Chapter 121 Heartbroken for Him
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao calmly, making it impossible for him to guess what she was thinking. The two of them stared at each other quietly.
When Mr. Shen and his group saw Xie Lingxiao, they immediately saluted him: "Regent..."
The mixed voices brought Xie Lingxiao back to his senses. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Mr. Shen up and asked everyone to stand up.
They are all people Shen Jingxuan cares about, how can she let them bow to her.
"Have you seen the list?" Xie Lingxiao asked casually.
He was waiting for Shen Jingxuan at home, but she didn't show up after a long time. Yesterday, he learned that Shen Jingxuan wanted to come and see the list, so he hurried over.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the crowd in front of her, which was still increasing. She frowned and said, "No, there are too many people watching."
Xie Lingxiao turned around and ordered, "Lingfeng, accompany Master Shen to see the list."
"Yes, master." Ling Feng came to Shen Xinglin and held his hand. After a few leaps and landings, their figures were blocked by the crowd.
Shen Jingxuan looked at the place in front of her where Ling Feng disappeared with some envy. She also had martial arts skills, but she could not master the lightness skills to perfection like Ling Feng.
Xie Lingxiao was extremely regretful at this moment. If he had known that Shen Jingxuan would have such an expression, he would have personally taken Shen Xinglin to see the list.
But it was too late to regret now. He couldn't help but move to the side to block Shen Jingxuan's sight, and silently took note of Ling Feng in his heart.
When Ling Feng and Shen Xinglin appeared in everyone's sight again, Shen Xinglin's mouth corners were raised high, and it seemed that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Sister, I got first place." Shen Xinglin's clear voice rang out, and he looked at Shen Jingxuan with sparkling eyes.
Xie Lingxiao was a little surprised, his brows slightly raised, this result really surprised him, he didn't expect Shen Xinglin to be so knowledgeable at such a young age.
Shen Jingxuan touched Shen Xinglin's head: "Lin'er is awesome, sister is proud of you."
She always knew that Shen Xinglin worked very hard. Although his results were beyond her expectations, she thought they were reasonable.
After all, God will not pity anyone. Only through continuous efforts can you get the achievements you want.
When Shen Xinglin heard Shen Jingxuan's words, he grinned and couldn't stop smiling. He knew that his sister had always believed in him, but when he heard her say with his own ears that she was proud of him, he was still overjoyed.
Mr. Shen and his entourage happily took Shen Xinglin back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but Shen Jingxuan got on Xie Lingxiao's carriage and went to the Regent's Mansion with him.
"Where are your things? Do you need to send someone to get them?" Xie Lingxiao asked after sitting down.
His words made Shen Jingxuan stunned for a moment, thinking back to when Xie Lingxiao had just told her about exchanging silver, she was totally unprepared.
She knew clearly that all the things were in the space, but she never thought of taking them out in advance to prepare, and went directly to the Regent's Palace with him.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She wondered when she started to trust Xie Lingxiao so much?
She couldn't help but frown, somewhat confused as to why she trusted him so much that she didn't even think of hiding the secret of space from him.
Seeing her frowning, Xie Lingxiao reminded her, "Miss Shen?"
After thinking about it, Shen Jingxuan said without hesitation: "Prepare an empty room for me, the bigger the better."
She has always done what she wants, and since she didn't put too much defense on her mind just now, she just followed her heart and let nature take its course.
Xie Lingxiao personally brought her to the courtyard next to Lingxu Courtyard. The two of them went to the room together and waited quietly to see what she would do next.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him suspiciously: "Aren't you going out?"
"Do you need me to go out?" Xie Lingxiao said as he walked out.
When he passed by Shen Jingxuan, she grabbed his sleeve and said, "If you don't want to go out, stay here."
Even if he didn't go out, he would know her secret later. Why should she go through all this trouble and make him suspicious? Just let him know.
Xie Lingxiao twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, Shen Jingxuan's change made him ecstatic.
She didn't care about her own secret and was willing to let him know. This was truly the happiest thing that had ever happened to him.
“Okay.” Xie Lingxiao smiled like a child, as if he had eaten his favorite candy, and his eyebrows and eyes became curved.
His smile dazzled Shen Jingxuan's eyes, and made Shen Jingxuan confirm her thoughts in an instant.
Xie Lingxiao liked her. Seeing that he was very happy just because she was not on guard against him and let him know her secret, Shen Jingxuan felt inexplicably sad.
She thought about the time when she first met Xie Lingxiao until now, and how his attitude towards her kept changing.
From being cold and ruthless at the beginning, to gradually becoming calm, constantly helping myself, and now everything makes me happy and angry.
He was the regent and he could get any woman he wanted, but he was so humble as to love her.
Shen Jingxuan felt inexplicably heartbroken, feeling sorry for Xie Lingxiao and that it was not worth it for him. She raised her hand and pressed her chest, and her breathing seemed to become difficult.
She slowly squatted down, but was pulled up by Xie Lingxiao. He asked in panic, "But where do you feel uncomfortable?"
When Shen Jingxuan heard his words, her eyes instantly turned red and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
If what happened in her previous life had not happened, she would gladly accept Xie Lingxiao, even if it meant flying into a flame like a moth, she would be happy to do so.
But how could there be so many ifs? She didn't dare to waver in the slightest, yet she coveted his beauty.
She was even more afraid that she would be trapped in it, causing the barriers she had built with great effort to collapse in an instant, and she would be doomed.
Thinking of the beautiful girls in Xie Lingxiao's mansion, she woke up instantly, as if a basin of ice water was poured over her head, and her whole body became cold.
She disdained to compete for favor with a group of women, nor did she want to live in the backyard and watch their intrigues. She could not accept that one person had many people living in his heart at the same time.
Shen Jingxuan wiped her cheek gently and looked at Xie Lingxiao indifferently. She moved her feet lightly and distanced herself from him.
"Step back a little." She no longer paid attention to Xie Lingxiao and kept taking out boxes from the space and putting them in the room.
At this moment, she just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and didn't want to see anything and anyone here.
By the time she emptied the things from the Dragon City Lord's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, an hour had passed.
After Shen Jingxuan took the things, she turned around and left the room without caring about Xie Lingxiao's reaction, and disappeared in the Regent's Palace.
When Xie Lingxiao came back to his senses from his shock, Shen Jingxuan was no longer there. He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
He had clearly noticed that something was wrong with Shen Jingxuan, but why didn't he ask her the reason or stop her in time?
He looked up at the sky outside. It was still some time before dark, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Xie Lingxiao just hoped that it would get dark soon so that he could go to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to visit Shen Jingxuan.
