Zhao Cong didn't even have time to reach out and help her up. "There's no one else here, so there's no need for such a grand ceremony. Get up."
Lin Qingwan had already taken out the snacks and arranged them, and also poured hot tea.
She casually handed him a peach blossom pastry, only to find Zhao Cong's deep eyes fixed on her.
Her eyelashes fluttered. "The Crown Prince doesn't like peach blossom pastries?"
Just a second before she withdrew her hand, Zhao Cong suddenly took it, saying, "No."
"It's been a long time since anyone has delivered something to me this late."

Zhao Cong lowered his head and took a bite, realizing he had been bewitched. He hadn't tasted the peach blossom flavor, but rather the faint fragrance emanating from her. His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and fearing she might notice something, he turned his face slightly away.

Lin Qingwan blinked. Is her heart really that good?
But she remained rational and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will fulfill my duties and will not cause you any trouble."
A slight smile unconsciously crept into Zhao Cong's eyes.
"I will return as soon as possible. I'll leave Shen Xu for you."
