Chapter 120 Are you jealous?

Xie Zhuoning dragged Wen Yan to the bed without any regret and stuffed him under the bed.

Otherwise, if someone saw Wen Yan unconscious in her room, they might think that she had some special fetish and was plotting something bad towards someone else's little brother.

You know what, one is not too many, two is not too few, and three is just right.

If I add one more, it won’t fit under the bed.

After tidying up her hair and clothes, she walked to the door and asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

The moment the door opened, a familiar face came into view.

The moonlight was bright, and Xiao Jinxuan was dressed in a white robe, looking cold and aloof, like a banished immortal walking on the moon.

Xie Zhuoning was stunned for a second.

She guessed everyone, but she couldn't guess that the person who would come would be Xiao Jinxuan, the most self-disciplined and polite person.

While she was stunned, Xiao Jinxuan took a step forward and walked straight into the house.

Seeing two empty teacups on the table, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there any guests?"

"No, I drink from two cups for fun."

Xie Zhuoning came to his senses and quickly put away all the teacups.

Xiao Jinxuan can no longer be invited to drink tea. It doesn’t matter whether he gets tricked or not. The main thing is that there is really no room under her bed.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't say anything, he just lifted his robe and sat down opposite her.

Thinking that Ye Wuque would wake up soon, Xie Zhuoning decided to make a quick decision. "I wonder what His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is doing visiting me so late at night?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Jinxuan said calmly, "I just found out that the person who bid with Xiao Yi in the Crimson Tower was not the eldest prince's man, and through a few beggars who sang nursery rhymes, I found out who spread the rumor. There seems to be some connection between the two..."

"I am stupid and don't quite understand, so I want to ask Miss Xie for advice."

Xie Zhuoning's eyes narrowed, and her heart seemed to be suddenly grasped by a big hand, causing her heart to skip a beat.

She was too confident and thought that if she kept her plan secret from the four extremely intelligent brothers, Xiao Jinxuan would not know about it.

But he is such a smart man, how could he not find it if he wanted to check?

Xie Zhuoning pulled the corner of his mouth dryly, "Your Highness Prince Xuan thinks too highly of me. How can I think of a problem that you can't figure out?"

"Really?" Xiao Jinxuan looked at him steadily. "I will report to His Majesty tomorrow morning. If you can't figure it out, I'm afraid I can only present a piece of evidence and let His Majesty think about it."

No wonder Xiao Jinxuan came to see her tonight...

He was afraid that he had already found Murong Yan. If he presented the evidence to the emperor tomorrow, Murong Yan would be in danger!

What to do?

What should she do?

Xie Zhuoning clutched the hem of her skirt, feeling somewhat flustered.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxuan looked around and suddenly asked, "By the way, where is your male lover? It's been a long night, why didn't he come to serve you?"

"Ah?" Xie Zhuoning raised his head and was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Yang Lie. He said casually, "He was here tonight."

He had indeed been here, and the person had not left yet, lying under the bed.

Xiao Jinxuan's face turned dark, as if splashed with ink.

After a long while, he said, "Kill him, and I will protect Murong Yan for you."

Once Murong Yan's link is broken, they will never be able to trace her back.

"That won't work." Xie Zhuoning shook his head, "I still have some use for him."

Still useful?

You can imagine what use a male pet can be!

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan gritted his teeth and veins on his forehead throbbed, "Xie Zhuoning, do you know that you are not married yet?"

An unmarried woman keeps a male pet at home. Does she really think that no one can control her?

Seeing how angry he was, Xie Zhuoning suddenly moved closer, only an inch away from him.

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and each other's reflection was reflected in the eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her expression was a little cunning, "Xiao Jinxuan, are you jealous?"

The clenched fist loosened again, and Xiao Jinxuan looked at her without hesitation, "So what?"

So what?

He admitted it so frankly!

Xie Zhuoning was stunned for a moment, and was a little overwhelmed by his straightforwardness.

"I...you..."

Seeing her panic, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes dimmed and he said calmly, "How come you are so smart, but you can't see that I like you?"

Xie Zhuoning opened his eyes wide and his mouth wide, completely stunned.

Xiao Jinxuan likes her.

Xiao Jinxuan actually likes her?

How is that possible?

Doesn't he hate her the most?

"Wait, let me digest it first..."

Xie Zhuoning squatted in the corner, his thoughts in a mess.

Isn’t it a good thing that Xiao Jinxuan likes her?

He could just take advantage of his love for himself and persuade him to join the fight for the throne.

This is undoubtedly the most feasible and least expensive solution at present.

But why did she feel a little reluctant to do so?

Is she afraid that one day he will discover her selfishness, see her exploitation, turn against her, and end up in the same situation as in the previous life?

After Xiao Jinxuan said this, he felt a little regretful.

The last time I said this was when Xie Zhuoning was in a coma.

Originally, he planned to help her break up the engagement first, and then tell her these things.

But today, for some reason, I said those words impulsively.

Obviously, he likes to plan everything and is never an impulsive person.

Seeing Xie Zhuoning so entangled, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "I like you, it's my business."

Therefore, she doesn't have to worry about anything.

Xie Zhuoning raised his head and asked weakly, "If I reject you, will you still protect Murong Yan for me?"

Sighing helplessly, Xiao Jinxuan actually felt like he had no way to deal with her at all.

"If I really wanted to do something to him, he would have been in the prison of the Yufu Division a few days ago."

The emperor asked him to investigate the matter to see if it had any connection with party disputes.

But once it becomes involved with party struggles, a large number of officials will inevitably be brought down.

It would be better to just characterize it as Xiao Bicheng and Xiao Yi fighting for the chance to win the most beautiful courtesan, and turning it into a scandal.

Xie Zhuoning finally reacted, his face flushed with anger, "You tried to scare me on purpose!"

Seeing the ferocious look, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help laughing, "You don't look like you're scared."

Besides, how could he come to see her if he didn't find an excuse on purpose?

Xie Zhuoning touched his chest, looking frightened, "You're talking nonsense. I'm almost scared to death."

"You are so scared that you dare to provoke the eldest prince and Prince Yong? I think you have lived enough."

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes fell on Xie Zhuoning's face, as if he wanted to see through her.

He asked word by word, "Xie Zhuoning, can you tell me what you want to do?"

"I..." Xie Zhuoning paused, then smiled, "I want to stir up trouble and break off the engagement with Xiao Bicheng while the situation is going on!"

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes dimmed.

Are you still refusing to tell him the truth?

She seems to be always worried about something.

What are you worried about?

"I said I would help you, and I will. Soon, you will achieve what you want."

He had already begun secretly helping her plan to break off the engagement.

Now we just have to wait for the right time.

Xie Zhuoning never expected that Xiao Jinxuan was actually prepared to help her break off the engagement.

He has always been good at planning and with his help, this marriage might actually be called off!

She was delighted, "Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Xuan first!"

Xiao Jinxuan asked, "Just a thank you?"

Otherwise...

She went to the warehouse to look around to see if there was anything suitable as a thank-you gift.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xiao Jinxuan say, "Why don't you buy me a cup of tea?"

Xie Zhuoning's lips twitched, "...Do you really have to drink tea?"
