Long Jingyu reached out and grabbed her, and Sang Jiang, who was falling backward, suddenly fell forward with a thud.

"Ouch~" She rubbed her nose, which was still sore from the impact, and couldn't help but poke Long Jingyu's chest twice with her little hand: "So hard!"

Long Jingyu: ……

He looked at Sang Jiang strangely, unsure of what to say for a moment. Ten seconds later, as if he had just thought of something, he looked at Sang Jiang and whispered, "You've touched other people's bodies too?"

"Huh?" Sang Jiang frowned, not understanding what he was talking about for a moment.

Long Jingyu's gaze shifted downwards, and Sang Jiang followed his gaze, only to find her small hands brazenly placed on Long Jingyu's chest. The instant her gaze shifted, her hands involuntarily grabbed his chest twice.

"Ah!" Sang Jiang jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pulling her hand away. She turned around, her face flushed, and said in a serious but nonsensical tone, "No, that's not it. In our area, this is a way of greeting people. Only people who respect you the most would do this."

After saying that, she muttered to herself, "Yes, that's it!"

Hearing her words, Long Jingyu was stunned. The usually calm man suddenly felt his heart skip a beat: "The person I respect most?"

In the Eastern Chen Kingdom, the most respected people for a woman are generally her father and her husband, so Sang Jiang's words are...

"Yes." Sang Jiang nodded, then turned to look at Long Jingyu with utmost seriousness: "You saved me once, so in my heart you are the most respectable person. If you need anything in the future, just ask, and I will definitely do it if it's within my power!"

Long Jingyu chuckled. He was a little surprised by Sang Jiang's answer. It turned out that she didn't mean that at all. But it was alright. He would just take it slow and steady, so as not to scare the young girl.

Sang Jiang was naturally unaware of his thoughts. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Long Jingyu seemed to believe what she had said.

The two didn't return until it was already dark.

Sang Jiang was a little reluctant to leave, but after a day she was too exhausted to continue shopping.

When she arrived at the entrance of Jinghe Palace, Sang Jiang waved to Long Jingyu and said, "Goodbye, good night."

She had become somewhat immune to Long Jingyu using his lightness skill to fly her around.

Long Jingyu frowned slightly and muttered softly, "Goodnight?"

Sang Jiang was too tired to pay attention to him and went straight to her room.

As soon as Sang Jiang pushed open the door, she was pulled inside by a force.

"Ouch~" Her nose bumped into something solid again, and when Sang Jiang looked up, she saw Long Jingchen looking at her with a displeased expression.

She rubbed her nose, rolled her eyes at him, and ignored him.

She was no longer surprised that Long Jingchen had suddenly appeared in her room.

She went straight to get her things and started washing up and taking her hair out.

Seeing that she had no intention of paying any attention to him, Long Jingchen couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "Where have you been?"

His tone was exactly like that of a husband catching his wife cheating.

Sang Jiang blinked, glanced at him through the mirror, and said softly, "Does this humble woman have to report every little detail to Your Majesty?"

"Hmph." Long Jingchen snorted coldly, "I saw it all."

"Huh?" Sang Jiang was a little confused: "What did I see?"

"Why did Long Jingyu bring you back?!" He blurted out the question almost without thinking, and then he froze.

Sang Jiang was also stunned. She looked at Long Jingchen with her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed...
