The drizzle sprinkled on the majestic city tower, and countless palace lanterns swayed under the eaves.

The peerless young man and woman stood at the top of the city gate tower, leaning against each other under the colorful umbrella.

The fine raindrops landed on the umbrella and formed a curtain of rain around the two of them. The woman’s sweet voice hummed elegantly under the umbrella and dissipated in the rain. It was as if only the two of them leaning against each other were left in the entire world.

The woman looked at the smoke and fire all over the city while the man stared at the woman.

Dongfang Liren hummed seriously for a moment and realized that Ye Jingtang was staring at her. She couldn’t help straightening her back a little, and her face slowly turned red.

Although she didn’t really want to admit it, it seemed that this was indeed a secret rendezvous between a man and a woman.

From the process written in Tears of a Heroine, won’t this pervert hug me, kiss me, and stick out his tongue later?He’ll even reach into my clothes to touch my…

Dongfang Liren had been studying theoretical knowledge recently and really knew the dating process of a man and a woman. She glanced at Ye Jingtang from time to time, and it was unknown if she was guarding against him or waiting.

Ye Jingtang felt that Dumdum had misunderstood. If it were any other time, it would be fine to slowly enjoy the scenery here, but Yuhu’s injury had yet to recover. It would be troublesome if something happened to her while she was bathing alone.

Thus, although the atmosphere was obviously not too right, Ye Jingtang still raised his hand and circled around Dumdum’s back, wanting to hug her shoulders.

As expected! Dongfang Liren discovered that Ye Jingtang was really following the procedure. She hurriedly stopped humming and looked vigilant. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”

Ye Jingtang smiled lightly. “Alright, i’ll send Your Highness back to the prince’s estate.”

Then he hugged Dumdum’s waist and gently jumped down the city gate tower with the tip of his foot, heading toward Jasper Pavilion, which was not far from the Imperial City.

Dongfang Liren felt that Ye Jingtang was tricking her, so she was very careful along the way. She kept paying attention to whether his hand was touching her inappropriately.

In the end, Ye Jingtang was a gentleman. Other than hugging her to shield her from the wind and rain, there was nothing overboard. But in a short time, they had already arrived at the main street of the prince’s estate, crossed the wall, and arrived at Jasper Pavilion in the back garden.

Whoosh!

The two of them landed in front of the tall building, and Ye Jingtang let go. “Rest early, Your Highness. 1’11 visit tomorrow.”

When Dongfang Liren saw that Ye Jingtang was really planning to leave, she was naturally a little confused. Although 1 don’t have any intention of letting you succeed, why aren’t you following the procedure? Why are you leaving so cleanly?

That’s not what it says in the book..

These words were definitely not easy to say. Dongfang Liren straightened her clothes slightly and looked at Ye Jingtang. “Your clothes are torn. Go up and sit. I will find you clean clothes to change into.”

Ye Jingtang had been reading novels for many years and knew what this meant. If he went up now, something might happen.

But there was still the half-dead Yuhu in the palace. It was indeed inappropriate to leave her alone for a long time, so he could only decline politely. “It’s fine. I’ll go back and change. Your Highness, rest early.”

Seeing that Ye Jingtang was determined to leave, Dongfang Liren couldn’t drag him into her house at night.

She didn’t say anything else. She put on a calm and cold expression as she turned around and entered Jasper Pavilion.

Before entering, Dongfang Liren turned around to take another look. Ye Jingtang had already left with the umbrella and was getting farther and farther away in the rain.

Dongfang Liren blinked, feeling strange and a little empty.

She stood at the door for a long time until his figure disappeared into the night. After confirming that he wouldn’t surprise her, she sighed softly and walked toward the stairs unhappily.

But after taking a few steps, Dongfang Liren paused again. She felt that something was wrong…

Have 1 forgotten something…

Right, the empress dowager!

Dongfang Liren patted her forehead lightly and thought of the tunnel dug in the Longevity Palace. The empress dowager couldn’t stay there, and she had been busy today, so she had thrown the empress dowager into the imperial garden to stroll around by herself.

She had agreed to look for the empress dowager after she finished with work, but Ye Jingtang interrupted her, and she completely forgot about it.

Now that she had already returned, it would be too cumbersome to enter the palace again. The empress dowager knew that she was busy today. When she realized that Dongfang Luren wouldn’t come, she should know to return to the Peaceful Hall to sleep.

Dongfang Liren thought about it and threw her mother aside. She walked up the stairs and continued to think about Ye Jingtang’s gaze just now, which said that he ‘couldn’t hide his love for a certain someone…’

Hmph~ You actually dare to have a crush on me? Do you think 1 can’t tell? I’m just not calculative with you…
