The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

When we returned to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, it was already dawn.

Although Xu Rongrong ran back and forth that night, she did not look tired at all.

It's just her heart...

In order to conceal its presence, the carriage was parked in a corner of Jianghan Street, one alley away from the Marquis' Mansion.

There is a secret door there, and through it is the garden of the marquis's mansion.

Xu Rongrong got off the carriage in a daze.

Although Mu Ai reached out to help her in time, she still stepped on the hem of her skirt and staggered.

"Be careful, madam."

Xu Rongrong nodded randomly.

Just as she walked into the secret door, a familiar figure suddenly came into her sight.

Mu Rong stood there, holding a lantern in his hand.

Like a husband waiting for his wife who comes home late.

I don’t know how long I stood there.

He knew that Xu Rongrong had taken Wali to Pinyuefang. Although he had already made all the arrangements along the way, he couldn't help but feel anxious as time passed and he still didn't see her come back.

He stayed awake all night, guarding the secret door.

"I'm back." His voice was still as gentle as when he was facing Xu Rongrong, but his throat was hoarse, making the sound a little difficult.

Xu Rongrong stood there, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

On the way back, she kept thinking about how she should face him.

Should I pretend to be clueless, as I did in the past?

I am still grateful and willing to repay him with all my passion...

But no matter what it looks like.

Now standing in front of him, looking at him trying to suppress his discomfort with a look of worry on his face, all the plans I had made along the way disappeared at this moment.

She walked over slowly and took the lantern from his hand: "Something delayed me for a while. Now that you are well, why bother to stay here all the time?"

When she spoke and walked, she acted like an ordinary wife, nagging her troublesome husband.

But that slightly trembling voice betrayed her.

Mu Rong grabbed her wrist and said, "Rong Rong?"

Xu Rongrong paused and turned around.

The slightly red corners of the eyes seemed to be telling of endless struggle and grievance.

Mu Rong panicked: "What's wrong with you?"

He subconsciously exerted force with his hands to pull her into his arms.

This time, Xu Rongrong did not struggle. She dropped the lantern in her hand, put her arms around his waist, buried her head in his arms, and sobbed.

At first she was just sobbing quietly, but then for some unknown reason, her crying became louder and louder, and Mu Rong could already feel a wetness on his chest.

Mu Rong was really panicked. He hugged Xu Rongrong while glaring at Mu Ai who was not far away.

The latter was also stunned. He had been protecting the lady on the orders of the Marquis... and she had been fine all the way. Why was she crying like this now?

Could it be... that my head hurts too much? This shouldn't be the case!

Seeing his subordinate looking confused, Mu Rong knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he waved his hand and sent him away.

He himself gently patted the back of Xu Rongrong's hand, waiting for the girl in his arms to vent all her emotions.

The sound of an unknown bird was heard in the distance, and the girl nearby was tired of crying and finally stopped.

Xu Rongrong knew that she looked miserable now, so she just lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Throughout this life, whenever she faced Mu Rong, she first pretended to be dignified and calm, and later she actually became calm and collected. It was rare to see her lose her composure like she does now.

"Don't rub it randomly. Be careful not to get your eyes swollen. You must apply a good ointment when you go back." Mu Rong raised his hand to hold the handkerchief in her hand, and tried to lift her face with his other hand.

But Xu Rongrong raised her hand to block it: "Ugly..."

This short, shy word hit Mu Rong's heart unexpectedly.

It made his whole heart and chest feel numb.

He was stunned and couldn't believe what he saw.

Yesterday, she had just returned to her previous cold attitude, making it impossible for him to get close to her, but now...

What exactly happened that night?

"Let's go back to the room. I feel a little cold." Xu Rongrong interrupted his thoughts. She picked up the lantern on the ground again and illuminated the path under Mu Rong's feet.
