659 Holding Hands (4)

“I’m waiting for you. I need your help with something,” she said after taking a deep breath.

“Speak.” Xie Jingxing pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Shen Miao. He seemed to be in a very good mood, and even his beautiful eyes were more charming than usual.

“You should have many capable people like Mo Qing under your command, right?” Shen Miao asked tentatively.

“You think Mo Qing is capable?” Xie Jingxing sneered. “How about I give you some real capable people?”

“Can I borrow some from you?” Shen Miao said, “I’ll pay.”

Xie Jingxing glanced at her and frowned slightly. “What are you going to do?”

Shen Miao thought that since Xie Jingxing already knew about Chang Zaiqing’s husband and son, there was no need to hide it from him, so she said, “Chang Zaiqing’s husband and son have already been brought to the capital and are kept in the east of the city. I’m afraid I don’t have enough people to escort me there.”

“You want to use my people?”

Shen Miao said, “I’ll pay.”

Xie Jingxing asked, “Do I look like I’m short of money?”

Shen Miao didn’t know what to say. Indeed, Xie Jingxing did not seem to be short of money. It was as if he had more money than he could use. She simply asked, “What do I have to do to make you help?”

Xie Jingxing narrowed his eyes. “Is this the attitude you use when you ask people for help?”

Shen Miao was finally annoyed and said, “Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything. It’s getting late. Prince Rui, please leave.” She called Xie Jingxing “Prince Rui” when she was angry, sounding very distant. As expected, Xie Jingxing frowned and looked unhappy.

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you use my people.” Xie Jingxing stopped her. “What’s the hurry?”

Shen Miao sat back down. Xie Jingxing stared at her with his beautiful eyes. A glint flashed across his eyes as he said, “You’re really stupid. Why do you ignore the most capable person in front of you?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m in a good mood today.” Xie Jingxing said unhurriedly, “I’ll escort you there personally.”

In the middle of the night, the moon was covered by clouds, leaving only a few stars hanging in the night sky. Because it was winter, it was surprisingly cold. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, and when one stepped on it, there was a rustling sound. However, because it was the end of the year, every house was hung with red lanterns under the eaves. The lanterns were colorful, making the scene surprisingly beautiful.

At this moment, two people were standing under the roof.

The tall young man was bending down slightly to tie a scarf for the other person beside him. The two of them were extremely close. If one walked closer, they could hear the short girl complaining, “Why do I have to wear this?”

“Shh.” The young man whispered into her ear, “Just take it that I’m afraid that your peerless beauty will be seen by others and get us into trouble. Don’t ask too much.”

Shen Miao sneered. “Peerless beauty? Then you should cover your face first.”

“There’s no need for that.” The young man did not notice the sarcasm in the Shen Miao’s words. “I’m powerful and capable. No one dares to mess with me.”

Shen Miao was speechless. She did not expect that after telling Xie Jingxing about the father and son from Liuzhou, Xie Jingxing would choose this hour to go with her. In the middle of the night, the father and son would probably be asleep. However, the reason Xie Jingxing gave was that at night, there would be less people and it was easier for them to make the trip without being seen.

What he said made sense, and Shen Miao could not refute him. However, she did not expect Xie Jingxing would take her to walk on the street openly instead of taking the alleyway.
