"If people knew that I was in the same car as Miss Xie, I'm sure..."
"You mean reputation? It's fine, I don't care about that."
"No woman in the world is indifferent to her reputation, yet you don't seem to mind?" Xuan Yuan Du's face showed obvious probing.
Xie Lingqin took a book from the side of the carriage and tossed it to him. "The woman you're talking about is one who has been well-versed in these things since childhood. Unfortunately, I am not one."
Xuanyuan looked at the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" in his hand, and after a moment, he smiled. His thick eyebrows, which were as deep as iron strokes, became more and more imposing, and he looked dashing and carefree. "You are really different. If no one marries you in the future, you can marry me."
This was clearly a joke. Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow. "This..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Lingqin felt a chill as if it had penetrated the carriage wall and invaded her.
this……
Xie Lingqin suddenly lifted the curtain and looked outside. There was nothing there except for the vendors coming and going and shouting.
“It’s alright, let’s continue…” Xie Lingqin’s turning motion froze halfway through.
Because Xuan Yuan Du, who was clearly sitting opposite her just now, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, sitting there was Crown Prince Yuwen Yao, whose icy yet alluring face was filled with discontent.
"Where did you take Xuanyuan Du?" Xie Lingqin was most concerned about this, and asked with a questioning look.
"Who are you talking to with that accusatory tone?"
"Could there be a third person in this carriage?"
"Xie Lingqin, do you think I'm dead?"
Xie Lingqin was about to be driven crazy by the Crown Prince. She pressed her temples and said, "Your Highness, am I talking to a dead man right now?"
"Thank you! Ling! Qin!"
"I heard you. I'm telling you, get Xuanyuan Du out of here right now, don't let the innocent get involved."
"Hmph, if he were capable, he would naturally be fine."
"You!" Xie Lingqin nodded towards the outside of the carriage. "Okay... Tridacna, stop the carriage." Then, Xie Lingqin slipped off the carriage and looked at Tridacna. "I think the Crown Prince seems to like our carriage quite a bit. Why don't you let him ride in it for a while longer?"
Tridacna...
Can anyone tell her what happened and how it got involved with the Crown Prince?
Just as Tridacna was about to turn around, the curtain was lifted, the prince appeared briefly, and then disappeared. When she turned around again, her young mistress was gone too.
The giant clam looked ahead at the street with a bewildered expression.
Fortunately, the house was facing away from the main street, so no one could see her...
...
Xie Lingqin was dragged by the Crown Prince to a secluded spot under the eaves.
The two were two steps apart.
"Yuwen Yao, are you out of your mind? If you want to play around, go find your Li Qingyu. What do you want with me? Quick, hand over Xuan Yuan Du."
“Xuanyuan Du, you pronounce it so fluently, even though you’ve only known him for a few days.”
“I said, Your Highness, fate has nothing to do with how long you’ve known each other. He’s a good person.”
"Fate? A good person?" Yuwen Yao's expression darkened as he looked at Xie Lingqin's flushed face, which was flushed with anger. "So Xuan Yuan Du is your fate? And a particularly good person at that?"
"Yes, he's quite a gentleman. I'm telling you, as a man, Your Highness, you should really learn from him."
"Is that so?" Yuwen Xian suddenly took two steps forward, so close that Xie Lingqin could see the first eyelash on the Crown Prince's face.
And then there are those deep, dark pools, with pupils that seem to draw you in...
"Yuwen Yao, if you dare take a step forward, I'll yell that you've assaulted me." Xie Lingqin felt a little uneasy.
After all, no matter how eloquent she is, she can't beat the person in front of her. If she gets angry and is killed on the spot, it would be a huge loss.
Damn it, yes, why couldn't she have just held back a little longer?
"What are you calling me? You are my person."
"Here, I'm giving the dagger back to you, but you don't want it..."
"You think that once you've returned the dagger, we're even?"
"Could it be that you've taken a fancy to me, Your Highness, by pressing me so hard? How ridiculous!" Xie Lingqin sneered through gritted teeth.
The prince was too close; she could hardly breathe.
Moreover, he was so much taller, and she had to crane her neck to avoid being outdone, which was really tiring.
"You've taken a fancy to me?" A smile suddenly flashed across Yuwen Yao's lips as his breath hit Xie Lingqin's face. "Yes, I've taken a fancy to you. So what?"
"Huh?" Xie Lingqin was suddenly stunned. Looking into the deep, dark eyes of the Crown Prince, she was speechless with surprise. "Uh..."
The two stopped arguing, and suddenly the surroundings became quiet.
A breeze blew by, the light was warm, and the rustling of clothes made a soft sound, not noisy, but it made the surroundings even quieter.
The girl had a cool and aloof air about her. Her forehead was smooth as jade, her thick eyelashes were as fine as feathers, and her small mouth was rosy red, like the flowers in a peach grove, shimmering with beauty. Sunlight cast circles on her face, and the soft downy hairs entered her eyes, so gentle that they seemed to touch her heart.
Just a little touch can cause ripples in the still lake, sending a shiver down one's spine.
Yuwen Yao's already dark eyes were even darker, and his deep-set eyes were even deeper.
"Xie Lingqin..."
"Mmm...uh..."
Xie Lingqin's lips, which were about to open, were suddenly covered by a cold sensation.
The sound paused, as if everything on earth had become both near and far.
Xie Lingqin felt her mind suddenly go blank, as if some intangible voice was grabbing and pulling at her soul, or as if it was being placed very gently.
What the heck is this?
Is the Crown Prince kissing her?
Did their lips touch?
This is a clear, subtle, and masculine scent.
Those long, dark, flawless eyelashes, those deep, soulful eyes…
