Seeing that Shangguan Yanran remained silent for a long time, Rong Qingqing thought of Xie Jingrun, who liked to climb through her window, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
She quickly grabbed the dress and put it on.
After getting dressed, she rushed out without even drying her hair.
When she saw the man sitting leisurely on the soft couch, reading a storybook, she was completely taken aback. She quickly looked around but didn't see Shangguan Yanran. She immediately frowned and asked, "Xie Jingrun, what did you do to Yanran?"
Xie Jingrun lifted his gaze from the storybook and placed it on her wet hair. His brows furrowed, and he suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
Seeing his unfriendly expression, Rong Qingqing quickly ran towards the door.
Unfortunately, she only took one step before the man grabbed her wrist, and with a slight pull, she fell into his arms.
The man's clean, refreshing scent instantly enveloped her. Before she could react, a cloth was suddenly placed over her head.
Immediately afterwards, the man grabbed the cloth and began to wipe her down with rather ungentle movements.
Rong Qingqing was startled and looked up to see the man looking disgusted, but his movements gradually became gentler.
"I can do it myself." She snapped out of her daze, frowned, grabbed a corner of the cloth, and tried to pull it down.
However, as soon as she tugged, she was tapped on the back of her hand.
She felt the pain and had no choice but to let go.
Looking at the domineering man, she had no choice but to give up. "By the way, where did you take Yanran?"
Xie Jingrun scooped up her soft, long hair and dried it. Hearing this, he said casually, "Of course she went back to where she should go."
Rong Qingqing was taken aback. "You had someone send her back to the Prime Minister's residence?"
"Mm," Xie Jingrun responded.
Rong Qingqing looked at him with a complicated expression, "How could you do this? Yanran wanted to watch the sunset with me tonight."
Xie Jingrun said unhappily, "Is she homeless or has no bed to sleep in? Why should she sleep with you?"
Rong Qingqing choked, looking at the man's gloomy face, and said unconvinced, "Because Yanran and I are good friends. If we sleep together, we can talk all night long." Someone like him, who is a loner and has no friends, would not understand friendship.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jingrun's expression turned even more unpleasant.
"You still want to have a long talk with her all night?"
Rong Qingqing frowned and couldn't help but say, "Why do you care so much about me?" He even interferes when she drinks, and he even tries to stop her from being with Yanran.
Is this guy really that free?
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and, seeing her sullen expression, softened his tone, "Your father came to see me before he went to Suzhou."
Rong Qingqing looked at him suspiciously, "What does my father want with you?"
"He was worried about you being alone in the capital and asked me to take good care of you," Xie Jingrun said calmly.
Rong Qingqing didn't believe that her father would ask him for such a favor, because there was no reason at all.
Xie Jingrun didn't care that she didn't believe him, and simply said, "Your father approves of me."
Rong Qingqing looked at him, completely bewildered. "Acknowledge what about you?"
Xie Jingrun touched her hair, and seeing that it was almost dry, he draped the cloth over the back of the chair, then lifted her face, looking down at her intently, "What do you think?"
Rong Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. She slapped his hand away, turned her head, and avoided his gaze. "How would I know?"
"Don't you know?" Xie Jingrun murmured. "You'll find out later."
