When she fell asleep, she did not look unapproachable or dignified. Because of what happened today, her face was a little pale. Wrapped in the fox fur coat Xie Jingxing gave her, she really looked like a little girl who had not grown up yet. Her hair had already been dried by the furnace, and a lock of long hair covered her eyes. Perhaps tickled by it, Shen Miao frowned in her sleep.
Xie Jing walked to her side and paused for a moment. He reached out to tuck a lock of her long hair behind her ear and took out the jade hairpin from his sleeve. He played with it and gently put it back into Shen Miao’s hair. He crossed his arms and looked at Shen Miao for a while. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he raised his eyebrows and said, “You’re really bald. How can you fall asleep, knowing that you are with a strange man.”
After a while, the boat suddenly stopped at the dock.
Xie Jing walked to the bow of the ship, and a few figures in black appeared from the dock. The one in lead said, “Master, it’s all settled. Are you going back to the mansion now?”
Xie Jingxing looked back at the cabin and said, “Go to the princess mansion first. Tie Yi, bring a carriage over.” He turned around and walked into the cabin. He knocked on the table. Shen Miao looked up sleepily. Xie Jingxing said, “We’re at the dock.”
“Already?” Shen Miao immediately came back to her senses. She glanced out of the window and was about to walk out. However, the wound on her leg had not healed yet. As soon as she stood up, her legs went weak and she almost fell. Xie Jingxing grabbed her arm and thought for a moment before reaching out to wrap the fox fur coat around Shen Miao. He then picked her up and walked out of the ship.
Shen Miao was shocked and subconsciously reached out to hug Xie Jingxing’s neck. She looked up and saw Xie Jingxing smiling and saying, “Behave yourself. Don’t take advantage of me.”
Shen Miao was speechless. Xie Jingxing wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He was tall and well-built, so it was effortless for him to carry Shen Miao. Shen Miao leaned her head in his arms. She could feel his firm chest and steady heartbeat, and she actually felt a little shy.
When they left the boat, she realized that there was already a group of men in black standing outside. When they saw Xie Jingxing carrying a little girl out, although they tried their best to hold it in, their expressions still changed drastically. On the other hand, Xie Jingxing looked like it was only natural for him to carry her. He walked to the carriage and threw Shen Miao into it, saying to his subordinate, “To the princess mansion.”
The carriage went away, leaving the men in black looking at each other. A young and tall man said, “Tie Yi, why is Master carrying a girl out? What’s the relationship between that girl and Master?”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Another woman walked over and rubbed her chin. “Over the years, countless beauties wanted to get close to Master, but they couldn’t even touch him. It turns out that Master is into this kind of girl.” Her eyes lit up. “Ha, no wonder.”
“Who said that?” Another charming and mature woman said unhappily, “What’s there to like about that kind of little girl?”
“Huo Long, I know you like Master, but being jealous isn’t going to help.” The woman from before smiled and looked at the middle-aged man in the middle. “Tie Yi, you’re the closest to Master. Who’s that little girl? Tell us.”
“Shut up!” Tie Yi, who was standing in the middle, couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Go back! Do you all have nothing to do? if so, go and guard the tower jail tomorrow!”
As soon as he said that, everyone immediately retreated and said, “I suddenly remembered that there’s something else.” “Tonight was really dangerous.” “Did we get rid of all the corpses?” As they chatted, they walked away.
Tie Yi heaved a sigh of relief and turned to disappear into the night.
