The concern in his eyes seemed to see only the person in front of him.
After saying that, he went around to Ning Yin's back and was about to untie the red ribbon for her, but Ning Yin stood up directly.
How could Ning Yin remain calm when the most noble man in the world inexplicably wanted to dry her hair?
She quickly distanced herself from the two and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, you are of noble birth. This is something I should do myself. Besides, I have already finished bathing. May I return to the Imperial Hospital first?"
