Chapter 205: His Birthday Gift to Her

Seeing her so confused, Xiao Jinxuan raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, "I will take care of this matter, don't worry about it."

Xie Zhuoning shrugged, his brows relaxed, "That's right, I don't know the whole story, so I won't comment."

After all, she was just guessing and had no evidence, so she might be wrong.

"It's almost too late." Xiao Jinxuan glanced at the night scene outside the window and suddenly blurted out.

Xie Zhuoning looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean it's almost too late?"

"Come with me." Xiao Jinxuan held her wrist and walked out.

Before leaving the house, she did not forget to pull down the cloak on the rack and wrap herself up like an airtight dumpling.

The night is cold and the dew is heavy, and the wind is chilling.

However, Xie Zhuoning did not feel the slightest bit of coldness, because she was held by Xiao Jinxuan the entire time, all the way to the highest rooftop in the capital.

Standing at the edge and looking down, she suddenly felt dizzy and held onto Xiao Jinxuan in fear.

"Your Highness, you brought me here, didn't you mean to threaten me?"

"Threatened you?" Xiao Jinxuan didn't understand.

"Yes, look at this day, it's a dark and windy night, and look at this building, it's so high up into the sky, isn't it a good place to kill people, rob goods, and destroy bodies and traces?"

"If I don't agree to your terms, you can push me off here and I'll be smashed to pieces in the blink of an eye!"

"Then I can pretend that I fell down accidentally. It couldn't be more perfect!"

It’s scary just thinking about it!

Xiao Jinxuan was speechless and frowned: "..."

Can she think of something normal people would do?

He was so angry that he ended up laughing. He curled his lips deliberately and said meaningfully, "You reminded me. This is a good idea."

"Huh?" Xie Zhuoning's smile froze.

Is she digging a hole and burying herself?

I stepped back subconsciously, forgetting that I was on the roof.

His foot slipped on the gravel and he was about to fall.

Xiao Jinxuan hooked his long arm around her waist and held her in his arms again.

"You think you can get away?"

The breath was low and lingering, yet also exuding a sense of charm and danger.

It tempted Xie Zhuoning to sink into depravity, but also made him struggle to escape.

After struggling for a while, she negotiated, "If I don't agree, can you give me a different way to die? If I fall from a place like this, I'll turn into a pile of mud. It's not a good look. It's really not a good look. What if it scares the children?"

Xiao Jinxuan laughed dumbly, "You are quite considerate of others."

Xie Zhuoning's lips curled up, and he looked very proud, "That's what I should do!"

He looked at her and smiled, "Are you really not afraid of death?"

"I'm scared." Xie Zhuoning answered without thinking.

She never denied that she was greedy and afraid of death.

Only by living can you have the chance to be the one laughing last.

But when facing Ye Wuque, she didn't dare to bet on Ye Wuque's momentary softness.

But when facing Xiao Jinxuan, she firmly believed that he would never harm her, so she could be so calm and even had the mind to make a joke.

It was clearly Xiao Jinxuan who killed me in my previous life.

But at this moment, he became the one she trusted the most.

Fate is such a wonderful thing!

"Bang--"

A loud noise brought Xie Zhuoning back to his senses.

She followed the sound and saw clusters of fireworks rising into the sky, exploding in a staggered pattern, dazzling and colorful.

The bright colors illuminate the sky and are also imprinted in the pupils, making people sigh in amazement and extremely beautiful!

It’s not a festival at this time, so who would suddenly set off fireworks in the middle of the night?

Just as I was wondering in my heart, Xiao Jinxuan's voice rang in my ears, "Do you like it?"

Thinking of how he said it was almost too late, and how he insisted on bringing her here in the middle of the night, Xie Zhuoning understood in an instant.

This is the best place in the entire capital to watch fireworks.

These fireworks were set off for her by Xiao Jinxuan!

"I had intended to bring you here earlier, but Cui Wen's incident delayed me for a while. Fortunately, it's not yet midnight, so we can still make it."

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her, and in his eyes, there were twinkling stars, all gathered into the figure of a person.

Feeling the heat in those eyes, Xie Zhuoning subconsciously avoided them.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jinxuan asked hurriedly when he noticed that she was in a bad mood.

Xie Zhuoning shook his head lightly. "Nothing. I just thought that although fireworks are beautiful, they are short-lived and will not last forever."

Just like the two of them, they can live in peace for a short time now, but they don’t know whether they will be enemies or friends in the future.

Xiao Jinxuan said, "Everything has two sides. A moment of beauty is worth remembering forever. Isn't this another kind of permanence?"

The sunset returns to the mountains and sea, x

Fireworks to the stars.

Every year is in season,

May all your wishes come true.

This is what he really wants to give her, a birthday gift!

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows and slowly smiled.

That's right, worrying about the future and feeling depressed will only distort the scenery at this moment.

She raised her eyes and looked towards the sky, where flowers were in full bloom.

"Xiao Jinxuan, I like you very much!"

…

The next day.

Xie Zhuoning then walked around the Xie Mansion in high spirits and took a look at the condition of Old Madam Xie.

This is what she does every day now.

Before A-Yu comes back, she has to ensure that no one will tamper with her grandmother's condition again.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, she went to check on Si Xi's injuries again.

I also took some time to look through the account books of various stores.

Fuling brought her some tea and said with a smile, "Miss, you are in great spirits today. I guess you slept well yesterday."

Xie Zhuoning looked up in astonishment, "Why do you say that?"

"The young lady used to have nightmares all the time and never slept well. She felt listless when she woke up in the morning and had no energy at all."

It's nothing like today, full of energy and high morale.

"Really?" Xie Zhuoning thought about it.

They watched the fireworks too late yesterday, and she seemed to lean on Xiao Jinxuan's arms and fell asleep unconsciously.

When she woke up, she was already in her bedroom bed.

Compared to the past, she seemed to have no nightmares last night, so she slept particularly soundly.

Fuling asked happily, "How did you sleep last night, young lady? Did you take any food or medicine to help you sleep? Or was it because of the incense in the room? Or was it related to the weather? If I could know the reason, young lady wouldn't have to suffer from insomnia in the future!"

"Uh..." Xie Zhuoning couldn't answer.

The reason why she could sleep so soundly was most likely because of Xiao Jinxuan.

You can't just say, Hey, Your Highness Prince Xuan, are you interested in sleeping with me every day?

It’s ridiculous to think about it!

She shook her head, quickly getting rid of the thought, and asked Fuling, "By the way, why didn't I see Minglang come out to eat this morning? Is he sick?"

Fuling shook her head. "The young master is not ill. I saw him practicing martial arts in the martial arts field a while ago. But he seemed a little unhappy."

Xie Zhuoning was stunned for a moment, "Depressed?"

"Yes," Fuling said sympathetically, "Maybe it's because it was your birthday yesterday, but he didn't give you a surprise, so he was feeling a little down."

Xie Zhuoning then remembered that she had already turned down the invitation to go to the hot spring resort twice.

After his birthday, Xie Minglang would immediately go to the border, and he didn't know when they would meet again.

Without hesitation, she immediately ordered, "Tell the stable to prepare the carriage and go to the hot spring villa!"
