Chapter 70 Xiao Jinxuan, We Are Not the Same Kind of People

Murong Yan grumbled.

In what capacity?

What kind of status can a bankrupt painting dealer like him have?

To put it nicely, it was her plot.

To put it bluntly, he is at best her running dog.

"He is my friend."

Hearing Xie Zhuoning's voice, Murong Xu looked up in disbelief.

Her tone was serious and her expression was solemn, without any joking in her face.

She took a step forward, and seemed to have made up her mind. She compromised with the people in the car, "I can get in the car, but let him go."

"No!" Murong Xu objected excitedly.

Xie Zhuoning comforted him, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan just wanted to talk to me about something, he's not the type to do anything reckless. You should go back first, isn't there something urgent at home?"

She emphasized the word "urgent".

Murong Xu gritted his teeth.

He knew that he had to go back and make arrangements quickly so that Xie Zhuoning's previous efforts would not be in vain.

Moreover, Xie Zhuoning's words revealed his trust in Prince Xuan, which made him seem like a meddler.

"Then you, be careful."

After Murong Yan finished speaking, he looked at the carriage again and turned away.

Ling Xiao glanced inside the car and didn't hear his master's instructions, so he let him leave without stopping him.

Signaling Xia Ju to follow outside the carriage, Xie Zhuoning lifted her skirt and got on the carriage.

Xiao Jinxuan was wearing a jet-black brocade robe with a golden python pattern. He had a pair of dark, fierce eyes, which were shockingly sharp, like the cold, bright moonlight.

He used to wear white clothes all the time, and was elegant and graceful, with an indescribable charm and spirit.

But after seeing him dressed in black at Fu'an Temple, Xie Zhuoning suddenly felt that this guy was not as high and mighty as the legend said, like a god.

After entering the carriage, Xie Zhuoning chose a seat farthest away from him and closest to the door.

He didn’t know if it was because the lighting inside the car was not good, but Xie Zhuoning always felt that Xiao Jinxuan’s face was a little scary because of its dark complexion.

"Does the king let you avoid me like a snake or a scorpion?" He finally spoke, his tone was very bad.

They neither wanted to see him nor accepted his things, as if he were some deadly thing.

If he hadn't been afraid that she was really sick and hadn't sent people to keep an eye on the Xie Mansion, he wouldn't have known that she had secretly gone out to see another man behind his back!

Xie Zhuoning tilted his head and looked at him strangely, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, didn't you tell me to be aware of my status and respect myself?"

Given their relationship, it seemed only right for me to avoid him.

Xiao Jinxuan choked.

The boomerang that was thrown before flew back after a long time, and with a "puff" sound, it hit the center of the object.

Yes, he was blunt and righteous to her, wasn't he hoping that she would stay away from him and become a dignified and virtuous crown princess?

But if she really did what he wanted, why did he feel so uncomfortable?

After a while, he said, "The medicine is a thank you gift. It's only right that you accept it."

Not only for the book, but also because she had schemed against the prince to get the Flying Leaf Lotus for him.

Xie Zhuoning curled his lips, "It's better not to. The gift looks very expensive. His Royal Highness Prince Xuan and I are not close enough to accept such things with a clear conscience."

What was sent from Prince Xuan's Palace were not only medicinal herbs, but also many rare treasures.

She knew that.

Xiao Jinxuan gritted his teeth and suddenly laughed angrily, "Not that familiar?"

"We've kissed, hugged, and slept on the same bed, and you say we're not that familiar? Can Miss Xie do these things with someone she's not familiar with?"

He was really furious. In the past, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan would never say such an angry word.

Xie Zhuoning felt a little guilty, but only a little.

She bowed respectfully to Xiao Jinxuan and said, "Zhuo Ning was ignorant in the past. If I have offended Your Highness Prince Xuan, please forgive me and don't hold it against a little girl like me."

What a fool!

It turns out that everything she did before was because she was ignorant!

Now that you're sensible enough, you should draw a clear line between yourself and others, right?

Xiao Jinxuan clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, and his fingers turned white.

The next second, he pulled Xie Zhuoning into his arms, hooked her chin, and forced her to raise her head and look at him.

"What if I insist on calculating?"

The distance between them was only millimeters. If the carriage bumped even slightly, the corners of their lips would be imprinted together.

Seemingly ambiguous.

But Xie Zhuoning ruthlessly drew a ditch between them at this tiny distance, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, you have lived a pure and flawless life. It is not worth it if it is ruined by a woman."

That sounds very high-sounding!

Xiao Jinxuan was filled with rage, but the moment he met her eyes, his heart choked.

This girl is used to acting coquettishly and making trouble for no reason. She can make a lot of nonsense out of even a single crooked argument.

A little face, full of joy, anger, and cuteness, as vivid as the first blooming flower buds on a branch in spring.

But now, she was as calm as a clear spring, quietly analyzing the pros and cons with him.

As if, this is her.

It was her whom he had never known or understood before.

From beginning to end, she never opened her heart to him!

His throat moved, and he asked in a gloomy tone, "What do you want to do?"

"What?" Xie Zhuoning didn't quite understand.

"Let me ask you, what exactly do you want to do by secretly interacting with Ye Wuque and that man just now?"

Xie Zhuoning pinched his fingers and tried to calm himself. "Your Highness Prince Xuan, you are worrying too much. Mr. Murong is my friend. I am only here to give him some books. As for the Crown Prince of Chu, he is going to marry the Saint soon, so he has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Xiao Jinxuan suppressed the darkness in his eyes, "Then, what about the Hongxi Troupe?"

Xie Zhuoning's heart skipped a beat.

Since they found out about the Hong Xi Ban, Xiao Jinxuan must have also found out that she was the one who secretly led and pushed the matter of the Saint!

Yes, the time they spent together not only made Xiao Jinxuan accustomed to her presence, but also gradually reduced her vigilance towards Xiao Jinxuan.

She actually forgot that this man's mind was no less profound than anyone else's.

I'm afraid I can't hide my little actions from him at all!

"What exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Jinxuan asked her again.

He seemed to be increasingly unable to understand Xie Zhuoning.

Xie Zhuoning looked at him, wanting to just ignore it and let it all out.

Why?

Of course it was to break off the engagement, to save his life, to destroy the prince, and to avenge himself and his family in the previous life!

But can she tell?

cannot.

In the previous life, after Emperor Zhaowen passed away, Prince Xuan was appointed as the Regent Prince to assist the new emperor and counter Prince Yong.

He cleared away all obstacles for Xiao Bicheng, including King Yong and her.

She didn't want to try the feeling of an arrow going down her throat again.

"Don't ask, Xiao Jinxuan," she said coldly, "We are not the same kind of people."
