The carriage arrived at the brightly lit street market. All the roofs on the street were hung with rose-shaped lanterns. Middle-aged couples who brought their children out for a walk, and young boys and girls who were just beginning to fall in love and observing their own etiquette, all added a touch of romance to the night.

Zhao Shu opened the curtain and got off the carriage. The beautiful girl immediately attracted the young men around her to look back frequently. The girls who were traveling with her stomped their feet and ran forward as if they had eaten a sour lemon. The young men noticed it and chased after them in annoyance, teasing and coaxing the girls.

Zhao Shu was totally unaware that she had almost broken up many couples, but Lin Xun saw the whole scene.

Lin Xun walked to Zhao Shu's side calmly and blocked all those gazes.

Zhao Shu was looking around when suddenly a dark shadow blocked half of her sight. She frowned and looked up.

Zhao Shu was bothered by the fact that he blocked her view, but what was more important now was that Cousin Jin had not arrived yet.

She said in a soft voice, "Where are Cousin Jin and the others?" Didn't they say that Cousin Jin and Li Yanrong would come together?

Lin Xun felt guilty for two seconds, coughed twice and said, "Well, Xie Jin and the others have something to do and can't come tonight."

Zhao Shu was startled and stared at him straight in the eyes. Under her gaze, Lin Xun moved his eyes away a little and said righteously: "Xie Jin and the others are really something. They clearly agreed on something, but they changed their minds without any gentlemanly manners!"

Lin Xun saw someone selling rose cakes in front of him. He turned around and said to Zhao Shu with a smile: "It's okay, if they don't come, then they don't come. I'll accompany you shopping!" As he said that, he pulled her up and was about to walk forward.

Zhao Shu put her hands behind her, and Lin Xun's hands were immediately empty.

Zhao Shu looked at him indifferently and said, "Let's go back too. There's nothing much to see during the Qiqiao Festival." As she said that, she was about to climb onto the carriage.

Lin Xun didn't react for a moment. When he did, he took a quick step, grabbed Zhao Shu's arm with his big hand and pulled her over.
Zhao Shu was pulled and staggered, and almost fell into Lin Xun's arms.

Zhao Shu was a little angry: "What are you doing!?"

Lin Xun was startled by the shouting, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all: "I, I will take you there."

Zhao Shu pulled his hand hard: "I won't go!"

Although Lin Xun had some patience with Zhao Shu, he was also a spoiled young man. In this situation, the strong character engraved in his bones jumped out: "You must go with me!"

"I'm not going!" Zhao Shu's face flushed.

Lin Xun got angry and didn't give her any chance to do anything. He pulled her forward.

Even though Zhao Shu was usually not liked by the people around her, those people would at most just mock and ridicule her. No one was as arrogant and unreasonable as Lin Xun!
Zhao Shu was extremely angry, but she was not as strong as Lin Xun. She quickly thought that instead of letting him pull her in such an ugly way, it would be better to follow him obediently and regard it as a way to cultivate her sentiments!
After figuring it out, Zhao Shu immediately stopped struggling and followed Lin Xun without any effort.

Lin Xun noticed the gentleness of the girl behind him and couldn't help but turn his head to look. Zhao Shu was looking around with a faint expression, as if she was strolling around a night market.

Logically speaking, the girl obeyed him, so he should be happy. But for some reason, looking at her calm face, he couldn't help but want to stab her: "Even in this situation, the girl can still be so obedient. I guess she has done this kind of thing many times!"

Zhao Shu glanced at him indifferently, then turned her eyes away. She was quite experienced in dealing with this kind of people. The more you pay attention to him, the more excited he becomes and the more he will take advantage of you!

Seeing that Zhao Shu ignored him, Lin Xun felt a surge of turbid air from his chest to the top of his head, and then from the top of his head back to his chest. His chest kept rising and falling, and he said, "Don't be so self-indulgent. Xie Jin is not someone you can dream of!" Zhao Shu raised her eyes and glared at him. Seeing that she finally responded, Lin Xun softened his tone, but still said mercilessly, "Although you are the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Marquis family, you and I know it very well, and everyone knows it very well, that you, a young lady, are probably not as valued as the housekeeper of the mansion."

Lin Xun coughed and continued: "Xie Jin, you can forget about it, but you can think about other people, like me."

As Lin Xun was talking, he saw Zhao Shu staring blankly at somewhere. He followed her line of sight and was also stunned.

In the crowd, a handsome man was accompanying a pretty and elegant girl to select lanterns. From the perspective of others, they were a perfect match.

Lin Xun laughed sarcastically and said to Zhao Shu: "See, I was right, you have no chance!"

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said calmly, "Are you still going to shop? If not, I'll leave!"

Lin Xun looked at her and sneered, "Why not go shopping?" After that, he pulled Zhao Shu straight towards Xie Jin and the others.

Zhao Shu didn't resist and just followed him.

Lin Xun stopped in front of Xie Jin and the others and said with a smile, "It turns out that the prince has an appointment with a beautiful woman!"

As soon as these words were spoken, two blushes instantly appeared on Wang Yujin's face, and she looked at Xie Jin shyly.

That look was extremely affectionate.

Zhao Shu's eyes darkened for a moment when she saw this. Since Lin Xun and the others came over, Xie Jin's eyes had been on Zhao Shu. He frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Shu lowered her head and said nothing. Lin Xun was so angry that he almost laughed: "Why, this street belongs to the prince, you can come here, but we can't?"

"Stop fooling around! Go back now!" Xie Jin frowned and shouted.

Lin Xun was so furious when he saw the girl who had just been making a fuss in front of him now shrinking her head like a quail and not saying a word.
