However, just as she turned around, she found that there was a very faint sound of breathing from the tree in the northeast corner.
Xie Qingrong's sharp gaze shot towards the tree. When the man on the tree saw Xie Qingrong's gaze, a look of deep thought flashed past his eyes.
The man suppressed the doubt in his heart, as he looked towards Xie Qingrong with cold eyes.
Her intuition told her that the person in front of her was not someone to be trifled with. Since she had just arrived, it was best for her to be careful when facing an unknown person like this.
Xie Qingrong was unable to hide the shock that flashed past her eyes, but towards this kind of expression, Xuanyuan Chen was already used to it. However, she didn't expect that this little girl would regain her clarity so quickly. It was different from what she had imagined, interesting.
However, just as the two of them were sizing each other up, Nuan Xiang lowered her head and stuttered a greeting: "Greetings Prince Chen."
Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently, after his eyes swept across Nuan Xiang, he returned his gaze to Xie Qingrong.
Prince Chen? It was actually a prince.
It seemed like this person had an extremely high status.
Xie Qingrong secretly thought about it, but she maintained her composure as she observed the Prince Chen's every move. After a while, they shifted their gaze, but they were still observing Xuanyuan Chen from the corner of their eyes.
Xuanyuan Chen did not expect the little girl to be so calm.
Just when the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense and awkward, Nuan Xiang suddenly pulled at the corner of Xie Qingrong's clothes, and said softly: "Miss, although you have an engagement with Prince Chen, and are the future Princess Consort Chen, you still have to greet Prince Chen."
Xie Qingrong's eyes flashed with astonishment, she never thought that the owner of this body would actually be a future Princess Consort Chen.
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, bowed slightly, and greeted her: "Greetings, Prince Chen."
The expression in Xuanyuan Chen's eyes did not change as he said indifferently: "There's no need to be so courteous."
"It's late in the night, may I know why Prince Chen is here?" Xie Qingrong lowered her eyebrows, covering up the indifference in her eyes.
Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows and laughed lightly: "I heard that Miss Xie fell into the water and this king came to save you. However, This King did watch a good show just now. " There was a hint of mockery in his voice.
Heh. A good show? I'm afraid he saw what she did just now.
Since that was the case, Xie Qingrong raised her head and coldly asked, "What does the Prince think?"
"It doesn't matter. Since you are This King's fiancee, you can still be considered to be This King's person." Xuanyuan Chen was elated, but he couldn't hear any reluctance in his tone.
Xie Qingrong slightly frowned, and said: "The orders of father and mother, the words of the matchmaker. But I have neither the feeling of a man nor a woman, nor the courtesy of a husband and wife. "
"So?"
"So why not marry a man and a woman? Both are irrelevant. Moreover, it was I who wanted to end the engagement with the Prince, and it was I who did it, so the Prince only has to push the blame onto me. " Xie Qingrong calmly suggested.
It sounded like it was all for Xuanyuan Chen's own good, but Xuanyuan Chen only pursed his lips, with his hands folded across his chest, he stared at Xie Qingrong, as though he wanted to find out something from her face.
Xie Qingrong was a hitman in her previous life and she had always maintained his composure. Therefore, Xuanyuan Chen could only see her cold and unmoved, unable to detect any other emotions.
Interesting.
Xuanyuan Che observed for a long time before finally replying to Xie Qingrong's suggestion, "Miss Xie knows about your marriage with this king. However, the emperor bestowed the marriage upon you.
Xie Qingrong laughed coldly in the bottom of her heart. Even if the emperor were to grant her the marriage, she didn't believe that the person in front of her wouldn't settle this matter unfairly.
"Conditions."
"Miss Xie is so intelligent, why not guess what condition This King wants." Xuanyuan Chen rubbed his right index finger, which was covering his arm, on his sleeve, as if he was waiting for Xie Qingrong's answer.
Xie Qingrong lowered his eyes, covering the killing intent that flashed past his eyes, and the corners of her mouth drew an extremely cold smile. In Xuanyuan Chen's eyes, it was extremely gorgeous, but he did not miss the killing intent just now.
"I don't have the leisure to chat with you here. It is already late, please go back, Your Highness. As for the engagement between us, when the time comes another day, I will come to visit your estate. "
Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows, and said with a bland smile, "Since that's the case, this king will give Miss Xie three days to properly consider. Three days later, this king will send someone to fetch you."
"There's no need to send someone to pick me up."
Xie Qingrong nodded her head, and agreed.
Xuanyuan Chen curled his lips, seeing the corpse of the butler lying on the side, the smile that he had just drawn on was suppressed. He frowned and said: "I will send someone to settle this matter, this Miss Xie does not need to worry."
Xie Qingrong did not expect Xuanyuan Chen to help her deal with this matter, it was indeed easy to kill, but handling it was troublesome, since there was someone willing to help, why not.
"Thank you, Prince Chen."
Xuanyuan Chen nodded, and with a flash, he disappeared into the vast night.
Xie Qingrong watched as Xuanyuan Chen left, turned around and glanced at Nuan Xiang who was obviously extremely afraid, frowned, and asked: "Why are you in such a panic?"
Nuan Xiang answered while trembling: "Little …. Miss, just now, that was the Prince Chen. "
"So what?"
Xie Qingrong did not understand why Nuan Xiang was so afraid of him. Could it be that Xuanyuan Chen had some other special hobby?
