Seeing the man's handsome face flushed red from the spiciness, his forehead sweating, and his eyes seemingly spitting fire, Rong Qingqing nonchalantly picked up a piece of beef, calmly took a bite, and then commented, "The spiciness of this beef is just right. Any more and it would be too spicy, any less and the flavor wouldn't be enough."
Moreover, the meat was tender, which meant the cooking time was perfect; it wasn't tough at all, it was so delicious. The chefs at Wangchunlou are getting better and better.” With that, he picked up another piece of beef.
Hearing what the girl said, Xie Jingrun's handsome face turned from red to black, his eyes narrowed, and after finally swallowing the beef, his eyes were already misty, with a touch of decadent color at the corners of his eyes, from the spiciness.
He quickly poured himself a glass of water and drank it down to dilute the spiciness in his mouth.
Rong Qingqing paused in her act of biting into the beef, staring blankly at his current appearance.
Coming to her senses, she swallowed the beef, silently looked away, and dared not look again.
Xie Jingrun's appearance at this moment was so alluring it was almost criminal!
Just as she was lost in her fantasies, the man's accusing voice rang out, "Why didn't you remind me just now?"
Perhaps because of the spiciness, his voice became somewhat low and hoarse.
Rong Qingqing said innocently, "I saw how much you wanted to eat it, and for a moment I forgot that you can't eat spicy food."
Xie Jingrun scoffed. How could she have forgotten? It was clearly intentional.
Seeing the girl's innocent expression, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her lips.
Rong Qingqing was caught off guard by his actions and stared in astonishment.
A hint of a smile flashed in Xie Jingrun's eyes as he placed his hand on the back of her head, wantonly plundering and savoring her flavor.
Rong Qingqing came to her senses and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
She just ate such strongly flavored food and hasn't even rinsed her mouth yet. Doesn't he mind?
After a while, Xie Jingrun released her, who was panting heavily. His gaze swept over her rosy, luscious lips, and his eyes darkened.
At this moment, Rong Qingqing's face was flushed red. Noticing the man's gaze, she clenched her handkerchief, lowered her head, and said, "I'm going out for a bit. You eat first." After saying that, she got up and ran out before Xie Jingrun could react.
Seeing the girl flee in panic, Xie Jingrun's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't stop her.
After leaving the private room, Rong Qingqing rushed up to the third floor in one breath.
The third floor was quiet, and she was all alone. Her wildly beating heart finally calmed down.
She touched her burning face, sat down on a chair by the window, and stared blankly at the bustling crowds on the street outside, resting her chin on her hand.
What happened today caught her somewhat off guard.
Emperor Zhaojing suddenly summoned her and said those words to her.
She could tell that at first, Emperor Zhaojing wanted her to back down and stay away from Xie Jingrun.
She herself hadn't expected that she would have the courage to argue with Emperor Zhaojing.
Her words had clearly angered Emperor Zhaojing. If Xie Jingrun hadn't arrived in time, would Emperor Zhaojing have ordered her head to be removed?
Now that she's calmed down and thought about it again, she broke out in a cold sweat.
What's even more unexpected is that Emperor Zhaojing's anger came quickly and went quickly.
Because of Xie Jingrun's arrival, Emperor Zhaojing not only did not punish her, but also tacitly approved of her marriage to Xie Jingrun.
Emperor Zhaojing truly loved Consort Li, and he also favored Xie Jingrun, the son of Consort Li.
While in the private room, Xie Jingrun didn't seem to say anything, but Emperor Zhaojing's anger vanished without a trace.
She let out a soft breath.
