596 Asking for A Kiss (1)


    The tea and pastries were cold, but the arrogant and handsome young man did not mind it at all.


    Shen Miao adjusted the wick on the table and noticed that Xie Jingxing’s clothes seemed to be wet, as if he had just returned from outside. She asked, “Were you outside the entire night?”


    Shen Miao did not believe that someone as high and noble as Prince Rui would be so bored as to do that.


    Xie Jingxing smiled indifferently. “Didn’t you ask me to kill Princess Ming An?”


    Shen Miao was stunned. She looked at Xie Jingxing and asked tentatively, “Did you kill her?”


    !!


    “That’s not all.”


    Shen Miao stopped talking. She had actually seen what Xie Jingxing was capable of. Two years ago, when Xie Jingxing was still the young marquis of the Marquis of Lin’an, he effortlessly dealt with those masked people who appeared out of nowhere to kidnap Shen Miao at the Lantern Festival. Two yearster, in the secret room of the Marquis Residence, he killed Xie Changchao without leaving a trace. In fact, at some times, Shen Miao thought that Xie Jingxing had some qualities befitting an emperor. However, Xie Jingxing and Fu Xiuyi were different people. It was probably because in order to get the throne, Fu Xiuyi was willing to put on a show and endure it for many years, but Xie Jingxing would arrogantly confront and kill anyone who got in his way.


    Perhaps this was the blood of the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty.


    Shen Miao thought for a moment and shook her head. What did the Daliang Dynasty have to do with her? She looked at Xie Jingxing and was suddenly in a daze. Since when did she start regarding Xie Jingxing as one of her people? Did she really take him as her ally?


    She asked, “What did you do to her?” How was Xie Jingxing going to deal with Princess Ming An? Shen Miao actually had a little anticipation in her heart. This anticipation carried a little malice. Shen Miao was not a pure and kind woman who could not stand the sight of blood. Moreover, facing a ruthless person like Princess Ming An, Shen Miao would not show any mercy.


    “Are you that excited?” Xie Jingxing looked at her in amusement and saidzily, “You’ll know tomorrow.”


    “What about Xie Changwu?”


    Xie Jingxing even killed Princess Ming An, so there was no reason for him to let Xie Changwu off.


    As expected, Xie Jingxing said, “I killed him.”


    “Aren’t you afraid that the Marquis of Lin’an will be sad when he finds out?” Shen Miao looked at him and asked.


    The fire was burning brightly in the room. Xie Jingxing picked up the teacup and took a sip. His thin lips were moistened by the tea and looked a little red. However, his smile was as casual as ever as he said, “What does the family matter of the Marquis of Lin’an have to do with me?”


    It was a cold remark, but Shen Miao could tell from the young man’s faint smile that he was mocking himself. Her heart skipped a beat.


    From the moment he made a move on the Xie brothers, Xie Jingxing was fated to be enemies with the Marquis of Lin’an. Although they were not biological father and son, was Xie Jingxing really as heartless as he looked on the surface, or was he just hiding all his emotions through the casual smile on his face?


    Everyone in the world had secrets that they did not want to tell. Shen Miao had no way of knowing what Xie Jingxing was thinking. On this cold winter night, when it was snowing heavily, Xie Jingxing climbed to the tree outside Shen Miao’s window. Was he really just here to send a flower? Or was he like Shen Miao, gued by nightmares and unable to sleep, wanting to find a quiet corner to seek a peace of mind?
