspected by the other party. She might as well be herself and act as a person who only focuses on her career. Shen Jinlan is not pretending anyway Do you fall in love with her? Even if she doesn't love him, as long as you give him a reason to stay, he will naturally do everything possible to seize it.
"If you want to blame it, blame it on you for doing too well."
Shen Jinlan's heart felt like it was hit by something, and it felt numb. This unfamiliar emotion made him subconsciously dare not look at Yuan Baoshu.
This was the first time that he was praised so sincerely and directly.
"When we have the best, why should I sacrifice what is close and seek what is far away?" Yuan Baoshu looked at him and said, "So are you willing to continue pretending to be the person I like in front of others?"
"It's just that I have to make it clear to you that I just need a fiancé in name who won't stop me. Right now, I just want to build more Salesian offices and don't want to talk about other things. I won't do it either. A good wife and mother in the eyes of the world may not be able to like you for the rest of her life, can you accept this?" Yuan Baoshu knew that Shen Jinlan would definitely nod in agreement.
Shen Jinlan listened to her calm voice. Her eyes were clear and her expression was determined. It was obvious that she had already thought about it.
Although this was far from what he wanted, he had no other option but to accept it temporarily.
If he agrees, he can stay with Yuan Baoshu and have the opportunity to make her fall in love with him. Even if she doesn't love him, he will be able to get more secret information based on his identity as her fiancé.
If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid that if Yuan Baoshu admires him again, she will drive him away without hesitation and choose another partner.
He deliberately showed a contradictory look that seemed melancholy and joyful, "Being able to stay by your side is already a dream that I can't even imagine. I don't dare to expect more."
Yuan Baoshu tilted her head and said, "How about happy cooperation?"
Shen Jinlan's originally nervous heart relaxed slightly.
Yuan Baoshu said calmly: "By the way, where is the hairpin you ordered some time ago? You can give it to me. I should wear it when I go out to meet my little sisters."
To do a show, you have to do the whole thing.
Yuan Baoshu encouraged herself: She can do it!
Shen Jinlan said: "I'll see you off later."
Yuan Baoshu said: "By the way, remember to order roses next time. I like roses better."
Yuan Baoshu originally preferred lotus flowers, but when her sister-in-law started planting roses, she fell in love with roses.
Roses are so wonderful. Not only are they beautiful, they can be used to make rose brine, rose cakes, rose essential oil and perfume.
Shen Jinlan had stayed in the princess mansion for a while, so he naturally knew what a rose looked like. He lowered his eyelids, and a faint and gentle smile appeared on his cold face, "I know."
"Okay, then come with me to visit the textile factory."
Yuan Baoshu would launch raids from time to time, fearing that her subordinates would violate the rules and treat the female workers in the factory harshly.
…
As Yuan Baoshu often brought Shen Jinlan with her, and the two were in pairs, other watching families in the capital knew: It seemed that even the Yuan family had acquiesced to this matter. Otherwise, how could a rich young lady do it? Are you so open to suspicion with your own bodyguards?
However, some people lamented that the Yuan family really only cares about their abilities and not their background.
Previously, Yuan Baoshu had been delayed in getting married, and some people thought that the Yuan family was too high-minded and spoiled for choice. Now everyone has changed their views.
Shen Jinlan stayed with Yuan Baoshu for a long time, and finally realized that she did not seem to be as tacky a woman as he first suspected.
He had never seen anyone like her who worked so hard for others and still enjoyed it. He heard that most of the business dividends she did fell into the hands of Princess Wei. The share she could get was, in comparison, The hard work she put in seemed a bit unworthy of mention.
No wonder Princess Wei can be so confident in being the hands-off shopkeeper, presumably because her temperament has been determined.
However, outsiders did not know the inside story and thought that Princess Wei treated Yuan Baoshu very well. She was like the sister-in-law of her dreams. She even thought that Yuan Baoshu should do as much as she wanted. It was obvious that Su Yueling had been staying in the princess's mansion and living a luxurious life, but Yuan Baoshu was She made herself a black sheep. Her brother Yuan Suijun, everyone said that he was extremely smart. He didn't believe that Yuan Suijun couldn't see this, but he also acquiesced in this matter, which shows that he cares for his sister every day. All of them are hypocritical.
Shen Jinlan couldn't help but think more deeply. The Yuan family allowed Yuan Baoshu to choose him as his fiancé, but did not choose a husband from a noble family for Yuan Baoshu. Is it just to make better use of Yuan Baoshu?
Yuan Baoshu looks very smart and worldly, but she is actually quite clumsy.
Shen Jinlan didn't realize that he had developed a faint pity for Yuan Baoshu unconsciously.
If his affairs are exposed in the future, then he should take Yuan Baoshu back with him so that she will not continue to be bullied. She has such good business skills, and the prince should be willing to value her.
When he was having random thoughts, Yuan Suifeng came to find him.
Yuan Suifeng's handsome face was full of high spirits, "Are you the guard who likes Baoshu?"
