Shen Miao was covered in thorns. From a notorious idiot to a player in the power game, from the daughter of a general to a rich girl who had lost her home, she seemed to have never changed. It was this docile but fierce gaze that made her look noble and unyielding.
Xie Jingxing slowly let go of Shen Miao’s chin and glanced at her, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. After a pause, he was about to get up and leave when he heard Shen Miao mutter, “Little Li, go and get my cloak. I’m cold.”
In an instant, he went from “Eunuch Li” to “Little Li”.
Xie Jingxing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He asked, “Are you giving me an order?”
“Cold.” Shen Miao looked at him aggrievedly.
Xie Jingxing took a deep breath and held back the urge to pull Shen Miao up and beat her up. He took off his cloak and threw it on Shen Miao.
Wrapped in his cloak, Shen Miao smiled at him. “I’ll reward you with a few pieces of satin later.”
Xie Jingxing looked at her expressionlessly. “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I’ll take my leave.” As he spoke, he was about to leave when Shen Miao grabbed his sleeve.
Tonight, Shen Miao was really too abnormal. Xie Jingxing never dreamed that the drunk Shen Miao would look like this. He thought that he could bully Shen Miao while she was drunk, but in the end, it seemed like he was the one getting bullied. The young marquis of the Xie family was ordered around like a eunuch… Eunuch Li or Little Lizi?
Shen Miao tugged at Xie Jingxing’s sleeve and pulled him to squat down. When their eyes met, she was satisfied. She let go and grabbed Xie Jingxing’s collar.
Xie Jingxing was confused by Shen Miao’s action. Shen Miao muttered to herself, “In the previous dynasty, there was a widowed princess who built a mansion dedicated to accommodate her gigolos. Since His Majesty doesn’t treat me well, I might as well pretend I’m a widow and find a gigolo too.”
Xie Jingxing originally couldn’t understand the first sentence, but when he heard the second sentence, he found it unbelievable. He stared at Shen Miao. “In your dream, are you an unfavoured empress?”
“Not unfavoured but widowed!” When Shen Miao heard that, she glared at him.
Xie Jingxing nodded and said lazily, “You must be a venomous empress.”
“Anyhow, you’re quite good-looking.” Shen Miao suddenly said, “Are you the new gigolo?”
Xie Jingxing was speechless.
“The princess of the previous dynasty found a beautiful gigolo. I’ve seen a portrait of him before, but I don’t think he’s as beautiful as you.” Shen Miao said, “If you follow me, I’ll take care of your life.”
When Xie Jingxing heard that, he was completely stunned. Was he… being treated as a gigolo?
He was still in a daze when he saw the hand that was holding his collar suddenly exert force, followed by a soft touch on his lips. Shen Miao gently licked his mouth and then nibbled.
“From now on, you’re mine.” Shen Miao let go and looked at him with a dignified smile.
When Xie Jingxing came back to his senses, he only had one thought. He wanted to strangle the woman in front of him to death!
At this moment, a whistle suddenly came from outside. It was a signal given by Xie Jingxing’s people to show that Mo Qing and the others had noticed the commotion. Xie Jingxing gritted his teeth, glanced at Shen Miao, and flew out through the window.
Ah Zhi opened the door, but there was no one inside. He scratched his head and said, “No one.”
“I guess we are being overly vigilant.” Mo Qing frowned.
In the snow, the handsome young man in dark red clothes looked a little ill at ease. When the middle-aged man beside him saw this, he could not help but ask, “Master, you look troubled… What happened there just now?”
Xie Jingxing was just going to say goodbye to Miss Shen. Why did he look so strange when he came out?
The young man in red said, “Tie Yi, do I look like… like a…”
Tie Yi was puzzled. “Like what?”
“Forget it!” He gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go.”
