Su Qing smiled wickedly and moved closer to Su Xiaoning. The two were so close that they could clearly hear each other's breathing.
To be honest, Su Qinghe was quite handsome. After all, he was Su Qingcai's brother, and he was not much less so, deserving the description of "handsome and dashing." But unlike when she was facing Su Qingcai, Su Xiaoning felt uncomfortable and restless as soon as she saw Su Qinghe's face.
The atmosphere inside the room was unusual. Su Qinghe was about to continue persuading Su Xiaoning when a knock sounded on the door, and a soft female voice entered his ears.
"Your Highness, I heard that you invited someone to your residence today. Is this person an old friend of mine? I wonder if I could also meet him?"
Why is Qin Yunyun here?
Su Qinghe frowned, about to refuse, when Qin Yunyun suddenly pushed open the door with a "bang" and rushed in.
At that moment, Su Qinghe and Su Xiaoning were still in a rather ambiguous position. Qin Yunyun's eyes widened when she saw this, and she no longer cared about pretending in front of Su Qinghe. She was furious and grabbed Su Xiaoning's arm, trying to drag her away.
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoning's arm suddenly became hot, so hot that her palm hurt and she couldn't hold on at all.
"You... what's going on?" Qin Yunyun stared at Su Xiaoning's arm in disbelief. Suddenly remembering her koi fish mark, she immediately tore open Su Xiaoning's sleeve without thinking. What she saw was the bright red koi fish mark.
The koi fish imprint is vibrant and eye-catching, and looks much more sophisticated than it did at the beginning.
"I never thought this thing could transform... Su Xiaoning, how did you do that!" Qin Yunyun stared intently at Su Xiaoning, her eyes red with anger.
Su Xiaoning never expected to run into Qin Yunyun under these circumstances. She pushed Qin Yunyun away, her expression icy, and said, "Don't touch me."
Qin Yunyun was pushed and stumbled. Seeing that Su Qinghe remained unmoved, she became furious and blurted out something reckless.
"Don't touch you? Don't you know who you are! I didn't expect that pretty boy to be the Ninth Prince. You're so proud of yourself for hooking up with him, aren't you? Too bad, he'd rather hold a public selection of concubines than marry you! And you're still putting on an act here!"
"Who's pretending here?" Su Xiaoning looked at Qin Yunyun with a half-smile. "Yes, she doesn't want to marry me, but the Seventh Prince does! Look at you, you're so pathetic. You've become someone's concubine and you still have to worry about who he wants to marry. Do you really think you're so noble?"
After saying that, Su Xiaoning withdrew her gaze and stood up.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Seventh Prince. It's getting late, and I should head back. As for what you mentioned, let's discuss it another time. I won't disturb you while you're wooing your wife."
She walked straight out of the palace without looking back.
Su Qinghe wanted to leave a good impression on Su Xiaoning, so he refrained from stopping her. After Su Xiaoning left, he glared fiercely at Qin Yunyun.
"Look what you've done! Do you think I can't see through your jealous little schemes? I'm on important business right now, can't you even restrain yourself? You're such a jealous woman!"
"I...I..." Qin Yunyun burst into tears. She shouldn't have argued with Su Qinghe in front of him, so she suppressed her grievances and apologized, "Your Highness, I'm sorry. I heard you might be taking Su Xiaoning as your concubine, and I got angry and ran over. It was my oversight that I delayed your business; I won't do it again..."
"You want a next time?" Su Qinghe's eyes flashed with a chilling light. "You'd better stay put and stop ruining my plans, or you can forget about staying in the Prince's mansion!"
Su Qinghe yelled at Qin Yunyun without any politeness, and left after reprimanding her, offering no comfort whatsoever to the crying Qin Yunyun.
Qin Yunyun cried for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
It seems Su Qinghe has truly fallen for Su Xiaoning. And Su Xiaoning and she have always been at odds. If Su Xiaoning were to enter the manor, wouldn't her good days be over? No, she must discuss with her father how to deal with this vile woman!
Qin Yunyun wiped away her tears and hurriedly ran out to find Qin Sang. The two whispered and discussed for a while, and then came up with another insidious plan.
...
Meanwhile, after leaving the manor, Su Xiaoning lost her way on the unfamiliar streets outside the palace. She wandered around for quite a while before finally reaching a familiar street, where she immediately spotted a familiar figure.
"Young Master Jiang! What are you doing here?" Su Xiaoning waved to Jiang Lin, who was standing on the street.
Jiang Lin turned around and, upon seeing Su Xiaoning, hurriedly ran to her. He tugged at his uniform and said with a smile, "The security in the capital hasn't been very good these past few days. My father asked me to help patrol the streets, and I just finished. It's been so long since I've seen Miss Su!"
"Didn't we just meet a few days ago?" Su Xiaoning tilted her head and smiled, thinking to herself that the young man looked alright in his uniform.
Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow. "A day apart feels like three autumns. It's been quite a while since Miss Su and I last met. By the way, Miss Su left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have a chance to thank you for curing my poison. How about I treat you to a meal this time?"
"Okay." While at Su Qinghe's residence, Su Xiaoning didn't dare touch any food, but now that she was starving, she readily agreed.
The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing, towards a nearby restaurant. The handsome man and beautiful woman were very eye-catching in the crowd, and everyone who saw them thought they were a perfect match.
As they entered the restaurant, they didn't even notice that Su Qingcai was standing not far from them, looking gloomy.
After Ding Yi and Bing Er lost track of the person, they reported to Su Qingcai. Su Qingcai was worried, so she went out to look for them herself. She had just reached this street when she bumped into Su Xiaoning and Jiang Lin together!
Seeing the two so intimate, Su Qingcai was furious and simply followed them, asking for the private room next to theirs and sneaking in to sit down.
Su Qingcai sat quietly in his seat, not touching the food in front of him, only concerned with listening to the sounds coming from next door.
Su Xiaoning seemed to be having a great time, and it was unclear what she and Jiang Lin were talking about. Her laughter could be clearly heard in Su Qingcai's room.
Su Qingcai forcibly restrained himself from going to the next room to drag them all out, thinking that no matter what Su Xiaoning said, he would take her back after she finished eating. He finally convinced himself to calm down and was about to pick up his chopsticks when he suddenly heard a soft cry.
"ah!"
Su Xiaoning's voice came from next door, followed by a rather loud noise, with the sound of clothes rustling against each other, which sounded quite ambiguous.
In an instant, all sorts of exciting scenes flashed through Su Qingcai's mind. Su Qingcai's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately dropped his chopsticks and rushed to the next room!
