The carriage moved slowly, and he left only after it disappeared from Lin Xi's sight.
On the other hand, Su Chaoge was still strolling leisurely.
“Ouch, that hurts!”
Suddenly, Su Chaoge screamed. She felt as if she was hit by a huge force and her body involuntarily fell to the side.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a strong arm quickly reached out and tightly hugged her waist.
"Are you okay, girl?" A deep and concerned voice reached Su Chaoge's ears. She slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on the man in front of her.
The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extremely handsome, with a gentle smile on his lips.
His attire was clearly unusual, a splendid robe. Seeing this, Su Chaoge secretly speculated: This person must have a certain status in Xingchen Country? Perhaps he was the son of a wealthy family or a powerful figure...
Su Chaoge lowered his eyes slightly, trying to make his voice sound a little tearful. "Thank you for saving my life, sir. I was really scared just now. If you hadn't helped me, I would have been hurt."
As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red, and she seemed to be really frightened.
Su Chaoge's head rested on the man's strong and broad chest, and her body involuntarily shrank into his arms, as if she was completely unaware of how close they were.
"Girl, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Rong Jingyuan's eyes flickered. He naturally saw through the little thoughts of the woman in his arms, but did not expose it.
Although Su Chaoge is not as pretty as Su Jinge, she is also a rare beauty. At this moment, she throws herself tenderly into the man's arms, and her pitiful appearance makes people feel pity and love for her.
Especially today, she dressed up carefully, which added a lot of color to her appearance. She was like a gorgeous flower blooming in front of everyone, which made people look at her sideways.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Su Chaoge's back, again and again, with extremely gentle movements, as if he was comforting a frightened little animal.
Su Chaoge finally came to her senses. She abruptly left Rong Jingyuan's warm embrace and said with some stammering, "Sir, I was really scared just now. I hope you don't mind."
Her cheeks were flushed red, like ripe apples, and she looked shy and charming. There was a hint of spring in her eyes, which was almost captivating, but she didn't dare to look the man in the eye.
She caught a glimpse of Rong Jingyuan staring at her out of the corner of her eye, and a feeling of pride welled up in her heart.
However, when she thought of Su Jinge's stunning beauty, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
If Su Jinge no longer existed, then everyone's attention would be focused on him.
Thinking of this, Su Chaoge's heart was filled with jealousy and resentment.
And all these changes were keenly captured by Rong Jingyuan.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "Miss, it's okay, as long as you are safe and sound."
His voice was still as gentle as a spring breeze, bringing joy to the ears. But behind this calm tone, there seemed to be a hidden meaning that was difficult to fathom.
Su Chaoge instantly regained his innocent and harmless appearance, "Then I'll treat you to a meal, thank you for saving me."
"Okay, I can't refuse what the beauty said."
Rong Jingyuan chatted with Su Chaoge in a casual manner, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He came out to discuss something with his staff today and stood by the window to enjoy the breeze. He didn't expect to see such an interesting scene just now.
Su Chaoge deliberately let go and sent people to separate Su Jinge and her maid. He saw it all clearly.
