Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun said nothing more and stepped into the house.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing did not follow them inside.
However, I wasn't quite sure what he was thinking.
He neither refused nor said he would like to have his meal in the front yard.
She shook her head and went back to the front yard first.
Looking at the table full of dishes, she thought to herself, "I'll wait a little longer. If Xie Jingrun doesn't come, then I'll just eat by myself."
She was a little bored, so she lay on the table and fiddled with the cup in front of her.
She had been busy all day and had cooked a whole table of dishes when she got home. She was exhausted. As she lay down, her eyelids started to droop, and she couldn't resist falling asleep.
When Xie Jingrun arrived, he saw this scene.
Beside the table laden with dishes, the woman lay asleep.
Under the lamplight, the woman's face was small and delicate, her skin fair, her lips small and red, and she slept soundly.
Seeing such a scene, a normal person would not have the heart to wake her up, but Xie Jingrun only paused for a moment before walking over and grabbing her by the back of her collar.
"Rong Qingqing!" His voice was tinged with displeasure. Was this woman trying to play him? Was this her sincerity?
Rong Qingqing, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly grabbed by the collar, and instantly felt short of breath, frowning.
Just as I was still a little confused, I heard Xie Jingrun's voice, and my drowsiness immediately vanished, and I became fully awake.
However, when she saw the man standing in front of her, she was still a little confused.
What are you doing here?
"Hmm?" Xie Jingrun's eyes flashed with danger. "It seems you're still not awake. Should I help you wake up?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing subconsciously looked at his waist.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the place was empty and the Embroidered Spring Knife was not there.
"How could I trouble you, my lord?" she said with a smile. "I waited for you for so long and you didn't come. I thought you weren't coming, so I accidentally fell asleep. Please forgive me. Please sit down, my lord, the food is getting cold."
As she spoke, she got up and removed the lids from the dishes one by one.
Fortunately, the weather isn't too cold yet, and some of the soups are still steaming when the lids are lifted.
"My lord, please have a bowl of soup first." She picked up the bowl and served him a bowl of soup with great care.
Xie Jingrun sat down and glanced at the soup in front of him. "There was no poison in it, was there?"
Rong Qingqing: "..."
"Your Excellency is joking. Even if I had the greatest courage in the world, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. I've been simmering this pigeon soup for a long time; it's very nourishing. Please try some." In just a moment, a smile returned to her face.
Seeing the woman's attentive actions, Xie Jingrun picked up the bowl and took a sip.
Rong Qingqing suddenly said, "Does the Marquis trust me that much?"
"Hmm?" Xie Jingrun stared at her dangerously.
Rong Qingqing said awkwardly, "My lord, please drink with confidence. I made it all myself. It's clean and delicious."
Xie Jingrun glanced at her. "Are you Granny Wang?"
"Huh?" Rong Qingqing looked at him, completely bewildered.
"Self-praise." Xie Jingrun's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Rong Qingqing was speechless.
She really couldn't understand Xie's humor.
She coughed lightly and said with a forced smile, "I won't charge you, so you can eat as much as you like, Your Excellency."
Xie Jingrun finished his soup and handed the bowl to her, "Serve some rice!"
Rong Qingqing glanced at him and was really annoyed to see him acting like a big shot. However, since he was a powerful figure, it didn't seem unreasonable for her to serve him rice.
