Yun Xi's eyes were full of confusion, looking utterly cute and innocent, which made Qi Yu can't help but burst into laughter.
"Yes, I'm the osmanthus cake," he said.
That day at the girls' academy, the way she desperately protected the snack in front of the Seventh Uncle still vividly etched in his mind.
Since she was taken away by the Seventh Uncle later, he didn't get the chance to ask for her name.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Crown Princess chosen for him by the Queen Mother—Yun Xi.
"Are you injured? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Noticing their ambiguous posture at the moment, Qi Yu blushed and was about to get up.
But Yun Xi not only didn't let go of him but tightened her grip on his neck, whispering sharply,
"Don't move! As the Crown Prince, I thought you were an upright man. But I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with that lecher!"
Looking around the furnishings, it was obviously a man's room. Seeing Qi Yu as soon as she woke up, it was hard not to arouse suspicion!
Seeing the fire in Yun Xi's eyes and her blushing face, Qi Yu knew she had misunderstood.
Just as he was about to explain, there was a loud "bang"! One door panel fell to the ground, and the other hung crookedly at the door.
Qi Rong retracted his foot, carried the half - dead Lin Kang, and threw him on the ground inside the room. Stepping on Lin Kang's back, he strode in.
Their eyes met. Yun Xi stared at Qi Rong in shock. He was covered in blood, like a warrior who had just returned from the battlefield, exuding a chilling aura!
But somehow, she felt at ease.
Seeing that Yun Xi was safe, Qi Rong's eyebrows relaxed slightly. Then, seeing Qi Yu under her, his black eyes darkened instantly.
He took heavy steps and in a moment, reached the bedside. He grabbed Yun Xi's waist and slung her over his shoulder.
Then he kicked Qi Yu hard!
"Qi Rong! How dare you harm the Crown Prince!"
Lin Hai, with blood dripping from his lips and covering his abdomen, gasped as he followed in. Seeing this scene, he shouted in horror.
Fortunately, Qi Yu was agile. He turned around and dodged Qi Rong's attack.
"Seventh Uncle, you've misunderstood!"
Qi Yu jumped out of bed, glanced at Yun Xi, and explained politely,
"I came here to save Miss Yun!" But unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by both of them.
Qi Yu couldn't help but feel helpless:
Was he really that hideous - looking? Did he look like a heinous person?
Ignoring Qi Yu, Qi Rong tilted his head and shot a cold look at Yun Xi,
"Saving someone but ending up in bed?"
Yun Xi was already dizzy. Being slung around by Qi Rong like this made her feel even worse.
But even so, she still didn't lose her ability to think calmly.
Although she didn't know why Qi Rong was here, and she had always had a bad impression of him, compared to the other strangers, she was more willing to trust Qi Rong for the time being.
Among the people present, she only knew Qi Rong and the Crown Prince. And the tense situation between Qi Rong and the Crown Prince was obviously not good for the current situation.
"I misunderstood him. The real person who kidnapped me has been knocked out by you!"
After all, he was the current Crown Prince. Even for Qi Rong, harming the Crown Prince would cost him his head.
Although this person was annoying, she didn't want Qi Rong to die like this...
Qi Yu's face lit up. He said to Qi Rong,
"Seventh Uncle, you've heard it."
Afraid of causing more misunderstandings and troubles, Qi Yu quickly walked to Lin Hai's side and told the whole story from beginning to end.
Lin Hai broke out in a cold sweat. He originally resented Qi Rong for hurting his son, but now he couldn't help but want to kick his son a few times!
His son had caused such a huge disaster. It was his fault for not teaching his son well.
If that old fox Yun Sheng found out, he might skin him alive!
Lin Hai put aside his pride and immediately apologized to Yun Xi, promising that he would never let his son appear in front of Yun Xi again.
But after all, it was his own flesh and blood. When Lin Hai saw his son lying on the ground, almost dying, he looked coldly at Qi Rong and said,
"Prince Xian, no matter what your purpose is for coming to my mansion today, you picked a fight first, seriously injured my son and me later, and even dared to harm the Crown Prince! I'll keep this score for now, and I'll settle it with you in the future!"
Facing Lin Hai's threat, Qi Rong snorted disdainfully.
Carrying Yun Xi on his back, he strode out of the door.
With Qi Rong's steps, Yun Xi's body swayed from side to side. She felt even dizzier and more dizzy - eyed. Even her internal organs were being pressed against by his shoulder, and she felt like she was going to vomit bile the next moment.
"Hey, can you put me down first?"
Yun Xi's voice was weak. She was indeed grateful that he had saved her just now.
But now, without saying a word, he carried her like a sack. It really made her suspect his motives.
Qi Rong glanced at her sideways and snorted,
"Now you know it's uncomfortable? Why didn't you think of a way when you were kidnapped by Lin Kang?"
A living person was so stupid that she was captured without knowing how to save herself. Couldn't she even bear this little bit of pain?
Although Qi Rong scolded her with his mouth, he changed the way he held her and carried her on his back directly.
Yun Xi felt like she could breathe again. Anyway, she was weak all over, so she didn't care that Qi Rong was carrying her.
But after hearing Qi Rong's mocking words, she instantly felt wronged and her eyes turned red,
"Do you think I have three heads and six arms, or am I as strong as a bull like you!"
To be honest, everything she had suffered today was because of Qi Rong.
Every time she met him, there was always bad luck!
"I struggled and even wanted to jump out of the carriage, but I couldn't match that man's strength. He hit a big bump on my neck, and my head is still dizzy!"
Yun Xi always hated Qi Rong, but at this moment, she poured out all her grievances and fears.
Even her tone unconsciously took on a bit of coquetry, but she didn't realize it.
"He hit you?"
Qi Rong's eyes turned cold, and his grip on Yun Xi tightened involuntarily.
"No, he didn't,"
Yun Xi sniffed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said angrily,
"I scratched his face and bit his hand."
So, Lin Kang didn't get much of an advantage either.
But if Qi Rong hadn't come, she might have lost her life in the Lin Mansion today!
Qi Rong felt relieved. Thinking of the situation he saw when he entered the door, he felt a little annoyed and asked,
"What's the deal between you and Qi Yu?"
He was eager to get the answer in his heart and didn't realize at all that he was like a jealous husband interrogating his wife at the moment.
Thinking of Qi Yu, Yun Xi frowned and said truthfully,
"I thought he was in the same league as that lecher, so I wanted to strangle him..."
Hearing this, Qi Rong turned to look at Yun Xi blankly, with a strange expression on his face.
"You wanted to strangle Qi Yu?"
His dark eyes stared intently at her. Yun Xi nodded seriously and said matter - of - factly,
"Yes! Although he is the Crown Prince, I can't let him take advantage of me!"
If she was defiled, she didn't even want to live. Who cared if he was the Crown Prince?
Looking at her slender arms and legs and her puffy little face, Qi Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing!
The sound vibrated, and his chest heaved violently. Yun Xi on his back also trembled along with it.
Yun Xi puffed out her cheeks. She knew Qi Rong was laughing at her, but she couldn't figure out what was so funny about what she said.
Suddenly, anger welled up in her. She reached out to twist his ear, but Qi Rong pulled her hand down. Then he walked out of the door, picked her up, and jumped onto the horseback.
Just then, Yun Sheng led a group of people and rushed over angrily.
"Prince Xian, let go of my daughter!"
