The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

"Of course, I want to get in touch with him and get to know him."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Chu Suifeng looked at her with a subtle look.

Rong Heqing: “?”

What do you mean, kid?

Why does this look like he's looking at some indecent playboy?

Chu Suifeng hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but couldn't hold it back.

He whispered, "Why are you so curious about him?"

"You're not—falling for him, are you?"

Rong Heqing: "...No, what are you imagining? Am I someone who only looks at faces?"

Chu Suifeng shook his head.

Rong Heqing looked relieved.

"So you asked me to investigate his background, and when you couldn't find out anything, you asked me to keep an eye on his movements so that you could notify you, and then you could go and contact him again."

Chu Suifeng repeated in a sarcastic tone everything Rong Heqing had told him to do. If one had listened to it alone, there would have been nothing wrong with it, but after he said it, Rong Heqing also felt that something seemed a little strange.

This time it was her turn to be silent.

Chu Suifeng pulled his lower lip and sneered, "But I already have a fiancée."

Rong Heqing said helplessly: "I really don't like him. Although he looks good, he is not my type. I checked him out for other reasons. It's hard to say now. You should calm down and stop letting your thoughts wander."

As she spoke she suddenly paused, and Qin Yunxian's face inexplicably flashed through her mind.

Xiao Chu's expression just now is somewhat similar to Qin Yunxian's at the gate of the Sun Palace?

Rong Heqing suddenly realized, could it be that he had misunderstood that day as well?

No wonder he specifically mentioned that Liang Changjin had a fiancée.

She slapped her forehead in annoyance. She didn't think about it that way at all and was focused on completing the task, so she didn't realize that there was anything wrong with her behavior. But from an observer's perspective, she suddenly saw a good-looking man and started to check his background. When she couldn't find any, she followed him.

What is the difference between this and metamorphosis?

[It looks like there is no difference, host.] 999 gloats.

Ronghe Qingyin smiled sadly, [Do you have a work number? Is it 999? ]

999 is puzzled: [Why is the host asking this? ]

Rong Heqing: [Complain against you. ]

999: […]

[Hello, the system you called is out of service area. Please call again later, blah blah blah...]

Every time he couldn't win the argument, he would just play dead. Rong Heqing didn't bother to pay attention to it. He looked at Chu Suifeng seriously and said, "If you make up rumors about me again, I will deduct your monthly salary."

Chu Suifeng: "..."

He stared at her expressionlessly for a moment, then stood up and walked out.

Rong Heqing: “?”

"Why are you going?"

"make money."

Chu Suifeng threw down these two harsh words and left.

Rong Heqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So he's a money-grubber."

She sat on the couch and laughed for a while, but she couldn't laugh anymore when she thought of the mysterious Liang Changjin.

This person's evil thoughts are so high and his identity is so confusing, so his plans must be big.

I hope his evil thoughts have nothing to do with the Nine Clans Elimination Game.

When encountering difficulties, Rong Heqing slept very deeply. When he woke up the next day and saw the dark sky outside the bed curtains, he did not react for a moment and thought he woke up too early. He lay in bed for a while until he heard the sound of dripping water outside.

She got out of bed, opened the window, and was hit in the face by the damp vapor.

It's raining heavily outside.

It turned out that it wasn't that she got up early, it was just a rainy day.

Looking at the freshly washed green leaves in the yard, it seemed that the rain had been going on for quite some time.

She turned back to put on her clothes, tied her hair casually behind her, and went out in her wooden clogs to watch the rain.

Raindrops fell on the corridor one after another, like crystal beads that had broken off the string, sparkling and clear.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard looked brand new, and even on the cloudy day they glowed with a different kind of gorgeous brilliance.

She leaned against the pillars of the porch, stretched out her hands to catch a handful of cool summer rain, and hummed a few songs comfortably: "… memories are only a taste, and gains and losses will always repeat themselves (1)."

The lyrics and music are sad, but Yongheqing is in a peaceful state of mind.

She was humming when a green shadow suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor.

As the person got closer, Rong Heqing couldn't help but straighten up and asked in astonishment: "Wan Niang? How did you get into this state?"

As Wanniang walked, water dripped from her clothes, leaving a trail of water on the ground.

She looked like she had just been fished out of the river. Her black hair was wet and stuck to the side of her face, revealing a hideous burn, which made her face look pale and thin.

Hearing the voice, she raised her head and glanced at Rong Heqing. That glance made Rong Heqing's heart tighten.

It was as if the whole world had betrayed her, she had nowhere to go and no one to rely on.

But in the midst of despair, there is a glimmer of hope, which seems to be able to rekindle at any time, and yet it also seems as if it will be completely extinguished in the next moment.

She curled her lips and asked softly, "Am I disturbing the princess's leisure?"

"I was just enjoying the rain, why are you all wet? Go back and change your clothes!"

Rong Heqing walked towards her quickly, but Wanniang took a step back.

The clattering sound of wooden clogs suddenly stopped.

Rong Heqing looked at Wanniang in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Wanniang turned her head to look at the hazy rain in the yard, and her voice was as ethereal as smoke and clouds, "Princess, I'm leaving."

Rong Heqing wanted to ask her where she was going and why she was leaving.

But looking at this fragile yet tough stepmother, she suddenly couldn't ask anything.

The corridor was silent, and after a long while, it was Wanniang who came back to her senses first. She turned back and asked in a low and shy voice, "Princess, can you lend me a hundred taels of silver?"

Rong Heqing didn't ask her what she wanted the money for, she just asked, "Is one hundred taels enough?"

Wan Niang was startled, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her eyes turned red first. She pursed her lips and nodded.

Rong Heqing nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Wanzhu to send it to you later."

She tried to move forward again, and this time Wanniang did not retreat. She looked at Rong Heqing, and her beautiful eyes seemed to contain thousands of words and endless sadness, but she couldn't say them.

Rong Heqing patted her shoulder and said gently, "Have you made up your mind? When are you leaving?"

Wan Niang choked up and said, "Tomorrow."

"Okay, take care."

Rong Heqing withdrew his hand and looked at her calmly.

Wanniang nodded, said nothing, turned around and left quickly.

[Host, are you just letting her go like this? Without asking any more questions?]

[Nothing to ask, I think she said it at the beginning, why bother to expose her scars if she doesn't want to say it?] Ronghe sighed quietly, [Besides, our relationship is not that good. The most taboo thing for people to get along with each other is to talk about deep things when they are just friends. Help those who can be helped, and don't interfere with those who should not be interfered with.]

999 was shocked: [Hey? Host, you can still say such philosophical words? ]

Rong Heqing: [……]

[How do I report the system? I can’t stand it anymore. ]

999: [. ]

When Wanzhu came to deliver the meal, Rong Heqing gave her a hundred taels of silver and asked her to take it to her stepmother.

At this time, Rong Heqing still thought that Wanniang would finish her meal before leaving tomorrow, but she didn't expect that Wanniang left early the next morning before she got up.

Before leaving, he knelt down outside her door and kowtowed three times. Without saying a word, he left resolutely in the morning light.
