After hearing this, Rong Zhan opened his tightly shut eyes and looked up at Gu Qingxue. “You’re back.”
“Yes, we ran into some trouble on the way, so we were delayed for a while.” Before Gu Qingxue could finish her sentence, she saw Rong Zhan nodding.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already asked someone to help you vent your anger. Since
I’ve been waiting for you to return, I’ll go back and rest first.” With that, Rong Zhan stood up in a drunken state. However, before he could take two steps forward, his legs wobbled and he fell toward Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue subconsciously opened her arms to support Rong Zhan, her heart beating wildly. “Your Royal Highness, have you been waiting for me to return?” Rong Zhan leaned on Gu Qingxue and nodded lightly.
It was difficult to describe the joy that rose in her heart. Gu Qingxue lowered her eyes and asked softly, “Why did Your Royal Highness wait for me?”
Rong Zhan was jolted awake after hearing this. He reached out to hold Gu
Qingxue’s shoulder and looked into her eyes. “Don’t you know why?”
Under the moonlight, Gu Qingxue looked at Rong Zhan’s handsome face, and her heart started to beat uncontrollably. Even her face was slightly hot, and she shook her head in confusion.
“Alright, then I’ll let you understand.” After saying that, Rong Zhan lifted Gu Qingxue’s chin and, under her shocked gaze, kissed her on the lips.
Rong Zhan’s lips were slightly cold, and the moment he came closer, the smell of alcohol wafted over, almost making Gu Qingxue drunk as well.
Gu Qingxue’s mind went blank. She did not expect this to happen at all. By the time she came back to her senses, her face was already burning. She reached out and pushed Rong Zhan away.
Rong Zhan was drowsy and sat heavily on the stool in the pavilion, looking as
if he was still not awake.
“You’re… drunk. You should rest early.” After Gu Qingxue hurriedly said this, she ran out of the garden without looking back.
The moment Gu Qingxue left, Rong Zhan’s lips curled into a faint smile.
The drunkenness in his eyes was replaced by clarity. Rong Zhan recalled the light kiss just now. Gu Qingxue’s frightened expression was still vivid in his mind, and it made his eyes glow with a fiery light. Although she was surprised, she did not resist.
The smile on Rong Zhan’s lips deepened.
Ji Yan had rushed back to report after dealing with Qu Lianyu’s matters. When he arrived, he saw Rong Zhan smiling happily. He could not help but rub his eyes, thinking that there was something wrong with his eyes.
Otherwise, how could the always cold and indifferent Rong Zhan smile so happily?
Rong Zhan could also feel Ji Yan’s breath, and the smile on his lips immediately disappeared. “Has everything been settled?”
Ji Yan saw that Rong Zhan’s mood had changed so much, and he almost suspected that the smile he saw just now was an illusion. “Your Royal Highness, everything has been settled. Before I left, I gave them the medicine prepared by those men. We found a remote place, only those men and Qu Lianyu were there. According to Your Royal Highness’ orders, we let them suffer a fate worse than death..”
