章節 361: You Can't Leave

Rong Jin immediately put the telepathic bell away.

He then turned around and saw Situ Xingchen.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to come," he said with a forced smile.

The princess smiled graciously, not noticing his anxiety. "I was feeling tipsy after drinking some wine, so I came out for some air. I didn't expect to run into you."

Rong Jin gave her a half-hearted nod as he was still thinking about what happened to Rong Zhen.

Situ Xingchen was watching him, and she asked with uncertainty, "Something seems to be bothering you. What is it?"

Rong Jin hid his troubles behind a wide beaming smile. "I'm fine, Your Highness. Don't worry."

A smile crept onto her cheeks, and she blushed coyly. "Don't stand on ceremony. Call me by my name, please. We are betrothed to be married, so you don't have to be so formal around me."

Her words surprised Rong Jin; her beauty and innocence moved him. "Xingchen."
