From then on, Xiao Jingxi understood a truth: he could play tricks on anyone in the world, but not on the person he liked, because the results would be unpredictable. Although this time he just wanted to express his feelings in a more subtle way.
After hearing what Xiao Jingxi said, Ren Yaoqi finally understood. Sure enough, he had put the book there on purpose. Strangely, Ren Yaoqi didn't feel angry. She even found it a little funny. It was hard to imagine that someone like Xiao Jingxi would do such a childish thing.
But Ren Yaoqi couldn't laugh either, because the object of Xiao Jingxi's childishness was her.
Ren Yaoqi didn't know how to react. She wondered if it would be better for her to remain silent and pretend she hadn't heard anything. But when she turned around and accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Jingxi's expression, which seemed to hint at some disappointment, she couldn't help but speak. She whispered, "It's okay. I don't blame you."
Xiao Jingxi turned to look at her, serious and focused.
Ren Yaoqi also glanced at him, pursed her lips slightly, and looked away again.
At this time, Hongying came back and walked over to carefully put the cloak in her hand on Ren Yaoqi. The cloak was a little long and just covered her head and face.
When the cloak was put on and the familiar scent reached her nose, Ren Yaoqi realized belatedly that the cloak belonged to Xiao Jingxi. No wonder, the carriage belonged to Xiao Jingxi, and he couldn't always have women's things on hand.
The cloak had already been put on, and it would be pretentious to take it off, so Ren Yaoqi said nothing.
Because of the cloak, Ren Yaoqi was not cut by the thatch when he walked through it.
Xiao Jingxi's carriage was parked on the wider road outside. Ren Yaoqi took a look and felt that it was not the same two people who had been in the carriage before. When she got on the carriage, she saw that it was not the same one. Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise she would be embarrassed if the book was still there.
This carriage is not as exquisite as Xiao Jingxi's, but the cushions are very soft and comfortable.
Ren Yaoqi had just sat down when Xiao Jingxi came in.
In fact, Xiao Jingxi had come here on horseback before, and the carriage came with him after he left. There was only one such carriage.
Xiao Jingxi sat down opposite Ren Yaoqi and said, "Tongxi and the others have already left. I'll take you to Baihe Town. Don't worry, I won't show up."
Xiao Jingxi didn't dare let Ren Yaoqi go back alone in the Xiao family's carriage. Although the assassins were probably coming for him, if they were really going after him, they might not be able to get close to the carriage. The hidden guards around Xiao Jingxi were not vegetarians.
If he didn't show up, others would not know that Ren Yaoqi was sent back by a man. The carriages of the Yanbei Palace all looked similar in appearance, and the people of the Ren family would think that it was Xiao Jinglin's carriage that sent her back.
Ren Yaoqi said nothing. She couldn't just kick Xiao Jingxi out. This was his carriage, and Ren Yaoqi quietly took a look at Xiao Jingxi's physique. If she asked him to ride, what if he fell or got hurt? The Yanbei Palace wouldn't let her go.
Xiao Jingxi didn't know that he was secretly despised by his sweetheart. He had just found a spare ointment from the drawer and was about to hand it to Ren Yaoqi. When he looked up, he happened to see Ren Yaoqi's gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and smiled, "Nothing, are you cold?"
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
The two were silent for a moment. Xiao Jingxi watched Ping Guo apply medicine to Ren Yaoqi's wound and then retreat to the corner. He suddenly said, "I'm just poisoned, not sick."
