A strange feeling spread through Wen Nongnong's heart. She suddenly hugged his waist playfully and pouted, saying, "Can you skip court today? Can you spend more time with me?"
Gu Linchao hadn't expected her to act this way. Looking at the girl throwing a tantrum in his arms, his heart melted. After a long while, he raised his hand to stroke her head and said gently, "No."
Wen Nongnong's eyes widened.
He spoke in such a gentle tone, yet he was refusing her, leaving her feeling quite lost.
Seeing the girl's wide eyes and the hint of grievance on her face, he immediately gave in. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Next time, I'll take you to Tunzhou."
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment.
He was so easily swayed by her, becoming without principles.
His brows furrowed.
Wen Nong Nong's face brightened, "Then Your Highness must keep your word."
"Hmm." Gu Linchao stood up, then suddenly said, "By the way, we found A-Tuo Jianghua, but something happened. She wants to see you."
"What?" Wen Nongnong was startled and, forgetting her infatuation, quickly jumped out of bed.
But she was restless in her sleep, and with all the commotion she had just caused, her clothes had come undone.
As she jumped, her clothes came undone, revealing a pink blouse underneath.
Gu Linchao's handsome face flushed. Seeing that she had only casually gathered her clothes before rushing out, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and scolded her in a stern voice, "Put your clothes on properly before you go out." As he spoke, he reached out to gather her clothes and then pulled the straps on both sides to tie them up for her.
Wen Nongnong was extremely anxious. She had already considered the worst-case scenario and was very worried about Atuo Jianghua. She couldn't help but urge her, "Oh dear, can you hurry up?"
Gu Linchao had never fastened a woman's clothes before, and her urging him made him flustered. Moreover, since the sash was to be tied under the armpits, in his haste, his fingers inevitably touched hers...
He pursed his lips, but fortunately Wen Nongnong was focused on Atuo and Jianghua and didn't notice.
Almost as soon as he finished tying her up, she rushed out in a great hurry.
Watching the girl run away, Gu Linchao tried to ignore the soft, sticky feeling his fingertips had just touched. He stood there for a while to calm himself down before leaving the house.
When Wen Nongnong rushed back to Chenxiang Courtyard, Atuo Jianghua had already bathed and washed up with the help of Lü Qiao, but she looked very lost and dejected.
Upon seeing Wen Nongnong return, she immediately got up and ran over.
“Nongnong, I…”
Seeing that apart from her pale complexion, Wen Nongnong was in good spirits, she felt a little relieved and reached out to hug her. "It's alright, it's alright, don't think too much about it."
When Lü Qiao saw her return, she quickly closed the door and left.
With no one else in the room, Atuo Jianghua finally relaxed.
Wen Nongnong pulled her to sit down on the couch, poured her a cup of hot water, and asked her to hold it.
Holding the warm cup in her hand, Atuo Jianghua's originally cool hand gradually warmed up.
She held the cup, took a sip of hot water, and then recounted her ordeal from the previous night.
The more Wen Nongnong listened, the heavier her heart became. At this point, she could no longer scold her for her recklessness. She frowned and said, "...So, you didn't even see what the other person looked like?"
A-Tuo Jiang Hua shook her head, "There was only one lamp lit in the room at the time, and it was very dark inside the bed curtains. In addition, things happened so suddenly and in such a chaotic way that I really didn't even see what the other person looked like..." She was extremely ashamed as she spoke.
