He was handsome to begin with and usually looked gentle. When he approached, his smile was a little mischievous. Luo Tan blushed for no reason and pushed him away, saying angrily, “Of course be careful not to die.”
“Don’t you think it’s very good for you if I’m dead?” Gao Yang waved his fan. “If I’m dead, you can take over the entire Gao mansion. You can order the servants around, and you can squander my money freely, and those shops and lands…”
“Wait.” Luo Tan quickly interrupted him and said, “Who wants your money?
The Luo family doesn’t lack money, okay? Besides, do you think I’m a fool? What does your money have to do with me? You’re crazy.”
Gao Yang said, “Don’t you know why you’ll be the one to inherit all my money if I die?”
“Why would I know?” Luo Tan was puzzled. Then, she asked tentatively, “Could it be… that the money is from my father? Are you actually my father’s subordinate?” She covered her mouth and said in fear, “Did my father send you to spy on me?”
Gao Yang was speechless.
After a while, he let out a sigh and knocked Luo Tan’s forehead. “You are usually quite smart. Why are you so stupid today?”
Luo Tan said, “Hey, explain it.”
Gao Yang suddenly placed a finger on Luo Tan’s mouth and made a shushing gesture. Luo Tan was stunned and felt that when Gao Yang’ touched her mouth, her body went numb.
“Think about what kind of relationship I have with you. Tell me when I come back.” Gao Yang placed a medical book on Luo Tan’s head. “Now, help me pack up.” With that, he turned around and started packing up.
Luo Tan looked at his back, but unexpectedly, she did not flare up. She pouted and started to pack up obediently.
“Are you done or not?”
“I’m almost done. I’m almost done.”
“Ouch, it hurts.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll be gentle.”
Outside the door, Cong Yang, MO Qing, and Jingzhe, Gu Yu, were red in the face. Jingzhe said, “Ah, I remember that the clothes are not dry yet. I’ll go and dry them first.”
Gu Yu quickly said, “I’ll go and help too.”
Cong Yang also said, “I’ll go and dry the blanket too.”
MO Qing noaaea vigorously.
The four of them instantly scattered like birds.
Only Tie Yi, who was squatting on the tree, was unmoved like a mountain.
In the room, Xie Jingxing held his forehead helplessly. Shen Miao finally tied the last string and clapped her hands in satisfaction. “Done!”
Xie Jingxing looked at the red strings on his wrist and felt a headache coming on. Why did she tie up so many red strings on him for no reason? Shen Miao held her cheek and said with a smile, “Even if one is broken, there are still many.”
Before he could speak, Shen Miao stood up and sat on his lap, scaring Xie Jingxing.
The wine jars in the room were all empty, and the smell of alcohol filled the room. Shen Miao drank until her face was red and as beautiful as a flower. She held his face with both hands and kissed it.
Xie Jingxing was calm. From the time Shen Miao was drunk until now, she had probably kissed him dozens of times. As long as Shen Miao was drunk, heh, he could basically see a completely different woman.
Prince Rui had lived for so long and had flirted with countless women, but there was only one who managed to flirt with him, and she would refuse to admit it after sobering up.
“You are indeed quite pretty.” Shen Miao said, “You can be a courtesan.”
Xie Jingxing stared at her expressionlessly for a while before saying, “Thank you for your appreciation, Madam.”
Shen Miao was satisfied and said, “I’ll reward you with some money. Take it to buy clothes.” She took out something from her sleeve and threw it to Xie Jingxing.
It was the jade token Xie Jingxing gave her when she was in Ming Qi.
Before Xie Jingxing could see it clearly, Shen Miao waved her hand and said, “No, no, no, I gave you the wrong one. My husband gave this to me.” She quickly took it back.
“Husband?” He raised an eyebrow. “You still remember that you have a husband.”
Shen Miao looked at him. “Yes, my husband is better-looking than you.” Xie Jingxing was speechless.
“But he’s going to war.” She buried her head in Xie Jingxing’s shoulder again and found a comfortable position to snuggle up. She yawned and seemed to be a little sleepy. She said in a daze, “That’s why I get drunk. This way, when he leaves, I won’t be able to see him off.”
“Why don’t you want to see him off?” Xie Jingxing frowned.
Her voice gradually trailed off. “Because I don’t want him to be tied down by love. If I watch him leave, I won’t be able to bear to…” At the end of her sentence, her breathing was even and long. She was really in a deep sleep.
Xie Jingxing found it a little funny, but in the end, he gradually stopped smiling. He looked down at the woman sleeping in his arms and paused for a moment before saying softly, “Actually, you can be willful and ask me to stay.”
Shen Miao did not answer him.
He picked up Shen Miao and placed her on the bed. He covered her with the blanket and reached out to hold her hand. He sat by the bed and did nothing. He just looked at her sleeping face.
In the second half of the night, Tie Yi knocked on the door. “Master, we can set off now.”
He paused for a moment and leaned over to plant a kiss on the woman’s forehead.
Then, he strode out of the door.
After the door was closed, Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes.
She couldn’t bear to part with him.
She couldn’t bring herself to watch him leave soberly, but she also couldn’t bring herself to be drunk and sleeping when he left.
Separation was always a sad thing.
She wanted to let him leave without burden and return like a hero.
Footsteps sounded outside the door. They sounded light and steady. There were other people, but Shen Miao seemed to be able to tell which one belonged to her man.
When the footsteps passed by the room, the person stopped for a moment before continuing on.
The long night was about to end, and a new day was about to arrive.
She did not know how long she slept on the bed before waking up. After waiting for a long time, Jingzhe came in with a basin of water. Seeing that she was sitting on the bed and thinking, she said in surprise, “Madam, you’re awake?”
“Yes,” she replied. “I have to go to the palace..”
