Xie Xun did not answer her question. "You're drooling."
"What?"
Qin Zheng subconsciously wiped the corner of her lips. She was drooling. However... the corner of her lips was dry, and there was no drool.
Xie Xun looked at her movements, and a dark light flashed across his clear black eyes. "Stop wiping. It's been so long, and your drool has evaporated."
Qin Zheng was really embarrassed and angry. It was one thing for her to fall asleep in front of Xie Xun, but she was actually drooling! Her image had been completely ruined!
Qin Zheng stood up awkwardly. "I need to go to the bathroom first." Ah!
After entering the bathroom, she washed her face with clean water and then tidied up her messy hair. After tidying up her image, she walked out with relief.
Qin Zheng sat on the sofa opposite Xie Xun and touched her ears in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself."
"I lied to you," Xie Xun suddenly said.
"Ah?" Qin Zheng was stunned.
Xie Xun's delicate and cold eyes looked at her without any emotion. His beautiful thin lips opened slightly. "I said you were drooling just now. I was lying to you."
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment. "Why did you lie to me about this?"
Xie Xun: "Because I was bored."
Qin Zheng: "..."
This explanation really left people speechless.
Xie Xun went straight to the point. "Why did you call me over?"
Qin Zheng looked at the man's handsome face, which was so handsome that no flaws could be found. "Wang Guolin asked me to have a talk today."
Hearing Wang Guolin's name, a deep light flashed across Xie Xun's dark eyes. He replied indifferently, "Is that so?"
Qin Zheng didn't see anything on his face, so she said, "He said that you killed Wang Quan and that your fingerprints were found at the scene..."
Xie Xun interrupted her. "So you suspect that I killed Wang Quan?"
Qin Zheng shook her head. "No, I know that you can't kill Wang Quan."
"You believe me?" Xie Xun sat up a little straighter.
Qin Zheng nodded. "Yes."
Hearing her answer, Xie Xun raised his head to look at her. When their eyes met, the man's pure black eyes seemed to be unable to penetrate into the depths of the sea of light, surging with a strange undercurrent. For some reason, every time she looked into Xie Xun's eyes for a long time, Qin Zheng felt an inexplicable palpitation in her heart.
At this moment, Xie Xun's cold voice sounded again. "What if I say that I'm the one who did this?"
Qin Zheng was stunned. She did not expect him to suddenly say this. "What?"
Xie Xun slowly stood up and stood against the light. His long figure blocked the light from the crystal lamp. His entire body was shrouded in shadows, and his handsome face was obscure. "What if I say that I really did kill Wang Quan?"
Qin Zheng's thick eyelashes trembled twice. A moment later, she raised her head and said word by word, "Then tell me the location of the corpse. I'll send someone to clean it up."
This answer was beyond Xie Xun's expectations. He thought that Qin Zheng would always say that she believed him and insisted that he was not the one who did this. However, he did not expect Qin Zheng to answer in this way.
He was wrong. Since this woman was able to stand firm in the Qin Corporation surrounded by wolves, how could she be a simple and innocent person?
Xie Xun looked at Qin Zheng with a deep gaze. His eyes, which had always been indifferent, carried a terrifying pressure. He looked at her from above. "You just said that you believed me, that you believed that I didn't kill Wang Quan. How come you don't believe me so soon?"
At this moment, Qin Zheng felt that her breathing was not smooth. After she slowly exhaled, she then stared into Xie Xun's eyes and explained, "My subjective judgment was not made by you, but there are times when my judgment is wrong. When I say that I believe you, I mean everything you said to me. I don't believe that you didn't do what you said this time."
What she meant was that as long as it was what he said, she would believe it.
Xie Xun's pupils suddenly constricted. There seemed to be a black fog surrounding his black pupils. His eyes moved slightly. This was the first time he looked at the woman in front of him carefully. Qin Zheng had been chasing him for a long time, and she often appeared in front of him to brush her presence. With such frequent contact, he naturally remembered what she looked like, but that was only on the level of his memories. He had never really seen or observed her.
Even if she confessed to him in public, shed all pretense of cordiality with her ex-fiancé for his sake, or even suffered for his sake, he was not the least bit moved or emotional.
Now that he had said that he had killed Wang Quan, she quickly accepted this statement and even wanted to help him destroy the evidence. This made Xie Xun interested in Qin Zheng for the first time, and he was a little confused.
