Although she wasn't a childless couple, Xie Jingrun's words made her feel much less apprehensive and exceptionally relaxed.
She sat in front of the dressing mirror, combed her long hair, applied some lotion, and then went to bed.
When Xie Jingrun returned, he saw her rolling around on the couch, laughing. He raised an eyebrow, walked over, and lightly patted her bottom. "What's making you so happy?"
Rong Qingqing turned around and looked at him with bright eyes.
Xie Jingrun was stunned for a moment, and his ears couldn't help but feel hot under her intense gaze.
He coughed lightly and sat down on the edge of the bed.
As soon as he sat down, a woman's soft body pressed against him from behind, her slender arms encircling his neck.
His body suddenly tensed up. Although he had been with her that afternoon, her sudden closeness still aroused the desire hidden deep within him.
Rong Qingqing was completely unaware that he had just finished bathing and had a fresh scent of algae on his body. She couldn't help but lean over and kiss him on the cheek, her voice sweet as she said, "It's nothing, I'm just suddenly very happy."
Xie Jingrun sensed her joyful mood, and the romantic thoughts that had just arisen suddenly dissipated.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, teasingly saying, "Seeing me so happy, you like me that much, huh?"
Rong Qingqing leaned against him, pressed her fingers against his heart, blinked her eyes, and said mischievously, "If you continue to be this good to me, I will like you."
Xie Jingrun gave her a deep look, then suddenly pressed her down on the couch, leaning over to pin her down, his fingers darting around, "How do you want me to treat you? Like this, or like that..."
Rong Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly grasped his fingers, "Don't tease me..."
"Then it's your turn to flirt with me." Xie Jingrun looked at her with a smile, and with a flick of his long fingers, he untied her sash.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing was so frightened that her legs trembled. She quickly pushed him away and said, "Stop fooling around. It's getting late. Go to sleep."
Xie Jingrun had only meant to tease her, but seeing her reaction, he gave up.

During the Liang Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival was an extremely important festival, similar to later periods, with customs such as eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and dragon boat racing.
As in previous years, the dragon boat race will be held in Nanyuan.
On this day, the emperor and empress led civil and military officials to Nanyuan to watch the dragon boat race.
Those who went along included civil and military officials, as well as their families. Everyone gathered in Nanyuan, making it a lively and bustling place.
Before the dragon boat race began, all the officials and their families flocked to Rong Qingqing to make their faces known and seek attention.
Rong Qingqing was quite annoyed, so she simply made an excuse to avoid them.
After finally finding a quiet place to sit down and talking with Shangguan Yanran for a while, an uninvited guest arrived.
The other party seemed not to have expected her to be there. Upon seeing Rong Qingqing, they paused for a moment, then turned and left.
Rong Qingqing didn't care, but Shangguan Yanran was very dissatisfied: "What kind of attitude is this? Not only does she not bow to you, but she also acts like that. Who spoiled her?"
She deliberately raised her voice a little, and Huayin, who had walked a short distance away, naturally heard her.
She sneered. Did Rong Qingqing even deserve to bow to her?
But when she recalled that no news of discord between the emperor and empress had come from the palace since she did that thing, her expression turned pale, and she felt very unwilling.
Could it be that the palace maid concealed this matter and did not tell Rong Qingqing?
Otherwise, Rong Qingqing would not have been without resentment.
Thinking of this, she suddenly turned back.
