Watching the girl frantically fastening her belt, Xie Jingrun coughed lightly, concealing the disappointment in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I'd like to ask you, why are you only coming back so late?" He had waited so long for nothing.
Rong Qingqing's lips twitched slightly. "Your Highness should be busy with state affairs, why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Xie Jingrun raised an eyebrow. "To me, you're no big deal."
Rong Qingqing choked, staring at him with a somewhat unspeakable expression.
Xie Jingrun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly walked towards her.
Rong Qingqing was startled. In her nervousness, her movements to tie the belt became even more chaotic, and she couldn't tie it properly no matter what she did.
"Don't come any closer!" she shouted angrily.
However, the man's tall figure had already loomed over them.
Before she could react, the man's long, slender fingers had already pulled her belt and carefully fastened it for her.
Rong Qingqing's breath hitched. When she came to her senses, she was about to push him away, but he politely took a step back.
"How stupid! He can't even tie a belt properly."
Rong Qingqing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard what he said, and her pretty face immediately darkened. "Who doesn't know how to tie it?"
Xie Jingrun frowned, then suddenly said, "You smell of alcohol. Have you been drinking?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing quickly raised her sleeve and sniffed, but there was no smell. What kind of nose does he have?
"I didn't drink much," she muttered to herself.
"You reek of alcohol, and you still say you haven't drunk much?" Xie Jingrun took another step back in disgust.
Upon seeing this, Rong Qingqing's heart stirred slightly. Did this guy dislike alcohol?
Thinking it over, she tentatively took a step forward, and sure enough, Xie Jingrun took a step back.
"It's getting late, I'll head back now." Xie Jingrun turned around decisively and walked towards the window. Then, remembering something, he added, "Don't drink again next time."
Rong Qingqing's lips twitched slightly. "It's none of your business!"
Xie Jingrun's temple throbbed. He was about to turn back, but then, remembering the smell of alcohol on her, he changed his mind. He frowned and threatened, "If I ever see you drinking again, I'll..."
Rong Qingqing crossed her arms and asked leisurely, "How is it?"
Xie Jingrun blurted out, "I'll spank you!" But as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. His handsome face felt hot and had a suspicious blush.
Rong Qingqing blinked, and seeing the man's awkward expression, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she rushed over and pushed him hard.
Xie Jingrun had already stepped one leg out of the window when, unexpectedly, she rushed over and pushed him.
"Bang!" He fell out of the window.
Upon seeing this, Rong Qingqing quickly closed the window and then ran to lock the door securely.
Xie Jingrun, who got up from the ground: "..."
Looking at the tightly closed window, he left with a dark expression.
That brat, I'll teach her a lesson tomorrow!
Seeing that there was no movement outside, Rong Qingqing guessed that Xie Jingrun should have left, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
That guy was always interfering in her affairs. She thought that leaving the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion would free her from him, but who knew he would come to the Prince of Su's mansion again.
If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think she's easy to bully!
The next morning, Xiao Zhen set off to return to Suzhou.
Before leaving, he left behind several of his capable bodyguards to protect Rong Qingqing and ensure her safety.
After finishing his business, seeing that it was still early and considering that Rong Qingqing might still be sleeping, he didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the mansion, Rong Qingqing was already there, leading a horse and waiting for him.
It seems they've been waiting for quite some time.
Upon seeing his daughter, Xiao Zhen's previously somber expression softened instantly. "Why are you up?"
"I'd like to see you off," Rong Qingqing said with a smile.
