Chapter 1413 I'm not letting you breathe anymore?
Xie Zheng visibly stiffened.
Before he could speak, Song Chunxue stood up and moved closer to him, lowering her voice to ask, "Why did you have to come along? Am I the kind of weak woman who needs your protection?"
"He is my master..."
"I asked Master Han, but he didn't explain. He said it was your idea, that you were worried about me and took leave specifically for me. Was it to supervise or to protect me?"
Her questions were so aggressive that Xie Zheng stiffened his neck. If it were someone in poor health, they would probably be sweating by now.
Song Chunxue was not at peace. Sanwa's question made her doubt what she was doing with all her diligent cultivation.
She didn't expect that Sanwa had seen through her long ago and knew that she couldn't let go.
Over the years, she had long thought she had let go.
But in the capital, seeing his white hair and witnessing his hypocrisy, it would be a lie to say that my heart was completely unmoved.
She was also saying one thing but meaning another.
They were both very awkward people.
Song Chunxue felt that she had lived two lives, seen through many things and many people, and re-analyzed herself, seriously analyzing what kind of person she really was.
However, when it comes to love, she finds herself to be a strange person.
In front of Xie Zheng, she didn't even know what her true feelings were.
In other aspects, she is mature, composed, experienced, and calm enough.
But Xie Zheng alone made her doubt herself repeatedly, and even hate herself.
Therefore, she planned to calmly and rationally investigate Xie Zheng's true feelings.
Xie Zheng was even worse than someone who said one thing but meant another.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" she asked in a low voice, reaching out to pull an old handkerchief from his pocket. "Is it so hard to answer?"
If I remember correctly, this handkerchief was a gift she gave him years ago. It was one of the ones she embroidered herself. It was very ugly and she had secretly thrown it away. I didn't expect him to still be carrying it.
So, the moment she accidentally caught a glimpse of it, she could no longer remain indifferent.
Xie Zheng was taken aback and snatched the handkerchief back. "This is... I found it in an old box for emergencies. I've run out of handkerchiefs."
"Why are you panicking? It seems you know I embroidered this?"
Xie Zheng tried his best to remain calm. "Yes, I haven't had any private dealings with anyone else."
Song Chunxue laughed, "You call this a secret transaction?"
"..." Xie Zheng was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry, I used the wrong words."
In the past, she would definitely have let him go.
But tonight, under the cover of another night, she calmly asked, "How should I describe it?"
Xie Zheng coughed twice, then turned to lift the curtain. "Where are we?"
He tried to change the subject.
Sanwa and Mulan were discussing the specifics of their son's marriage when Song Chunxue tugged at his sleeve, "Lord Xie, have you learned to beat around the bush?"
Sure enough, he was embarrassed.
Even his hands were stiff.
Sure enough, when she grasped his fingers, he became even more stiff.
He stood there like a stick, blankly trying to pull his hand back.
"If you break free, go under the carriage now and walk back by yourself."
"..." Xie Zheng finally turned to look at her, "Don't... don't talk about this now."
"Talk to him in private?" He'd been playing dumb in private, but now she had to push him a little. Song Chunxue leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Answer honestly, how much do you remember?"
"Or rather, what exactly do you mean by making me unconditionally accept your kindness, then remain indifferent and treat you as just an ordinary junior brother?"
"Yes, that's right." This time, he answered quite quickly.
"I won't let you have your way." Grabbing his stiff arm, Song Chunxue took a deep breath. "Either you avoid me and never come to see me again..."
"good!"
"Slap!" Song Chunxue slapped his arm hard, gritting her teeth as she said, "I haven't finished yet."
She whispered fiercely in his ear, "Who asked you to come along? This time it's my turn to take the initiative, Lord Xie."
"..."
"Hold your breath? Did I tell you not to breathe?"
"…………"
P.S.: After a year of delays, I'm finally nearing the end.
