Chapter 195 Shen Muxi, do you think I am not worthy of you?
"what?"
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes, blinked her innocent big eyes, and looked at Shen Muxi longingly, "Uncle Jing said that if Xiaoxiao misses Uncle Jing, she can go to play with Uncle Jing after asking for mother's consent. Now, can Xiaoxiao go to play with Uncle Jing?"
Shen Muxi glanced at the sky and said with regret, "Maybe not today."
Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little lost, "Why?"
"Because the sun is about to set, and it's almost time for dinner. Uncle Jing is very busy with work. If he spends this time with you now, he won't have time for dinner. If he's even busier, he might have to work late into the night. Can you bear to see Uncle Jing working so hard?"
"Uncle Jing is so hard-working," Gu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, widened her eyes and shook her head repeatedly, "Xiaoxiao won't look for Uncle Gu anymore. I'll look for him when he's not busy."
"Xiaoxiao, be good."
He coaxed his daughter with just a few words.
Shen Muxi was thinking about something else - Xiaoxiao was becoming more and more dependent on Murong Jingyan, which was not a good sign for her.
Back then in Prince Rong's Mansion, she and Xiaoxiao wanted to live in peace with the world.
But Su Liuxi and her daughter did not let them go.
Just like the palace gate is as deep as the sea.
The fights in the harem would be even more brutal than the little quarrels between her and Su Liuxi in Prince Rong's Mansion.
She didn't want to be involved in such disputes again.
Murong Jingyan's identity was destined to have nothing to do with her.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
Having made up his mind, Shen Muxi decided to go talk to Murong Jingyan.
...
Just as the servants of Xiaodong Palace guessed.
Murong Jingyan has been very busy with the preparations for his ascension to the throne recently.
But no matter how late it is, he will leave the palace and return to the Xiaodong Palace.
That night.
As usual, Murong Jingyan returned to the Xiaodong Palace and went straight to the side yard, intending to visit Shen Muxi first.
Unexpectedly, the side yard was brightly lit today.
Ok?
Was he discovered?
Thinking of this, Murong Jingyan turned around and was about to leave.
Xia Chan's voice came from behind, "Your Highness, our girl is waiting for you in the front hall."
Murong Jingyan gritted his teeth.
"I know."
The moment Murong Jingyan stepped into the main hall and saw Shen Muxi, his ears turned red.
"Your Highness, why are you here so late?"
Shen Muxi looked at him with a smile.
It's like catching a kid doing something bad.
When she heard the servants report to her today, she still found it unbelievable.
Murong Jingyan is so busy, how could he have nothing better to do than come to see her and stay outside her room for a while after the lights go out before leaving?
Look, we caught him red-handed today.
Murong Jingyan looked innocent, "I was just passing by."
His tone was calm.
If her ears hadn't been red, Shen Muxi would have almost believed his lies.
She chuckled and waved at Xia Chan.
Xia Chan retreated silently.
Only Shen Muxi and Murong Jingyan were left in the front hall.
It was so quiet that you could even hear the sound of burning candles.
I don't know who sighed first.
Shen Muxi spoke.
"Your Highness, you have already guessed what I want to say..."
Before she could finish, Murong Jingyan stood up and said, "If you don't want to see me, I'll leave."
Shen Muxi stepped forward to stop him, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant..."
"That's not what you mean, then what do you mean?"
The words had already been spoken, and Murong Jingyan said with a bit of a broken jar and a sullen tone, "I know what you want to say. You just want to tell me that you want to leave. Shen Muxi, do you think that I am not worthy of you?"
"No...that's not what I meant."
Even after being reborn again and again, Shen Muxi's instinct to care for others still exists.
Seeing Murong Jingyan's rare expression of anxiety, she also became anxious, "Your Highness, I am not worthy of you."
"If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it," Murong Jingyan held Shen Muxi's shoulders and forced her to look at him. "Shen Muxi, I care about you, don't you feel anything at all?"
The layer of paper that was barely visible had been completely torn.
There is no way out.
Shen Muxi mustered up her courage and looked at him firmly. "I do, but Your Highness and I have never been from the same world. Your Highness is saying this now, most likely because of the novelty. Once the novelty wears off, it will be nothing."
Shen Muxi turned around, not daring to look at Murong Jingyan's eyes.
Murong Jingyan was a little excited, "Not everyone in this world is Gu Shi."
It is Gu Shi's fault that he is ungrateful and doesn't know how to cherish.
But he and Gu Shi have never been the same kind of people.
"Your Highness."
Shen Muxi covered her ears with her hands, unwilling to listen any further. "When every man makes a promise, he wants to cut his heart out, but so what? What can it prove?"
"If a woman only wants a man's true heart, once the man changes his mind and falls in love with someone else, the woman will get nothing but bruises all over her body. I've already died once, and I don't want to die a second time."
Unlike her usual calmness and composure, her words today were extremely fierce.
She didn't even want to give Murong Jingyan a glance.
Murong Jingyan seemed to be very shocked and stood there in a daze.
In the end, nothing was said.
Shen Muxi kept covering her ears and didn't even know when Murong Jingyan left.
I feel depressed.
It was even more painful than when he saw Gu Shi approaching Su Liuxi with his own eyes.
Until my vision became blurred.
Shen Muxi was shocked to realize that she had burst into tears without knowing when.
She wiped away her tears vigorously, forcing herself not to think about Murong Jingyan's sincere eyes.
He muttered to himself as if brainwashing himself, "All crows are black. No matter how many vows we make, they can never withstand the cruelty of time."
