Seeing Su Mingfeng like this, Xie Jingxing said, “Are you implying that I won’t be able to return in one piece?”
“You little bastard!” Su Mingfeng cursed angrily. “Why didn’t you discuss this with me beforehand?”
“Is there a point in discussing it with you?” Xie Jingxing took a teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. “It won’t make a difference.”
“You!” Su Mingfeng was angry, but at the same time, he was helpless. He knew that Xie Jingxing had always been a rebellious person, and no matter what he decided, he would never change his mind. Although the two of them were childhood friends, now it seemed that Xie Jingxing had been holding back more stuff from him than before. Even if Xie Jingxing decided to tell him, it was more like a “notification”.
For example, at this moment, Xie Jingxing was just here to “notify” him and tell him when he’d set off.
“Why do you have to go to the northern border?” Su Mingfeng paced back and forth in the room. “Do you want to die? Do you know that if you win, it’ll naturally be good, but if you lose… Your two half-brothers will be the first to clap and cheer!” Su Mingfeng suddenly clapped his hands in front of Xie Jingxing and said, “Are you not afraid of what your father will say?” At this point, he suddenly paused and looked at Xie Jingxing. “Does your father know about this?”
Xie Jingxing shook his head.
“I knew it!” Su Mingfeng said, “Marquis Xie will definitely be furious when he finds out that you’re so willful. At that time, he will give your two half-brothers what is supposed to be yours. Who knows what the situation will be like when you return from the Northern border? Xie Jingxing, are you really alright with that?” Su Mingfeng treated Xie Jingxing as a true friend and was genuinely thinking for him.
Xie Jingxing smiled, not wanting to talk about this anymore. He said, “When I leave the capital, help me take care of the princess’s mansion.”
In the capital, other than the Su family, Xie Jingxing had the most interactions with Princess Rong Xin. At this moment, if he went to the northern border, he would be gone for at least a year and a half. If Princess Rong Xin found out, she would be sad.
Su Mingfeng wanted to reprimand Xie Jingxing again, but when he saw that Xie Jingxing’s expression was a little dark, he did not say anything else. Xie Jingxing continued, “In two years, it’s best if the Su family avoids the limelight and not attract too much attention. As for you, don’t become an official. Just pretend that you’re sick.”
“Eh?” Su Mingfeng found it strange. “What does this have to do with me?”
“Do as I tell you.” Xie Jingxing glanced at him and stood up. “I’m leaving.”
“Hey.” Su Mingfeng shouted, “You, you’re leaving just like that? What exactly are you coming here for today?”
“To say goodbye.” Xie Jingxing shrugged, but he suddenly heard a thud at the door. Su Mingfeng was shocked and opened the door. A chubby meatball rolled in.
Su Mingfeng helped him up and patted the dust off his clothes before saying, “Minglang, what are you doing here?”
The chubby ball was none other than the second young master of the Su family, Su Minglang. When he saw that there was someone else in the room, and this person was Xie Jingxing, he was first frightened and trembled. Then, he hid behind Su Mingfeng and held the corner of his shirt. “Brother, Sister Shen is here.”
“What?” Su Mingfeng had yet to figure out what was going on when his servant ran over and said, “Young Master, a girl is looking for you at the entrance of the mansion.”
As soon as the servant said that, Su Mingfeng was stunned for a moment before looking at Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing looked at him with a faint smile. Su Mingfeng cleared his throat and said, “Nonsense! I don’t know any girls.”
