She was startled and turned her head to look, only to see Fu Rongchen walking over at some point, a smile on his lips.
Shangguan Yanran immediately quieted down, her previous cheerful demeanor vanishing, and whispered, "Brother Rong Chen."
"Why aren't you going in yet?" Fu Rongchen asked.
"Oh, let's go in now." Shangguan Yanran seemed to just realize what was happening, and pulled Rong Qingqing and Feng Xin into Ganlin Palace.
Watching the girl rush inside in a panic, Fu Rongchen smiled and chuckled. Why does this girl always look so flustered whenever she sees him?
Upon entering Ganlin Palace, Shangguan Yanran found a corner spot and sat down with Rong Qingqing. Seeing this, Feng Xin abandoned her idea of sitting in the front and squeezed herself next to Rong Qingqing. Then she said with a grin, "Shangguan Yanran, who was that person just now? Why did you act like a mouse seeing a cat when you saw him?"
Shangguan Yanran looked a little uncomfortable, but she stubbornly said, "Why are you acting like mice seeing a cat? I only pulled you in because everyone else had already entered the hall."
Rong Qingqing laughed, "You two seem to know each other quite well, why aren't you introducing us?" Then, mimicking her earlier mannerisms, she said in a high-pitched voice, "Brother Rong Chen..."
Shangguan Yanran rubbed her arms. "Can you stop being so mushy?"
Rong Qingqing shrugged and said dismissively, "Is this all cheesy? But what you were doing just now was way more cheesy than what I'm doing."
Feng Xin immediately chimed in, "That's right, Shangguan Yanran, I really didn't expect you to be so mushy."
Shangguan Yanran: "..."
"How dare you say that to me? How did you address Xie Jingrun before?"
Feng Xin looked a little embarrassed. "Never mind, it's too crowded here. I'll go back to my seat." With that, she hurriedly got up and left.
With her gone, the space definitely became much more spacious.
However, Rong Qingqing did not let Shangguan Yanran off the hook. "Tell me honestly, who is this Brother Rong Chen just now? He actually made our Yanran show the shyness of a young girl."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shangguan Yanran blushed and quickly covered her mouth. "Where did I show any girlish shyness?"
Rong Qingqing blinked, pulled her hand away, and said, "Brother Rong Chen..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
She stared in astonishment at Xie Jingrun, who had somehow appeared in front of their desk.
A shadow seemed to fall over the man's face as he stared intently at her.
Rong Qingqing came to her senses, swallowed hard, and felt especially uncomfortable thinking about how silly she had been just now, having been seen by him.
Why is this guy so persistent?
Why is he sitting here instead of in his crown prince's seat?
The spot that Shangguan Yanran chose was blocked by a large pillar, so people outside couldn't see it at all, which is why she and Shangguan Yanran dared to laugh and joke so unrestrainedly.
But she didn't expect Xie Jingrun to come over suddenly.
Suppressing a laugh, Shangguan Yanran asked, "Does Your Highness have any instructions?"
Xie Jingrun didn't even look at her. Instead, he leaned over, picked up the wine pot from the table, and left with a gloomy face.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
Shangguan Yanran snapped out of her daze, nudged her arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "His Highness the Crown Prince arrived just in time. It seems he's jealous. But why did he take the wine pot?"
Rong Qingqing's face turned green when she recalled Xie Jingrun's warning a few days ago that she was not allowed to drink alcohol.
That jerk, he's such a busybody!
