Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing's eyelashes trembled, and she felt a little flustered.

The storybook tells of the female protagonist who, after changing her identity, marries the male protagonist.

Why would Xie Jingrun say that?

Just as she was lost in thought, a shadow suddenly loomed over her. She was startled, and before she could react, the man had already leaned down and braced himself against her side with one hand.

His fresh and pleasant scent wafted into her nostrils, and she suddenly felt a little dizzy.

She blinked, staring blankly at the man's handsome face as he drew closer.

Seeing the girl's absent-minded look, Xie Jingrun curled his lips and reached under her pillow to rummage around.

After a moment, he waved the storybook in front of her, saying, "I'll return it to you after you've finished reading it."

Staring at the storybook in his hand, Rong Qingqing finally came to her senses. Her expression changed, and she immediately refused, "No..." She reached out to snatch it.

Xie Jingrun had already gotten up and walked towards the window.

"Xie Jingrun!" Rong Qingqing called out softly, about to rush over and grab it, but the man was too fast and had already darted out of the window.

Watching the man's figure disappear outside the window, Rong Qingqing beat her chest and stamped her feet, extremely annoyed.

I really don't understand how a grown man could enjoy reading storybooks.

Thinking about some of the ridiculous plots in the storybooks made her feel terrible.

Xie Jingrun clearly thought she was fantasizing about him.

Ahhh!

She felt like she was going crazy.

The windows must be sealed shut tomorrow.

The next day.

As soon as Rong Qingqing got up, she asked Xiao Tao to find someone to seal the windows in the room.

Upon hearing that the windows were to be sealed, Xiao Tao couldn't help but glance at her young mistress again.

Could it be that the Marquis climbed through the window again last night?

"Aren't you going yet?" Rong Qingqing noticed her gaze and felt a little embarrassed. She urged her with a stern face.

"I'll go right away." Xiao Tao wasn't afraid of her at all, and agreed with a smile, then turned and left.

When Xie Jingrun returned from the palace, he saw the carpenter coming from the direction of Qinfang Garden. He paused and glanced at Changlin.

Changlin understood and immediately went over to ask a few questions.

A moment later, he turned back and glanced at his master with a strange expression.

"What does a carpenter do?" Xie Jingrun asked, though he already knew something in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, Changlin said, "Reporting to Master, the carpenter was found by the old lady."

"What are you doing?" Xie Jingrun asked in a deep voice, his hand gripping the hilt of the knife.

Changlin glanced at his face before saying, "The old lady had the carpenter seal up the windows in the room."

After saying that, he held his breath, not daring to look at his master's face.

The old lady's intention was quite obvious. By sealing off the windows, she was preventing her master from going into her room again.

What Changlin could think of, Xie Jingrun naturally thought of as well.

His expression turned somewhat unpleasant, followed by a cold laugh.

That brat Rong Qingqing, does she think that by sealing the windows, he can no longer enter her room?

Just then, Rong Qingqing walked over with Xiao Tao.

Upon seeing her, Xie Jingrun's dark eyes narrowed slightly.

Rong Qingqing didn't expect to run into him. She paused for a moment, but quickly walked over with a normal expression.

“My Lord.” She nodded slightly to him, then continued walking out without stopping. But then, Xie Jingrun suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

She was startled. "What are you doing?"

Xie Jingrun stared at her coldly, "Where are you going?"

Rong Qingqing frowned, looked around in a panic, and only relaxed slightly when she saw that there was no one else. "I'm going back to the Rong family. You should let go now."
