Xie Jingyi pushed Rong Qingqing away, "It's all your fault, talking nonsense, making Yiyi so anxious that she fainted."
"Yes, yes, I was talking nonsense, but I've already explained it all. Why is Yiyi so upset?" Rong Qingqing said helplessly.
Feng Mo's scrutinizing gaze fell on her again. Was she really just talking nonsense?
Just then, Xie Jingrun, dressed in brocade robes and a brocade sword at his waist, slowly walked in from outside.
Upon seeing him, Feng Mo narrowed his eyes.
Rong Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine and wished she could just disappear on the spot.
Compared to the male lead Feng Mo, Xie Jingrun gave her a more terrifying feeling.
Especially when she met his unfathomable, enigmatic eyes that seemed to be both smiling and not smiling, she felt even more uneasy, with a chill running down her spine.
I felt fear from the inside out.
But could that wolf cub have already returned and been watching the show from outside for ages?
If that's the case, then wouldn't he have seen my performance just now?
Thinking about this made her feel terrible.
She always felt as if Xie Jingrun had seen through everything about her.
This feeling is extremely unpleasant, like being stripped naked in public and stared at wantonly, which makes one feel humiliated.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Xie Jingrun cup his hands insincerely towards Feng Mo and say, "Third Prince, you are truly a rare guest!"
Feng Mo said calmly, "I apologize for coming uninvited, Commander Xie."
Xie Jingrun curled his lips into a knowing smile, "Is there anywhere in the world that the Third Prince cannot go? The Third Prince is too modest."
"Thank you for your kind words, Commander." Feng Mo glanced at him, her expression impeccable.
Listening to their back-and-forth conversation, Rong Qingqing subconsciously took a few steps back.
Although the two men were both good-looking and had strong presences, and each had their own unique charm and were very pleasing to the eye when they stood together, she had no mind to appreciate the beauty in front of her at this moment.
The two bosses met, and although there were no swords or spears, it still sent chills down one's spine.
At this moment, Xie Jingrun's gaze fell on her, his voice carrying a chill that seemed to emanate from his very bones, "What happened?"
Suppressing her fear, Rong Qingqing pointed to Rong Yiyi on the chair and said with feigned concern, "My sister came to visit me, but she got so emotional that she fainted." As she spoke, she peeked outside, her urgency evident, "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
"Did he faint?" Xie Jingrun asked calmly.
“Yes.” Rong Qingqing nodded, wondering why he was suddenly so concerned about Rong Yiyi. The next moment, she saw him walk towards Rong Yiyi. “That’s easy, why would we need to call a doctor?”
Looking at his posture, Rong Qingqing suddenly had a bad feeling.
In a flash, he suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and splashed it on Rong Yiyi's face.
"Smack!"
The tea was spilled onto Rong Yiyi's face without spilling a drop.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
Xie Jingyi: "..."
Feng Mo: "..."
Rong Yiyi clenched her fingers tightly inside her sleeve to keep from screaming and jumping up.
“In the imperial prison, countless prisoners faint every day because they can’t withstand the torture, thus escaping punishment. But if you pour a bucket of water on them, even the most severe torture will wake them up, and it will also clear their heads!” Xie Jingrun put down the empty cup in his hand, sat down in the chair, and slowly wiped his embroidered spring knife with a clean white cloth in his hand. His tone was slow and deliberate, as if he were talking about an ordinary little thing.
