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

Chapter 78 Holding her in my arms
"Your Highness, the heir of the Duke of Jin has already left."

Chu Jiang turned to the girl beside him: "Did you hear that? Your brother Murong is gone. If you go back now, you won't be able to see him again."

The head guard, Ye, who had temporarily entered to act as a bodyguard and report the news, paused in his steps and almost tripped: The smell of jealousy is overwhelming…

The little girl, who had been lost in thought, looked at him upon hearing this: "Do you hate me that much? I thought... I thought we were friends..."

Her voice trailed off, her eyes brimming with tears, making her look incredibly pitiful.

Chu Jiang frowned and retorted without thinking, "Who wants to be your friend?"

However, he regretted it as soon as he said it, because he saw the hurt look in the little girl's eyes.

Qin Su stood up from the stone chair, her head bowed: "Your Highness is right, I am unworthy of your status."

She turned to leave after she finished speaking, but it almost made Chu Jiang furious. He grabbed her wrist to stop her from running away and frowned, saying, "I didn't kick you out."

But the little girl seemed genuinely hurt, struggling fiercely: "No need, I'm not in your way!"

As she spoke, tears fell again. This time, before the man could warn her, she used her other hand, which wasn't being held, to wipe away her tears.

I don't know why, but the more I wipe, the more there is, and I just can't stop.

The more she acted like this, the angrier Chu Jiang became. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed her in front of him, saying, "Stop crying! If you cry again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

He scolded her while using his sleeve to wipe away her tears.

The little girl didn't say anything, but tears still fell in large drops.

It hit the back of the man's hand, making him shudder as if he had been burned.

Chu Jiang paused, his dark, deep eyes meeting those fragile, broken eyes, his voice low and hoarse: "Qin Sangsang..."

The man's gaze was so intense that it made the girl, who was still crying, suddenly panic. She instinctively began to apologize, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man pressed her head down and pulled her into his arms, his deep voice ringing out through gritted teeth:

"If you dare say something like that again, I'll kill you!"

The girl in his arms quieted down for a moment, then a muffled voice came from his chest: "I'm sorry, I'm just too sad..."

The shadowy figure lurking in the darkness let out a silent explosion: Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Only after embracing her did Chu Jiang realize how petite and fragile the girl in his arms was, as if he could crush her with the slightest effort.

Feeling the girl trembling and crying in his arms, he blushed, but his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to fight someone to the death: Murong Jing!

Murong Jing, the scumbag who was constantly "coveted" by the tyrant, was not having a good time at all.

When the carriage finally arrived at Chunfeng Tower again, there was no doubt that the girl was nowhere to be seen.

He paid people to help him search, but even by nightfall, he still hadn't found any trace of the girl.

As time went on, his panic deepened, filled with self-blame, regret, and above all, unease.

"Enough! Go report this to the authorities!"

Finally, another person came back and said they couldn't find it, and he couldn't bear it any longer and spoke up.

The coachman paused for a moment, then asked, "Young master, is it possible that Miss Sangsang has already gone home?"

Murong Jing subconsciously retorted, "How could that be? If Sangsang goes back, the people from the Prime Minister's residence will come to inform us."

The driver thought about it and realized he was right; no one had indeed notified them: "Then..."

"Go back again! If he's still not back, I'll personally report him to the authorities!" Murong Jing jumped onto the carriage. His once neat and tidy appearance had become disheveled after an afternoon of travel, but he didn't care at all.

[Host, the male lead has come back to find you again!]

The system was helping Qin Su organize her medical records when it suddenly gave her a reminder.

Shortly after he finished speaking, someone knocked on the gate of the outer courtyard.

Qin Su was reviewing the data. Although she had cried for a long time in the afternoon, the system detected significant changes in the tyrant's hormones throughout the process, which gave her new inspiration.

So, despite being exhausted, he focused on researching information and developing a new treatment plan.

Even the system couldn't help but sympathize with the tyrant: although it was for treatment, the tyrant didn't forget his "duty" even at a time like this. If he knew, he might go crazy with anger.

I'm talking to you about feelings, and you're talking to me about treatment?
"Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so late at night?"

Aunt Xu was speechless; she was already getting ready to go to sleep!
"Mother, I'll go. You go back and rest."

Qin Su pushed open the door, stopping Aunt Xu who was about to open it.

In the past, Aunt Xu would have scolded her, "You brat, are you deaf? Can't you hear someone knocking?"

But now, she only dared to smile, her expression incredibly kind: "Alright, go open the door, and I'll go back."

He didn't dare to refute her at all.

Qin Su walked to the courtyard gate. Her expression didn't show it, but she was already a little impatient. Her inspiration had just been interrupted, and she hoped that the scoundrel had something important to say.

Otherwise, just die!
"Squeak-"

The door suddenly opened, and Murong Jing's outstretched hand almost hit Qin Su's face.

Seeing her appear behind the door, his eyes lit up with undisguised joy: "Sangsang, you're back? I thought..."

Qin Su ignored her and looked at the middle-aged man with a mustache behind her: "Is there something you need, Butler Zhao?"

Steward Zhao, who was suddenly summoned to accompany the young master to visit the third young lady, was actually a little confused:

"It's nothing. It's just that the young master said the third young lady is missing, so this old servant came with him to check on her."

"Yes, Sangsang, you weren't home when I came back this afternoon. When did you get back? The gatekeeper said he didn't see you either. How come you..."

"What's it to you? Why should I explain it to you?"

Murong Jing's heart full of concern and anxiety was completely stunned by the girl's cold words. He froze, "Sang Sang..."

Qin Su, however, had little patience: "Alright, now that I've seen the person, if there's nothing else, I'll head back."

After saying that, she made a move to close the door.

But the next moment, the man recklessly reached his hand in, and if she hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been caught in his hand.

Qin Su was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

Murong Jing stared intently at her: "Are you that angry? So angry that you won't even say a word to me?"

Qin Su merely frowned, refusing to speak to him. Her eyes shifted to the equally dumbfounded butler beside her, who seemed either shocked by Murong Jing's reckless madness or terrified by the sudden outburst of the seemingly weak Third Miss: "Butler Zhao, the young master is tired. Please escort him home. I..."

"I'm fine!"

Before Qin Su could finish speaking, the man grabbed her hand, and she instantly felt disgusted and wanted to kick him away.

The tyrant is both her patient and her target for seduction. She can tolerate his closeness, but what does he think he is, you scumbag?
