Chapter 1773

The atmosphere between Chen Xuan and Ji Wushuang suddenly turned subtle once again. As a girl, Ji Wushuang pondered far more than Chen Xuan did. Although she had approached Chen Xuan with her own objectives from the very beginning, when Chen Xuan first met her at the Oriental family’s estate in Jiangnan, he had also perceived her as a beautiful woman who was very proactive toward him. In reality, however, neither then nor afterward had Ji Wushuang shown any particular romantic interest in him. After their initial meeting in Jiangnan, they did not have much interaction. It was only after Chen Xuan nearly died in Zilang City—and Ji Wushuang spent a month divining his fate before finally appearing to save his life—that the two could be considered truly acquainted. To Chen Xuan, Ji Wushuang was his great benefactor, but they were not quite what one would call close friends. Later, when Chen Xuan’s engagement ceremony with Shen Binglan took place, Ji Wushuang had suddenly stormed into the venue, forcibly demanding that he call it off. To outsiders, it appeared that she was in love with him and had staged a dramatic scene to steal the groom. In truth, even after that incident, no spark had ignited between them.
