Chapter 751: Exposed (6)
Princess Rongxin pointed at him tremblingly and asked, "What did you call me?"
The young man in purple in the room was tall and slender. He slowly reached out and touched his mask.
He took off the mask, allowing people to see his outstanding facial features clearly.
Unparalleled beauty, with a graceful figure like a pine tree.
Those beautiful, peach blossom eyes, always gleaming with a hint of brilliance, were filled with a smile of wit and charm, but the smile on his lips carried a hint of mockery. Thus, the wit and charm were masked, and a hint of indifference and pride gradually emerged.
A strange Xie Jingxing, a young man completely different from the ostentatious and handsome young man, but he still had the faint trace of his youthful arrogance. But now, that arrogance was slowly being suppressed, replaced by a dangerous and terrifying edge.
He put the mask back on, but spoke nonchalantly and lazily, "How are you, Aunt Rong?"
Princess Rongxin was stunned for a long time, and seemed to have just recovered from her shock.
She looked at Xie Jingxing, sizing him up and down with unfamiliar eyes, and asked in an unclear tone, "Should I call you Prince Rui or...Xie Jingxing?"
The alienation and defensiveness in those words made Shen Miao unable to help but be shocked.
She had also imagined what would happen if Xie Jingxing and Princess Rong Xin really ran into each other, but she had never imagined it would be like this. The family affection in the past was all a deception and a joke, but the hostility displayed by Princess Rong Xin in this short moment was truly surprising.
Xie Jingxing said, "Princess, please feel free to do as you please."
"Did you send the medicine?" asked Princess Rongxin.
Xie Jingxing just smiled and said nothing.
Princess Rongxin also smiled. "I dare not accept Prince Rui's things for nothing. I think these herbs are quite expensive. I will have someone send the money to Prince Rui's palace later. Thank you, Prince Rui."
"No need." Xie Jingxing said.
"Prince Rui came here to..." Princess Rongxin's voice was polite and alert. It didn't sound like she was talking to her "son" who had come back from the dead. It was the tone of someone talking to a complete stranger, or even an enemy.
“She knows nothing.” Xie Jingxing nodded his chin towards Shen Miao and said, “If the princess has any doubts, she can just ask me directly. There’s no need to embarrass her.”
"How dare I make things difficult for her?" Princess Rongxin sneered, but her tone was somewhat complicated.
"That's good." Xie Jingxing came over and put his arm around Shen Miao's shoulders. He didn't care about Shen Miao's expression and said, "The King will come to explain today's matter in person tomorrow. Princess, if you have any dissatisfaction or misunderstanding with me, please don't implicate others." He raised his lips and smiled, "Prince Rui's Mansion will be waiting for you at any time."
After saying that, he didn’t care about Princess Rongxin’s reaction and took Shen Miao a few steps forward and rushed out through the window.
Shen Miao was shocked by Xie Jingxing's actions today. He hadn't even reacted when he was taken away from the Princess's Mansion. She had never imagined that Xie Jingxing would dare to show up so brazenly in the Princess's Mansion. He had to reveal his identity to Princess Rongxin. Although Xie Jingxing and Princess Rongxin were like mother and son, that was in the past. Xie Jingxing was now a Daliang, and the difference in national identity would cause many things to change. Especially in such a delicate position as theirs.
For example, after Princess Rongxin saw Xie Jingxing today, Shen Miao thought that Princess Rongxin would be hysterical, questioning angrily, or crying in pain. However, the first thing Princess Rongxin showed was her defensiveness.
She was sarcastic, calmly testing, polite and courteous, without any embarrassment. Such restrained emotions revealed nothing but the same truth. In front of the resurrected Xie Jingxing, Princess Rongxin was more suspicious than happy.
Princess Rong Xin’s words resurfaced in Shen Miao’s ears.
"It seems like he knew exactly what he wanted and didn't want from a very young age. He wouldn't even glance at anything he didn't want, and he would grab hold of the things he wanted from the very beginning. He always smiled and was popular with girls, but he didn't show any special feelings to any of them. In fact, he was more indifferent than anyone else."
Had Xie Jingxing known this day would come since he was little, and so attributed this affection to the "unwanted" part? It wasn't that he didn't want it, but that he couldn't afford it. Because even if he wanted it, he would eventually lose it. Family members would become enemies, and eyes that were once filled with love would turn defensive. If that was the case, it would be better to be strangers from the beginning. Without closeness, there would be no moment of disappointment.
Shen Miao suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.
