"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 77: Was it him who made you cry? (Part 2)

Qin Su raised her hand and removed the mask from the man's face, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with exceptional bone structure.

The dim carriage, with its occasional slivers of sunlight filtering through as it jolted along, cast shadows on the man's straight, well-defined nose, making it appear as if sculpted.

Her breath caught in her throat. Looking at him, she was completely captivated by his beauty. For a moment, her mind went blank, and she even forgot to continue pretending to cry.

Chu Jiang leaned back against the carriage wall, languid and carefree, maintaining the same posture as before as he stared at the girl.

For a moment, no one spoke in the carriage, and the atmosphere became strangely ambiguous, making it hard to breathe.

Finally, Qin Su was the first to look away, return the mask to the man, and lower her head to hide her slightly flushed cheeks.

Chu Jiang scoffed coldly, thinking she had really gone too far.

The carriage moved forward, but no one spoke again inside.

The system quietly spoke up: [What's wrong, host? Are you just quiet?]

Qin Su: "Shut up!"
-
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Prime Minister's residence."

After an unknown amount of time, a respectful reminder from outside the car woke Qin Su, who then realized that she had fallen asleep without realizing it.

"Thank you so much for bringing me back."

She kept her head down, avoiding the man's eyes, and lifted the carriage curtain to get out and leave.

"Wait a moment."

A cool, deep male voice rang out, causing her to pause in her action of getting out of the car, just in time to see—

At the Prime Minister's gate, Murong Jing was carefully helping his elder sister down from the carriage. The two were a handsome couple, a truly pleasing sight.

She suddenly forgot what she was supposed to do and just stared blankly at it.

The two of them talked and smiled at each other, creating a beautiful and harmonious scene.

However, this harmony was quickly interrupted by a cold and sinister male voice: "Is he the one who made you cry?"

Chu Jiang appeared behind her at some point, watching the same scene as her, exuding an aura of wanting to cause trouble.

The little girl looked up at him, and although she hadn't said a word, she had already said everything.

"okay, I get it."

The man revealed a handsome yet sinister smile, got out of the car, and prepared to go over.

Qin Su then realized what he was about to do: "No, don't go over there!"

She frantically grabbed the fabric around the man's waist to stop him from going over to cause trouble.

Chu Jiang said coldly, "Release me."

She shook her head violently: "No."

Chu Jiang scoffed and grabbed her hand, about to let go.

The bastard who had been bothering him all the way here suddenly appeared before him, looking so fresh and clean. But if he went over and beat him to death, he wouldn't be a man!
"No, please!"

The little girl's voice was tinged with tears, and her watery eyes looked at him as if she would burst into tears the moment he refused.

Chu Jiang's face was as black as ink as he warned her, "Don't cry."

She said, "Then don't go over there."

Chu Jiang: "No one in this world can teach me how to do things."

She shook her head, looking at him with eyes that were almost filled with tears, delicate yet stubborn.

“If you dare to cry, I’ll kill him right now,” he said viciously.

"I didn't cry."

As she spoke, she hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hands, trying to prove that she wasn't crying.

Chu Jiang: What if I get even angrier?
Because of this delay, the two people opposite had already entered the Prime Minister's residence together.

The Seventh Prince's first attempt failed.

"He was lucky this time."

Upon discovering that the person was gone, Chu Jiang had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

He could go to the Prime Minister's residence and beat someone up, but...

Looking at the little girl in front of him, whose eyes were red like a rabbit's, he felt it was unnecessary.

It's just a matter of beating someone up; there will be plenty of opportunities.

"Where are you going again?"

When he noticed that the little rabbit was sneaking away when he wasn't looking, he grabbed it by the collar and pulled it back.

She was even more confused, her voice soft: "I want to go home..."

"Go home? I think you're going back to find him, aren't you?"

Chu Jiang had only said it casually, but when he finished speaking, he found that the little girl didn't refute him, and he was almost furious.

"You're not allowed to go back!"

After saying this, he threw the man into the carriage and ordered in a deep voice, "Return to the manor!"

The coachman, Chief Guard Ye, who was pretending to be a corpse but was actually watching with great interest, replied: "Yes!"

This is the first time I've seen someone anger the Seventh Prince to this extent without him having a relapse. This Miss Qin is truly capable.
-
Qin Su was thus "forced" to be abducted by the tyrant and taken to his mansion.

Actually, even though they've known each other for so long, this is her first time here.

The entire palace is magnificent and covers a vast area. The corridors are winding, and the pavilions and towers along the way are extremely beautiful.

It's clear that even when living away from home, the emperor wouldn't let "His Highness the Crown Prince" suffer.

Qin Su quietly followed behind the tyrant, earnestly playing the role of a heartbroken little girl.

She remained silent, but the man couldn't help but be sarcastic: "How come I didn't know you were so infatuated before? Why don't you look up? Are you afraid I'll see you cry and then kill your Murong brother?"

Qin Su paused, looked up, and said with a somewhat aggrieved expression, "I didn't."

"You do!" Chu Jiang sneered, "You like him that much?"

Do you like someone so much that you can't see anyone else around you?

The little girl, who had been arguing, suddenly paused upon hearing this: "I didn't..."

She lowered her head, her voice very soft: "I'm just... used to it..."

What have you gotten used to?
Have you gotten used to liking that jerk?
For some reason, the girl's soft, gentle words dealt Chu Jiang a blow that was even greater than a direct admission of affection.

His brows furrowed even more, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Murong Jing, right? I'll remember that!

For the rest of the journey, the two remained silent.

No one spoke; they just walked one after the other.

Chu Jiang was already tall and had long legs, so one of his steps was equivalent to two steps for the little girl. In addition, he was in a bad mood, so he took even faster steps.

Before long, a long distance had grown between the two.

When he realized there was no sound around him for a while, he turned around and found: Where is everyone? Where did everyone go?
Almost immediately, a violent rage overwhelmed the man's reason.

She must have run back to find that Murong Jing.

Just wait, when he catches her, he'll break her legs and see if she dares to run again!

The man's face was so gloomy and terrifying that the servants they encountered along the way were so frightened that their legs went weak and they immediately knelt down with a thud.

Chu Jiang walked faster and faster, eventually resorting to his lightness skill, his nerves so taut they seemed about to snap at the slightest touch.

Then, as you turn the corner—

With a cry of "Ouch!", he nearly knocked the person in front of him flying.

Before Qin Su could even see who it was, the man grabbed her wrist with such force that it seemed he was going to break her hand.

"Where did you go? Didn't I tell you to come with me?"

The man's voice was so sinister it seemed to come from hell, giving the listener goosebumps.

Qin Su almost couldn't help but ask him if he was having another episode. But she did nothing, only looking up at him with a pitiful expression: "You're walking too fast, I can't keep up..."

Chu Jiang was stunned. The anger in his chest was extinguished by most of it, and his rationality returned.

He looked up and, seeing that she wasn't lying, his remaining anger completely dissipated, though it didn't stop him from being sarcastic: "Serves you right, who told you to have such short legs?"

Qin Su: ? ? ?
Before she could say anything, the man pulled her away.

She moved her hands: "I can walk by myself."

The man didn't even turn his head: "If you leave on your own, you might not even make it until dark."

That's no exaggeration. This mansion is so large that a whole day wouldn't be enough to explore it all.

Qin Su struggled for a moment, then let him have his way.

Since someone was eager to take her along, why should she refuse?

But as they turned through another corridor and crossed a painted bridge, she still whispered, "Isn't it tiring for you to travel such a long distance?"

Chu Jiang's heart trembled slightly, but he did not turn around. He simply loosened his grip on the girl's slender wrist, as if afraid of hurting her.
-
"Where is this place?"

Finally, they reached the gate of a large courtyard, and the tyrant finally released her.

Qin Su already had a guess in her heart, but she still looked completely ignorant on the surface.

Chu Jiang clenched his fist and said coldly, "Why don't you just open it and see?"

He actually regretted it halfway there. He originally wanted to show her his yard, but he was so busy getting there that he didn't even know what he was doing.

Just as Chu Jiang was regretting his actions, the young girl beside him had already boldly raised her hand and pushed open the tightly closed door.

When the familiar courtyard came into view, her eyes lit up: "It's here! This will make it much easier for me to go back!"

Chu Jiang's mood, which had just begun to ease, was instantly ruined by her words:
"Is that all you can think of?"

The little girl looked up at him, her expression somewhat blank and innocent: "Huh?"

Those eyes, red from crying, seemed particularly jarring at that moment.

Chu Jiang snorted and stepped into the courtyard first: "I haven't had lunch yet because I was looking for you."

The guards who were carefully following behind nearly tripped and fell over upon hearing this.
No, you chased after him like you were catching him cheating, and finally brought him back. This is the perfect opportunity to win his favor, and all you say is this?
Qin Su was also taken aback for a moment, then obediently nodded: "Oh."

Then he took a step and walked towards the familiar place.

Chu Jiang didn't hear anyone following him. When he turned around, he found that she had already gone quite a distance. His handsome brows furrowed, and he subconsciously followed, grabbing her hand: "Where are you going?"

The little girl looked at him questioningly: "Didn't you say you were hungry?"

What could she do? Of course, she'd go back and cook.

The girl's bluntness left Chu Jiang speechless; that was clearly not what he meant.

"up to you!"

In the end, the man angrily threw down those words and went back to sulk.

However, after only two steps, he found that he could no longer walk.

His clothes were tugged again. He turned around and met the little girl's bewildered and panicked eyes: "N-it's gone."

She pointed to the snow-white wall, her little face full of anxiety.

Chu Jiang glanced at her and instantly understood why she was in such a hurry: "Want to know what happened?"

The little girl nodded eagerly.

The "dog hole" she usually used to get in and out of was gone, so how was she supposed to get through?

Seeing her serious expression, Chu Jiang suddenly felt a mischievous urge: "If you want to know, beg me."

The little girl was stunned for a moment and looked at him blankly.

Chu Jiang quickly noticed that something was wrong with her.

Thinking she was about to cry again, he had just furrowed his brow when he felt his clothes being gently tugged. The little girl didn't say anything, but looked at him pitifully with her beautiful, expressive eyes.

His once cold and hard heart suddenly softened.

In the end, he merely snorted coldly, then grabbed the girl's soft hand and pressed it against the wall—

"Huh, this wall seems to be moving?"

Qin Su turned around in surprise, about to ask what was going on, when she heard a call coming from next door:

"Sangsang!"

She was stunned, and the tyrant's face darkened.
-
Murong Jing was worried about Sang Sang. After sending Qin Qionghua back, he did not leave. Instead, he turned around and went to the side courtyard to apologize to the little girl.

Whatever the reason, Sangsang was indeed left behind again this time.

He glanced at the pastries in his hand, thinking to himself, "Sangsang will like them, won't she?"
-
Chu Jiang stared coldly at Qin Su, waiting for her reaction.

If she dares to say she wants to go back, he'll see how he deals with her.

Qin Su's previously calm mood began to sour again because of the appearance of the scumbag next door. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked up at the man beside her, whispering, "Can I...?"

Chu Jiang spoke up for her, his smile wicked and chilling: "Can we go back? Of course you can..."

"Can I stay?"

Chu Jiang paused, then asked, "?"

Then I saw the little girl give me a pitiful smile: "I don't want to see him right now..."

Chu Jiang remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on her, his gaze so intense it seemed he wanted to devour her.

The little girl waited for a long time but didn't get a response from him. Then she heard the sound of a door opening next door. It was Aunt Xu, who had been woken up, who went to open the door.

Her eyes dimmed, and her shoulders seemed to slump: "It's alright, I'll go back now..."

She reached out and pushed open the slightly ajar hidden door, preparing to leave.

But the moment he moved, the tyrant grabbed him and dragged him back: "Come here!"
-
Next door, Murong Jing finally waited for the little girl to open the door, but before his smile could even bloom, he learned—

"Sangsang, isn't she back yet?"

He was a little skeptical and subconsciously looked into the courtyard, but it was empty; there was no sign of the girl.

Aunt Xu was even more puzzled than him: "Didn't Sangsang go out with the young master? Didn't she come back with you?"

Faced with the woman's worried gaze, Murong Jing opened his mouth, unsure how to respond.

In the past, even if he abandoned her halfway through such situations, Sangsang would always obediently say "no problem" and then come back on her own.

Why not this time?

"No, I remember now. I told her to wait for me up ahead. I forgot."

Murong Jing gave an awkward smile, barely managed to appease Aunt Xu, and then turned and left.

A strange sense of unease crept into her heart: Where did Sangsang go? Why hasn't she come back yet?

She left so early...

He became increasingly worried, and eventually he even started running.

He ignored the maids sent by Qin Qionghua to deliberately annoy him on the way.

As soon as he got into the carriage, his first words were: "Back to Chunfeng Tower!"

The coachman asked in surprise, "Didn't the young master just go there?"

"Sangsang is still there!"

When he said those words, Murong Jing's mind was in complete turmoil.

Sang Sang, you're still waiting for me there, aren't you?
[Mini Theater]

Regarding the little girl's sadness,

The gentle male supporting character (handing over a handkerchief): Don't cry, he's not worth it.

Tyrant: Don't cry, I'm going to kill him right now!
