Sure enough, Xie Jingrun looked at her meaningfully and said, "After a long day, even if you're not dirty, soaking in hot water will make you feel better. Besides, aren't your feet hurting?"
Rong Qingqing looked at him in surprise, "How did you know my foot hurt?"
Xie Jingrun did not explain how he knew, only saying, "It was just a simple bath, don't overthink it."
Rong Qingqing: "..."
When she saw the mockery in his eyes, she realized that he was just teasing her.
She stood up abruptly, about to say, "Let's go together, who's afraid of who?", when Xie Jingrun suddenly stopped smiling, patted her head, and said gently:
"You've worked hard today. Go wash up first, and I'll wash up after you're done." With that, he pulled her up and led her straight into the bathroom.
Standing in the steamy, clean room, Rong Qingqing was still somewhat dazed.
Xie Jingrun's composure was so unexpected that it made her... well, a little unaccustomed to it.
She bent down and began to undo her belt.
But after trying for a long time, I still couldn't solve it.
This wedding dress was made by the entire Imperial Wardrobe, working day and night, and through several groups of people. Although it is beautiful, it is also complicated and heavy.
It took her a full half hour to put on this wedding dress when she got up in the morning, and she only managed to get it on with the help of Shangguan Yanran and others.
At the time, her mind was in a daze, so she naturally didn't notice how she got into the wedding dress, and now taking it off was no easy task.
She tugged at it, but couldn't pull it off. After thinking for a moment, she finally steeled herself and went out to seek Xie Jingrun's help.
However, when she went out, Xie Jingrun was lying on the couch, still wearing his wedding robes, with his long legs draped over the edge of the bed...
She went closer and saw that his hand was pressed against his face. She wondered if he was asleep.
Just as she was hesitating whether to wake him, he suddenly lowered his hand and looked at her. "What's wrong?"
Rong Qingqing tugged at her wedding dress and said awkwardly, "Um, I can't get my monthly allowance..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun slowly sat up, squinted at her, and then walked towards her.
Seeing his handsome face flushed red, Rong Qingqing was puzzled when she suddenly remembered something, her beautiful eyes widening, "You...are you drunk?"
Xie Jingrun rubbed his temples and denied it, "No."
Although the nuptial wine wasn't too strong, it still had some effect on someone like him who didn't drink.
Besides, he drank a glass of it.
Rong Qingqing glanced at him knowingly. "Never mind, since you're drunk, go to sleep first. I'll have Xiao Tao come in and help me." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.
However, she had only taken one step when the man's burning hot hand grabbed her wrist.
Rong Qingqing trembled slightly from the heat of his hand and turned around in astonishment, "You..."
"Tonight is our wedding night, and you need to ask others for help to get your clothes ready? People will think I can't even get your clothes ready," Xie Jingrun said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing felt that what he said made sense, so she gave up the idea of asking Xiao Tao for help and explained, "I only wanted to ask someone else for help because I saw that you were a little drunk."
Xie Jingrun glanced at her, said nothing, lowered his head, and began to unbutton her wedding dress.
Rong Qingqing held her breath, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
Looking at the man's handsome face so close to hers, she felt inexplicably nervous.
