With her strength, grabbing onto Yan Yuan's arm was undoubtedly just scratching an itch. Her slightly angry look was more like she was flirting with him.

Yan Yuan looked at her, the haze in his heart swept away at this moment. He looked at her and laughed helplessly.

Once again, he embraced her tightly. "How could This King dare to look down on you? I just don't want you to get injured."

Liu Ruo Qing, who was in his embrace, felt the tip of her nose turn sour. Her eyes became hot, and her hand grabbed onto his palm lightly, and then, unhappily, twisted it, "I also don't want you to be injured because of me, but every time you …"

Liu Ruo Qing still did not speak further. With regards to this matter, just thinking about it made her heart ache even more.

"Can you feel my fear today?"

Her voice, was mixed with a few heavy nasal sounds, causing Yan Yuan's heart to fiercely ache.

Because he was poisoned, Yan Yuan's fingertip was a bit cold. When he held Liu Ruo Qing's hand, the cold feeling flowed through her palm and seeped into her blood.

"Yes, I feel it. I promise you, there won't be a next time."

Once he finds Senior Liu and let Qing Er return to his side, he would be able to let her go in peace.

Later...

Even if he wanted to protect her, he probably wouldn't have the chance.

Yan Yuan smiled in his heart.

However, after thinking about it, as long as she could safely return to her own place and live her own life, even if he were to really die, he would be at ease.

"I wonder if Senior Liu will come back to find you after we return to the capital."

When Liu Ruo Qing heard him mention this, his body stiffened for a moment. In her heart, she obviously knew what he meant.

She lowered her eyes, smiled, and replied, "I don't know what Master is going to do. Who else would he know besides me here?"

This was something she had never been able to figure out.

The main reason why her master had transmigrated over was probably to find her.

Since he found her, why did he abandon her and say that he had something important to do?

He was an old man who came from the twenty-first century, what important things could he possibly have in the Easternum?

Liu Ruo Qing couldn't understand, so she had to wait for the old man to come back before he could ask him about it.

For the next few days, their journey went smoothly. Three days later, they returned to the capital.

"Princess, you're finally back. Your servant is worried about you."

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing had returned, Xiao Yue could not conceal the joy on her face.

After returning to the capital, Liu Ruo Qing's worries were finally relieved.

With Lu Yuan He here, he should be able to think of a way to cure the poison in Yan Yuan's body.

As he comforted himself, Liu Ruo Qing's mood improved a lot.

"How is it? How is the business of the Red Chamber of Commerce during my absence?"

Business is getting better and better, especially those little stories you left behind earlier, Princess. Although the repercussions weren't as big as' Dream of the Red Chamber ', it still caught the interest of the guests.

When Xiao Yue talked about this, her eyes lit up.

Liu Ruo Qing smiled as she pressed her lips to her lips. The stories she chose were all extremely famous and extremely popular.

In this era, it naturally wouldn't be any worse.

"Oh right, Princess, you asked this servant to find a garden last time. This servant has already complied with your request to have the masters get dressed overnight."

When she mentioned this, Xiao Yue couldn't help but think of Rong Qi, and his brows subconsciously knitted together.

Why was he still staying in the Easternum?

Was he planning to keep an eye on her?

Thinking about it, Xiao Yue found it funny.

With Rong Qi's identity, how could he have come to the Easternum to stare at her?

If he wanted to keep an eye on her, all he had to do was send someone over.

"Is everything ready? "Take me to see it."

Liu Ruo Qing's voice pulled Xiao Yue back from her thoughts.

She immediately suppressed the distress she was feeling earlier and nodded towards Liu Ruo Qing, "Alright, I will bring the princess there now."

Xiao Yue accompanied Liu Ruo Qing out of the restaurant. Coincidentally, someone walked in right outside and they bumped into each other.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yue's expression immediately changed, and she looked at him as if she had a layer of ice in her eyes.

The one who came was Rong Qi.

He naturally saw the instantly cooling sensation on Xiao Yue's face, and the undisguised rejection in the depths of her eyes.

He hooked up a smile and suppressed the dark color in his eyes. He nodded towards her with a smile, "Miss Xiao Yue."

Xiao Yue coldly swept a glance at him, her face was stern as she answered, "Young Noble Rong."

Rong Qi's gaze stayed on Xiao Yue's face for a moment, then moved away while smiling, and then cupped his hands towards Liu Ruo Qing: "Boss Liu."

"So it's you, young master."

"I didn't expect Boss Liu to remember me."

"Of course, since Young Master is so outstanding and handsome, anyone who sees him will remember him."

Liu Ruo Qing praised him without concealing anything, but in her heart, she was increasingly suspicious of the man's identity.

From his accent, he did not seem like a person from the Jindu. His bearing was also not like that of a merchant from outside the Jindu, but more like a son from a noble family or a relative of the royal family.

A person like this had actually mentioned that he wanted to stay at her restaurant in order to find a job. If it wasn't for some ulterior motive, she would never have believed it.

At the same time, Rong Qi also calmly sized Liu Ruo Qing up. He could tell that Liu Ruo Qing suspected him.

For such a woman with such deep thoughts, when Xiao Yue was by her side, could she really not tell her identity?

What Xiao Yue did not know was that the reason why Rong Qi had been staying in the Easternum the entire time was because he did not trust her to stay here, especially with Yan Yuan's wife.

What kind of person was Yan Yuan, was he someone that a little girl like Xiao Yue could easily hide from?

Especially since Yan Yuan treated her as his precious concubine, wouldn't he make others pay more attention to the people around her?

Liu Ruo Qing and Rong Qi quietly observed each other for a few seconds before Rong Qi said: "Boss Liu, you flatter me."

"Young Master is too polite."

Xiao Yue did not know what the two were thinking, but seeing that Rong Qi had actually met Liu Ruo Qing before, he started to panic a little.

I wonder if Rong Qi will tell Lady Liu about her identity.

She stared at Rong Qi's casual smile, her heart becoming more nervous.

Rong Qi's actions and actions were something no one could understand, and it was the same for her.

Thinking this way, she pulled Liu Ruo Qing and pretended to be calm as she said: "Princess, the elegant garden that this servant mentioned is the one that Sir Rong sold to us."

"Oh?"

Liu Ruo Qing raised her brows, and the gaze she used to look at Rong Qi became several times more profound.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this handsome young master had other motives.
