Chapter 85: Meeting the Young Marquis at Night (6)

When dealing with Xie Jingxing, it was as if she was walking on a tightrope. This man was young but unfathomable. Every word he said seemed to be unintentional, but he was trying to sound her out. That kind of dangerous feeling made her uneasy. Although she did not treat the Marquis of Lin'an as an enemy of the Shen family, Xie Jingxing might not think so.

Tonight, Xie Jingxing should be here for something. Unlike the frivolous Young Marquis Xie in the capital, he seemed to have changed into a different person on the rainy night. Back then, she only knew that Xie Jingxing was quite capable. Now that she thought about it, the Marquis of Lin'an must be hiding some secrets.

Her gaze landed on the table. The pastries that Xie Jingxing had not finished were still on the table. If not for these, she might think she just had a dream. However, now was not the time to think about this. Xie Jingxing was not very important to her now. Tomorrow… She must wait until tomorrow.
