472 Meeting an Old Friend (3)

At that moment, the air seemed to have stopped. In the oil lamp, the sparks burned with a small crackling sound.

Shen Miao looked up at him.

The young man in purple smiled faintly and looked at Shen Miao. Their shadows were reflected on the ground, making them look like he was kissing Shen Miao.

He slowly retracted his hand and sat back down. His voice was still happy as he said, Long time no see, Shen Miao.

The purple-clothed young man reached out and removed the mask on his face.

His eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes were filled with gentleness. It was as if he was still the handsome young man two years ago. The smile on his lips was as frivolous and mischievous as ever, but his eyes were no longer arrogant.

It was a deepness that made people's hearts palpitate. It was like the dark night, beautiful because of the starlight, but it was also terrifying because of the darkness. His nobility and elegance were displayed to the extreme two years later. Every move he made had the innate arrogance of a noble. He was as cold and indifferent as the moon, but he was also as dazzling as the sun.

Without the shackles of his identity, Xie Jingxing, who appeared again, really had an incompatible charm.

He looked at Shen Miao with a faint smile and said ambiguously, We haven't seen each other for two years. Who gave you the guts to call me by my name?

Shen Miao said, Now that you're not the Young Marquis of Lin'an anymore, I can call you Prince Rui if you don't like me to call you by your name. There was finally a hint of sarcasm in her words. From the Young Marquis of Lin'an to Emperor Yong Le's younger brother in the Daliang Dynasty, Xie Jingxing was really unpredictable.

Xie Jingxing smiled lazily and said, If you want to call me by my name, I don't mind. However, I forgot to tell you that Xie Yuan is my real name and Jingxing is my pet name Why? Did you become more affectionate towards me after two years? The smile on his lips was evil and frivolous. Have we reached the point of calling each other by our pet names?

Shen Miao glared at him.

Other than family members, only lovers and husband and wife would call each other by pet names. Shen Miao did not expect that after Xie Jingxing changed his identity, Jingxing would actually become his pet name. Only then did she remember that Emperor Yong Le's surname was also Xie. The royal family of the Daliang Dynasty was the Xie family.

What a coincidence.

Xie Jingxing poured himself some tea. After two years, Shen Xin had already moved out of the Shen Mansion and bought a new house. Xie Jingxing still came uninvited and treated Shen Miao's new house as his own house just like two years ago. He took a sip of tea and glanced at the angry Shen Miao. He seemed to find it very interesting and said, What do you want me to call you, Jiaojiao?

If it were an ordinary woman, she would probably have been mesmerized by the way Xie Jingxing called their pet name. Shen Miao thought that even if Xie Jingxing was not from the royal family, he would probably be able to live a good life as a gigolo.

What is on your mind? Xie Jingxing asked.

I was thinking that you're more handsome than all the top gigolos in the capital. No wonder you have to wear a mask to hide it. Shen Miao deliberately angered him.
