Xie Qin's peach blossom eyes were filled with laughter, making it impossible to tell whether he was joking or serious.
But when he said that, he was less nonchalant than usual.
Seeing the current situation, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask, "Is Young Master Xie serious?"
"I am very fond of such a beautiful woman as Sister Su."
As Xie Qin spoke, ignoring Chen Changji's gaze, she turned her head to look at Su Miao.
"What about Sister Su?" Liu Jiaojiao asked.
When asked this question, Su Miao blushed and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for being very kind."
A simple sentence, though it didn't explicitly state whether she liked Xie Qin, was enough to make Liu Jiaojiao's imagination run wild.
After all, Xie Qin's background was not bad either, and there were many women in the capital who liked him.
"Feelings can't be rushed; they need to be nurtured slowly. There's no need for Miao'er to acknowledge me right now, but as long as Miao'er is willing, I'll always be here for her." Xie Qin looked at Su Miao with affection in her peach blossom eyes.
His implication was that there was no need to rush things; he had plenty of time to gradually build a relationship with Su Miao.
Xie Qin's intense gaze momentarily stunned Su Miao, leaving her unable to discern whether Xie Qin was merely putting on an act or harboring ulterior motives...
She admitted that Xie Qin was indeed not bad, and her appearance was no less than that of Shen Changji.
He wore a light blue robe, with handsome features and a gentle smile like a spring breeze. His refined and noble demeanor was tinged with a playful and unconventional air.
Although he appeared nonchalant, his gentle demeanor concealed a chilling ruthlessness that could kill without a trace.
How could someone who can be friends with Shen Changji be simple?
Although Xie Qin was more approachable than Shen Changji, he was still not easy to deal with on the inside.
Su Miao took a deep breath and reminded herself to keep a calm mind.
Upon hearing Xie Qin's words, Liu Jiaojiao smiled even more.
“Sister Su is so lucky to have won the favor of Prince Xie, isn’t she? Mr. Shen.” Liu Jiaojiao looked at Shen Changji.
He remained silent for a long time, then took a sip of tea.
Xie Qin smiled and glanced at the box in front of Liu Jiaojiao, saying, "If we're talking about good fortune, it has to be Miss Liu! General Shen, whom countless young ladies in the capital admire, has fallen into Miss Liu's hands."
Liu Jiaojiao blushed slightly, but she liked Xie Qin's words very much.
"Young Master Xie is really making fun of me."
"I wouldn't dare, after all, I'll be calling you sister-in-law soon. But I must say, Ziji's taste is getting better and better, this hairpin is quite good!" Xie Qin smiled with a hint of amusement.
Before Liu Jiaojiao could answer, Xie Qin had already taken out a small box from his sleeve and placed it in front of Su Miao.
"What a coincidence, isn't it? I also gave Sister Su a hairpin. I was planning to visit the Duke's mansion today, but who would have thought I'd run into Sister Su here?" Xie Qin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Su Miao looked at the exquisite wooden box in front of her, her expression somewhat surprised.
Xie Qin chuckled softly and reached out to open it for her.
Inside was a sandalwood hairpin with velvet flowers, the white velvet flowers tinged with a light blue gradient. Exquisitely placed on the sandalwood hairpin, it was both elegant and unique.
Su Miao's eyes lit up.
With this sandalwood hairpin, the colorful and gaudy items in Liu Jiaojiao's box suddenly seemed rather tacky.
"Do you like it? After all, I really liked the medicine pouch you gave me last time. So consider this a thank-you gift, don't feel embarrassed."
Xie Qin's voice is steady and gentle, making it very comfortable to listen to.
"The hairpin that Prince Xie gave me looks quite special; I'm starting to like it." Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but glance at Su Miao a few times.
"It's just putting myself in her shoes. After all, the medicine pouch made by Sister Su is quite special, so I naturally have to show some sincerity." Xie Qin looked at Su Miao with a smile in his eyes, which was extremely alluring.
Upon hearing the words "medicine pouch," Xie Qin could clearly sense a change in Shen Changji's expression.
But he didn't care at all, looking completely indifferent.
"Sister Su, it's rare for Young Master Xie to show such kindness, please accept it!" Liu Jiaojiao chimed in to help.
If they accept it, then Su Miao and Xie Qin will have a chance.
Although she tested Shen Changji repeatedly, Shen Changji only regarded Su Miao as a younger sister, but she was still worried about Su Miao's face!
If she could, she would love for Su Miao to marry Xie Qin the very next day!
"Since Miao'er will accept it, thank you very much."
Su Miao spoke softly, her grateful gaze falling on Xie Qin beside her.
If she continues to refuse, it will seem like she's being a bit pretentious.
Since she's already been offered the gift, she should accept it!
Xie Qin didn't flinch, meeting Su Miao's gaze directly, a smile playing on her lips and her eyebrows.
To outsiders, Su Miao's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and Xie Qin was as bright as the moon. The two seemed to be a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
But in Shen Changji's eyes, it inexplicably turned sour.
In particular, the gleaming medicine pouch at Xie Qin's waist stung Shen Changji's eyes, as if it were a silent provocation.
Upon hearing Su Miao's words, Xie Qin laughed heartily and said, "No need to thank me. Give and take is the best way. Zi Ji, what do you say?"
Although Xie Qin replied with Su Miaohua, she looked at Shen Changji with a deeper smile in her eyes.
Shen Changji glanced at him coldly, his eyes filled with indifference.
He didn't answer Xie Qin's question, but glanced outside and said calmly, "It's getting late."
Upon hearing Shen Changji's words, a dark glint flashed in Su Miao's eyes.
She hurriedly got up, bowed respectfully, and her beautiful face showed a look of anxiety.
"I almost forgot, I still need to go back and prepare medicine for my grandmother. Please excuse me, Miao'er, that I'll be going now."
After Su Miao finished speaking, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't stop her. She said a few words of regret and politeness, and then Su Miao left.
