What's the answer? Does it mean I should call him "master"?

Leng Yi's face turned red. Although she felt it was too late, she quickly turned to Ling Cao and said, "Ling Cao, you go out first!"

"I...I'm not going out!" Lingcao said firmly after glancing at Zhao Yin, her face showing difficulty.

"Huh?" Leng Yi was dumbfounded. Ling Cao actually rejected her.

"What if His Highness Prince Jing does something to you?" Lingcao asked nervously.

Leng Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she urged, "...He won't do anything to me, you should leave quickly."

At this moment, Zhao Yin chuckled and whispered in Leng Yi's ear, "I'll take you away as soon as she leaves, and you'll never see her again in your life."

Leng Yi was completely panicked and asked Zhao Yin blankly, "Are you kidding me?"

"No," Zhao Yin denied, his expression growing even more impatient. He shoved Leng Yi onto the rosewood stool beside him, leaned down to look at her, and said, "Are you going to keep dragging this out? Leng Yi, I'm running out of patience."

Upon seeing this, Lingcao's face turned pale with fright. She immediately raised the vase, which was just an arm's length away from her, above her head, looking as if she would dare to smash the vase over if Zhao Yin made any rash move.

Leng Yi looked at Zhao Yin and then at Ling Cao, feeling utterly overwhelmed. "Ling Cao, put the vase down first... and Zhao Yin, listen to me first..."

"I've been waiting, but you've never said anything."

"Uh." Zhao Yin looked very angry, something must have happened before. Leng Yi decided to find out the truth before coaxing him.

"Zhao Yin, what's wrong? What happened?" Leng Yi blinked and asked.

Zhao Yin's expression remained unchanged. He certainly wouldn't tell Leng Yi that he had overheard her conversation with the maid that day. Based on his understanding of her, if he did tell her, she would either lie to him and say, "How could I leave you?" or she would confess to him. He didn't want to hear Leng Yi say that she wanted to leave him. He dared not predict what he would do.

He placed Leng Yi next to Zhao Qun hoping she could survive no matter what, but now he wishes she would die with him.

"If I regret it and want to take you with me, would you be willing?"

Zhao Yin wanted to ask that, but he didn't dare. He wasn't entirely sure Leng Yi would go with him. What if, even if Leng Yi was willing to go with him, she thought about running away every day?

...She will definitely escape.

He was going crazy because he knew Leng Yi would definitely escape.

Suppressing the myriad thoughts in his mind, Zhao Yin calmly said, "...It's nothing, it's just that you chased me away as soon as I arrived, and I'm very unhappy about that."

Is that all? Leng Yi thought to herself, then smiled and reassured him, "I'm just worried that you might be in danger if you're discovered. After all, this is Zhao Qun's territory, and there might be experts in the Prince Zhao's mansion."

"Is that all?"

"Oh my god, how did Zhao Yin manage to get all the questions she wanted to ask out?" A hint of guilt flashed across Leng Yi's blue eyes as she thought to herself, "Zhao Yin and I know each other so well, it's really hard to fool him."

Zhao Yin regretted his words as soon as they came out. Since Leng Yi was willing to lie to him, he should have stopped there and shouldn't have pressed her for an answer.

"Of course, I'm also very afraid of being discovered... After all, we're a pair of adulterers, right?" Leng Yi said cautiously, unable to bring herself to call him "master."

"..." Zhao Yin's expression visibly softened considerably.

Leng Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Actually, I was very worried about seeing you in front of Zhao Qun today... What if I had my eyes glued to you?"

"..." Zhao Yin's lips curled up slightly involuntarily.

Humph, man!

After appeasing Zhao Yin, Leng Yi quickly sent him away. Leng Yi immediately collapsed onto the bed, feeling exhausted.

Bellflower put the vase down and walked over to Lengyi.

"Lingcao, you scared me to death just now. I thought you were really going to smash Zhao Yin." Leng Yi's voice came from under the covers.

"I'm sorry, Ningbi. I thought Prince Jing was going to hurt you," Lingcao said with a look of self-reproach.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. Zhao Yin and I often do this, you'll get used to it."

"Often?" Lingcao was very surprised, she never expected that. In fact, she could vaguely sense that Ningbi and Prince Jing's mood would improve every time they met, and she thought they were very sweet together.

Leng Yi thought about it carefully and said, "Zhao Yin and I are two lunatics. Whenever we meet, either I go crazy or he goes crazy. We feel both pain and pleasure when we see each other. It would be strange if we didn't act like this one day."

There was something else he hadn't said; if it weren't for Lingcao, they probably would have started to hate each other again.

In short, they tormented each other like this, not knowing how long this would last...
