733 Anger (6)
…
Shen Miao’s arm hurt from being grabbed by Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing walked quickly without saying a word. She tried her best to keep up with Xie Jingxing, but he was tall and had long legs. She almost tripped a few times.
In the end, Shen Miao was furious and shouted angrily, “Let go of me!”
Xie Jing walked to an empty corridor before suddenly letting go. Shen Miao couldn’t react in time and almost fell to the ground. After standing still, she was furious and said, “You’re crazy!”
This garden was a little wider than the desolate garden just now. Shen Miao was a little afraid of being seen and was about to walk out when Xie Jingxing grabbed her arm and pulled her back. He pushed her against the wall, pressed her hands on it, and looked at her coldly.
He was wearing a silver mask, revealing only his sharp chin, but his thin lips were pursed very tightly. The cynical smile was long gone. He said word by word, “Shen Miao, is that all you can do?”
Shen Miao frowned at him.
Xie Jingxing reached out and held her chin, forcing her to look up at him. He looked down at Shen Miao like a hunter looking down at his prey. Shen Miao hated being looked down at from above and struggled to break free.
However, she was a woman after all. How could she resist Xie Jingxing? Xie Jingxing easily locked her in place, making her unable to move.
Shen Miao asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Xie Jingxing’s tone was unreadable. “Luo Ling, Su Mingfeng, Feng Zixian, and now Pei Lang. I really underestimated how popular you are among men.”
Shen Miao did not speak.
He suddenly tightened his grip, making Shen Miao’s chin hurt and she frowned slightly.
However, the young man gritted his teeth and said, “You don’t care who you marry, nor do you care if you are forced to marry. Do you really want to marry the crown prince?”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Xie Jingxing must have heard what she said to Pei Lang just now. What Xie Jingxing liked to do the most was to observe everything in the dark. Normally, Shen Miao did not care, but at this moment, she was suddenly angry, as if the secret she had been hiding was made public.
She sneered and said, “What does it matter if I marry the crown prince? Anyway, you know that I want to be the empress. The crown prince will eventually sit on the throne. Perhaps if I figure out a way to kill the crown princess, I’ll be the future empress of Ming Qi. What’s wrong with that?”
Xie Jingxing smiled, but his smile was cold. “Unfortunately, the crown prince can’t sit on the throne.”
Shen Miao did not know where Xie Jingxing’s confidence came from, but at this moment, she was very embarrassed and aggrieved to be questioned in such a sorry state.
Xie Jingxing held her chin and pressed her against the wall, locking her hand. That devilish smile on his face made Shen Miao believe for a moment that Xie Jingxing, who looked cynical, indifferent, and did not care about anything, actually had another side to him.
However, Shen Miao was not in the mood to study him.
She said, “Even if he can’t sit on the throne, it has nothing to do with you.” Shen Miao looked up at him and tried her best to say calmly, “Prince Rui, why are you questioning me? My relationship with you doesn’t seem to be that close. What does it have to do with you who I marry?”
As soon as she said that, a strange smile slowly crept up on Xie Jingxing’s lips.
He grabbed Shen Miao’s chin and pulled her towards him. “You were much more capable than this when you killed people. Why? Is this all you can do now? Huh?”
Shen Miao felt a lump in her throat. She really hated Xie Jingxing’s behavior at this moment. However, she could not break free. She hated herself for being so powerless. She felt that her eyes were slowly getting blurred and very uncomfortable.
Xie Jingxing frowned and said, “Don’t cry!”
Shen Miao’s tears were about to fall. She felt extremely ashamed. She had lived for two lifetimes, but she actually wanted to cry after hearing a few words from Xie Jingxing. She felt like something was stirring up her mind, making her unable to think.
Unwilling to give in, Shen Miao glared at Xie Jingxing and said angrily, “Xie Jingxing, don’t go too far!”
“Xie Jingxing?” A cry came from the grass on the other side.
