525 Marriage (2)

She felt her vision blur and something was on her face. She looked up and saw Xie Jingxing wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

She cried in the end.

The young man’s hand was slender and he lowered his head slightly. His movements were very gentle, and his eyes were very serious, as if he was doing the thing that required the most meticulous work. His long eyelashes were lowered, and he was already as handsome as a painting. He was no longer the indifferent and mischievous person in the day, but he was like the gentlest partner, like an elder brother, and also like a friend.

Shen Miao was a little lost in thought. When Xie Jingxing finished wiping, he saw her gaze and raised an eyebrow. “You’re not crying anymore?”

She looked away. “Thank you.” This time, the thank you was finally not as forced and mocking as before. It seemed to be the first time she had spoken in such a gentle tone.

Xie Jingxing also looked at her in surprise. Suddenly, he smiled and rubbed her head. “What did you dream about? You kept saying that it’s my fault, Mrs. Shen.”

Shen Miao was shocked and looked at Xie Jingxing, asking, “What did I say in my sleep?”

Xie Jingxing pondered for a moment and said, “You said it’s your fault and you are sorry.” He asked thoughtfully, “What did you do wrong in your dream? Is it that serious?”

When Shen Miao heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just a dream.” However, she did not know that Xie Jingxing noticed her sigh of relief.

“However.” Shen Miao suddenly thought of something and looked at him. “It’s already so late. What are you doing here?” Shen Miao did not notice that she was already used to Xie Jingxing barging into her room in the middle of the night. There was no anger in her voice when she asked that, as if it was something very usual.

Xie Jingxing took out a letter from his sleeve. “I wanted to give you a gift.”

Shen Miao looked at him in confusion. She took the letter and opened it, only to be stunned.

The things written on the letter were none other than what happened to Chang Zaiqing in Liuzhou, including the fact that Chang Zaiqing had a husband and son who were abandoned by her. She was stunned for a moment, not because of the content of the letter, but because Xie Jing gave it to her.

“You don’t seem surprised.” Xie Jingxing tilted his head to look at her. “You already knew?”

“Thank you for your kindness, Prince Rui.” Shen Miao put away the letter. “Prince Rui, don’t interfere in this matter. I’ll do it myself.”

Xie Jingxing looked at her for a while and shook his head with a smile. “I guess I’ve stuck my nose into something I shouldn’t again.”

Shen Miao was silent for a while. For some reason, she felt that the room was a little cramped. She lowered her head and her gaze subconsciously landed on the corner of Xie Jingxing’s robe. The material was very gorgeous, and the patterns embroidered with gold thread were exquisite. She seemed to be able to feel Xie Jingxing’s probing gaze on her. Shen Miao looked up and tried her best to look at him calmly. “If there’s nothing else, you can go back.”

Xie Jingxing stared at her fixedly.

Shen Miao frowned slightly. She indeed should thank him for pulling her out of her nightmare. However, she knew what kind of person Xie Jingxing was. The longer she stayed with him, the more likely she would be eaten up. Shen Miao did not want her secret to be exposed to others yet, not to mention that Xie Jingxing’s identity had become sensitive. Even if Xie Jingxing did not show any hostility to her now, Shen Miao did not dare to let down her guard.

Xie Jingxing said, “It’s raining so heavily outside, and you want me to leave?”

The rain outside the window was accompanied by the sound of thunder, looking like it would not stop for the entire night. Shen Miao was so angry by his words that she almost forgot about the nightmare. She said, “Is Prince Rui going to stay here for the night?”
