Chapter 45 - His Questioning (1/2)

“Miss.” Gu Yu and Jingzhe stood in front of Shen Miao warily. This young man was dressed in luxurious clothes and was extremely noble and beautiful, making people wonder who he was. However, he was a stranger after all. Gu Yu and Jingzhe were afraid that something would happen.

“Gu Yu, Jingzhe, guard the forest entrance,” Shen Miao said.

“But Miss…” The two of them were a little hesitant.

“Go.” Shen Miao frowned slightly. For some reason, she was very good at giving orders. Every time she ordered her maid to do something, she would carry a powerful aura that made people not dare to refute.

Jingzhe and Gu Yu could only retreat to the entrance of the forest.

“You’re interesting.” Xie Jingxing leaned against the tree trunk and looked at her playfully. He was a noble young master, but his gaze was as sharp as a blood blade on the battlefield, and his calm tone was cold. As expected of someone who had been to the battlefield.

“Marquis Xie, what do you want to say?” Shen Miao asked. She didn’t think Xie Jingxing came for an idle chat. Although he was young, he was very smart. Since the Old Marquis couldn’t discipline him, he was even more wild.

“That cripple, Prince Yu, seems to have taken a liking to you,so I wanted to say a word of congratulations to you,” he said flatly. However, calling Prince Yu a cripple was considered extremely offensive. However, when Xie Jingxing said it, there was a trace of disdain and mockery, as if Prince Yu was just a dirty thing.

He was indeed very haughty.

Shen Miao was deep in thought, but she did not show it on her face. Xie Jingxing suddenly took a step forward. He was extremely tall, and Shen Miao was covered in his shadow. The purple-clothed youth leaned over slightly and whispered into her ear, “You really knew long ago.”

The fragrance of bamboo came from the young man’s body. His voice was deliberately lowered, and it sounded magnetic. Shen Miao looked up. That handsome face was in front of her, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled, adding a hint of evilness to his smile.

However, she was not really a young girl anymore. She lowered her eyes slightly and said, “So what if I know and what if I don’t?”

When Xie Jing Xing saw that she remained nonchalance, he did not bother to continue to put on an appearance of a rich playboy and did not have even a trace of protective feelings for a female as he pushed her away. There was a piece of paper in his hands as he smiled a bit frivolously, “Knowing but not being anxious about your own matter but worry for the Second Young Master of the Shi family?”

Shen Miao abruptly moved her line of sight and stared at him fixedly as she could not help but be a bit brutal with her tone, “Is Marquis Xie being too meddlesome?”

“It’s just a piece of paper, but you’re so nervous.” Xie Jingxing returned to his usual frivolous self. “What kind of relationship do you have with the second young master of the Shi family? Why are you helping him? Or… are you up to something?”

Shen Miao’s face was as calm as water as she stared quietly at the paper in Xie Jingxing’s hand. The paper was thin, but it was a heavy stone in her heart.
