96 Lousy Carriage

A thought flashed across Chu Liuyue's mind. His behavior at the banquet was deliberate, but… why?

"Your Highness, you…" Chu Liuyue wanted the situation clarified, but Rong Xiu had straightened himself.

"You've had a busy day. I won't bother you." Rong Xiu put his cloak over himself and left. His tall, dark silhouette disappeared in the night.

Chu Liuyue only sighed with relief after she stared in the direction Rong Xiu disappeared in for a while. She then curled her fingers.

Just now… Rong Xiu was so close to her, and her heart had begun to speed up.

In theory, she would never let someone 'disrespect' her like this, but… she did not seem to dislike Rong Xiu's closeness. For some reason, she seemed to believe that Rong Xiu would not harm her.

She did not know where her sense of trust came from.
