Chapter 83: Meeting the Young Marquis at Night (4)
“No one knows, what’s the problem?” Shen Miao didn’t intend to listen to the two girls and looked at Xie Jingxing and said, “Come in.”
Xie Jingxing shrugged his shoulders and followed Shen Miao into the inner room. He then watched as Shen Miao calmly closed the door under the uneasy gazes of the two maids.
After lighting the oil lamp and closing the windows to block out the sound of the rain outside, Shen Miao sat down at the table.
Xie Jingxing stood against the wall with great interest, watching her leisurely pouring tea, and asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you?" Shen Miao asked back.
"A girl living in the same room with a strange man, aren't you afraid that I will do something to you?" His smile became more vicious, but also more handsome under the light.
“We have just listened to other people’s love affairs together. Don’t you think it’s too late to talk about fear now, young marquis?” Shen Miao said lightly.
Xie Jingxing was stunned, a look of disbelief suddenly spreading across his handsome face. He had experienced a lot over the years. He had seen everything others his age should have seen, and he had also seen things others shouldn't have seen. At least in Dingjing City, and even Mingqi, he was considered well-informed. But this was the first time a woman had mentioned the words "boudoir affairs" to him without batting an eyelid.
He couldn't see Shen Miao's expression in the darkness just now, but now thinking about it, ever since she left, Shen Miao's voice has been very calm, and her attitude has been very composed, as if the person who listened to the boudoir secrets with him was someone else. He almost suspected that this girl was a monster.
"Are you a woman or not?" Xie Jingxing asked, crossing his arms.
An ordinary girl should not be so embarrassed that she never mentions the matter again. However, she did not react before and mentioned it frankly afterwards without feeling any shame. Even if she is the daughter of a mighty general, she is really special.
Shen Miao said nothing.
Xie Jingxing nodded: "I almost forgot, you are not a woman, you are just a little girl."
Although Shen Miao had an old manner, she was actually quite charming, especially her fair face that hadn't lost its baby fat. When she wasn't talking, she looked much younger. Xie Jingxing thought, maybe she was too young and didn't understand what boudoir love was, so her attitude was so frank.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason. Xie Jingxing walked over, looked down at Shen Miao, and said, "I haven't settled the score with you for that incense stick just now. I almost fell too." He grabbed Shen Miao's face and pinched it hard twice: "What do you want to say?"
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment. She had not expected Xie Jingxing to do this suddenly. He seemed to find this very amusing and pinched her twice more. It was not a gentle pinch, but a merciless ravage. It was as if he really treated her as a young girl who was ignorant of the world.
"How dare you!" She shouted subconsciously.
As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned.
In the light, the young man's handsome face froze, and a pair of sharp dark eyes instantly flashed a complex expression. He withdrew his hand, chuckled, and said lightly: "This is the first time someone has told me that it is presumptuous."
Shen Miao was a little annoyed at her own loss of composure. Xie Jingxing always did things out of the ordinary. Just now, in her desperation, she had actually resorted to the manners of a queen from the front and back palaces. This man was extremely clever, so she had better not get caught. But she didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent.
Xie Jingxing broke the silence. He sat down on the chair opposite Shen Miao and poured himself a cup of tea. Suddenly, he thought of something and took out a paper package from his pocket and opened it. It turned out to be a row of exquisitely crafted pastries. It looked even better than the Guangfuzhai in the capital.
