Chapter 225: Walking Hand in Hand

The knocking on the door became more and more rapid. Shen Jingxuan quickly came to the door, but did not rush to open it.

"Who?"

She didn't know anyone in Ningcheng, and the knocking on the door was so urgent that she had to ask for clarification.

"Official officer, please open the door."

A man's voice came from outside, and Shen Jingxuan's brows gradually frowned.

It seems that we have to open the door today.

If she had known this would happen, she would not have chosen this inn.

The moment Shen Jingxuan opened the door, officials and bailiffs swarmed in.

"Have you found anyone suspicious?" the officer stared at Shen Jingxuan and asked.

"Never."

The officer clearly saw that she was the only one in the room, yet he still asked her this question.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the officer calmly.

The officer looked at her carefully and saw that Shen Jingxuan did not seem to be lying, so he led her out of the room.

Shen Jingxuan stood outside the room and looked around.

I saw a woman in a goose yellow dress talking to the officer.

She had no intention of listening carefully, so she returned to her room and locked the door.

The next morning, Shen Jingxuan woke up early, and the moment she opened her eyes, she came to the space.

She walked through the rooms of the villa one by one, but still did not see Xie Lingxiao.

Shen Jingxuan left the room and searched everywhere, and finally saw him where the cat was placed.

Shen Jingxuan continued to move forward, and Xie Lingxiao turned around when he heard the footsteps.

He quickly came to Shen Jingxuan's side: "Xuan'er, what did you do last night?"

The moment Shen Jingxuan left, his heart was in suspense and he was so worried that he couldn't sleep a wink all night.

"The police are here to investigate a case. They knock on the door. Go out and take a look."

"Official?" Xie Lingxiao heard something wrong.

In the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo, no matter how bold the officials were, they would not dare to knock on Shen Jingxuan's door directly.

Shen Jingxuan's current identity is not only the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, she is also the future Regent Princess. Who dares to knock on her door easily?

"You're not at home?" Xie Lingxiao stared into Shen Jingxuan's eyes, not missing a single bit of her expression.

Shen Jingxuan no longer concealed: "Not here."

Seeing Xie Lingxiao staring at him intently, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm in Ningcheng."

After saying that, Shen Jingxuan stopped looking at Xie Lingxiao and squatted down to tease the cat.

Hearing her words, Xie Lingxiao thought of Shen Jingxuan's abnormal behavior in the past few days, and realized that she had been traveling for days for him.

Not only did she fall asleep immediately due to exhaustion, but she also looked disheveled from traveling for days.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingxiao's eyes turned red instantly.

He pulled Shen Jingxuan up and held her in his arms: "Xuan'er, thank you."

Xie Lingxiao knew that she was worried about her health, but he didn't expect that she would endure the hardship of traveling alone in order to avoid getting tired of traveling himself.

"We don't have to talk about this."

With everything Xie Lingxiao has done for her, it is worth it for her to do all this for him.

"Okay, I won't tell you." Xie Lingxiao gradually tightened his arms around her.

He remembered everything Shen Jingxuan did for her, and he would only feel better if he treated her better in the future, so that he would not feel so sad.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan's thin body after just three days, Xie Lingxiao felt a slight pain in his heart.

He felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have mentioned the Chen Mansion in front of Shen Jingxuan.

He shouldn't have discussed with her again and again in an attempt to get her consent when she refused to let him come to Ningcheng.

If he hadn't been hesitating between wanting to come to the Chen Mansion and not wanting to make Shen Jingxuan angry, she wouldn't have come alone.

"Axiao, let's go out and see your grandmother." Shen Jingxuan gently pushed him away.

Xie Lingxiao refused to let go, "Let's go."

Seeing that he didn't let go, Shen Jingxuan stopped forcing him, and they both went back to the room.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Xie Lingxiao lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips.

He kissed Shen Jingxuan gently, as if she were a rare treasure, with light and gentle kisses.

After a long time, Xie Lingxiao's forehead touched Shen Jingxuan's. The room was silent for a while, with only the breathing sounds of the two people remaining.

"Ah Xiao, let's go."

The two of them slowly recovered their breath, and Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan's hand and left the inn with her.

They walked slowly down the street.

"Xuan'er, is there any place you want to go? I'll go with you first."

When they went to the capital, they had never walked hand in hand like they did now.

Now that he has experienced it himself, Xie Lingxiao likes this feeling.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Shen Jingxuan took him for a walk on the street.

The two of them walked from shop to shop.

Xie Lingxiao looked at the shop in front of him, as if he was frozen in place, standing there unwilling to move an inch.

"Xuan'er, let's go in and take a look."

Shen Jingxuan looked at the jewelry shop and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Although she doesn't like wearing jewelry, there is no woman who doesn't like jewelry, especially those given by her loved one.

"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.

Seeing that she agreed, Xie Lingxiao pulled her into the shop.

"Sir, would you like to choose some jewelry for your wife?" The shop assistant greeted him with a smile.

When Xie Lingxiao heard the word "Madam", he was extremely satisfied with the waiter.

"Well, help Madam choose some jewelry."

When Shen Jingxuan heard what Xie Lingxiao said, her face gradually turned red.

They have not yet gotten married, but Xie Lingxiao calls her Madam so skillfully.

"Sir, take a look. These are the latest jewelry styles. You won't find another one like them in the entire Ningcheng."

Xie Lingxiao looked at them one by one, and finally his eyes fell on a white jade hairpin. Just by looking at the color of the jade, he knew it was of excellent quality.

The hairpin was of a simple style, with only a vague plum blossom pattern visible on it, and two small plum blossom petals hanging on the other side.

"Xuan'er, what do you think of this hairpin?"

He knew Shen Jingxuan's preferences. She usually only wore a hairpin in her hair, which was the gift he gave her as a coming-of-age gift.

Shen Jingxuan took the hairpin and looked at it carefully. Although the quality of the jade was not as good as the hairpin Xie Lingxiao gave her, it was slightly better than the others.

"Very good." Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao with a smile.

The waiter saw the two of them discussing with each other and said, "It seems that the young master and your wife have a very good relationship. It's really enviable to see them."

After hearing what the waiter said, Xie Lingxiao's smile gradually widened.

Looking at Shen Jingxuan's shy look with her eyes downcast, I felt even happier.

“We’re looking at the others.”

Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan's hand and refused to let go, and took her to look at it one by one.

Every time he took a look, he would ask Shen Jingxuan if she liked it.

Even if he didn't get an answer from Shen Jingxuan, as long as she looked at it a few more times, Xie Lingxiao would ask the waiter to help put it away first.

After looking around, the guy's smile grew wider and wider, and he generously praised Xie Lingxiao for being good to his wife.

Xie Lingxiao seemed to be overwhelmed by the waiter's praise, and asked the waiter to keep anything he liked.

It was not until Shen Jingxuan gently shook his hand that Xie Lingxiao gave up the idea of ​​continuing to watch.

When Shen Jingxuan looked at the waiter, she was really shocked.

There were six or seven hairpins on the tray in the waiter's hand. When put together with the other things, the tray could hardly hold them all.

She couldn't help but glare at Xie Lingxiao.

If it were other things, it would be fine, but if I bought so many hairpins, would they just be left there and get dusty?

Shen Jingxuan looked at the waiter: "Just choose one or two from them, there's no need for so many."

Seeing that Shen Jingxuan insisted, Xie Lingxiao did not force her. After all, these things were not really top-notch.

He would just wait until the future to find someone better for her.

"Then please choose." The waiter handed the tray to Shen Jingxuan.

At her insistence, she chose a hairpin and a bracelet, and asked the waiter to put the rest back.

"Hey, we want these two." Shen Jingxuan handed the tray to the waiter.

Although a little disappointed, the waiter still smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

Shen Jingxuan suddenly called the waiter again: "There is also this hairpin."

She slowly spread out her hands, and in her hands was the hairpin that Xie Lingxiao had first chosen.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The guy stretched out his hand.

Before he could get the hairpin, he saw that Shen Jingxuan's hand was empty and there was no trace of the hairpin.
