739 Bed Bam (6)
Xie Jingxing pressed her back to the bed.
Shen Miao struggled. Xie Jingxing locked her in place and said in amusement, âDo you think Iâll do anything to you?â He sized her up. âIn your dreams.â
Shen Miao was so angry that she wanted to call Mo Qing in and beat Xie Jingxing up.
Because she only wore an undergarment when she slept at night, after struggling with Xie Jingxing just now, the undergarment slipped off, revealing her snow-white shoulders. Xie Jingxing was slightly stunned. When Shen Miao realized where he was looking, she was angry and embarrassed. Just as she was about to curse, she saw Xie Jingxing suddenly pull the blanket over her.
Shen Miao stuck her head out of the blanket and said angrily, âYouâre crazy!â
Xie Jingxing ignored her and quickly wrapped her tightly in the blanket, making her look like a cocoon. Then, he pressed her onto the bed. Shen Miao could not move no matter what. Xie Jingxing supported his head with one hand and looked at her with a faint smile.
Shen Miao stopped struggling and asked in annoyance, âWhat are you doing here?â
âShen Miao, donât do anything stupid.â Xie Jingxing frowned and said, âWith me around, who will dare to force you to marry?â
Shen Miao was amused. âYou wonât stay in Ming Qi forever. One day, I will get married. You can protect me today, but you canât protect me tomorrow. If you can protect me tomorrow, there will be a day when you canât.â
âWhat if I can?â Xie Jingxing asked.
Shen Miao was stunned and did not speak.
Xie Jingxing said, âDo you not care about who you are married to, or do you just want to get married?â
âWhat does that have to do with you? Youâre asking too many questions.â Shen Miao was still unhappy with Xie Jingxingâs rudeness during the day and did not intend to talk to him nicely.
Xie Jingxing didnât understand why she suddenly got moody. He turned around on the bed and pressed Shen Miao under him. He supported himself with one hand beside Shen Miaoâs head and asked in a low voice, âWho do you want to marry?â
âLuo Ling, Su Mingfeng, Feng Zixian? Or Pei Lang?â
He approached closer and closer. Under the moonlight, his handsome facial features were magnified in front of Shen Miao. She could smell the fragrance of bamboo leaves coming from him. His eyes were extremely beautiful, but at this moment, they were aggressive, as if they wanted to see through her.
Shen Miao suddenly panicked.
This distance was too close, so close that she could hear the heart beating like drums, but she could not tell if it was hers or Xie Jingxingâs.
Not wanting to do something she would regret, Shen Miao suddenly shrank back. Behind her was the bedhead. Xie Jingxing reached out to prevent her from banging her head on the plank.
âThis has nothing to do with you.â Shen Miao quickly retorted, âWeâre just allies. Allies help each other, but allies donât interfere in each otherâs marriage. It has nothing to do with you who I marry, if Iâm deposed, and who I have children with!â
Xie Jingxing was originally quite angry when he heard her say the first half, but when he heard the second half, he didnât know whether to laugh or cry. He said, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Do you really want to be a deposed empress?â It was already the umpteenth time he had heard her say that she was a deposed empress. Xie Jingxing couldnât understand. Could it be that Shen Miao was so unconfident in herself that she wanted such a miserable ending? She usually didnât look like an unconfident person.
Shen Miao was so angry that she blurted out, âIt has nothing to do with you! Weâre just allies. What right do you have to interfere in my business?â
Xie Jingxing stared at her, his anger rising. He was a proud person to begin with, so he felt extremely aggrieved to be despised again and again.
He asked, âAre they allies?â
Shen Miao nodded.
âAllies canât interfere in your business?â
Shen Miao continued to nod.
Xie Jingxing said readily, âSure.â He quickly leaned over and pecked Shen Miaoâs lips. Shen Miao was instantly stunned. The handsome purple-clothed young man said in an extremely devilish tone, âWeâre not allies anymore.â
âYouâ¦â Shen Miao didnât know what to say. The gentle touch just now was still lingering on her lips.
He smiled cynically. âNow I can interfere in your business.â With that, he stood up from the bed and stared down at Shen Miao, threatening, âRemember, in the future, when you get married, have children, divorce, and be deposed, you have to get my permission.â
With that, he glanced at the windowsill coldly and disappeared.
Outside the house.
Cong Yang was forced to eavesdrop on the tree. He listened until his face turned red, but he did not dare to leave without Xie Jingxingâs order. When Xie Jingxing came out, Cong Yang bowed to him. Xie Jingxing said, âIn the future, throw away everything people send her.â He took the pendant from Cong Yang and left with a displeased expression.
