Help Me Once

Ling Qing'er's face darkened. "I've embarrassed myself."

"I'm not laughing." Xiao Ran was very serious.

They entered the residence.

Her parents hurried over with a group of people. Mother Ling took a step forward and grabbed her hand, afraid that she would run away again if she let go in the next moment. She instructed the caretaker, "Make arrangements quickly and let Qing'er continue."

She pointed at Xiao Ran and introduced him.

"His name is Xiao Ran. Like me, he's working for the Imperial Court."

Flushing, looking like a little girl, she finally blurted out, "I… I have taken a fancy to him."

Only then did the two elders notice Xiao Ran.

The scrutiny was thorough, from head to toe.
