The next day, thinking about returning to the capital, Rong Qingqing woke up at daybreak.
She turned her head, just as she was about to check if Xie Jingrun was awake, when a kiss suddenly landed on her.
Rong Qingqing, panting, quickly pushed him away, "Stop fooling around, we're leaving soon..."
Xie Jingrun said in a hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter if we leave a little later."
Rong Qingqing quickly poured cold water on him, "My father is still waiting for us. How can you keep him waiting?" Even if he had the nerve, she didn't.
Xie Jingrun eventually pressed her down and kissed her for a while before letting her go.
After getting ready, the two went out and headed towards the front yard.
Xiao Zhen was indeed waiting for the two of them. When he saw them approaching, his gaze lingered on Xie Jingrun's face for a moment before he coughed lightly and said calmly, "Let's go."
Xie Jingrun noticed this and asked Rong Qingqing beside him, "Why is my father-in-law looking at me so strangely?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing looked at him in surprise, "Don't you remember what happened last night?"
"What did I do last night?" Xie Jingrun had a bad feeling.
Seeing that he really didn't remember, Rong Qingqing blinked and said seriously, "You were drunk and acting crazy last night."
"What?" Xie Jingrun frowned. "Impossible."
“Why is it impossible? It’s true, otherwise why would my father look at you like that?” Rong Qingqing said, suppressing a laugh.
Xie Jingrun paused, glanced at her, and said, "Rong Qingqing, are you asking for trouble?"
"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, go ask my father." After Rong Qingqing finished speaking, seeing that Xiao Zhen had already walked ahead, she coughed lightly and imitated Xie Jingrun's tone from last night, "Xiao Zhen, how dare you push me!"
Xie Jingrun: "..."
Seeing him choke, Rong Qingqing felt a little smug. "My father's face turned black at the time."
Xie Jingrun suddenly called out to Xiao Zhen in front of him, "Father-in-law!"
Xiao Zhen stopped in his tracks. "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun felt somewhat embarrassed. "I'm fine, it's Qingqing... uh!"
Before he could finish speaking, Rong Qingqing covered his mouth.
Xie Jingrun: "..."
Seeing this, Xiao Zhen paused, somewhat helplessly, pretended not to see it, and turned to continue walking forward.
Once everyone had walked away, Rong Qingqing let go of his hand, then glared at Xie Jingrun and said incredulously, "You weren't just trying to tell on me, were you?"
"Of course not." Xie Jingrun put his arm around her shoulder. "But isn't it a bit disrespectful of you to call your father by his given name?"
"I was just copying you," Rong Qingqing said sheepishly.
Xie Jingrun patted her shoulder, "I was drunk last night, but you weren't drunk just now."
Rong Qingqing: "..."
When they set off to return to the capital, Shangguan Yanran was having so much fun in Xuzhou that she didn't want to leave.
Fu Rongchen would occasionally accompany her, but when he didn't have time, she would go to bookstores or teahouses to listen to storytelling, and buy some local snacks, and the day would pass by by herself.
That day, she wandered around outside all day, buying many beautiful storybooks, picture books, and food.
She was flipping through a picture book while eating, and because she wasn't looking where she was going, she accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry..." she said, startled.
The other person was initially annoyed, but when they saw her raised face, a look of amazement flashed in their eyes. "It's alright."
Seeing that the other party was not pursuing the matter, Shangguan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to him, and walked past him to the front.
