Chapter 281: Two People Alone (5)
When she fell asleep, her face didn't show the aloofness and dignity that kept people at a distance. Her cheeks were still flushed from the day's tossing and turning. Wrapped in Xie Jingxing's slightly oversized fox fur coat, she truly looked like a little girl who hadn't grown up yet. Her hair had been slightly dried by the heater, and a strand of long hair covered her eyes. Perhaps it was a little itchy, so Shen Miao frowned in her sleep.
Xie Jingxing walked over to her, paused, and reached out to tuck the lock of hair covering her eyes behind her ear. He then fished out the jade begonia hairpin he had just plucked from Shen Miao's head from his sleeve, played with it for a moment, and gently inserted it into Shen Miao's hair. He crossed his arms and looked at Shen Miao for a while. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Sleeping peacefully in front of a strange man, you really don't know how to be afraid."
After sitting for a while, the boat suddenly stopped and finally reached the shore.
Xie Jingxing walked to the bow of the boat. Several men in black emerged from the shore. The leader said, "Master, everything has been handled. Master, are you returning home now?"
Xie Jingxing glanced back at the cabin and said, "Let's go to the Princess's Mansion first. Tieyi, bring a carriage over." He turned back and walked into the cabin, knocking on the small table. Shen Miao raised her head sleepily, and Xie Jingxing said, "We've reached the shore."
"Already arrived?" Shen Miao suddenly woke up, glanced out the window and was about to go out, but the injury on her leg had not healed yet, and as soon as she stood up, her legs went weak and she almost fell. Xie Jingxing grabbed her arm, thought for a moment, stretched out his hand to wrap Shen Miao's outer fox fur tighter, and directly picked her up horizontally with the fox fur, and walked out of the boat.
Shen Miao was startled and subconsciously reached out to hug Xie Jingxing's neck. Looking up, Xie Jingxing said with a frown, "Be honest and don't take advantage of me."
Shen Miao: "..." Xie Jingxing put one arm around her shoulders. He was tall and had long legs, so it was effortless for him to pick up Shen Miao. Shen Miao rested her head in his arms, and could feel his tall and strong chest and strong heartbeat. She actually felt a little uncomfortable.
After leaving the boat, they realized that a group of men in black were already standing outside. Seeing Xie Jingxing carrying a little girl out, although they tried their best to be patient, they all looked a little strange. Xie Jingxing was the most relaxed. He walked to the carriage, threw Shen Miao into the carriage, and said, "To the Princess's Mansion." He left without looking back.
The carriage lurched away, leaving the remaining men in black looking at each other in bewilderment. A tall, young man asked, "Tie Yi, why did the master bring out a girl? What's the relationship between the girl and the master?"
"Yes, yes," another woman came over, stroking her chin and pondering, "For so many years, so many beauties have been unable to get close to the master. So it turns out that the master likes this." Her eyes lit up: "Ha, no wonder."
"Go away, who said that?" Another charming, mature woman said dissatisfiedly, "What's so good about that yellow-haired girl? Has her hair grown out yet?"
"Huo Long, I know you like the Master, but jealousy can't do this." The woman from before smiled and looked at the middle-aged man in the middle: "Tie Yi, you are closest to the Master. Who is that little girl? What happened between her and the Master? Tell us."
"Shut up!" Tieyi, who was standing in the middle, said in frustration, "Everyone, go back! The Anbu people are so idle, go guard the tower tomorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately retreated and said, "I suddenly remembered something else," "Have the bodies of those people been dealt with?", "Let's go back to the Anbu to report the situation first," "It's really dangerous today," and they walked away while chatting.
Tieyi breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and disappeared into the night.
