Xie Jingrun curled the corners of his lips, rested his elbow on the table, and extended his hand to him, "Let's begin."
"I apologize for offending you," Guo Luolin said, shaking his hand.
A new round of arm-wrestling has begun.
Cheers and applause rang out again from all around.
Standing beside Xiao Zhen, Rong Qingqing couldn't help but be moved by the cheers of the crowd.
"Go for it!" she shouted.
Xie Jingrun looked up and saw that her gaze was fixed on Guo Luolin. A shadow crossed his eyes, and he slightly tightened his wrist.
"Bang!"
The surrounding sounds abruptly ceased, as everyone stared in disbelief at Guo Luolin, who had been slammed onto the table.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
She could tell that Guo Luolin was a scholar and not very strong, but after hearing him refuse Xie Jingrun's offer, she thought he was at least a man of principle. She assumed he wouldn't lose too badly, but she was wrong...
Guo Ziyi was not surprised and said with a smile, "A scholar is useless, Guo Luolin. This is the consequence of your refusal to learn martial arts. However, losing to the Crown Prince is not too bad."
Upon hearing this, Guo Luolin awkwardly climbed up from the stone table. Seeing Rong Qingqing staring at him in astonishment, his handsome face was almost as red as a shrimp.
"I...I will definitely exercise more when I get back," he suddenly said.
Rong Qingqing was somewhat surprised to see that he was looking at her when he spoke, but she still said, "Exercise is a good thing, it's good for your health, Young Master Guo, keep it up."
Upon hearing this, Guo Luolin smiled broadly on his handsome face and nodded emphatically, "Mm."
Rong Qingqing wasn't familiar with him after all. Just as she was about to walk away, a shadow suddenly loomed over her from behind. Before she could see clearly, her wrist was suddenly tightened, and a force pulled her to the side.
Guo Luolin stared blankly at the two people walking away.
Guo Ziyi was equally surprised. It took him a long time to come to his senses. He looked at Xiao Zhen and saw that he was not very surprised. He immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
It turns out that Luo Fu has already been labeled.
Therefore, he no longer needed to mention his original intention to propose marriage to Xiao Zhen.
Seeing his son's slightly disappointed expression, he couldn't help but feel glad that his son hadn't fallen too deep into it yet; otherwise, how would his son have coped?
Xiao Zhen looked in the direction where Xie Jingrun and Rong Qingqing had disappeared, his eyes filled with displeasure.
Although he had long known Xie Jingrun's feelings for his daughter, had he considered Qingqing's reputation when he so openly took her away?
If he doesn't give himself an explanation, even if he is the crown prince, he cannot easily marry his daughter to him!
"Why are you pulling me?" Rong Qingqing came to her senses and pushed Xie Jingrun's hand away forcefully.
Xie Jingrun glanced at her unhappily, "Rong Qingqing, did I ever say that you're not allowed to flirt with any men other than me?"
Rong Qingqing glared at him angrily, "When did I ever flirt with other men?"
"Still trying to deny it?" Xie Jingrun stopped and pushed her against a tree trunk behind him. "What's going on between you and Guo Luolin?"
Rong Qingqing stared at him in astonishment, "I'm not even familiar with him, what could it be?"
Xie Jingrun pursed his thin lips and glared at him angrily, "Then why do people keep staring at you?"
Rong Qingqing frowned, looking at his unhappy expression, and suddenly raised an eyebrow, "That must be because I'm good-looking. What can I do if my eyes are on someone else's face?"
Xie Jingrun: "..."
His lips twitched suspiciously, and he uttered a single sentence: "You have a really thick skin!"
