Under the pale moonlight, Su Qing wore a golden silk embroidered robe. His hair was tied back with a red ribbon and a black hairpin, and a white handkerchief was draped over his face, obscuring his features.
Only the Lycoris radiata at the corner of his eye was faintly visible, exuding an innate nobility and languor. The moment he appeared, many eyes turned toward him.
Bai Xin fell silent. It was a good while before she spoke.
"N-No, I don't mind."
For some reason, her bravado faltered.
Su Ye felt a little awkward as well. After all, she'd taken the man's money to be his protector.
And yet, she'd brought an entire entourage.
Su Ye spoke in a very serious tone. "Don't worry, I'll protect you well."
At this, Bai Xin looked at Su Qing and began to ponder.
'The Prince himself is here, so… shouldn't his Hidden Guards be here too?'
'It feels like I'm getting a huge bargain.'
At that, Bai Xin's fear of Su Qing lessened considerably.
