Chapter 16 Sliding into the chest
The night wind blew gently through the window, and the candlelight became flickering.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao's gloomy face, and the look of wanting to be angry but enduring it, and she felt like teasing him.
She looked at Xie Lingxiao with a sweet smile and said, "Why is the young master's jade pendant with me? Did I remember it wrongly?"
"Hantan, you stole it." Xie Lingxiao reminded.
If possible, he wanted to lose his memory and forget everything that happened that day.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered: "Steal? It was thrown on the ground and no one wanted it, so I picked it up out of kindness."
Throw it away? Such a valuable jade pendant, do you think he is stupid? He will throw it away by himself.
Seeing Xie Lingxiao staring at her closely, Shen Jingxuan continued, "Since it is ownerless, it will be mine if I pick it up."
Xie Lingxiao frowned, his eyes dark, as if he would break Shen Jingxuan's neck in the next second.
He stared at Shen Jingxuan, his mouth corners drooping slightly: "Are you really not going to return it?"
There seemed to be a layer of frost on Xie Lingxiao's face, making people feel cold and ruthless.
Looking at his gradually gloomy face, Shen Jingxuan took out the jade pendant from under the soft pillow.
"You want this?" As she spoke, she lifted up the jade pendant, shook it, and then put it back in her hand to play with it.
Looking at the familiar jade pendant, Xie Lingxiao reached out to take it back, but Shen Jingxuan dodged it nimbly.
The two men fought back and forth silently.
For a moment, the only sounds in the room were their breathing and the sound of slight fighting echoing in the air.
Although Shen Jingxuan could use the skills from her previous life to fight against Xie Lingxiao, her physical strength could not keep up.
After a few more moves, she was caught by Xie Lingxiao and pressed against the wall.
"Give it to me." Xie Lingxiao held her down with one hand and held her hand holding the jade pendant with the other.
Shen Jingxuan held the jade pendant tightly and looked at the man in front of her calmly.
Xie Lingxiao was very strong and held her hand tightly, unable to move it at all.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly laughed: "Okay, you hold my hand, how can I give it to you?"
She shook her arm deliberately to remind the stinky man.
Xie Lingxiao looked at her smiling eyes and eyebrows, and only then noticed the changes in the ugly woman.
She has fair skin, clear and bright almond-shaped eyes, long and slender eyelashes that slightly tremble, and pink lips that are as delicate and tempting as petals.
Shen Jingxuan now looks completely different than when she was in Hantan.
With such close contact, you can even smell the faint fragrance from the woman.
When Xie Lingxiao heard Shen Jingxuan's words, he subconsciously loosened his grip on her hand.
He held her other hand but had no intention of letting go.
Shen Jingxuan felt the force holding her relax and quickly transferred the jade pendant to her other hand.
Before Xie Lingxiao could react, the jade pendant slid down Shen Jingxuan's collar and into her chest...
Xie Lingxiao's gaze followed her movements and fell on Shen Jingxuan's collar.
When Xie Lingxiao saw the fair skin on Shen Jingxuan's neck, his face instantly turned red.
He suddenly let go of Shen Jingxuan's hand and hurriedly took a few steps back to put some distance between them.
Shen Jingxuan raised her eyes slightly: "Do you want more? Come and get it!"
She didn't believe that Xie Lingxiao would dare to take it back, so it would be safer to put it inside her clothes.
It has always been up to Shen Jingxuan whether she wants to give it or not. Since she doesn't want to give it, how can she let him take it back easily once it is in her hands.
"Shameless!!!"
Xie Lingxiao barely suppressed his irregular heartbeat, and quickly escaped through the window after he finished speaking.
Looking at the stinky man who was driven away in anger, Shen Jingxuan stood there and couldn't stop laughing.
Tears rolled down the corners of my eyes, but the laughter continued.
Xie Lingxiao climbed out of the window and heard loud laughter coming from behind him, and almost stumbled and fell.
Xie Lingxiao's face turned even redder, and the heat on his face did not subside all the way back to the Regent's Palace.
Shen Jingxuan laughed enough, and then she lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon.
In the morning, the sun rises slowly.
After Shen Jingxuan finished washing up, she asked Chuntao to help her pack her clothes and left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with her luggage.
She walked on the street, occasionally going into a shop to buy some things she would need on the way and put them in the space.
Shen Jingxuan saw Yun Qingmo from afar. He was standing outside the Qianyu Chamber of Commerce, looking up at the plaque of the Chamber of Commerce with a frown on his face.
Yun Qingmo stood there quietly and didn't even notice Shen Jingxuan coming to his side.
"What are you thinking about?" She followed Yun Qingmo's gaze and did not notice anything unusual.
Shen Jingxuan's sudden voice startled Yun Qingmo who was in deep thought.
"Miss Shen, why are you here?" Yun Qingmo saw that she was carrying a bag and knew that she was going to leave the city.
"Preparing to leave the city, what are you thinking about looking at the plaque?" Seeing that Yun Qingmo was worried, Shen Jingxuan asked in a calm voice.
"I want to sell the Chamber of Commerce. It is now running out of money. Many people come to collect debts every day. It can no longer operate."
"Let's go inside and talk."
The two of them walked into the Chamber of Commerce one after the other. After sitting down, Yun Qingmo talked about what had happened in the past few days.
After he came to the capital, he had been trying to find a way to keep the Chamber of Commerce going, but things always went against his wishes.
The Chamber of Commerce's business was going downhill, and it was losing money every day it operated. People came to collect debts one after another.
He really couldn't find a way to continue running the business, so he thought about selling the Chamber of Commerce and using the proceeds to pay off his debts.
But Qianyu Chamber of Commerce was the result of his father's hard work over the years, and he was reluctant to sell the only chamber of commerce left by his father.
Shen Jingxuan listened to Yun Qingmo's story silently, and looking at his gloomy expression, she didn't know how to persuade him.
After a long silence, Shen Jingxuan said, "There is always a way. Why rush to sell it?"
Yun Qingmo's eyes lit up: "Miss Shen, do you have a way to revive the Chamber of Commerce?"
"If you can make the Chamber of Commerce better, I will do whatever you say. We will split the Chamber of Commerce's revenue 50-50. How about that?"
"Okay, it's settled. Let's do this..." Shen Jingxuan nodded and agreed.
She told him her thoughts one by one, and Yun Qingmo's eyes brightened the more he listened.
Shen Jingxuan asked him to reorganize and the Chamber of Commerce would be closed for three days to arrange the next things.
She told Yun Qingmo that Qianyu Chamber of Commerce was already a household name in the capital.
This situation only occurred because he neglected management during the period when his father passed away, and there were debt collectors making trouble every day.
Shen Jingxuan asked Yun Qingmo to use three days to appease the debt collectors, negotiate the specific time for repayment, and reorganize the Chamber of Commerce to reopen.
When the store opens, let Yun Qingmo apply for membership. He will be given a corresponding discount based on the amount of money he deposits, and the news will be released in advance at that time.
Shen Jingxuan did not wait for Yun Qingmo to open the business. She just told him what to do, then left Qianyu Chamber of Commerce and embarked on the journey to become his master.
She did not hire a carriage, but set out on foot.
The fight with the stinky man last night made Shen Jingxuan deeply aware that her physical condition was too poor.
Her top priority now is to get her body in good shape.
At least he should recover his skills from his previous life so that he would not be so passive when encountering problems.
Shen Jingxuan trained her body while heading towards her master's sect.
The sun was shining brightly as Shen Jingxuan walked through a forest, preparing to take a short rest.
I heard the sound of stones colliding, an intermittent sound that came from far away and then got closer.
Shen Jingxuan, who was walking quickly, suddenly stopped.
The varying degrees of intensity of the knocking sounds, "Dang, Dang, Dang," made her nervous.
Shen Jingxuan looked in the direction of the sound, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
