Military Young Master’s Sweetheart - Chapter 42

“I see that your window has been opened …”

Shen Peian pretended to be indifferent, but there was a hint of unease in his tone. How could he have imagined that Xia Xingyu would open the door and come in?

Xia Xingyu nodded thoughtfully at Shen Peian’s words.

“Oh, so you’re too lazy to go through the main entrance?”

There was a hint of mockery in his words, Shen Peian might not be able to understand it.

He ignored Xia Xingyu’s teasing and directly took out a small box from his pocket and placed it on the table.

“This is the incense that Xia Ying lit in your room last night. I sent someone to check and found that this is a chronic poison.”

“If I didn’t notice it last night, you would have died today!”

Xia Xingyu heard this and was stunned. No wonder Xia Ying was so surprised when he saw her just now.

So that’s how it was.

After only sleeping for a bit, she actually brushed shoulders with the Death God. Xia Xingyu could feel a burst of fear in her heart. She had already died once, so she naturally treasured this chance to live.

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked.

“If I die… Are you going to die too? ”

They slept together last night. If they didn’t find this incense, then the bodies lying here today should be two.

Xia Ying’s hatred for him was within reason, but if Shen Peian was implicated because of this, Xia Xingyu would definitely hate him.

Shen Peian seemed to have seen through the thoughts of the woman as he answered.

“I won’t die!” “With me here, you won’t die.”

What he said made Xia Xingyu feel a sense of security.

The woman was slightly moved. A moment later, she calmed herself down, walked over to the table, and picked up the box’s contents. She looked at it for a long time.

“Where did she get them?”

Shen Peian naturally thought of Xia Xingyu’s problems, but his people have yet to find out.

“We can go with her.”

Shen Peian was sure that if Xia Ying’s plan failed, he would think that there was something wrong with Xiang Xun to question the seller.

Sure enough, as soon as they left the company, someone sent a message to Shen Peian saying that Xia Ying had gone to a beauty salon called the Beautiful Woman.

“Let’s go take a look.”

Xia Xingyu had the driver change direction.

Although she wasn’t sure if Xia Ying would contact the seller, she knew that if his plan failed, he would definitely take the next step.

Xia Xingyu had to uncover Xia Ying’s fox tail before that.

In less than twenty minutes, they reached their destination.

The pretty person was an extremely remote and small beauty center. This name was common, and it could be found in many places.

Xia Xingyu looked around, sure that Xia Ying must have an unusual purpose in coming here.

“We’ll pretend to be husband and wife later and say that we want to consult …”

The woman made her own plans, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Shen Peian.

“No need, I will take you to sneak in without anyone noticing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Peian grabbed Xia Xingyu and dragged her away. He protected her behind him and soon arrived in front of a shabby door.

“I’ve checked earlier, this should be the back door. Other than the garbage, no one else has passed.”

Xia Xingyu frowned after hearing this. How come she didn’t know when this man had investigated?

Before she could figure it out, she was dragged away by a man.

Shen Peian’s broad and soft palm caused a warm feeling to run through Xia Xingyu’s heart.

Although this was a content organization, the atmosphere was very strange. There weren’t many people coming and going. On the contrary, there were people on duty in every small room.

Shen Peian and Xia Xingyu were walking around openly, probably because they were wearing clothes that matched the status of the people who came to buy food, so they could be considered unobstructed.

“That incense has no use at all! She even showed up in front of me this morning! ”

Hearing this, Xia Xingyu stopped in his tracks. Clearly, this was Xia Ying’s voice.

She really came to denounce him!

Xia Ying was in a small room, and through the crack in the door, Xia Xingyu could clearly see her and the person who gave her the fragrance.

“Miss Xia, that’s impossible! Did you not light the incense? Or was it extinguished in the middle of it! ”

“You are also one of our old customers. How’s our fragrance? You know better than anyone… I have served you for so long, you must trust me! ”

That person was likely her advisor. She did her best to prove that her products were not a problem. After all, there was still a lot of money that she had yet to earn from Xia Ying.

Xia Ying had been persuaded by him in a few words, but he still felt puzzled.

“Could it really have been discovered by them?”

“Teacher Zhang, what should I do next?”

Xia Ying’s momentum weakened once again. She still needed to rely on the schemes of these people to become the successor of the Imperial Conglomerate. As long as her temper was small, she couldn’t offend them.

Seeing Xia Ying’s relaxed expression, Zhang laoshi finally smiled. She rolled her eyes and a good idea suddenly popped into her head.

“What are you doing …”

She taught them in great detail, and Xia Xingyu and Shen Peian couldn’t help but be startled.

If Xia Ying really did this, she would definitely die.

But the woman inside seemed worried.

“Teacher Zhang, if I do this, no one would find fault with me!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid of falling into the trap, Xia Ying would have killed Xia Xingyu himself. Why would he bother to seek help from these people?

That Zhang laoshi smiled and shook his head as she replied confidently.

“Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll send someone to go with you. Our service is definitely worth the money you spend.”

Xia Xingyu and Shen Peian got the information they wanted, and did not stay any longer.

After leaving this place, they did not immediately return home, but instead walked outside.

“No wonder you hate her so much!”

Shen Peian suddenly understood what Xia Xingyu was doing. The feud between these rich families was even more terrible than he had imagined.

Although he could be considered to be from a wealthy family, his family was very harmonious, so there was no way something like that would happen.

“Xia Ying has always wanted to kill me, but I’ve always been too merciful towards her.”

Xia Xingyu thought this as she clenched her fists. The hatred on her face made Shen Peian’s heart ache.

Slowly, something seemed to melt in his heart.

“I’m sorry.”

Shen Peian’s sudden apology confused Xia Xingyu, and a moment later, she understood the meaning of his words.

“I’m fine.”

“If you didn’t stop me, I would have become the same person as her, Shen Peian. I don’t want to become that kind of person.”

Xia Xingyu said as she met the man’s eyes. At this moment, she was glad to have Shen Peian by her side.
