Seeing the woman's frustrated expression, Xie Jingrun's lips curled slightly.
Upon returning to the Marquis's residence, Xie Jingrun immediately had someone fetch a basin of water as soon as he entered.
Rong Qingqing was about to make an excuse to leave when Xie Jingrun's gaze suddenly swept over and locked onto her.
Just as I was wondering what kind of trouble he was up to this time, I heard him say, "Come here."
"Does Your Excellency have any orders?" She remained standing.
Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes, then suddenly stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and put it into the basin of water.
Rong Qingqing was taken aback when he suddenly grabbed her hand. She paused for a moment, then, realizing what he meant, asked suspiciously, "Why is Your Excellency meddling in my handwashing?"
"Stop talking nonsense, just wash it." As Xie Jingrun spoke, he suddenly rolled up her right sleeve.
Without the sleeves to cover it, a section of snow-white, smooth wrist was immediately revealed.
He narrowed his eyes, immediately released his grip, and looked away, but didn't forget to give the order, "It's dirty outside, and it might have gotten dirty with something. You need to wash it carefully, and don't miss your wrists either."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing felt a strange sensation.
Has this guy lost his mind? Or is he just too bored?
But since the service was so attentive, and she had just returned from outside and was about to wash her hands, she didn't want to refuse him.
Ten slender, beautiful fingers, like tiny tubes, were immersed in the water and slowly rubbed and washed.
Hearing the sound of water, Xie Jingrun turned to look and saw a woman's beautiful fingers scooping up water droplets in the clear basin, like playful sprites dancing in the water.
He paused for a moment, and was about to turn around when suddenly, a "splat" sound rang out, and his face was instantly splashed with water.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized what had happened. With his face covered in water, he glared at Rong Qingqing and said through gritted teeth, "Rong Qingqing, look what you've done!"
Rong Qingqing continued splashing the water. Seeing this, she felt a pang of guilt and hurriedly shook her wet hands, reaching into her bosom for a handkerchief. She said in a flustered voice, "My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
However, when she shook her hand, the water droplets on her hand splashed onto Xie Jingrun's face again.
A vein throbbed on his forehead as he suppressed his anger. "Rong Qingqing, do you want to die?"
"I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to. Let me wipe it for you." Rong Qingqing frantically reached for her handkerchief, but perhaps because she was too flustered, the handkerchief fell into the basin of water as soon as she took it out and immediately got soaked.
Rong Qingqing looked at Xie Jingrun sheepishly, "I was going to help you wipe it, but the handkerchief got wet..."
Seeing this scene, Xie Jingrun's handsome face was filled with gloom.
How could he not know what this woman was thinking?
She didn't want to wipe it herself, but he insisted that she do it.
Thinking of this, his expression softened, and he said almost gently, "It doesn't matter if it's wet, just wring it out."
Rong Qingqing looked like she'd seen a ghost.
Was Xie Jingrun so angry that he was being so gentle?
She frowned almost imperceptibly, and could only obediently pick up the handkerchief and wring it dry.
Looking at the man's exquisitely handsome face, she bit her lip, simply stuffed the handkerchief into his hand, and then quickly said, "Your Excellency is too tall, I can't reach it. Please trouble yourself to wipe it. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." With that, she didn't give Xie Jingrun a chance to speak and turned to run away quickly.
Xie Jingrun narrowed his long, narrow eyes as he watched the woman disappear in a flash.
This woman is indeed cunning!
