Chapter 758: Waves (1)

His kiss was scorching, but the silver mask was icy cold, as if carrying some unspoken emotions that came overwhelmingly. The more Shen Miao struggled, the tighter he held her, locking her in his arms and claiming her lips in a gesture like an oath.

The blossoming flowers of winter, the fluttering butterflies of autumn, the icy springs of summer, and the snowflakes of spring couldn't describe the wonder of this moment. The wind whistled in my ears, yet the beautiful young man's embrace was strong, his kiss searing, as if I couldn't escape it even if I spent my whole life.

When Xie Jingxing released Shen Miao, she nearly collapsed, almost suffocating. In her previous life, she had admired Fu Xiuyi, but from beginning to end, she had been one-sided. On Fu Xiuyi's wedding day, their bridal chamber was merely a perfunctory gesture; she had never experienced such intimacy with a man before.

Feeling that she had behaved a little inappropriately, Shen Miao became angry and glared at Xie Jingxing as Xie Jingxing held her up to prevent her from falling.

But she didn't know she had just been kissed, her eyes were so moist that they almost sparkled with tears. She was bright and pretty, with a flushed face and lips as red as flower petals, which made people want to love her even more.

Xie Jingxing looked away as if to conceal his mistake.

Besides feeling embarrassed and angry, Shen Miao also felt a bit bewildered. To be fair, she had more or less expected this situation.

As for why she didn't stop it or let it develop, it was just her subconscious reaction following her heart. Shen Miao didn't want to delve into the reasons.

"Tell me about your marriage." Xie Jingxing resumed his cynical tone and asked, "What are your plans now?"

Shen Miao looked at him in confusion: "What's your plan?"

Xie Jingxing narrowed his eyes at her, his tone somewhat dangerous: "Prince, Luo Ling, Feng Zixian, Su Mingfeng, Pei Lang, who do you want to marry?"

Shen Miao frowned, pretending to think seriously.

Xie Jingxing's eyes fixed, and he asked in a bad tone, "Do you really want to marry someone else?"

"Why can't I want to marry someone else?"

"You kissed me, touched me, and even dared to cuckold me. Shen Miao, you are quite courageous."

Shen Miao smiled slightly: "You don't want me to marry you, do you?"

"You're finally smart for once." Xie Jingxing said leisurely.

Shen Miao was stunned. It wasn't like she hadn't thought about her relationship with Xie Jingxing. They were allies, but in the end, they were more ambiguous than allies. The love affairs between men and women, even if they hadn't eaten pork, they had seen pigs run. Those same heartbeats at night made Shen Miao realize something.

But this didn't mean Xie Jingxing could marry her. Xie Jingxing was the Prince Rui of Daliang, and she was the legitimate daughter of a general in Mingqi. Regardless of whether Mingqi would agree, it would be difficult to explain to Emperor Yongle.

Especially looking at the current situation, Xie Jingxing seemed to have a very high status in Daliang. The greater the power he held, the more Emperor Yongle valued Xie Jingxing. A minister valued by the emperor had no choice in many matters.

Including one's own marriage.

While Shen Miao was still distracted, she heard Xie Jingxing say again, "Don't worry about anything. Just stay in the room embroidering your dowry and wait for me."

"When did I agree to marry you?" Shen Miao asked back.

"Oh?" Xie Jingxing thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't mind making it a done deal tonight."

Shen Miao looked at him warily, but Xie Jingxing smiled and said, "You seem to be looking forward to it."

Shen Miao decided she couldn't continue talking to Xie Jingxing like this. This guy was a mean-spirited person, constantly teasing people and making it impossible to talk properly. She said, "I have a solution for the Crown Prince's matter."
