757 Affection (6)
“In that case, no one in the world is walking the same path as you,” Xie Jingxing asked.
“That’s right.”
Shen Miao sighed in her heart. A person who had crawled out of the grave and lived a second time should be no different from a ghost in some ways. She had always been alone on the path of revenge.
“But if you comfort me like this, I’ll get the illusion that.” Xie Jingxing smiled. “We’re on the same path.”
The wind picked up the broken leaves on the ground and blew across the frozen lake.
However, looking at the frozen lake, one seemed to be able to see spring breeze blowing past the lake filled with blooming flowers.
Winter would eventually pass, and spring would come.
Shen Miao’s voice was soft, even softer than the wind at night.
She said, “I guess so.”
If you comfort me like this, I’ll get the illusion that we’re on the same path.
Shen Miao thought so too.
The tree swayed slightly as someone jumped down. The young man’s back was tall and straight. When the white tiger in the distance saw its master coming down, it immediately ran over happily and rubbed the corner of his robe affectionately.
“Do you think I’m Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty or the Marquis of Lin’an?” he asked.
Shen Miao leaned against the tree with her hands behind her back. She looked at his back and said, “Is this very important?”
“I didn’t think it was important either.” Xie Jingxing stood by the pond. His voice was calm, as if there was no fluctuation at all. He said calmly, “Ever since I found out my identity, people have been reminding me that this is very important.”
“The Marquis of Lin’an is weak and incompetent. He’s indecisive and is not worthy of being a father. Even if the real Young Marquis Xie did not die young back then, he would still die at Concubine Fang’s hands.”
“Auntie Rong treats me very well.”
“I thought my identity was important to others, but not to her.”
“But now it seems that I am terribly wrong.”
He said indifferently, “To everyone in the world, this question has been very important from the beginning to the end. There’s no exception.”
He thought that family could be above everything else, but In the end, the reality gave a slap to his face and gave him a taste of what deep disappointment felt like.
Shen Miao stared at his back for a long time before saying, “It’s not important to me.”
Xie Jingxing chuckled.
He turned around and walked towards Shen Miao, stopping in front of her. He looked down at Shen Miao and asked, “Do you know who I am?”
“You’re just Xie Jingxing.” She raised her head proudly, as if she wanted to suppress his aura.
“Just?” He was slightly dissatisfied.
“You can fool others, but you can’t fool me.” Shen Miao looked at his mask. “From the beginning, I knew what kind of person you were. From the moment I know you to the end of our alliance, you are just Xie Jingxing to me.”
Xie Jingxing nodded meaningfully.
He took another step forward, and Shen Miao subconsciously retreated. At this moment, her back was pressed against the tree, and she could not retreat anymore. Xie Jingxing reached out and raised her chin.
He said, “Do you think I’m very cruel?”
“No. I’m the same,” Shen Miao replied.
“Then do you know that I’m not a good person?” His voice was low and pleasant to the ear.
Shen Miao shrank back again. She did not want to be looked down upon. She only said, “I know. I’m the same.”
Xie Jingxing held her waist and pulled Shen Miao towards him. The mask covered his face, making his handsomeness look a little bewitching. He said, “Then I can answer your question now.”
“What question?” Shen Miao was puzzled.
“You asked me if I was going to destroy Ming Qi.”
Shen Miao stared at him, her beautiful eyes filled with a dazzling light, looking like they were going to suck people in.
“So what’s your answer?” she asked.
“If I say yes, are you going to turn me in?” Xie Jingxing smiled evilly.
Shen Miao said slowly, “No.”
“Because I’m the same.”
Getting three “I’m the same” in a row, Xie Jingxing’s gaze changed.
No one could not tell if he was happy or angry. He asked, “Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Shen Miao was silent.
He gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to swallow Shen Miao whole. He said, “Shen Miao, don’t regret it. Once you’re on my ship, you can forget about getting down for the rest of your life.”
He suddenly leaned over and kissed Shen Miao.
Shen Miao subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Xie Jingxing grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. His cold mask touched Shen Miao’s face, locked Shen Miao’s hand, and kissed her lips roughly.
