Chapter 235 Soft Heart (1)
"Don't look at me, I won't be able to bear it."
Time strangely stopped for a moment, and everything in the world seemed to have lost its sound. The flickering lights in the room still couldn't compare to the allure of that person's eyes. They were clearly the most intimate of gestures, as ambiguous and hazy as a lover's whisper, but in an instant, everything turned to murderous intent.
Xie Jingxing lowered his eyes, and the place under his palm was slightly warm. He seemed to feel his eyelashes fluttering slightly, like fluffy butterfly wings, flapping, trying to fly away, but being caught and unable to fly away.
"Gao Yang, get out." Xie Jingxing said.
Gao Yang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"You go out first." Xie Jingxing said calmly.
Gao Yang glanced at him, said nothing, picked up the things he had just wrapped in cloth, turned around and walked out. After his footsteps disappeared into the distance, Xie Jingxing slowly loosened his grip.
He spread out his hands, and in the light of the lamp, there seemed to be crystals twinkling in his white palms.
Just now Shen Miao seemed to be crying.
Xie Jingxing said lazily, "It's just death, why are you crying?" He wanted to say more, but stopped abruptly when he saw the expression of the girl in front of him.
Shen Miao had delicate features, and even the slight hint of childishness on her face was now obscured by the coldness on her face. Her eyes were as clear as water, but she didn't look the least bit sad or tearful. She must have been playing a trick just now, she wasn't afraid at all. As Xie Jingxing's mind raced, he saw Shen Miao suddenly raise her elbow and strike him in the chest. The blow was fierce and accurate. If it were anyone else, they would have been knocked to the ground, but Xie Jingxing only swayed slightly and had already grabbed Shen Miao's left arm. Shen Miao was pulled so hard that she almost fell into Xie Jingxing's arms. But she quickly took out something from her sleeve and stabbed Xie Jingxing's arm without hesitation.
The hairpin was originally tiny and could not be seen without paying attention. Shen Miao's action was also vicious. She did not show any mercy and the hairpin was stabbed into the latter's arm. Xie Jingxing's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand and paused. Shen Miao was thrown in front of the stone wall again.
Xie Jingxing's hand gripped Shen Miao's fragile neck, as if with just a little force, it could be easily broken. His voice was slightly deep, with a hint of anger, and he said, "As expected of someone from the General's Mansion, you've mastered the art of sneak attacks."
Shen Miao's gaze fell on Xie Jingxing's arm, where half of the hairpin had fallen out. Blood was slowly flowing out, staining his sleeves red and sticking wetly to his arm. Xie Jingxing followed Shen Miao's gaze and smiled nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if it's poisonous. I will definitely kill you before that happens."
His eyes were extremely beautiful, and were most captivating when he looked at people nonchalantly. If his half-smiley expression were seen by a girl from Dingjing City, she would probably start another argument. However, Shen Miao saw in them a well-hidden indifference and coldness.
What kind of person was Xie Jingxing? He seemed quite complex. The impression he had in Dingjing City was that he was capable but cynical. His unruly nature meant he was uncontrollable and unable to achieve success in officialdom. Yet, at this moment, Shen Miao began to doubt in her heart: was the Xie Jingxing that the world saw as real? He was indeed unruly and fierce, but could such a person, hiding himself so deeply, really have no intention of seeking power and power?
Xie Jingxing seemed dissatisfied with her distraction and approached her, staring at her and said, "Shen Miao, if I kill you today, there will be no one to protect the Shen family in the future."
Shen Miao's eyes moved, and she saw Xie Jingxing's malicious smile in front of her: "Shen Yuan has returned to the capital, and the second and third branches of the Shen family have joined forces. What are the chances of Shen Xin winning?" His palm slowly tightened, and every word was aimed at Shen Miao's fatal weakness: "The Fu family is eyeing the Shen family covetously. Shen Xin's future will be difficult. Whatever you seek and what you plan will be destroyed in my hands today. If you want revenge, you will have to wait for the rest of your life."
