Chu Tianling's health improved, and his previously thin body gradually gained some weight, making him more upright.

Thinking about how Jiao Jiao had been a bit distant towards him these past few days, and given the recent news that there seemed to be child traffickers in the city, he decided to deal with it personally once he got some information.

Moreover, this was the first time he had been separated from Jiaojiao since they met, and he looked at the still sleeping person with complicated feelings.

He wanted to see what would happen if he left Jiaojiao. Would he go back to the way he was before?

The most important question is whether Jiao Jiao cares about him even a little bit, and if she had the chance to leave, would she leave?

Even before leaving, he already missed her. Chu Tianling couldn't resist and kissed Shen Jiaojiao on the forehead before leaving.

"Take good care of the Crown Princess. If she wants to go out for a walk, don't stop her. Bring enough guards and make sure to protect her!" Chu Tianling instructed carefully.

"Tell her I've gone out on business and will try to come back as soon as possible, so she doesn't need to worry!" Chu Tianling said after taking a step and then thinking for a moment.

He had only taken two steps when he stopped again, looking at the person on the bed. He almost couldn't lift his feet, but reason prevailed.

"Fine, I'll go early and come back early." Seemingly having made up my mind, I turned and left decisively this time.

Spring flowers and grass stood guard at the door, and it was a long time before Chen Jiaojiao finally woke up.

I was a little surprised not to see Chu Tianling today.

Chunhua noticed her confusion and immediately explained what had happened that morning.

Shen Jiaojiao replied with a curt "Oh".

However, after being here for so many days, I'm tired of staying at the mansion, so it's good to go out for a stroll.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Shen Jiaojiao looked at Chunhua, who was still combing her hair, and said, "Chunhua, dress me up simply today, let's go out for a stroll!"

Hearing this, Chunhua couldn't help but feel happy, and her voice became a little lighter: "Yes, ma'am!"

Shen Jiaojiao smiled slightly. That's true. They're all just teenage girls. They'll get tired of staying in the same place every day.

On this trip, Shen Jiaojiao brought Chunhua and Chuncao with her. Both of them were brought from the Shen family and were used to using the same things.

Knowing she was going out, the steward arranged for four guards to protect her from behind.

Shen Jiaojiao made them all change into casual clothes and follow behind.

Stepping out of the Crown Prince's residence and into a carriage, Shen Jiaojiao got off at the street corner, wanting to slowly stroll around from the beginning.

In the city, the vibrant streets were indeed much more interesting. Shen Jiaojiao glanced at each stall, buying anything that caught her eye.

Suddenly, something happened ahead, and the crowd erupted in excitement.

Shen Jiaojiao, who was originally looking at the toys on the stall with Chunhua and the others, stopped looking and quickly stood up and walked over there.

Watching a spectacle is an instinct ingrained in everyone's bones. As Shen Jiaojiao stepped forward, the guards behind her also silently crowded around.

When they left, the Crown Princess told them to be discreet and not to be discovered by others, so they are all pretending not to know each other.

I finally squeezed into the crowd, and unexpectedly, I saw two familiar faces again.

Chen Baozhu, dressed in red, pinned the delicate Wang Haotian against the wall at the entrance of an inn and gave him a "wall slam"!

A crowd of onlookers, eager for a good show, cheered and watched with gleaming eyes. After all, these days, while men can pull off a show, it's quite rare to see a woman "kissing" a man!

At this moment, Wang Haotian's face turned completely red, filled with both shame and anger!

After being knocked unconscious by Chen Baozhu that day, he woke up in a clinic where his injuries were well taken care of. He did manage to attract her attention, but he really couldn't handle it!

This made him feel incredibly embarrassed in front of everyone.

Chen Baozhu watched as his beautiful face turned red, making him even more alluring, and she became even more interested in him.

She was annoyed by Chu Tianling that day, and later realized she had hit the wrong person. Although the other person was indeed quite good-looking, she had seen better ones and didn't care for this kind of plain food.

But when she saw the tears in the other person's eyes that day, she inexplicably felt a strange sense of excitement.

This feeling was something Chu Tianling didn't have, something she had never experienced in all her years of life.

Later, she also visited Wang Haotian at the clinic, where he was still recovering. That day, the doctor was changing his dressing. His upper body was completely naked, and red marks were grotesquely etched on his back against his fair skin. The old doctor casually applied the medicine, which must have hurt a little. Tears welled up on Wang Haotian's pale face. The scene was too shocking.

Chen Baozhu stood dumbfounded at the door; this was the first time she had ever seen a man's body.

She couldn't tell whether it was the tears on that face that were so alluring, or the bright red marks on that porcelain-white back that were more captivating.

Anyway, her heart was beating really fast at that moment.

In particular, when Wang Haotian spotted her standing at the door, his shy, blushing expression immediately touched her heart, and her eyes lit up.

She originally thought she liked strong men, but now she realizes she's never met this soft, puppy-like type before!

She later inquired further and found out that this person was this year's top scorer, which meant he was quite intelligent.

She has a father, mother, and two older sisters, but both of them are already married.

Wang Haotian now lives with his parents.

He wasn't engaged, and he was a clean person.

The biggest drawback is that the family is too poor, living in a dilapidated little courtyard.

However, none of these were problems for her. If they really got together in the future, she could just find a place in the dowry courtyard to live.

Chen Baozhu was born with a personality that dared to love and hate. Today, she happened to run into Wang Haotian, who was coming off duty. He was wearing a red court robe and was being pinned against the wall, looking at her shyly with wet eyes.

Chen Jiaojiao was so captivated that her blood was boiling!

"I love you! You can marry me or I can marry you, you choose!" Chen Jiaojiao said with an air of domineering confidence.

Wang Haotian had always been around delicate and gentle women, and now he was so ashamed and indignant that he mumbled in a low voice, "Shall we leave first?"

Chen Baozhu grabbed his collar with her left hand and pulled hard, pulling Wang Haotian down so his face was very close to hers, his eyes showing a hint of panic.

The streets were packed with people, and some people whistled at the sight of the lively scene.

And then there are people yelling, "Kiss him! Kiss him!"

Many people burst into laughter upon hearing the words "kiss him".

Wang Haotian's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed. Chen Baozhu, after being called out by the people around her, regained some of her rationality. This man was too tempting, and she almost couldn't resist making a move.

She released her left hand, took out a whip, and lashed it at the blushing Wang Haotian. The whip did not hurt him; it simply tied him up gently.

Then, Chen Baozhu swept the person up in her arms and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Suddenly, the scene erupted again.
