Chapter 48 Xiao Jinxuan, You Don’t Make Sense

Xie Zhuoning raised his head and met the person's eyes.

A familiar face, so handsome and unearthly.

He lowered his eyes, his forehead almost touching hers, and spoke softly, as if whispering in her ear, "Don't let anyone hear us. I'll be leaving in a moment."

The two were so close that Xie Zhuoning could clearly feel the hot aura vibrating around him.

The heat made her heart skip a beat.

"No," she twitched her lips, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, can you please give me a heads up next time you come? What if I accidentally hurt an innocent person?"

Just now, her hand had already touched the hilt of Akabane's sword.

Xiao Jinxuan was very calm, "You can't hurt me."

With her limited skills, it would be difficult for her to get close to him if he hadn't let her go.

Xie Zhuoning's cheeks were puffed with anger, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

How much do you look down on her?

That expression made Xiao Jinxuan's lips soften slightly.

Little girl, you are quite strong-willed.

"No," Xie Zhuoning suddenly realized, and quickly took off his clothes to check his injuries, "Didn't you say you were seriously ill and closed the door to visitors?"

How can he look like he's about to die?

Her hands were thin and soft, and they were weak and boneless. She scratched randomly, and it was unclear whether she had caused a wound or something else, causing Xiao Jinxuan to groan in pain, "Don't mess around."

Xie Zhuoning quickly withdrew his hand and asked nervously, "Did it hurt you?"

Xiao Jinxuan: “…”

What kind of vicious words are these?

"I'm fine," he explained. "I pretended to be sick in order to lure out the mastermind behind the assassination."

Although he suffered some injuries, they were not enough to take his life.

"Pretending?" Xie Zhuoning suddenly responded.

Why did His Majesty not say a word about asking the Crown Prince to entertain the Western Chu delegation? I'm afraid he already knew that Xiao Jinxuan was fine.

What crown prince, what Prince Yong, they were all fooled by this guy!

Thinking about how Xiao Bicheng's family put in so much effort, but in the end it all came to nothing.

She felt so happy that she held Xiao Jinxuan's head and smacked it, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, you are amazing!"

This happened so suddenly that after the kiss, both of them were stunned.

There was still some residual heat on his forehead, which made Xiao Jinxuan's breathing a little disordered.

Xie Zhuoning was so embarrassed at this moment that he scrunched his feet and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

So, people should not be too proud, because once they are proud, they will easily lose their composure.

Now she is pretending to be unconscious, I wonder if it is too late?

"How long are you going to lie on top of me?" Xiao Jinxuan's Adam's apple moved, and his voice became low and hoarse.

He was calling her "I" just now, but now he is calling her "this king", as if he is deliberately distancing himself from her.

It was just a kiss, was there any need to dislike her so much?

Xie Zhuoning snorted softly, "You were the one who pushed me over, not me. Now you're blaming me for what I did. Xiao Jinxuan, you're being unreasonable."

Maybe she was really angry, she didn't call him "Your Highness Prince Xuan" sweetly as she usually did.

But when he heard her pronounce his name softly, Xiao Jinxuan had a very strange feeling in his heart.

Not annoying.

Even, I hope she can call him again.

But the self-disciplined and polite Prince Xuan could not say this. He turned his head slightly and said, "I'm just afraid that you will yell and people outside will notice."

"Oh?" Xie Zhuoning's eyes suddenly turned when he heard this, and his expression became intriguing.

"We can't let outsiders know... Does His Royal Highness Prince Xuan want to meet me secretly?"

"Being in this imperial city, in front of the prince, it is really exciting~"

As she spoke, she did not forget to wink at Xiao Jinxuan.

This made him look angry. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Then tell me, why are you hiding in my carriage?"

When Hsiao Chin-hsuan felt uncomfortable, Hsieh Cheoning felt comfortable.

Anyway, women can't move once this guy touches them, so she became more and more aggressive. While talking, she showed no sign of getting up, but instead moved closer and closer.

When Xiao Jinxuan raised his head, he could see her eyelashes curly, the starlight in her eyes seemed to be sprinkled into the pool of water, and the smile seemed to overflow from the corners of her eyes.

He was stunned.

It took him a long while to find his voice again. "Ling Xiao sent a message saying that you sent someone to deliver the Flying Leaf Buddha Lotus."

He had been away from home for the past few days and happened to be nearby when he received the news.

Knowing that she had entered the palace to testify for the prince, he thought of waiting for her in Xie's carriage outside the palace gate.

The Flying Leaf Lotus is extremely valuable, and it is only right that he should come and express his gratitude.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it." Xie Zhuoning sat up straight, narrowed his eyes, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

She stretched out her arms to him, "Come back!"

"What else?" Xiao Jinxuan played dumb.

"Flying Leaf Lotus!" Xie Zhuoning said angrily, "You don't know how much thought I put into this thing!"

If it weren't for Feiye Fulian, she would not have bothered to go to the court to testify for Xiao Bicheng. She would have been happier to let him and Prince Yong fight each other!

"Since it is a gift given to me, there is no reason to take it back." Xiao Jinxuan said as a matter of course.

Xie Zhuoning was quite surprised by his attitude. "Your Highness Prince Xuan, when did you become so shameless?"

His injuries were clearly not serious, yet he still wanted to deceive her Flying Leaf Lotus!

Glancing at Xie Zhuoning expressionlessly, Xiao Jinxuan said, "I learned it from you."

If you stay with her and don't learn to be thick-skinned, you will always be the one who gets angry.

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

Well, today she finally understood what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.

After glaring at Xiao Jinxuan fiercely, she turned around and didn't want to look at him.

She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would smear his face!

Xiao Jinxuan stared at her back and suddenly said, "Sorry."

Is this... an apology to her?

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyes in surprise and turned to look at him.

"You know it's wrong?"

"Um."

"Now that you know you're wrong, what should you do?" She spread her hands again and waited for him to return the things.

But Xiao Jinxuan said, "Next time if something happens, I will let Ling Xiao inform you in advance and won't let you worry anymore."

"Who's worried about you? I'm just afraid that you'll die and I won't be able to ask for my debt back!" Xie Zhuoning retorted subconsciously.

And does he know he is wrong?

This is clearly ignorance!

"Yes, I know."

"You know shit!"

"Do you want to cancel the engagement?"

"I..." The sudden words almost entangled Xie Zhuoning.

She paused suddenly and looked at Xiao Jinxuan warily, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing." Xiao Jinxuan seemed to have returned to his usual deep and reserved look, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

"We have arrived at Xie's residence. Please get off the bus."

Xie Zhuoning opened the car curtain and got out. She didn't come to her senses until she stood in front of Xie's house.

No, why has Xiao Jinxuan become so weird recently?
