Xie Changwu, who was originally a little worried, gradually relaxed. Xie Changchao said, “It’s just that we still have to think about how to kidnap Shen Miao.”
…
Shen Miao did not know about the agreement between the Xie brothers and Princess Ming An. The winter in the capital turned dark early. Not long after dinner, the sky darkened completely. These days, Shen Xin and the others were busy in the imperial court.
Today, she was replying to the letters under the oil lamp.
Feng Anning had invited her out many times, but because she was busy dealing with Chang Zaiqing, she had never shown up. She asked Luo Tan to accompany Feng Anning to shop around. After a few times, Feng Anning became angry and sent her a letter today, asking her to come out and shop with her two days later. If she didn’t show up this time, their friendship would cease to exist.
Shen Miao thought about it and felt that Feng Anning was after all her friend. In order to maintain this “hard-won” friendship, she would go.
After writing the reply letter and handing it to Gu Yu, Gu Yu went out and closed the door. Shen Miao yawned and planned to sleep early, so she walked to the bed.
When she walked to the bed, she suddenly saw something curling up and squirming under her blanket.
Shen Miao was taken back. Just now, Gu Yu was also in the room and did not notice anything. For a moment, Shen Miao actually froze on the spot. However, after a moment of silence, she calmed down. She had already died once. What was there to be afraid of?
She immediately walked to the bed and lifted the blanket.
Under the blanket was something that looked like a big cat. Its fur was a rare snow-white color, and it was furry. With the blank gone, the big cat was puzzled and looked up at her.
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment.
The little thing ran happily on her bed and played with her clothes. When it got closer, Shen Miao could see that it was… a white tiger?
Shen Miao was mad. Where did this white tiger come from out of nowhere?
Someone in the shadows chuckled and called out, “Jiaojiao.”
Shen Miao subconsciously turned around and saw the white tiger cub standing up and running to the other side.
Under the light, his purple robe was illuminated inch by inch, and the places embroidered with golden threads and dragon patterns reflected a small and dazzling light. His face was also illuminated with a warm color by the faint yellow candle flame, making him look not so much like someone from the mortal world.
Xie Jingxing leaned over and picked up the white tiger that was biting the corner of his robe. He casually put the white tiger into his sleeve and said, “Naughty.”
Shen Miao blinked and suddenly realized something. She looked at the white tiger in Xie Jingxing’s sleeve and said in disbelief, “What did you call it?”
“Jiaojiao.” Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow and walked over unhurriedly. He even asked, “Isn’t it a good name?”
Shen Miao was so angry with Xie Jingxing using her name to name an animal that she didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
Xie Jingxing had already walked to the table and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and said, “The tea is still warm. Thanks, it’s very thoughtful of you.”
Shen Miao said, “Shameless!”
How could there be such a shameless person in the world? However, Xie Jingxing actually glanced at the chrysanthemum cake on the table and said, “Tsk, you even prepared some pastries for me, but I’m not hungry. Thank you.”
