Xiao Jinxing headed towards the exterior of Ye Qichi’s tent.

From inside the tent came the sounds of laughter from Ye Qichi and Xie Ruotong.

Xiao Jinxing’s expression changed immediately.

This woman, truly heartless and carefree.

He hesitated for a moment, but still entered the tent.

Ye Qichi was on about ink painting with Xie Ruotong.

Her calligraphy was truly terrible, she wanted to improve it a bit.

Ended up being ridiculed by Xie Ruotong endlessly.

She even found her own work laughably bad, like the scrawls of a ghost.

The harmonious atmosphere between the two turned awkward the moment Xiao Jinxing entered.

Xie Ruotong hurriedly put down the brush and ink and stood up to greet, "Greetings, Prince."

Ye Qichi just glances at Xiao Jinxing and continued with her writing, paying him no heed.

Xiao Jinxing forcefully suppressed his anger.

Xiaowu quickly gave Xie Ruotong a meaningful look.

Xie Ruotong got the hint and followed Xiaowu out.

Only the two of them were left inside the tent.

"Is there something?" Ye Qichi asked indifferently while continuing her writing.

"You really are leisurely," Xiao Jinxing said, his words laced with sarcasm as he watched her calligraphy.

Ye Qichi could sense it.

She said nonchalantly, "If you want to thank me for having Bai Mowan dine with you, there’s no need, I always do good deeds without expecting anything in return."

"Ye Qichi, being too stubborn is not a good thing," Xiao Jinxing enunciated every word.

Ye Qichi frowned.

She didn’t know what Xiao Jinxing was talking about.

And didn’t want to know either.

Seeing Ye Qichi’s lack of response made Xiao Jinxing’s expression even uglier.

He turned to leave.

He really should not care about her emotions.

But just as he turned, he stopped again.

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing called out to her coldly.

"Hmm," Ye Qichi responded irritably.

If you’re leaving, then just go.

Leaving then coming back.

What on earth is he planning to do?!

"Bandage this for me," Xiao Jinxing ordered.

Ye Qichi looked up at Xiao Jinxing, "You’re injured?"

When did that happen?!

Xiao Jinxing held out his forefinger.

Ye Qichi looked at the bite marks she left on Xiao Jinxing’s finger and rolled her eyes.

Can you be any more delicate, Xiao Jinxing?!

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing clearly saw Ye Qichi’s irony.

"Got it," Ye Qichi replied.

She put down the brush and ink, stood up, and fetched her medical box.

Then she found some homemade antibiotic ointment and gauze.

"Sit down," Ye Qichi commanded Xiao Jinxing.

So tall and mighty, he thinks he’s something special.

Xiao Jinxing sat down reluctantly on the soft couch next to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi grabbed Xiao Jinxing’s finger.

Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.

His eyes flickered, watching Ye Qichi carefully applying the ointment to the wound.

It felt somewhat cool.

Xiao Jinxing’s heart stirred.

His gaze shifted from Ye Qichi’s hand to her face.

Ye Qichi really had an alluring face.

Her serious demeanor, while doing something utterly serious, inexplicably seemed a bit improper.

Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple moved slightly.

After bandaging, Ye Qichi looked up.

As she raised her head, her eyes met with Xiao Jinxing’s.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes, dark and deep.

It gave an illusion of vast starry skies.

It was somewhat mesmerizing.

Indeed.

The male lead is the male lead.

Indeed, a being who garners all love and adoration.

Even his breathing is charismatic.

Ye Qichi forced himself to look away.

He certainly couldn’t be seduced just because of a handsome man; his resolve wasn’t that weak.

Just as she was about to leave.

"Don’t move." Xiao Jinxing suddenly commanded.

Ye Qichi frowned.

A moment later.

He watched as Xiao Jinxing’s face came closer.

Getting closer and closer.

Ye Qichi suddenly remembered the last time Xiao Jinxing kissed her.

That time...

"Prince!" Suddenly, Xiao Wu’s voice came from the door.

The two faces that were close by instantly pulled apart.

Both of them seemed slightly awkward.

With a glance from Xiao Jinxing, Xiao Wu was almost scared to death.

Xiao Wu didn’t want to come in and disturb them.

But General Bai had unexpectedly arrived, he had to relay the message, right?!

"General Bai Bai Bai has arrived..." Xiao Wu stuttered in explanation.

Xiao Jinxing stood up from the couch.

Slowly, Bai Mowan’s voice was heard from the doorway, "I’m looking for Princess Chen."

At this moment, Ye Qichi’s heartbeat was still speeding up.

Upon hearing Bai Mowan’s voice, his face instantly changed.

It can’t be.

If Bai Mowan saw Xiao Jinxing alone in her room...

"What are you afraid of!" Xiao Jinxing also noticed Ye Qichi’s panic.

Feeling unexplainably irked.

"Afraid of Bai Mowan’s misunderstanding." Ye Qichi bluntly said.

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing spoke each word distinctly, "You are my Princess!"

This sentence.

Just so happened to reach the ears of Bai Mowan who entered.

Her eyes paused briefly.

She didn’t expect Xiao Jinxing to be inside.

Just before arriving at the tent, she thought she saw Xiao Wu standing at the entrance from afar, but thought she was mistaken.

Suddenly, to her surprise, Xiao Jinxing was indeed there.

At that moment, she thought, perhaps as soon as she left, Xiao Jinxing came to find Ye Qichi.

And then she heard Xiao Jinxing’s words, saying Ye Qichi was indeed his Princess.

The irritation, instantly showed on her face.

She came, originally intending to clear the air with Ye Qichi.

She isn’t someone who intends to make enemies.

Today, Ye Qichi clarified everything to her, and Xiao Jinxing even voluntarily invited her for dinner as an apology, she didn’t want to hold any grudges against Ye Qichi anymore.

However, she didn’t expect the relationship between Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi...

Such a relationship, completely different from what she thought!

"Don’t get me wrong, Xiao Jinxing and I..." In a somewhat awkward moment, Ye Qichi quickly tried to explain.

"There’s no misunderstanding." Bai Mowan glanced at Xiao Jinxing, "Prince Chen just made it very clear, you are his Princess."

"..." Ye Qichi felt like even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear her name now.

The trust she had just built with Bai Mowan that afternoon, now all wasted.

"I’ll leave, I won’t disturb Prince Chen and Princess Chen in their love..." Bai Mowan turned and left.

Seemingly resolute, but clearly walking slowly.

Perhaps waiting for Xiao Jinxing to explain.

However, ultimately, Xiao Jinxing didn’t say a word.

Bai Mowan bit her lip and then strode off.

Leaving while shaking with anger.

She was really too foolish.

She actually went to believe Ye Qichi’s nonsense, saying she didn’t like Xiao Jinxing, saying that Xiao Jinxing would end up with her!

Ridiculous.

Even if it’s not for Ye Qichi, how could she let go of a man as good as Xiao Jinxing, a man with such great prospects?!

Ye Qichi, how could she possibly give up such wealth and honor?!

It’s because she was too kind.

Always too easy to trust someone.

In the past life, she was betrayed and left with nothing.

In this life.

She will absolutely not repeat the same mistakes! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Never again will she easily trust anyone.

From now on, she only trusts herself!
