She suddenly felt dizzy and saw stars.
"Young Miss—"
Tao'er's anxious voice pulled her back to reality.
Only then did she realize that she was on horseback. The first thing she saw was a long leg encased in dark blue trousers, and her head was resting on the kneecap of that leg.
No wonder she felt like she bumped into something hard; it turned out to be this person's kneecap.
Isn't it too hard?
Her forehead must be covered in bumps.
She rubbed her sore head and slowly raised it.
The first thing you see is the man's perfectly refined jawline, and then upwards, his thin, sensual lips...
Rong Qingqing paused for a moment, then her gaze moved upwards and landed on the man's handsome face, which was as smooth as jade.
She was surprised when she saw two suspicious blushes floating on the man's handsome face.
Unexpectedly, the person who saved me was quite innocent.
Was he blushing because he was lying on his lap?
Thinking of this, a playful glint flashed in her eyes.
The other person looks quite young and good-looking, definitely a heartthrob.
Should she take the opportunity to keep him as a mistress?
Anyway, she has money now; she can easily buy a house outside and keep a mistress there...
"Rong Qingqing, how long are you going to keep lying there? Get down from here right now!"
A cold, restrained voice suddenly boomed overhead, startling all her romantic thoughts away.
She looked up blankly and met the man's eyes, which were as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool.
Xie Jingrun?!
Her eyes widened, she looked like she'd seen a ghost, and she shuddered so badly that she tumbled off the horse.
"Young Miss?" Tao'er rushed over, helped her up from the ground, and brushed the dust off the corner of her robe.
Rong Qingqing's heart was pounding, and she wished she could disappear on the spot.
Good heavens, how could she be so foolish as to want to keep Xie Jingrun as a mistress?
She's insane!
Oh no, she's blind.
How could she possibly see Xie Jingrun as a young, handsome man she could keep?
Although Xie Jingrun is handsome, he is like a poisonous flower covered in thorns, the kind that kills anyone who touches him.
She was deeply afraid that she had just had that thought.
Sitting on his horse, Xie Jingrun looked at the dejected woman and couldn't help but recall the scene from earlier, a hint of unease flashing across his handsome face.
This woman...
He suddenly dropped the reins, took a long stride, and dismounted.
Rong Qingqing hung her head, still reflecting on her reckless thoughts. Suddenly, a pair of black boots appeared in her line of sight. She was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to look up, she heard Xie Jingrun's clear and cold voice, "Rong Qingqing, have you done something wrong?"
Rong Qingqing was startled when she heard this.
Did Xie Jingrun know what she was thinking?
She quickly dismissed the idea; it was impossible. If Xie Jingrun knew what she was thinking, he would definitely chop her up with a single blow and wouldn't waste any words on her.
Thinking of this, she calmly raised her head, a harmless smile on her face, "Why do you say that, Lord Marquis?"
Xie Jingrun gripped the hilt of the Embroidered Spring Blade in one hand, narrowed his eyes, and gave her a brief, indifferent look. "You give me the impression that you've done something wrong."
"Your Excellency misunderstands. What wrong could I possibly have done? Oh, and I haven't thanked you for saving me earlier yet. Thank you, Your Excellency." Rong Qingqing smiled amiably and acted sincerely, but inwardly she was cursing Xie Jingrun for being the worst person she had ever met when it came to saving people.
That's incredibly rude!
Her forehead still hurts.
