With the matter perfectly resolved, Shen Qing walked back to Yu Jiuqing's side, Princess Anning trailing her like a little tail. Yu Jiuqing, who had long been restraining himself, immediately dropped all pretense. He shot Princess Anning a cold glare, grabbed Shen Qing by the hand, and turned to leave.
Princess Anning froze, then practically jumped in fury. "Yu Jiuqing, if you don't have the ability to protect Ah Qing, then stop hogging her! I'm the one who just protected her!"
Although it hadn't been necessary, Princess Anning had indeed helped her. Shen Qing turned to her with a faint smile. "Princess, I'll have a maidservant bring some pastries to you in a little while. I have some other matters to attend to. See you next time."
Seeing that detestable man pull her Ah Qing straight into the carriage, Princess Anning finally stopped in her tracks, helpless and furious. A trace of resentment even surfaced in her eyes.
'That detestable man!'
