Chapter 419: Kiss (6)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xie Jingxing was dumbfounded.
He stared at Shen Miao thoughtfully and asked, “Are you pretending to be drunk?”
“Young Marquis Xie, a young talent, an eternal figure, died…” The rest of her sentence gradually trailed off, as if she couldn’t remember it.
At first, Xie Jingxing was a little suspicious, but when he saw that Shen Miao did not seem to be pretending, he found it a little strange. He raised his eyebrows and said, “I didn’t expect you to think so highly of me.” He leaned closer and teased, “Don’t tell me you like me.”
Shen Miao reached out and pushed his head away.
Xie Jingxing was a little speechless. Normally, it would be very interesting to tease Shen Miao. However, now that Shen Miao was so drunk that she even commented on him as an “eternal figure”, he found it very boring to tease her now. He said, “I wanted to see you for the last time. But since you are so drunk, forget it. Farewell.” As he spoke, he was about to leave when he heard a thud and Shen Miao fell to the ground again.
Xie Jingxing first wanted to help Shen Miao up, but then he stopped and stood at the side with his arms crossed. He watched Shen Miao struggle on the ground in enjoyment for a while before saying, “I really should let you see yourself like this.”
Shen Miao was dizzy from drinking and her body was weak. How could she stand up? She struggled on the ground for a long time but to no avail. In the end, Xie Jingxing couldn’t stand it anymore. He helped her up again to sit on the couch. He heard Shen Miao say, “Eunuch Li, I want to see the fireworks.”
In the quiet night, Shen Miao’s words were especially clear.
Eunuch Li, I want to see the fireworks.
The charcoal in the room seemed to have frozen.
The corners of Xie Jingxing’s lips slowly lowered, and his eyes were no longer filled with a teasing smile. He squatted down slightly and looked at Shen Miao, who was sitting on the couch. He said, “What did you say?”
Shen Miao opened her eyes and looked at him. Under the light, her eyes became clearer and clearer. In her clear eyes, there was a hint of drunkenness, making the young girl suddenly look more like a woman. She stretched out a hand, as if she was about to put it on the hand of a palace maid, and ordered, “Eunuch Li, I want to see the fireworks. Go and call the crown prince and princess over.”
Crown Prince? Princess?
Xie Jingxing stared fixedly at Shen Miao. His eyes were as handsome as a painting. When he smiled, he was as charming as spring flowers and autumn moon. When he did not smile, he was as dangerous as the abyss. He looked at Shen Miao and suddenly chuckled.
However, although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. He gently lifted Shen Miao’s chin. This extremely seductive action was elegant and natural when it was done by him.
He asked, “Shen Miao, do you want to be the empress?”
Shen Miao blinked at him and said, “That’s mine to begin with.”
“Yours?”
“It’s mine.”
Xie Jingxing slowly tightened his grip. Shen Miao frowned in dissatisfaction.
“Little girl, you already have the ambition to be the empress at such a young age.” His tone was unclear, but his eyes were dangerous. “A woman with ambition is the most beautiful, but… you’re not a woman yet.”
Shen Miao also looked at him. Under the moonlight, the snow was clear, and the plum trees were swaying gently. The atmosphere was filled with danger and ambiguity.
She was like a girl who had been pampered since she was young. If she were an ordinary girl, she would soon be married to a good husband. However, she had been patiently scheming and planning step by step. Although Xie Jingxing had already guessed that she was ambitious, he couldn’t help but be surprised when he really heard it.
