"You and I are already engaged, which is different from ordinary people." Xiao Jingxi thought of the time when Ren Yaoqi saw him and Yan Ningshuang standing and talking together. He didn't know if Ren Yaoqi said that on purpose, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm and said it confidently.
The customs in northern Yan were more open than those in the south, and they were even more tolerant of engaged men and women. As long as they didn't do anything inappropriate and had maids and servants accompanying them, they didn't mind them meeting. Especially on days like the Shangsi Festival, the Flower Festival, and the Lantern Festival, they were allowed to travel together.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him with a half-smile, but did not refute him.
"I just wanted to go back to see you..." Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and suddenly muttered in a low voice, showing a bit of grievance and annoyance.
Ren Yaoqi was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but the unhappiness that had been stuck in her heart and that she had tried her best to ignore had dissipated a lot.
Xiao Jingxi took a step forward and stood closer to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi was about to step back, but Xiao Jingxi reached out and hugged her first.
Ren Yaoqi blushed, and after struggling for a bit, she was afraid that people outside would hear her movements, so she could only whisper, "Let me go!"
"Don't let go..." Xiao Jingxi's low and hoarse voice with a smile sounded softly in Ren Yaoqi's ears, making her heart tremble and her hands and feet suddenly became weak.
"I was just anxious to see you, so I couldn't avoid her for a moment. Please don't get angry with me for an irrelevant person, okay?" Xiao Jingxi whispered in Ren Yaoqi's ear.
The refreshing and pleasant scent of Xiao Jingxi surrounded Ren Yaoqi. Her heart was beating as if it was going to burst out of her chest, and even her head was filled with the "bang bang" sound. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed.
She tried to calm herself down, and was about to use all her strength to open him so that she could breathe smoothly, but she saw that the ears of Xiao Jingxi, who was holding her, turned a suspicious pink. She paused, and then found that Xiao Jingxi's heartbeat was also very rapid, even as fast as hers, although his face was still calm.
Ren Yaoqi wanted to laugh again. She sighed and said coldly, "Xiao Jingxi, if you don't let go, I'll be angry."
This was the first time she called Xiao Jingxi by his full name. Xiao Jingxi was stunned for a moment, then obediently let her go, but refused to take his eyes off her.
This time, Ren Yaoqi didn't avoid Xiao Jingxi's gaze. Instead, she looked at him seriously for a while. Only when she was sure that the Second Young Master Xiao was nervous under his calm appearance did she say seriously, "I'm not angry with you."
Xiao Jingxi looked at her without saying anything.
Ren Yaoqi sighed, then said, "Because I know that with your temperament, if you don't want to, Yan Ningshuang won't be able to get what she wants even if she uses the most drastic measures."
Yan Ningshuang didn't know, but Ren Yaoqi knew very well that if Xiao Jingxi really didn't want to marry Yan Ningshuang, and Yan Ningshuang was still plotting against him, Xiao Jingxi didn't mind letting her disappear from this world.
The aggrieved, lame, or domineering look that Xiao Jingxi just had was not the real him.
Although he would still be nervous and blush in front of her.
