Ren Yaoqi frowned and said, "Oh? So he's so unbearable?"
Xiao Jinglin paused: "Not really..."
Xiao Jinglin was about to deny it, but then suddenly thought of something. She looked up at Ren Yaoqi, and sure enough, she saw Ren Yaoqi looking at her with a smile. Xiao Jinglin realized that Ren Yaoqi was joking with her, and couldn't help laughing.
She thought for a moment before she said seriously, "He has a thousand faults, but he's still better than most people in this world."
The reason why Xiao Jinglin turned a blind eye and let Xiao Jingxi take Ren Yaoqi to the ninth floor of the Echo Tower today might also be because of the principle of "keeping things within the family".
In Xiao Jinglin's eyes, there is no man in this world who is worthy of her Yaoqi. Only Xiao Jingxi, who knows her well, is acceptable.
Despite this, while Xiao Jingxi was taking Ren Yaoqi to the top of the tower, she sat outside waiting and couldn't help but feel like pulling the grass and biting the silly girl. Therefore, whenever she saw Xiao Jingxi, she couldn't help but feel disgusted and wanted to say something to him.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Every time the brother and sister got together, they would expose each other's shortcomings and sabotage each other, but in Xiao Jinglin's eyes, Xiao Jingxi was still "better than most people in the world."
Along the way, Xiao Jinglin didn't tell Ren Yaoqi about the Echo Tower, and Ren Yaoqi didn't ask, even though she kept wondering what Xiao Jingxi had said to her on the ninth floor. Since Xiao Jingxi had mentioned the Xiao family's rules, Ren Yaoqi didn't dare to ask Xiao Jinglin too much, even though she knew that if she asked, Xiao Jinglin would definitely tell her.
Before the carriages entered the Yunyang City gate, Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin's carriages slowed down, and the two carriages drove side by side. Suddenly, Ren Yaoqi heard a knock on the carriage wall outside. She immediately remembered that Xiao Jingxi had greeted her in the same way last time. She glanced at Xiao Jinglin and sat still.
There were three more knocks outside, neither hurried nor slow. Ren Yaoqi couldn't help blushing, feeling a little angry.
Xiao Jinglin stood up and quickly pulled open the car curtain, saying to the outside with a serious expression, "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop being such a sissy!"
The noise outside really stopped, and Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Jingxi's voice rang out after a while: "You go into the city first. I still have some things to do."
"I'll send Yaoqi back, you can do whatever you need to do." Xiao Jinglin rolled his eyes secretly.
Xiao Jingxi paused and whispered, "Thank you!"
Xiao Jinglin was stunned for a while, and only reacted after her carriage had driven away for a while.
Thank you? She sent Yaoqi home. What should Xiao Jingxi say to thank you?
Xiao Jinglin tried every possible way to discredit Xiao Jingxi for the entire afternoon, but in the end, the Second Young Master Xiao's light-hearted thank you saved the situation. Princess Xiao was instantly depressed.
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Xiao Jinglin sent Ren Yaoqi back home before leaving. When she returned to the Yanbei Palace, she saw Xiao Jingxi's carriage. After thinking about it, she decided to go to Xiao Jingxi's Zhaoning Palace first.
After Xiao Jingxi came back, he was reading documents in the study. When he saw Xiao Jinglin coming in, he smiled and said, "Are you back?"
Xiao Jinglin snorted coldly and stood in front of him without saying a word.
Xiao Jingxi was not in a hurry. He asked Tong He to serve tea to Xiao Jinglin, and then he dealt with the urgent documents in his hand. When he finished, Xiao Jinglin was still standing there. She was looking at him with a curious look in her eyes.
