    She drank a lot and was so drunk that her head was dizzy. She did not even hear the sound of footsteps approaching.


    She heard a teasing voice behind her.


    “Wow, the Shen family is indeed rich. Do you have to be so extravagant as to book a banquet to have dinner alone?”


    Shen Miao turned around and saw Xie Jingxing walking casually in with a smile.


    She frowned.


    Xie Jingxing nced at the empty wine jars on the table. He teased, “Fifth Miss Shen, are you in a bad mood?”


    Shen Miao stared at him.


    Xie Jingxing leaned over slightly and looked at Shen Miao. When he saw her red eyes, he was slightly stunned. Then, he said, “Could it be because of me?”


    Shen Miao still did not speak.


    Xie Jingxing pondered for a moment. “Because of Qin Qing?”


    Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Miao suddenly threw herself into his arms.


    She hugged Xie Jingxing’s waist tightly and pressed her face against his chest. She still couldn’t get used to him speaking to her in an unfamiliar tone.


    She sobbed and scolded, “You heartless man. Do you want to divorce me? Back then, when you married me, you clearly said that you wouldn’t have another woman in the future and that you would be with me for the rest of your life. Xie Jingxing, you are a liar! You tricked me into marrying you and now you are flirting with other women. My brother and father will definitely beat you up! Bastard, bastard, bastard!”


    Xie Jingxing was shocked and said, “When did I say…”


    However, seeing how sadly Shen Miao was crying, Xie Jingxing swallowed the rest of his words.


    Shen Miao hugged his waist tightly like a child and refused to let go. Xie Jingxing hesitated for a moment before reaching out to pat her shoulder.


    She was the fifth daughter of the Shen family, and everyone knew that she was an idiot. The Shen family had nothing to do with him. Unexpectedly, one day, he would be involved with Shen Miao. Shen Miao spoke as if they had known each other for a long time. Xie Jingxing was inexplicably suspicious, because Shen Miao seemed to know the secret of his real background.


    However, he couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless to her.


    When he heard Tie Yi say that she was drunk in the Misty Rain Pavilion, he came, not knowing why he came.


    Xie Jingxing frowned and stared at the person in his arms. The delicate body in his arms was warm, and even his heart was warmed by it. However, he was struck by a feeling of deja vu, as if this scene had happened to him in the past.


    When was it? And was it In his dream?


    He asked hesitantly, “Shen Miao, have I… hugged you like this before?”


    The crying in her arms stopped abruptly.


    Shen Miao looked up from his arms and stared at him.


    Under the moonlight, her eyes were red and swollen, but they were sparkling, as if a new hope had emerged from the despair.


    She stood on her tiptoes and reached out to grab Xie Jingxing’s cor. She pulled him closer and suddenly kissed him.


    “And you kissed me like that,” she said.


    What happened next was that Shen Miao pestered Xie Jingxing until he finally agreed to bring her to the Daliang Dynasty.


    During the journey to the Daliang Dynasty that would take about half a year, Shen Miao told Xie Jingxing everything, but she did not know if Xie Jingxing believed her or not.


    After hearing the long story, Xie Jingxing did not say anything. One night, he suddenly said to Shen Miao. He said, “That Daoist priest is wrong.”


    Shen Miao was puzzled. “What?”


    “Among thousands of possibilities, I will only choose you.” He smiled and tied one of the red strings on Shen Miao’s hand to himself. “Let’s go. Don’t make me wait too long in reality, Shen Jiaojiao.”


    Xie Jingxing listened with his mouth agape.


    Shen Miao nced at him from the corner of her eye. “In the dream, you were flirting with youngdies. You went to the brothel every day and bullied me. You didn’t believe anything I said. You suspected me and threatened me. Xie Jingxing, do you know what you did?”


    Xie Jingxing was silent. After a while, he said, “That’s me in the dream, not the real me.”


    “Even if it was in the dream, it was still you!” Shen Miao said angrily.


    Xie Jingxing quickly hugged her and stroked her hair. He said, “In my dream, I believed you in the end and brought you back to the Daliang Dynasty. It can be seen that you’re the only one in my heart.” He rubbed her chin and said unhappily, “But that kid is really lucky. You actually took the initiative to kiss him.”


    Shen Miao was speechless.


    In the world, only Xie Jingxing would be jealous of himself.


    “In that case, I have to apologize to you,” Xie Jingxing said seriously. Suddenly, he picked Shen Miao up horizontally. “I deserve to die for neglecting you.


    Today, you can do whatever you want.”


    Xie Jingxing carried her and turned to walk out, but he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Although the person in the dream is very detestable, there’s one thing he’s not wrong about.”


    Shen Miao looked at him. “What is it?”


    “Among thousands of possibilities, you are the only one I will choose,” he said..
