Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]

Chapter 55 Resonance from the soles of the feet

Mu Xishan was pulled by Jiang Qi to a hidden direction, and the surrounding became more and more quiet, except for the sound of the two of them, only the sound of breathing remained.He couldn't see Jiang Qi's face, all he could see was the broad shoulders of an adult male, the straight back, and the muscles that were stiff and tense because he tried his best to suppress his temper.

He withdrew his gaze and looked directly at the back of Jiang Qi's head again. The thick and bristly hair covering it was in line with his tough personality... I have followed Simon countless times before, and I always saw that golden hair pouring down like a waterfall and brushing past him. The touch between the fingers is smooth but not soft, full of solid hardness, which is very in line with the noble and unyielding nature of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Mu Xishan didn't struggle, and held his wrist with great strength. Although it didn't reach the level of pain, he couldn't break free at all.

Jiang Qi opened an unoccupied office nearby, pushed Mu Xishan in, turned around and locked the door, walked to a seat and sat down, patted the back of the chair and said:

"Go ahead."

Mu Xishan stood by the door without moving, "What are you talking about?"

"Tell me what's wrong with you?" Jiang Qi's voice was slightly cold, like a flame covered by an iceberg, hiding heavy and suppressed anger, "I think—as your partner, I have the right to know, my wayward partner Will his abnormal emotions affect the stability of the relationship between the two of you...Although I really want to agree with you, you are always reckless like a child when facing the big situation, which makes me often worry about it!"

Mu Xishan was silent...he didn't want to discuss his emotions, because even he couldn't figure it out.In his past court career, he didn't need any emotions to control his behavior, and he often suppressed excess emotions, so he couldn't make a wrong step. Simon held the thread that was pulling him, and he only chose to follow.At that time, the advantage of beauty was that he took secret weapons from court ladies, and he used other people's admiration for his mission. It was as normal to him as eating and drinking, and it became a part of life...but.

Mu Xishan looked at Jiang Qi silently, and those blue eyes began to brew a storm like waves.

He hates Jiang Qi's similar outline to Simon, and has always had a bad feeling for this person, but he has to admit that this person is helping him and guiding him wholeheartedly.Unlike the previous admirers, this kind of behavior without personal affection will make him feel irritable...unbearable.

For the first time, he felt that using someone who could be used and accepting other people's kindness would become a pressure that bound him, making him feel endlessly irritated, irritated to the point of self-loathing.If Jiang Qi just wanted to discuss this issue, Mu Xishan didn't want to accompany him, so he turned to unlock the door.

There was a creak——Mu Xishan had just opened the lock when there was the sound of messy footsteps, a figure slipped in front of him, and then there was an ear-shattering sound, bang!With a beep, the slightly opened door was mercilessly closed again.The staff who happened to pass by outside the door were startled, "Who is inside?"

"It's me." Jiang Qi replied in a deep voice.Immediately there was a sound of fear and fear outside, and he left quickly while saying "excuse me".

The surroundings returned to silence again, only two people remained.Jiang Qi looked down at Mu Xishan, with one hand pressed against the door, and the other hand resting on the wall next to Mu Xishan's neck.

The weak predicament formed by being held in the arms of someone of similar height made Mu Xishan feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Qi stared at him with dark blue eyes that were almost black, and the hairs on Mu Xishan's body stood up quietly, feeling some kind of imminent crisis.Jiang Qi stretched out his hand and slowly raised Mu Xishan's chin, but it was not in a charming atmosphere, the strength between his fingers could leave red fingerprints on his chin.

Mu Xishan pushed Jiang Qi's shoulder, but Jiang Qi lowered his face and approached slowly, his breath almost hit the tip of Mu Xishan's nose, so close that he couldn't even see his facial features clearly, then turned his head and whispered in Mu Xishan's ear, " ...Don't do anything to provoke me. I don't think you know, but only when I face you, I always have to suppress too much. Although I don't know why, the stowaway in me is very important to me because of you. Fluctuations are always extremely sensitive, and I don't want him to take advantage of any gaps to manipulate my emotions... I think you don't like to see me get angry, do you?"

Mu Xishan's eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking of Simon's change in temperament.Jiang Qi opened Xishan's chin and said in a deep voice:

"Now tell me, what are you messing with?"

Mu Xishan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "...your help to me will only make me feel guilty."

"Guilty?" Jiang Qi was a little surprised to get this answer, and asked instead, "What have you done to offend me? Or...plan to hurt me?"

Mu Xishan lowered his eyes, "It can be said that it is...or it can be said that it is not."

Jiang Qi raised Mu Xishan's chin, looked straight into those eyes, not allowing him to escape, "Speak clearly."

Mu Xishan grabbed the hand on his chin, "Let go of me first."

Jiang Qi let go, and the two sat on the chairs beside them.Mu Xishan's always indifferent face showed some complicated emotions, Jiang Qi let him organize his thoughts and waited quietly. After a while, he heard Mu Xishan say:

"...I have an old friend. When I thought it was absolutely impossible to see him again, he appeared, but he became a complete stranger, and even forgot the past. I want to know the reason."

Jiang Qi didn't hear anything related to him from between the lines, but from Mu Xishan's expression, he could see that the words were closely related to him.

Mu Xishan paused for a moment before saying——

"He is your shadow."

"Xi Shan?" Jiang Qi thought of the reason for their engagement, which was the follow-up incident caused by Xi Shan's appearance in Mu Xishan's room, "Do you know him?"

Mu Xishan shook his head, Xi Shan had something to do with the original body, not him.What he knew was not Xi Shan, but... "He was before he became Xi Shan. I guess, he may be my old friend, although I hope all this is just my delusion." It was too cruel.

Jiang Qi saw the nostalgic and sad expression on Mu Xishan's depression, and subconsciously thought of a name, "It's... Simon?"

Mu Xishan opened his eyes slightly, as if he was surprised to be guessed.

Jiang Qi saw that he didn't refute, but didn't have any joy of guessing. Instead, he clasped his hands together, rubbed them a few times, and suddenly said, "He is your... old lover?" Even the tone was quite cautious.

The two froze at the same time.Mu Xishan was an accident, but Jiang Qi reacted, slightly annoyed, raised his face and looked away, coughed lightly, "Forget it, you don't need to answer."

Mu Xishan looked at Jiang Qi inexplicably, and said incredulously, "Your idea is too absurd, besides...he has a fiancee." Although Jiang Qi's eyes still had doubts, Mu Xishan didn't want to explain things that didn't exist, He continued, "He was originally a very good person. I don't know why he became like this...I said that I would see you once a week, and it was because of this."

"...Your guilt is also caused by this." Jiang Qi let go of his hand and asked back: "Are you going to do something that is not good for me for him?"

Mu Xishan shook his head, "I just want to correct my mistakes, not obliterate the present for a mistake that should have become the past." Mu Xishan raised his head, met Jiang Qi's eyes, and said in a nonchalant tone——

"You are me now...whether I hate it or not."

So, the present that won't be erased refers to him... Jiang Qi's heart skipped a beat suddenly, as if he could see the light passing over his heart from those blue eyes, he looked away uncomfortably, his chin tensed, Seriously and seriously: "If this is the case, you don't have to feel guilty about it."

Jiang Qidao——

"For those who have a bond, relying on each other, or using each other to achieve a certain purpose, is not called using. I prefer to regard it as a secret way of emotional communication, and call it... sharing value."

Jiang Qi restrained the strange feeling of restlessness in his heart, and once again set his sights on Mu Xishan.Mu Xishan still looked at him coldly, as if he had not left any trace in those eyes.But his figure was clearly reflected in those dark green eyes, which was enough to give Jiang Qi a sense of stability.It seems that the palm that has been idle for a long time is finally holding something... Before this, Jiang Qi could not have expected that fate would bring him such a partner.

And this partner left a place in his heart.

Jiang Qi promised, "I am very pleased that you are willing to accept the value of me... and I will accompany you to find out the reason for his appearance."

Mu Xishan nodded, the topic was over, and he got up to leave.Jiang Qi moved his fingers slightly, and suddenly grabbed Mu Xishan's arm, "There is one last question..."

Mu Xishan turned his head and looked down at Jiang Qi, waiting for him to speak.

Jiang Qi pursed her lips, the lines on her face became slightly stiff, and she suddenly asked, "Have you ever been in love with him?"

Mu Xishan bent down and looked at Jiang Qi puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Qi explained calmly, "...I want to know whether his existence will affect the stability of our marriage."

Mu Xishan straightened up and replied truthfully: "I have never had such a disrespectful thought of falling in love with him. I respect him. This kind of dedication is not superficial love... and in my life, I don't need him." A love that is as fragile as a bubble." Mu Xishan tilted his head to look at his watch, it was only a few minutes before the meeting at three o'clock, and he lowered his head and asked Jiang Qi, "Are you still leaving?"

Jiang Qi raised his body slightly, then suddenly stopped, sat firmly on the seat and said, "You go first, I will go later."

Mu Xishan didn't notice anything unusual, nodded and left first.

The footsteps gradually went away, the door was opened and then closed, when only Jiang Qi was left in the room, he suddenly buried his face in his palms and sighed——

"It sucks!"

Jiang Qi's legs suddenly became heavy from the moment just now, getting heavier and heavier, as if about to fall to the ground.

From Mu Xishan's tone just now, Jiang Qi confirmed that he did not have any personal feelings for that Simon, and he was inexplicably relieved, but the vile emotions that spontaneously emerged left an opportunity to take advantage of... I thought it was only a misunderstanding The gap in Xishan's character and the expectation when he wants to get attention are distorted into anger, which is the reason why he resonates with the shadow.

Never expected...even the "secret joy" of the despicable human nature would resonate.Resonance from the heart.

The soles of the feet seem to be drawn by the shadow and cannot be separated from the ground.Jiang Qi couldn't move at all, as if there were countless palms from below, dragging the soles of his shoes, trying to climb up, replace him, and control his emotions.

Jiang Qi didn't know the desire that came from the instinct of the shadow, what was he going to do?

But from the information conveyed by instinct, it can be guessed that this Simon may not be like Mu Xishan, without any personal affair.

Jiang Qi tried his best to calm down his restless heart and get out of the predicament. The hour hand next to him was ticking gradually to three o'clock.
