Hua Yin said fiercely, "Yes, if I can't be by my cousin's side, I'd rather die."
Upon hearing this, Madam Hua was greatly shocked. Her face darkened, and she remained silent for a long while.
Hua Yin realized that her words were too harsh and had hurt her, so she quickly tried to make amends: "What I mean is that I have always been frail and sickly, and this is how my life will be. I don't have any other wishes, but my cousin has always been my idol..." After saying that, she coughed softly.
Upon seeing this, Madam Hua's expression softened.
Her words about being frail and sickly touched her deeply, making her reluctant to even utter a harsh word to her.
"I understand, but don't be too discouraged, there will always be opportunities."
"I know, I'll wait patiently," Hua Yin said obediently, nestled in her arms.
Madam Hua patted her on the back, lost in thought.
...
At this moment, Rong Qingqing and Xie Jingrun had already left the Hua Mansion and boarded a carriage.
As soon as he sat down on the horse, Xie Jingrun put his arm around Rong Qingqing and made her sit on his lap, looking at her scrutinizingly.
What happened today?
"What? What happened?" Rong Qingqing blinked, looking completely innocent.
Xie Jingrun pinched her soft cheek. "In the Hua family, wasn't it you who was at odds with your maternal grandmother?"
Rong Qingqing brushed his hand away. "What confrontation? I didn't. I was just reminding her not to worry about things she shouldn't be thinking about." Then, her tone shifted, becoming displeased. "But you, always flirting with everyone. Today it's your cousin, tomorrow will some older cousin appear?"
Xie Jingrun frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Rong Qingqing leaned closer to him, squinting her eyes, and said, "To be honest, are you secretly pleased that your cousin is thinking about you?"
"Rong Qingqing, how come I never noticed before that you were such a jealous person?" Xie Jingrun was not angry at all, but rather somewhat pleased. Looking at the beautiful face so close to his eyes, he captured her lips and gently bit them. "Jealous?"
Rong Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Who's jealous? I'm not."
Xie Jingrun was utterly captivated by her appearance, and without a word, his cold lips pressed down, sealing hers.
Rong Qingqing was overwhelmed and almost surrendered, but she still remembered that this was a carriage. She quickly pressed down his mischievous hands, panting and angrily saying, "Take it easy!"
Fortunately, Xie Jingrun didn't really intend to do anything in the carriage. He responded with a soft "Mmm" and then put his arm around her without making any further moves.
Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at his handsome face, and couldn't help but think of Old Madam Hua and Hua Yin.
Actually, she could sense the hostility the two men harbored towards her, though it wasn't obvious. But a woman's intuition can sometimes be very accurate.
Madam Hua dislikes her, and Hua Yin also sees her as a rival in love.
It seems unlikely that the two of them will give up on Xie Jingrun.
Judging from today's situation, there will likely be further actions.
After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Huayin is not young anymore, why don't you arrange a marriage for her?"
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and asked, "Are you still bothered by her?"
Rong Qingqing didn't deny it, "Yes."
Xie Jingrun stared at her for a while, then suddenly chuckled softly, "Jealous bastard."
Rong Qingqing glared at him gloomily, pushed his hand away, and sat down to the side, somewhat annoyed.
Seeing this, Xie Jingrun quickly pulled her back into his arms, saying with a mix of affection and helplessness, "Don't be angry. I will arrange a marriage for her, marrying her off far away so she won't get in your way."
Rong Qingqing was finally satisfied and kissed him on the lips. "Good boy, this is your reward!"
