563 Alliance (4)
Shen Miao followed his gaze and realized that when she was struggling with Xie Changchao, her clothes had been torn by him. Now that a good part of her body was exposed, even revealing her undergarment, she was stunned for a moment before wrapping herself in Xie Jingxing’s cloak.
Xie Jingxing turned around and saw that Shen Miao was still buttoning the cloak, so he walked over and squatted down in front of her. He took out a ribbon from his pocket and helped Shen Miao tie it.
His hands were very good-looking, and his joints were well-defined and slender. The way he tied the cloak was deft and gentle. Shen Miao looked up at him. Xie Jingxing’s eyelashes were extremely long. When they were lowered, his sharp gaze became gentle.
He was focused on tying the cloak, but his face was cold from the beginning to the end, as if he was in a bad mood, but Shen Miao did not know who angered him.
Shen Miao said, “Actually, you don’t have to kill him.”
She was talking about Xie Changchao. There was actually no need for Xie Jingxing to kill Xie Changchao. Xie Changchao was right. Although he was the son of a concubine, he was still Xie Ding’s son. Although she did not know why Xie Jingxing stayed in Ming Qi, this would definitely cause him some unnecessary trouble.
“He saw my face. I can’t let him live,” Xie Jingxing said.
Shen Miao rolled her eyes in her heart. No one wanted to see Xie Jingxing’s face at all. From the beginning until now, it was Xie Jingxing who took the initiative to take off his mask. Xie Jingxing simply wanted to kill Xie Changchao. Why did he have to find such a far-fetched reason?
“Don’t go out so much in the future.” Xie Jingxing said, “If I came any later, something would have happened to you today.” When he said this, he frowned slightly, looking like he was giving a lecture.
Shen Miao was speechless for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, “How are my parents and brother now?”
“The Shen army has all been mobilized. They searched every house in the capital a few times, but to no avail.” Xie Jingxing said, “No one guessed that you were kidnapped to the Marquis of Lin’an’s mansion.” After a pause, he continued, “Luo Tan is seriously injured and has been unconscious. Gao Yang has already gone to the Shen family to save her. I heard that she is getting better.”
“Luo Tan is injured?” Shen Miao was stunned. “Why is she seriously injured?”
“She was stabbed.” Xie Jingxing turned to look at Shen Miao. “Don’t you know?”
Shen Miao shook her head. “At that time, I was knocked unconscious. I don’t even know what happened after that.” After a moment of silence, Shen Miao suddenly thought of something and looked at Xie Jingxing. “Luo Tan was injured and unconscious. Then how did you find me here?”
Xie Jingxing was a little puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Luo Tan was seriously injured, so it was naturally impossible for her to see Xie Jingxing, nor was it possible for her to deliver a message to Xie Jingxing. Then, did Xie Jingxing come to her rescue on his own accord?
Shen Miao felt a little complicated.
On the other hand, Xie Jingxing’s eyes narrowed. He suddenly approached Shen Miao and placed his hands beside her, almost hugging her. He smiled and said, “From what you say, you asked Luo Tan to look for me? To ask me for help?”
Shen Miao pushed him away. She knew that Xie Jingxing was smart and couldn’t hide it from him, so she said, “I just think that you have the ability to save me. Besides, with your status, no one can stop from doing anything.” She emphasized, “I asked Luo Tan to look for you and tell you that if you save me, I’ll pay you accordingly.”
