Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Now it was Song Zhi's turn to refuse. She reached out and placed her hands on both sides of his cheeks to straighten his head. "Aqi, you like me too, don't you?"

"No."

"Then why did you kiss me just now?"

"..."

"Don't be angry. The wedding news just came out a few days ago. You must have rushed all the way back."

Song Zhi looked up at him, feeling distressed.

She hadn't looked carefully before, but now that she looked closely, she could see that he exuded a dusty air and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he had been traveling all night and hadn't had a good rest.

Song Zhi's eyes were moist, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Mu Nanqi didn't say anything. After a long time, he pressed her into his arms.

At this moment, silence is better than sound, they can clearly hear each other's heartbeats.

Song Zhi thought silently, this should be considered as a way for them to communicate with each other, right?

She suddenly became shy. They had been kissed and hugged, but he couldn't just not be responsible for her!

Song Zhi pushed Mu Nanqi away and jumped down from the table to stand up. "I tell you, I'm not a casual person. I didn't hide just because that person was you."

"I will be responsible."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mu Nanqi.

It was hard to imagine that the Third Prince, who was considered cold and aloof by outsiders, would pull her into his arms and promise word for word, "Azhi, I will marry you."

Song Zhi looked up and saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. The way he hugged her was like holding a lost treasure.

Her heart trembled, and as it beat, an absurd idea arose in her mind.

Mu Nanqi's attitude makes it seem like he has wanted to do this for a long time.

It felt like she was making dumplings for him to attract him, but she was afraid he wouldn't like them, so she used a variety of fillings. But before she could even bring them to him, he came over and ate up the bowl himself.

With doubt in his mind, Song Zhi asked tentatively: "Mu Nanqi, have you fallen in love with me for a long time?"

Mu Nanqi glanced at her and asked, "What are you going to do if I don't come back? Are you going to marry yourself off?"

"Don't try to interrupt me. I'm asking you if you've been plotting something bad towards me for a long time."

He rubbed her head and said, "Yes, I have been planning something bad to you for a long time."

Her guess was confirmed, and she was extremely surprised. "When did it start? Don't you always want me to get lost?"

"You're attracted to that idiot Mu Qinghan and even got engaged to him. Do you expect me to be nice to you?"

Song Zhi looked away feeling a little guilty and quickly changed the subject, "Wang Lanzhi couldn't even get a mosquito into the Song Mansion, so how did you get in?"

"I have my own way."

Mu Nanqi's eyes softened, "Wait a little longer, I can always stand beside you openly."

"I'm not in a hurry, just follow your own plan." Song Zhi smiled brightly.

It is a gift from God that they have the opportunity to be together in this life.

"Just stay in the Song Mansion for the time being and don't worry about anything. Leave the rest to me."

Song Zhi didn't refuse, "Okay."

Only a fool would refuse someone who helps her solve her problem.

Although she can handle it herself, they have just been together, so she has to give someone a chance to show his or her abilities.

The two of them were talking openly and were in the middle of a passionate conversation when Xiao Tao's voice rang out again, "Miss, I've brought breakfast over."

Because she and Song Zhi had already become like sisters, it was common for her to walk in without knocking.

When she pushed the door open as usual, she was almost shocked to see two people hugging each other inside.

Xiao Tao's face changed drastically, and she quickly turned her back, "Miss, I didn't see anything."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Song Zhi reluctantly let go of Mu Nanqi, "Don't go, you've seen it, so bring the food over."

Xiao Tao still didn't turn around, her tone a little more disappointed, "Miss, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not. Forget it, I will say it. I know it's hard to avoid loneliness in seclusion, but you have someone you love. What will happen if the Third Prince finds out about your depravity?"

The Third Prince himself was in a good mood and nodded appreciatively.

Xiao Tao continued, "Forget it this time. Please give me some money and send me out of the city. I will never see her again in this life. I will help you hide it from the Third Prince and never let him know that you cheated on him."

The third prince was in a bad mood and withdrew his appreciation.

Song Zhi didn't expect Xiao Tao to have such a bad temper. He secretly glanced at Mu Nanqi, who looked unhappy, and explained in a low voice, "She was joking."

"What are you joking about? How can I joke at this time?"

Xiao Tao said with righteous indignation, turning around and saying, "If the Third Prince finds any clues, you can put the blame on me and say it's me... the Third Prince?!"

When Xiao Tao saw who was in the room, her voice suddenly rose three degrees.

Mu Nanqi sneered at Song Zhi and said, "Azhi has trained the maid very well."

Song Zhi wanted to cry but had no tears. "She's not like this usually."

Xiao Tao realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly put the food box aside and bowed, "Third Prince, please calm down. I was just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

Mu Nanqi sat down on the couch gracefully, "If another man was here today, would you help your master hide it from me?"

The little peach head shook like a rattle, and her thoughts had never raced so fast in her life. "I am really careless. The young lady is devoted to the Third Prince, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it. It is impossible for other men to appear in the young lady's boudoir."

"You are good at making excuses. You are much smarter than your young lady."

Song Zhi: “…”

Just praise Xiaotao, why put her down?

But what he said proved that he didn't take it to heart.

After pulling Xiaotao up, Song Zhi picked up the lunch box and took out the food.

After a whole night of hard work, she was really hungry.

Knowing that Mu Nanqi hadn't eaten well along the way, she first served him a bowl of porridge and then served herself.

Some people are born to be favored by God. Even something as ordinary as eating can be so pleasing to the eye when done by them that people can't take their eyes off it.

Song Zhi ate while watching.

Xiaotao felt a little embarrassed, covered her face and turned away.

She really couldn't bear to watch it. Her young lady's eyes were almost like the Third Prince's.

After finally finishing the meal, Mu Nanqi stood up and prepared to leave.

The wedding date is almost up, so he has to make arrangements as soon as possible.

He restrained himself and pinched Song Zhi's face, then strode out.

Song Zhi followed him out to see how he left, but when he chased him out, he was no longer outside.

When she came to her senses, she was shocked to realize that she still hadn't asked him when he fell in love with her.

What a sinister man.

Song Zhi felt disgusted with himself for indulging in beauty.

Wait until the next time they meet, she will definitely ask clearly next time they meet.

Song Zhi thought about it in his mind and called the secret guard tentatively.

This time the secret guard responded quickly and appeared in front of him almost instantly.

Song Zhi asked why they lost contact two days ago. The secret guard respectfully replied that there were masters in the Royal Guards and they did not show up for fear of alerting the enemy.

Song Zhi asked again why they were not afraid of alerting the enemy now.

The secret guard replied casually, "Because we've taken advantage of their shifts these past two days to replace all the Royal Guards outside with our own."
