Meeting an Old Friend (4)

Xie Jingxing choked. He seemed to have thought of something and his lazy expression froze for a moment. Seeing him like this, Shen Miao was extremely happy. Before she could speak, Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you so worried about me? It seems like you like me a lot."1

Shen Miao said, "Prince Rui, don't flatter yourself." Shen Miao decided to call him by "Prince Rui" instead, obviously wanting to draw a line.

"When you hugged me and forced a kiss on me, you weren't so heartless," he said.

Shen Miao widened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief, not knowing that she looked like a deer that had just been born in a deep mountain. Her black eyes were clear and round, looking very pitiful.

She said, "What do you mean by that?"

Xie Jingxing reached out and pinched her face. He was so fast that Shen Miao couldn't dodge. By the time she reacted, Xie Jingxing had already retracted his hand. He thought for a moment and said, "It seems like you can't remember. On the first night you left the capital, I went to send you off."

Shen Miao was stunned and looked at him without saying anything.

Xie Jingxing sighed. "As expected, you didn't recognize me after being drunk. Don't you remember what you did to me?"

Shen Miao looked troubled.

As the saying went, drinking alcohol would cause trouble. She actually had a good alcohol tolerance, but the plum blossom wine that night was too intoxicating. In order to not blurt out saying something she shouldn't and to prevent others from suspecting her, she avoided everyone and slept in a room alone. She did not expect… Xie Jingxing to have been there.

"Prince Rui, you must be joking. What can I do to you? We are barely friends." Shen Miao suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, looking calm on the surface. She knew very little about the thing between men and women. In her previous life, she spent all her time trying to please Fu Xiuyi and never had anything to do with other men. In this aspect, she was really clueless.

Xie Jingxing smiled and was not in a hurry to refute. He said unhurriedly, "You seem to want to be the empress very much. After getting drunk, you wanted Eunuch Li to take you to watch fireworks and ask the crown prince and princess to accompany you." He looked at Shen Miao with interest. "Empress Shen?"

Shen Miao almost spat out her tea!

It had been many years since she heard people calling her Empress Shen. For a moment, Shen Miao almost thought that she was in a dream. She was afraid that after she woke up from the dream, she was still in that cold palace, walking step by step towards the end of her life and her family.

Shen Miao's entire body froze, but she had to admit a fact. She originally thought that Xie Jingxing was deliberately lying to her. Now, it seemed that Xie Jingxing really came that night and really saw her drunk. Otherwise, how could he know so much? However… How much did she say and how much did Xie Jingxing hear? Xie Jingxing was so smart. How much did he have guessed?

When Xie Jingxing saw her uneasy expression, his eyes darkened, but he smiled and said, "You don't have to be so afraid. I've always been tolerant of women. Do you want to know what you did to me?"

"What did I do?" Shen Miao looked at him calmly.

"It's nothing outrageous." Xie Jingxing supported his chin with his hand lazily, as if he was thinking, but what he said was shocking. "You just hugged me and refused to let me go. You pressed me down and kissed me. You cried and shouted that you wanted to be my empress and asked me not to neglect you."

Shen Miao was dumbfounded.

"You liar, I didn't do that," Shen Miao said. No matter how drunk she was, she would not have any designs on Xie Jingxing. Moreover, that was not her style.
