642 Return (5)
Xie Jingxing was a little unhappy that Shen Miao was distracted. He knocked Shen Miao gently on the head and said, “Focus.”
Shen Miao sat forward and moved a little away from him. She pretended to be calm and said, “I’ve already remembered everything you said. I’ll put them on when I go out.”
Xie Jingxing smiled. “Didn’t you say you don’t want it?”
Shen Miao turned around. “You remembered wrongly.”
When she turned around, she almost bumped into Xie Jingxing because he was looking down at her. Shen Miao was slightly stunned and her face quickly turned red.
This young man was unbelievably handsome. Usually, he was devilish and cynical. However, when he looked at you with those beautiful eyes, it was as if winter was replaced by spring, giving vitality to the earth.
Xie Jingxing chuckled. His voice was as mellow as wine, making Shen Miao flustered. He reached out and brushed the hair on Shen Miao’s forehead away. He stared into Shen Miao’s eyes and said in confusion, “Why are you blushing?”
Shen Miao suddenly stood up and took two steps forward. With her back facing Xie Jingxing, she said, “The room is too stuffy.”
It was precisely because her back was facing Xie Jingxing that she missed the smile that flashed across the purple-clothed young man’s eyes.
“Because you feel embarrassed about getting things from for free?” Xie Jingxing said indifferently, “It’s simple. Just make some pastries for me.” After saying that, he thought of something and said, “I can’t get you to make pastries for me no matter how hard I try while someone can get it without doing anything. It’s really infuriating.”
“What?” Shen Miao did not understand what Xie Jingxing meant. However, she saw that Xie Jingxing had already stood up. He said, “Forget it. I’m just here to send you the hidden weapons today. They can help you get rid of people and get out of danger. I think you need them.”
Shen Miao wanted to retort, but she felt that Xie Jingxing was right. She lived on the edge of a knife. Although she was protected by the Shen family, what she did was extremely dangerous. If one day, the Shen family could not protect her, she could only protect herself.
This box of hidden weapons that looked like jewelry could undoubtedly come in handy for her. Xie Jingxing was indeed someone who knew her best. Thinking of how she had treated Xie Jingxing as her opponent previously, Shen Miao felt a chill run down her spine.
Xie Jingxing suddenly thought of something and said, “Do you know where Shen Yue is?”
Shen Yue? Shen Miao shook her head. She had planted spies in the Shen mansion and knew that Shen Yue had fled home and gone missing. Chen Ruoqiu’s people had yet to find Shen Yue, and Shen Miao had once sent people to find her, but they all came back empty-handed. Shen Miao had been suspicious. Although the capital was big, it was not to the extent where it was hard to find someone. Moreover, how could a delicate girl like Shen Yue survive alone outside for a few days?
“You know where Shen Yue is?” Shen Miao asked.
Xie Jingxing said, “She’s in Huangfu Hao’s place.”
After Xie Jingxing left, Shen Miao rubbed her forehead and sat down on the bed. The candle on the table was about to burn out.
Shen Yue actually went to Huangfu Hao’s place. The trajectory of events had deviated too much from that of Shen Miao’s previous life, such as Shen Yue’s fate. Now that Shen Yue was with Huangfu Hao, no one could predict what would happen next.
Shen Miao looked at the box and reached out to take it before picking out an emerald bracelet and putting it on. The emerald bracelet made her wrist look slender and fair like a painting. It was originally a cold jade, but Shen Miao felt it was warm on her skin, just like the young man’s eyes.
