Chapter 1598: In Deep Trouble
It was a replica of the room that Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi used to live in, down to every detail. No one had ever entered the room except for Huo Yunshen himself.
Looking at the things inside, Jing Xi had a weird sense of familiarity.
It was as if she had seen the same room before.
But she could not remember when.
When she saw the half-knitted sweater that was on the bed, she walked over and picked it up as if she was possessed.
It was a sweater meant for a little child.
The weirdest part was when she touched the needle, she began to continue knitting the undone sweater.
But she couldn’t stop herself.
Since Jing Xi was too absorbed in what she was doing, she didn’t notice someone was closing in from behind.
Huo Yunshen was working busily when one of the servants told him that someone had entered the forbidden room.
The cleaning tray was the first thing that he noticed when he arrived in the room. He pushed the door open and saw a familiar back sitting on the bed, but he soon recovered from his daydreaming and knew that the person was Jin Xiaoxi.
He was furious.
Jin Xiaoxi had broken a rule that could never be forgiven.
“Who let you in?” Huo Yunshen asked coldly.
The cold voice woke Jing Xi up from what she was doing unintentionally and she stopped moving.
Huo Yunshen became even more furious when he noticed the sweater in Jin Xiaoxi’s hands.
“How dare you touch her things!” Huo Yunshen scolded as he snatched the sweater and the needle away from her.
Jing Xi was utterly stunned. Huo Yunshen’s eyes were cold but Jing Xi knew that under it was a rage that she had never felt before.
“My… my liege…”
Jing Xi knew that she was in deep trouble.
“How dare you!”
Huo Yunshen grabbed Jing Xi’s wrist and pulled her up before slamming her towards the wardrobe.
“Didn’t they warn you not to enter this room?” Huo Yunshen questioned.
“They did… but…”
The pressure from Huo Yunshen was so intense that Jing Xi found it hard to breathe.
She could’ve explained, but her mind was blank.
“And you still did it on purpose? Do you have a death wish?”
Huo Yunshen grabbed Jing Xi’s neck and pushed her head upward.
“It’s… It’s Manager Yao… She…” Jing Xi tried to explain, but words could not come out from her mouth.
Yet, the king still had his hand on her neck.
She wanted to struggle, but she knew better than to do so.
Huo Yunshen was incredibly angry, so angry that he could’ve killed the woman in front of him right away.
