On the next stretch of the journey, Yan Qing no longer paid attention to Ling Hua, nor did he allow her to come close, with an unmistakable "strangers keep out" and "you better shut up" expression on his face.
Ling Hua obediently closed her mouth, seeing that this approach was not working.
She settled down, knowing that with Yan Qing's temperament, she hadn't planned to break through to him that day anyway.
When the carriage returned to Marquis Duanjing's residence, Yan Qing got down swiftly. He didn't wait for her, entering the residence with quick strides, not at all like someone who had drunk enough to get Ling Yunyang drunk, walking sturdily and quickly.
Ling Hua slowly stepped down from the carriage. Liuli reached out a hand to help her and, supporting her as they walked into the residence, whispered, "Miss, with the young Marquis one way in public and another in private, do you feel like you're experiencing both fire and ice every day?"
