Chapter 114 Listening to Loneliness
Originally, Xie Zihan didn't want to leave the house today, but he said he wanted to meet Shen Jiande, so he had no choice but to come to the appointment. He thought it was right for him to leave the house, and he actually met Shen Jingxuan.
At this moment, Shen Jingxuan shuddered because of Xie Zihan's eyes. She quickly took two steps back to put some distance between them.
Shen Jingxuan now confirmed her thoughts. It seemed that she should not have gone out today, otherwise so many things would not have happened.
Xie Zihan rushed forward and wanted to hold Shen Jingxuan's hand, but when his hand was about to cover Shen Jingxuan, she had no time to dodge and an accident happened.
"Ah..." Xie Zihan screamed and quickly withdrew his hand.
I saw that his arm kept shaking and his mouth was slightly pursed, as if he was enduring great pain.
"Prince, do you no longer want this hand? You are actually harassing an unmarried woman on the street." Xie Lingxiao's cold voice sounded.
He was a little angry and didn't want to look at Shen Jingxuan. With her martial arts skills, she could easily avoid Xie Zihan's pull, but she just stood there motionless.
"Uncle..." Xie Zihan shouted, swallowing his anger.
He was already afraid of Xie Lingxiao, and seeing his gloomy face at this moment made him even more frightened.
Xie Lingxiao said coldly: "The prince is free, do you want me to talk to the emperor and find something for you to do?"
Xie Zi Han felt extremely aggrieved. If he let his uncle speak, it would not only be giving him something to do, he would inevitably be reprimanded by his father.
"I won't trouble your uncle. I have an appointment and I'll go get busy." After Xie Zihan said this, he quickly walked towards Zuiyue Tower.
He was afraid that if he left a little later, he would not be able to escape. Given his uncle's personality, he would definitely have someone escort him to see his father.
Shen Jingxuan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the direction he left. Meeting someone? Xie Zihan had nothing to do all day, who would he meet?
When Xie Lingxiao turned his head, he saw her staring blankly in the direction where Xie Zihan had left, and she was even more furious.
This little girl loses her mind when looking at other men. Could it be that I, the regent, am not as good as a prince?
Just as Xie Lingxiao was about to say something, Shen Jingxuan had already walked in the direction Xie Zihan left.
Without even turning her head, she said, "Chun Tao, take Fatty to book a private room. I'll be there later."
Shen Jingxuan's intuition has always been accurate, but Xie Zihan's words just now made her realize that something was not normal.
According to Xie Zihan's personality, he would definitely not go if ordinary people asked him out.
But since he came to the appointment and came to Zuiyue Tower, this made her feel strange.
Although Xie Zihan didn't like her before, when she was entangled with Xie Zihan, she also followed him to many occasions.
Whether he was meeting someone else or going to an appointment, they were all some romantic occasions, but he had never been to Zuiyue Tower.
Xie Lingxiao quickly caught up with Shen Jingxuan: "Where are you going?"
He originally wanted to ask her if she wanted to pursue Xie Zihan, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was inappropriate, so he changed the way he asked.
Shen Jingxuan was surprised that Xie Lingxiao actually followed her: "Why are you here?"
She gestured to Xie Lingxiao to keep quiet, shortened the distance between them, and whispered, "Let's go see who Xie Zihan is meeting. He seems a little strange today."
We? It must be said that these two simple words instantly pleased Xie Lingxiao and even made him feel very good.
He curled his lips slightly, smiled and took Shen Jingxuan's hand: "Come with me."
Xie Lingxiao took Shen Jingxuan and took a shortcut, entering from the back door of Zuiyue Tower, and arrived at Zuiyue Tower before Xie Zihan.
They had a smooth journey and arrived at a private room smoothly. The steward followed them in.
"Master, are you here for something today?" The steward respectfully saluted Xie Lingxiao and asked.
When Shen Jingxuan heard the title of manager, she looked at Xie Lingxiao curiously. She didn't expect that the largest and most prosperous shop in the capital was his.
It seems that he is much more powerful than the rumors say. I don’t know whether the world underestimates him or he knows how to judge the situation and keep a low profile.
Shen Jingxuan, however, was more inclined to the second one. After all, as the regent, there were countless people who were wary of him, not to mention that the emperor was suspicious by nature.
"Has the prince booked a private room?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
The steward spoke without hesitation: "Yes, we have booked a private room, the one at the back. Master, what do you want?"
After he finished replying, he glanced at Shen Jingxuan. It turned out that Guard Ling Feng did not lie to them. He would remember the appearance of this girl and be more respectful to her in the future.
"How about we go to the private room next door?" Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao expectantly.
"Okay," Xie Lingxiao replied gently.
He pulled Shen Jingxuan up and followed the steward to the room next to Xie Zihan's elegant room.
At this time, there were already faint voices coming from the private room next door. Shen Jingxuan broke away from Xie Lingxiao and put her ear against the wall.
Xie Lingxiao shook her head and laughed. She practiced martial arts, so she could hear clearly even without sticking to the wall. However, she neglected it because of her impatience.
He asked the steward to prepare some meals and pulled Shen Jingxuan to sit on a chair.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him suspiciously: "Let's go over and listen to what they said."
"You can hear it too if you sit here," Xie Lingxiao said with a smile.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly remembered that she knew martial arts, which made her different from ordinary people. People who practiced martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, so she foolishly ran to eavesdrop just now.
She lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, eating the meal that the steward had just brought her, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
She had been to Zuiyue Tower several times before, but for some reason, today was different from the past.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Xie Lingxiao's mouth curled up and his hands kept picking up various dishes for Shen Jingxuan.
But when she had eaten and drunk her fill and wanted to listen to the conversations next door, there was no sound and the people were gone.
She raised her hand and slapped her forehead in annoyance, and her mood became depressed.
She had tried her best to secretly see who Xie Zihan was meeting and what they were talking about, but she was so busy eating that she completely forgot about the serious matters.
Xie Lingxiao was amused by her cute appearance when he saw her. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Are you full? If you are full, I will take you back home."
By this time, it was already dark outside, and Xie Lingxiao felt a little uneasy about letting her go back home alone.
More importantly, he didn't want to be separated from Shen Jingxuan so soon.
Shen Jingxuan stood up and said, "I'm full, let's go."
Xie Lingxiao sent Shen Jingxuan to the gate of the mansion, and Lingfeng drove away in the carriage.
At this time, Shen Jingxuan had already forgotten Chuntao and Pangdunzi.
It was not until she returned to her yard and saw Chuntao with a face full of grievance that she understood why she always felt like she had forgotten something.
When she comforted Chuntao and returned to her room, Xie Lingxiao was already waiting there.
