Chapter 733 Anger (6)
…
Shen Miao's arm was hurt by Xie Jingxing's pulling. Xie Jingxing walked away quickly without saying a word. She tried hard to keep up with Xie Jingxing's pace, but he was tall and had long legs, so she couldn't catch up with him. He almost tripped her several times.
In the end, Shen Miao’s anger rose and she shouted angrily, “Let me go!”
Xie Jingxing walked to a deserted corridor before suddenly releasing his grip. Shen Miao had been held by him for most of the way and was caught off guard by the sudden release of his grip, nearly falling headfirst. After he stood still, his anger flared up as he said, "You're crazy!"
This garden was further outside than the deserted garden just now. Shen Miao was a little afraid of being seen, so she was about to walk out by herself, but Xie Jingxing pulled her arm and pulled her back, pushing her against the wall, holding down her hands, and looking at her coldly.
He wore a silver mask, revealing his beautiful features, a graceful chin, and tightly pursed lips. The cynical smile of tomorrow was no longer in his eyes, but instead blazed with anger. He spoke word by word, "Chen Miao, is this all you are capable of?"
Shen Miao frowned and looked at him.
Xie Jingxing, however, stretched out his hand to hold her chin, forcing her to raise her head and look at him. He looked down at Shen Miao from a high position, just like a hunter looking down at his prey. Shen Miao did not like this kind of condescending gaze from above, and struggled to leave.
But she was a woman after all, how could she contend with Xie Jingxing's strength? The little strength she exerted was like a tickle on Xie Jingxing's body. Xie Jingxing easily dispelled her struggles, even slightly bending his knees to press against her legs, preventing her from moving.
But this posture is even more ambiguous.
Shen Miao asked, “What exactly do you want to do?”
Xie Jingxing's tone was indistinguishable from emotion. "Luo Ling, Su Mingfeng, Feng Zixian, and now Pei Lang has arrived. With so many people coming to the rescue, I underestimated you."
Shen Miao remained silent.
The strength in his hands suddenly increased, pinching Shen Miao's chin so hard that it hurt and he frowned slightly.
But the young man gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care who you marry, and I don't care if you force me to marry you. Do you want to marry into the Prince's Mansion?"
Shen Miao's heart stirred, thinking that Xie Jingxing had overheard what she and Pei Lang had just said. This man's favorite thing to do was to observe everything from the shadows. If it were any other day, Shen Miao would not have noticed anything, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a surge of anger. It was as if someone had seen some secret she didn't want to make public, or perhaps a worse side of her had been known, and she felt a surge of anger out of shame and indignation.
She sneered, "What's the big deal about marrying the Crown Prince? You know I want to be the Queen anyway. The Crown Prince will eventually take the throne. Who knows, if I enter the East Palace, I might defeat the Crown Princess and take the throne myself. I'll also be the future Queen Shen of Mingqi. What's wrong with that?"
These words were a bit too vicious, and Xie Jingxing's face turned even darker.
He also smiled, but his smile was cold: "It's a pity that the prince can't sit on the throne."
Shen Miao didn't know where Xie Jingxing's inexplicable anger came from, but at this moment, being questioned in such an awkward position, she felt extremely ashamed and aggrieved. Perhaps people's emotions under impulse were difficult to control even by themselves, just like she didn't know where her grievances came from, but she wanted to vent all the passiveness and unhappiness she had felt over the past few days.
Xie Jingxing pinched her chin, pressed against her legs, and restrained her hands. He was incredibly handsome, and even his anger had a unique charm. The evil aura lingered around him, making Shen Miao believe for a moment that the outwardly cynical, carefree, and unconcerned Xie Jingxing was only one side of him. The other side of him was cold, rigid, and chilling when angry.
No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was a pity that Shen Miao had no heart to appreciate it.
She said, "Even if he can't sit on the throne, it has nothing to do with you." Shen Miao raised her head to look at him, and spoke calmly, "Why did Your Highness Prince Rui come to question me? It seems that the relationship between you and me is not that good. Who I marry or who I don't marry, what does it have to do with you?"
After hearing this, Xie Jingxing actually smiled slowly.
He raised the corners of his lips in a half-smile, pinched Chen Miao's chin and pointed it towards him, saying, "When you were trying to haggle with me, when you were bargaining with me and calculating business, when you were using me to kill people, you were very capable. How come, now, this is all you are capable of? Huh?"
Shen Miao's eyes felt a little sore. She really hated Xie Jingxing's behavior at the moment. However, she couldn't break free. She hated herself for being so passive. She felt a fog in her eyes and felt very uncomfortable.
Xie Jingxing frowned and said, "Don't cry!"
Shen Miao's tears were about to fall, and she felt extremely ashamed. She had lived two lives, but Xie Jingxing's words made her want to cry. How could this be? But she couldn't relieve the grievances in her heart. She felt like a complete mess.
Not wanting to lose face but unable to break free, in a state of desperation, Shen Miao glared at Xie Jingxing and angrily said, “Xie Jingxing, don’t go too far!”
"Xie Jingxing?" A cry of surprise came from the bushes on the other side.
