Chapter 473 Meeting an Old Friend (4)
Xie Jingxing choked, not knowing what he was thinking about. His lazy expression froze for a moment. Seeing him like this, Shen Miao felt extremely happy. Before she could say anything, Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, "You are so worried about me. It seems that you are really attracted to me?"
Shen Miao asked, “Does Prince Rui know how to write the four characters ‘self-love’?” Disgusted by Xie Jingxing’s “little characters” and unable to call him Young Marquis Xie anymore, Shen Miao simply replaced him with the cold “Prince Rui”, clearly intending to draw a clear line between them.
"You weren't so ruthless when you hugged me and kissed me forcefully," he said.
Shen Miao stared at him with eyes wide open in disbelief, but she didn't know that he looked exactly like a fawn that had just been born in a mountain stream, with clear and round black eyes, very delicate and pitiful.
She said, "What do you mean by that?"
Xie Jingxing stretched out his hand and pinched her face. His movements were too fast and Shen Miao couldn't dodge in time. By the time she reacted, Xie Jingxing had already withdrawn his hand. After a brief thought, he said, "It seems you don't remember. On the first night you left Beijing, I told you something else."
Shen Miao was stunned and looked at him without saying a word.
Xie Jingxing sighed: "Sure enough, he doesn't recognize people after drinking. Don't you remember what you did to me?"
Shen Miao's face showed a conflicted look.
As the saying goes, drinking leads to promiscuity and ruining things. She actually had a pretty good alcohol tolerance, but the plum wine she'd drunk that night was too intoxicating. To avoid saying or doing something wrong that might arouse suspicion, she'd managed to avoid the crowd and sleep in a separate room. She'd never imagined... Xie Jingxing had come?
"Prince Rui is joking. We're just casual acquaintances, what can I possibly do?" Shen Miao suppressed her inner uneasiness, maintaining a composed expression. However, she knew very little about the relationships between men and women. In her previous life, she had simply flattered Fu Xiuyi, and had no idea what men were thinking. In this regard, she was truly naive and inexperienced. And dealing with someone as ruthless as Xie Jingxing was truly inexperienced and ruthless.
Xie Jingxing smiled and didn't rush to argue. He spoke slowly and calmly: "You seem to want to be the queen very much. After getting drunk, you even dragged Eunuch Li to watch the fireworks, and even asked the prince and princess to accompany you." He looked at Shen Miao with interest: "Queen Shen?"
Shen Miao was trying to hide the fact that she was drinking tea, but she almost spit it out!
It had been so many years since she had heard this name. For a moment, Shen Miao almost thought she was dreaming. She was afraid that the reality of being reborn with flowers and relatives around her was just a beautiful dream. After waking up from the dream, she would still be in that cold palace, step by step towards the end of losing her children and her family.
Shen Miao's entire body froze, yet she had to admit a fact. She had originally thought Xie Jingxing had deliberately said this to trick her, but now it seemed that Xie Jingxing had really come that night, and had really witnessed her drunken state. Otherwise, Xie Jingxing wasn't a deity, so how could he know so much? But...how much had she said, and how much had Xie Jingxing heard? With Xie Jingxing being so clever, how much had he actually guessed?
Xie Jingxing's eyes darkened as she watched him with such uneasiness. He then smiled and said, "There's no need to be so scared. I've always been tolerant of women. Do you want to know what you did to me?"
"What did I do?" Shen Miao looked at him calmly.
"It's nothing." Xie Jingxing lazily propped his chin up with his hand, as if he was thinking, but what he said was shocking: "You just hugged me and wouldn't let me leave, pressed me down and kissed me, and cried and shouted that you wanted to be my queen, and asked me not to ignore you."
Shen Miao: “…”
"I haven't done anything like that." Shen Miao said. No matter how drunk she was, she wouldn't have any romantic thoughts about Xie Jingxing. Furthermore, that kind of behavior wasn't her style.
