Xu Qi nodded slightly from behind, and the guard then agreed.
Before Lin Xihe returned to Mu Ruoyan's room, she saw a woman dressed in red enter Mu Ruoyan's room with two maids.
The woman had a graceful figure, her skirt swayed gently in the wind, and she walked with a cheerful gait. The joy on her face was like that of a young girl in love going to see her beloved.
“Miss Lin, please go back later. This is Princess Lingxi of Nanzhao.” Xu Qi appeared beside Lin Xihe at some point and said in a low voice.
Lin Xihe's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately thought of the little princess of Nanzhao that Gu Qinghuai had just mentioned.
This expert in using Gu poison is now so openly entering Mu Ruoyan's bedroom, their relationship must be more than just a secret affair.

I'll assume you're reluctant to come back.
Mu Ruoyan's lips curled up slightly, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.
"If I had known I would disturb you while you were with your sweetheart, I would have come back later." Lin Xihe gave a fake smile and replied without showing any weakness.
