Chapter 525 Marriage (2)
She felt a flash in front of her eyes, and something was on her face. She looked up and saw Xie Jingxing holding a handkerchief, wiping her tears.
She finally burst into tears.
The young man's hands were long and slender, and he bowed his head slightly. His movements were gentle, his eyes intent, as if he were performing the most delicate task in the world. His long eyelashes drooped, and his already picturesque appearance faded, his daytime indifference and mischief faded, revealing the gentlest of companions. Like a brother, but also like a friend.
Shen Miao was a little lost in thought. Until Xie Jingxing finished wiping her, he saw her gaze, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't cry anymore?"
She looked away: "Thank you." This time, her thanks were no longer dry and sarcastic like before. It seemed like this was the first time she used such a gentle tone.
Xie Jingxing also looked at her in surprise, then suddenly smiled and touched her head: "What did you dream about? You keep saying it's Madam Shen, what did you do wrong?"
Shen Miao was startled and looked at Xie Jingxing, asking, "What did I say in my dream?"
Xie Jing Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Say Madam Shen, you are wrong. Say I'm sorry, Madam Shen." He asked thoughtfully, "What mistake did you make in your dream? It's so serious."
Upon hearing this, Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief and perfunctorily said, "It's nothing, just a dream." However, she didn't know that her relieved look was seen by Xie Jingxing, who flexed his fingers slightly.
“However,” Shen Miao suddenly remembered something and looked at him and asked, “It’s so late, what are you doing here?” Even Shen Miao herself didn’t realize it. She was now accustomed to Xie Jingxing breaking into her boudoir in the middle of the night. There was no anger in her question at this moment, as if it was a very ordinary matter.
Xie Jingxing took out a letter from his sleeve: "I was planning to give you a gift."
Shen Miao glanced at him in confusion, then took the letter and opened it, only to be stunned when she saw it.
The densely written contents of the letter were nothing but Chang Zaiqing's affairs in Liuzhou. This included the fact that Chang Zaiqing had a husband and a son whom she had abandoned. These secrets were all Chang Zaiqing's secrets. She was stunned for a moment, not because of the contents of the letter, but because Xie Jingxing would give it to him.
"You don't seem surprised." Xie Jingxing turned his head to look at her: "Have you known this for a long time?"
“Thank you so much for your kindness, Prince Rui.” Shen Miao put the letter away and said, “Please don’t interfere in this matter, Prince Rui. I will handle it myself.”
Xie Jingxing looked at her for a while, then shook his head and smiled: "It's me who is meddling in other people's business."
Shen Miao was silent for a moment. For some reason, she felt the room was becoming somewhat cramped. She lowered her head, her gaze unconsciously landing on the corner of Xie Jingxing's robe beside his couch. The material was gorgeous, and the gold-thread embroidery was exquisite. She seemed to sense Xie Jingxing's probing gaze on her. Shen Miao raised her head and tried to look him in the eye calmly. "If everything is fine, you can go back."
Xie Jingxing stared at her.
Shen Miao frowned slightly. This man had pulled her out of her nightmare, and she should be grateful. But what kind of person was Xie Jingxing? He could see through her every ounce of his presence. The longer she stayed with him, the more likely he would devour her. Shen Miao didn't want her secrets exposed to others, especially since Xie Jingxing's identity was so sensitive. Even though Xie Jingxing hadn't shown any hostility towards her yet, Shen Miao didn't dare to be too reassured.
Xie Jingxing said, "It's raining so hard, you're letting me go?"
The rain outside the window was accompanied by gradually fading thunder, as if it would not stop all night. Shen Miao was so angry at his words that she almost forgot the heartache she had just felt. She asked, "Could it be that Prince Rui wants to stay here for the night?"
