Kapitel 614: 613 So that's how it is_1

Lately, Shen Cong would vanish into his study as soon as he finished court matters, only appearing to join her for meals and when it was time for bed.

This wasn't much different from any ordinary couple.

Yet, Bai Lu could not shake off a nagging feeling. Even if the man was perfect towards her, she still felt distanced, a certain lack of intimacy.

She felt as if their hearts were never truly in sync.

She couldn't help but wonder, what was he thinking about in his study? What could he possibly be looking at?

Was he still hung up on that woman?

Studies were typically a man's domain; even the Madam would not enter casually without permission. So, these past few days, despite knowing Shen Cong's whereabouts, Bai Lu didn't disturb him at all.

Perhaps out of jealousy or spurred on by Xiaosong's words, she decided to take a bowl of green bean and lily soup to him and found herself standing outside of his study door.
