Thinking about what Su Ziluo had said, her mood sank into depression!

With lowered eyes and heavy steps, she returned to the Eastern Courtyard. But the moment her front foot stepped in, her forehead collided with a hard object.

Making her forehead ache involuntarily.

She let out a soft “Mm!”

It turned out to be Jingrong’s chest.

Jingrong’s voice also came from above her head.

“How is it that after going to Yuhua Pavilion for the day, you come back looking half-dead like this? Could it be that the Wei Yi boy refused to come back with you?”

Truly, a dog’s mouth cannot produce ivory!

At this moment, Ji Yinshu really didn’t want to quibble with him.

So—

She simply and straightforwardly went around his body and walked toward the interior of the room. But just after taking a few steps, her wrist was grabbed by Jingrong, who yanked hard.

Her body was forced to tilt backward!

If she hadn’t long understood Jingrong’s routine, by now she would probably have fallen into that fellow’s embrace again.

Truly like a hungry wolf pouncing on food!

Ji Yinshu turned her head to look at him, saying with displeasure, “Your Highness, this case isn’t resolved yet. I really don’t have the mood to tussle with you!”

“This prince isn’t tussling with you, just asking you a question.”

“Asking what?”

“At Yuhua Pavilion, what did you discuss with Muruo?”

“Idle family chat!”

What kind of idle family chat?

Why would they discuss such things!

As soon as Ji Yinshu’s words came out, she received Jingrong’s cold, severe gaze stabbing fiercely toward her brow.

The hand gripping Ji Yinshu’s wrist also tightened even more.

Making Ji Yinshu’s brow furrow tightly with pain. She ground her teeth and said, “Please release me, Your Highness.”

“What, does it hurt?”

“Yes, it hurts very much!”

An honest answer!

This exchange inexplicably felt extremely familiar!

Who would have known that the next moment, Jingrong’s hand yanked again, pulling her before him.

Ji Yinshu’s other hand immediately pressed against his chest, keeping herself at a distance from him. She looked up with dissatisfied eyes at this wolf-like man before her.

Right now, she really wanted to slap him.

However, this impulse was immediately dismissed by herself.

She was no match for him. If she did anything, Jingrong would truly throw her onto that red bed.

Just as she was thinking about such things, Jingrong suddenly hooked her chin and lifted it!

Raising her head even higher.

“Let go!”

Ji Yinshu’s body struggled forcefully, but her strength was no match, and she was still firmly restrained by Jingrong.

“You’d better not move recklessly. This prince doesn’t know what impulsive things he might do next.”

“Beast!”

“What did you call this prince?”

“Beast!”

Without any fear!

The consequences were also obvious—

Jingrong’s face had already darkened to an extreme degree.

Then, he suddenly swept her up horizontally and headed toward the interior of the room.

“What are you doing? Put me down.”

Ji Yinshu kept struggling!

Jingrong paid no attention to her whatsoever, his face carrying a chill as if he wanted to devour someone.

Several young maids at the entrance were stunned by this scene!

Yes, their prince was actually carrying someone in his arms, and that person was a man, and that man was Master Ji.

There had long been rumors that Prince Rong had feelings for Master Ji. They never expected to witness such a precious scene with their own eyes.

Each one covered their mouths, eyes wide, not daring to speak!

They watched helplessly as Jingrong carried the struggling Ji Yinshu into the room.

Just as Jingrong used both feet to close the door, he coldly declared, “Without this prince’s order, no one is permitted to enter!”

His icy words seemed capable of freezing even the cold night sky!

Once inside, Ji Yinshu was directly thrown onto the bed. Because she was thrown with such force, her spine collided with the bed, causing intense pain.

She furrowed her brow. As she was about to rise from the pain, Jingrong’s large body had already pressed down upon her.

Her limbs seemed to be restrained by him, difficult to move.

“Little one, this prince has endured for a very long time. Do you believe that this prince could take you right now?”

“Scoundrel!” Ji Yinshu’s eyes were crimson red.

Both hands gripped the bedsheet tightly, creating wrinkles!

Looking at those tear-filled large eyes, the fury in Jingrong’s heart suddenly dissipated somewhat.

But his stubborn nature made him unwilling to show his reluctance, so he continued speaking harshly.

“No matter how much of a scoundrel this prince may be, ultimately it’s only toward you.”

“So what?”

“So, you are this prince’s person!”

“And then?”

“And then, there’s a wolf at Yuhua Pavilion—you’d best stay away.”

So the source of this fellow’s anger was actually here!

How truly interesting!

Yet also how truly detestable!

Ji Yinshu was so angry her teeth itched. The biggest vinegar jar under heaven had probably been encountered by her.

What a life to have lived to see this!

She quickly turned her head to the side and laughed coldly, “Even if Muruo is a wolf, it’s still much better than Your Highness being a heartless fox.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You know in your heart.”

“This prince doesn’t understand!”

As he spoke, Jingrong’s slender fingertips gripped Ji Yinshu’s chin, forcing her to turn her face toward him again.

He harshly demanded an answer.

“Speak more clearly. Let this prince understand where your words come from.”

Ji Yinshu was truly too lazy to go in circles with him, so she spoke directly, “Your Highness didn’t save Miss Kong at the banquet because before that, you had already met her. Perhaps Miss Kong said something that made you abandon the idea of saving her.”

“Muruo told you this?”

“He merely reminded me. If Your Highness doesn’t want to be a heartless fox, then what exactly did Miss Kong say to you that made you change your mind?”

Jingrong curved his lips and suddenly laughed, “You keep saying you don’t care about this prince, but actually, in your heart, you do care. Otherwise, why would you be so concerned about this matter?”

These words did sound quite reasonable!

However, Ji Yinshu explained, “Your Highness is overthinking. I simply don’t wish to continue defining Your Highness as a heartless person in my heart.”

“Interesting. If you want to hear it, fine, this prince will tell you. At that time…”

Before he finished speaking, Ji Yinshu interrupted him again, saying, “Before Your Highness speaks, could you please get up first? Our current manner of conversation is indeed somewhat inconvenient.”

Jingrong smiled. It seemed that because Ji Yinshu had suddenly become concerned about his affairs, his mood had greatly improved. He obediently rose from her body.

He straightened his clothing and sat properly on the bed.

Also, at the instant Jingrong released her, Ji Yinshu immediately sprang up from the bed, then bounced several meters away, almost escaping from the room.

Of course, she was truly afraid that Jingrong would press her down on the bed again!
