Chapter 84: Night Encounter with the Young Marquis (5)
Xie Jingxing ate cakes and drank tea in big mouthfuls, saying, "I came here in a hurry and didn't even have dinner. Tsk, this tea is really hard to drink." He looked like a picky young man.
“Lord Xie, are you here for tea and snacks?” Shen Miao looked at him.
"Of course not." Xie Jingxing suddenly smiled, picked up a dessert and stuffed it into Shen Miao's mouth. His movements were too fast, and when Shen Miao reacted, her mouth was already filled with a sweet taste.
Xie Jingxing held his chin up and glanced at her. His posture was relaxed, but his words were sharp.
"Eat my food, now answer my questions."
The delicate fragrance of the pastry melted in the mouth, with a light sweetness and a moderate fruity taste, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Even someone like Shen Miao who didn't like sweet food couldn't help but find it delicious.
"What is the relationship between Prince Yu and you?"
Shen Miao looked at him: "You might as well ask me why I did this tonight."
"If you're willing to talk, I'm all ears."
"If you insult someone, you will be insulted in return. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
Xie Jingxing's expression changed slightly as he raised his lips to smile, his tone somewhat inexplicable: "You are so cruel to pair up your sister and the old dog Prince Yu."
Only a lawless person like Xie Jingxing would dare to call Prince Yu an "old dog".
“When they sent me out, they never thought of me as a younger sister.” Shen Miao retorted sharply.
Her words were cold, and she didn't hide her disgust and contempt for those people. In the light, her expression was indifferent, and her eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
"You are such an ignorant girl." Xie Jingxing stretched himself lazily. "Prince Yu will not forgive you after this."
“That also depends on whether he has the ability.” Shen Miao was unmoved.
"You've said so much to me..." Xie Jingxing pondered, and suddenly leaned forward, almost reaching the tip of Shen Miao's nose. He was so close that even Shen Miao couldn't help but be slightly startled. However, she didn't want to be overwhelmed, so she sat still.
The young man had an extremely handsome face, a wicked smile on his lips, and a deliberately frivolous voice as he whispered in her ear, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell others?"
"Young Marquis, you can do whatever you like. I'm curious as to whether the Lin'an Marquisate has any plans to send the eldest son to Wolong Temple in the middle of the night to relax."
Xie Jingxing's presence here tonight was no accident. He was accompanied by a group of skilled black-clad men, and his identity was even more shocking. There were no coincidences in this world. Xie Jingxing hadn't come to see her; he was probably planning something, and the two of them just happened to bump into each other.
The boy had beautiful eyes, a pair of extremely gorgeous peach blossom eyes. When he smiled, he could attract people's attention. However, when he cooled down, he emitted a cold and dangerous light.
For a moment, Shen Miao was overwhelmed by Xie Jingxing's aura. It's not like she had never seen those people with intimidating power before, such as the Qin royal family, the Mingqi royal family, and even the extremely arrogant Xiongnu, but the man in front of her seemed even more dangerous.
"You're quite courageous." He smiled.
"Same here."
Xie Jingxing stood up, glanced at her, and said calmly, "I have no interest in the old dog's affairs. If you dare to reveal even a little bit about what happened tonight, Shen family girl, killing someone to silence them is not just talk."
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the window and rushed out, disappearing in the rain at night.
The cool rain drifted in through the window and landed on Shen Miao's cheeks. The chill crept up her cheeks, and the wind cleared her mind a little, and Shen Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
