Chapter 84: Chapter 84 - Meeting the Young Marquis at Night (5)

Xie Jingxing ate the pastry and drank the tea in big mouthfuls. He said, “I came in a hurry and didn’t eat dinner. Tsk, this tea is really disgusting.” He looked like a picky young master.

“Marquis Xie, are you here for tea and pastries?” Shen Miao looked at him.

“Of course not.” Xie Jingxing suddenly smiled. He picked up a pastry and stuffed it into Shen Miao’s mouth. He was too fast. When Shen Miao reacted, her mouth was already filled with a sweet taste.

Xie Jingxing rested his chin on his hand and glanced at her. His posture was relaxed, but his words were sharp.

“You ate my food. Now answer my question.”

The fragrance of the pastry melted in her mouth, carrying a faint sweetness and a moderate fruit taste. When it entered her mouth, it left a fragrance in her mouth. Even Shen Miao, who did not like sweet food, could not help but find it delicious.

“What’s your relationship with Prince Yu?”

Shen Miao looked at him. “Why don’t you ask me why I did what I did tonight?”

“If you’re willing to tell me, I’ll listen.”

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

Xie Jingxing’s expression changed a few times. He smiled and said in a strange tone, “You’re ruthless. You actually made your sister sleep with that old dog, Prince Yu.”

Only someone like Xie Jingxing would dare to call Prince Yu an “old dog”.

“When they set me up, they never thought that I was their sister,” Shen Miao retorted.

Her words were cold, and she did not hide her disgust and disdain for those people. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, there seemed to be a flame in her eyes.

“What an bold girl.” Xie Jingxing stretched. “Prince Yu will not let you off after this.”

“That depends on whether he has the ability or not.” Shen Miao was not scared.

“You’ve said so much to me…” Xie Jingxing pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his body leaned forward, almost reaching the tip of Shen Miao’s nose. He was so close that even Shen Miao could not help but be slightly shocked. However, she didn’t want to show any signs of panic, so she sat still, pretending to be calm.

The young man had a handsome face and a devilish smile on his lips. His voice was deliberately frivolous as he whispered into her ear, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell others?”

“Young Marquis, do whatever you want. I’m also curious if the Marquis of Lin’an is planning something so that you are sent here in the middle of the night. You are telling me you are here to relax, are you?”

It was no coincidence that Xie Jingxing appeared here tonight, and he even brought a group of well-trained masters. There was no such thing as a coincidence in this world. Xie Jingxing was not here to see her. The two of them just happened to bump into each other.

The young man’s eyes were very beautiful, a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes. When he smiled, it was able to attract people’s attention. However, when he turned cold, he emitted a cold and dangerous aura.

For a moment, Shen Miao was overwhelmed by Xie Jingxing’s aura. It was not that she had never seen people who were intimidating in her previous life. However, the person in front of her seemed to be even more dangerous than any of those she had seen.

“You’ve got some nerve.” He smiled.

“Same to you.”

Xie Jingxing stood up and glanced at her. He said indifferently, “I’m not interested in what happened to that old dog at all. If you dare to reveal anything about me being here tonight, I’ll kill you and I mean it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the window and disappeared into the rain.

The cold rain drifted in through the window and landed on Shen Miao’s face. The wind woke her up and she heaved a sigh of relief.
