Feng Mo was stunned. Looking at the girl's resolute expression, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness. For the first time, he realized that she was already far away from him.
Because of his misjudgment, he lost the heart of a girl who originally liked him very much...
That feeling made him feel bittersweet, regretful, and... unwilling.
He was unwilling to give up. After realizing his own feelings, he was unwilling to let her go no matter what.
As he racked his brains trying to figure out how to win her back, he suddenly heard the girl's cheerful voice say, "Uncle Hong, see the guest out."
Upon hearing this voice, he couldn't help but look up at her.
Unlike before, she now had a relaxed expression on her face, as if she had let go of some burden, and was extremely carefree and happy.
His heart sank, and just as he was about to speak, he saw her turn and walk away.
However, she only took two steps before stopping.
His face lit up with joy, thinking that she still couldn't let go of her feelings for him after all. His expression relaxed, and he was about to walk over when he saw that the person entering through the door was not Steward Hong, but someone who should have been in the East Palace at this time.
He narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat annoyed at being disturbed.
Xie Jingrun walked in slowly, glaring at Rong Qingqing with a gloomy and displeased look.
Rong Qingqing was already frozen in place, staring in astonishment at the man who walked in.
What's this guy doing here?
He probably didn't hear what she just said, right?
She thought about it uncertainly.
Today, he was dressed only in his everyday clothes, a moon-white robe with wide sleeves.
Having shed the robes of the Imperial Guard and the Crown Prince, he exuded less of an imposing aura, appearing instead elegant and refined as he entered.
Of course, that's assuming you don't look at his gloomy eyes.
"Prince Xu is heading to Xuzhou tomorrow, so how come he has time to come to Prince Su's residence for tea? Or is it that the tea at Prince Su's residence is better?" Xie Jingrun withdrew his gaze from Rong Qingqing and looked at Feng Mo casually, but the sarcasm in his tone was undisguised.
Feng Mo's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he said sarcastically, "Although the Crown Prince is now the heir apparent, it seems that he still has no authority over me."
"Of course I have no say in your affairs, nor do I want to. But don't you think it's inappropriate for you to harass my woman? Prince Xu should have learned about etiquette and shame, right?" Xie Jingrun's eyes flashed with coldness.
As soon as he finished speaking, not only Feng Mo was shocked, but even Rong Qingqing stared at him in surprise.
What nonsense is Xie Jingrun spouting?
Who is his woman?
Seeing her so surprised, Feng Mo calmed down, knowing that Xie Jingrun must be talking nonsense.
Thinking of this, he frowned and said, "Although you are the Crown Prince, you should not slander a young lady's reputation. How can you talk such nonsense?"
Xie Jingrun glanced at him, then suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around Rong Qingqing's waist as if asserting his ownership. He turned to look at her and asked, "Last night, what you promised me, does it still stand?"
Rong Qingqing really disliked him hugging and cuddling her in front of others. Just as she was about to struggle, she met the man's serious eyes and nodded as if possessed. "Mm."
Xie Jingrun smiled, stared at her for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and patted her head. "Good girl!"
Rong Qingqing blushed and pinched his waist in annoyance.
Her sleeves were so wide that no one could see what she was doing.
However, Xie Jingrun was not prepared for her to suddenly pinch him, and his legs went weak, almost causing him to lose his balance.
A thin mist seemed to rise in his deep eyes, obscuring her vision.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
