Chapter 775 Marry You (6)
Shen Dongling also wanted to see who was more powerful between herself and Shen Miao. Including Shen Miao in her plan was much more interesting than scheming against Shen Yue.
…
Shen Miao, who was being "plotted" by Shen Dongling, was now holding her chin and playing chess with Xie Jingxing in the room.
Xie Jingxing played chess very well. Unlike Shen Miao who played steadily and planned step by step, Xie Jingxing seemed to be able to see at a glance the purpose of the chess pieces she had arranged long ago. Wherever Shen Miao made a move, Xie Jingxing would block her at the corresponding place. After playing for more than half an hour, Xie Jingxing had won several games against her, but the battle was still stalemate and difficult to decide.
In her previous life, Shen Miao had practiced chess diligently just to have a conversation with Fu Xiuyi. Even if she wasn't number one, she was at least hard to beat. But she couldn't fight Xie Jingxing's men. Xie Jingxing was like a nemesis. This was the first time Shen Miao had wanted to regret a move since she had mastered the art of chess.
Seeing Xie Jingxing eat several of her seeds in a row, Shen Miao said, "I'm tired. I won't eat anymore."
"Don't want to get off or can't get off?" Xie Jingxing said, "Please ask me, and I'll teach you."
Shen Miao was almost laughing at his words. He came over so late at night to play chess. It was Shen Miao's good nature that others would have already sent Xie Jingxing away. She said, "Thank you, but I don't want to." She wasn't planning on becoming a chess master, so why would she learn this? She was a little surprised that Xie Jingxing played so well. Xie Jingxing excelled in battlefield skills; she had never heard of him being particularly skilled in anything else. But then she thought, this man had the world at his fingertips. What little chess piece mattered to him?
She asked, "Have you arranged all your men for two days?"
Two days later was the day for the incense tasting, and it was also the first time she and Xie Jingxing teamed up to plot against others. The plot involved two princes, which would probably make people feel daunted if they told anyone about it. However, Shen Miao didn't think it was a big deal. She herself had given birth to a prince, and she didn't think the status of a prince was so unattainable. Xie Jingxing was even more so. His own brother was the emperor, and the prince was his nephew.
So from this point of view, it seemed very appropriate that she and Xie Jingxing were the two princes who were plotting against each other.
"Don't worry, it's foolproof." Xie Jingxing said, "Your carriage has been arranged. Do you really want to go?" He frowned, "You don't have to go."
“Why not go?” Shen Miao said, “Whether I go or not is none of my business, but… I hope they can make it more grand.” Shen Miao smiled slightly, “If I were to go, they would just make the situation more realistic, but in the end, they would find out that everything was wrong. Wouldn’t that be more interesting?”
Xie Jing Xing smiled and said, "So cruel?"
“Is it cruel?” Shen Miao asked back.
"Cruel." He nodded, his eyes shimmering like clear water, his thin lips curled slightly: "But I like it."
Shen Miao: “…”
Since that night, Xie Jingxing's words have become increasingly frivolous, but it was only in his words. His behavior towards her was still very respectful. Shen Miao was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden intrusion of someone into her life, but she had to admit that with Xie Jingxing around, many things became much easier. It seemed that what she had to work hard to do, Xie Jingxing could easily solve.
But if this kind of dependence continues, it will still make people feel uneasy. Shen Miao has not yet learned how to trust a person, or rather, trust a man. She is brave and resourceful in other matters, but when it comes to love, she has been deeply hurt. So, when it comes to love again, she is still as clumsy as a child. Even if someone teaches her gently, she is still stupid and slow to warm up.
Xie Jingxing stared at her nonchalantly, his eyes dark, his thoughts unclear. The chess pieces were at hand. The girl sat dignified and gentle, the light making her look soft and graceful, like a blooming lotus.
He had a handsome face, with dark eyes as deep as the night. He looked at the other person thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
“Once this matter is resolved, I will marry you, Shen Jiaojiao.”
