"Ah..." Qu Tan'er was startled and looked up, just about to curse. But when she saw Mo Liancheng's teasing eyes, she quickly pursed her lips and gently said, "Prince, Commandery Princess, forgive me for not being able to accompany you any longer. I am not feeling well and would like to return to my room. I do not wish to disturb your conversation."
"Then I shall accompany you back."
"No need. The Commandery Princess has just arrived; the Prince should spend more time talking with her. I can have Jing Xin accompany me back." Qu Tan'er smiled softly and slowly extricated herself from Mo Liancheng's embrace. Before Mo Liancheng could react, she had stepped back several paces.
