Chapter 613: Chapter 610: Each Relying on Their Own Abilities_1

Xiao Rongyan had a light smile on his face: "Moreover, you and I agreed that when we are on opposing sides, there can be no personal feelings!"

Bai Qingyan’s greatest worry was always about the two of them.

Hearing Xiao Rongyan say this, Bai Qingyan’s eyes had a hint of a smile. She said, "I apologize because I was so aggressive in front of the Crown Prince just now. But our Crown Prince... If I was too gentle and not aggressive, he wouldn’t have understood the importance of the matter. Just like when I advised the Crown Prince to send troops to aid the Rong, my words were too mild, and he didn’t take it to heart!"

"I understand..." Xiao Rongyan looked around, seeing no one, then tightened the reins and approached Bai Qingyan by a few steps. His deep and dark eyes gazed at the fair and delicate features of the woman before him. His dry, strong hand grasped Bai Qingyan’s slender wrist, his thumb gently caressing her wrist. In a low voice, he said, "If Kid really thinks she was too harsh on me just now, how about making it up to me?"

Xiao Rongyan’s gaze fell on Bai Qingyan’s injured ear. He tugged the unguarded Bai Qingyan, causing her to stumble a step closer to him. Bai Qingyan’s face flushed, and she quickly grabbed Xiao Rongyan’s supporting arm, stepping back, afraid of being seen. Her voice carried a slight warning: "Xiao Rongyan!"

"Don’t move..." Xiao Rongyan took a step closer to Bai Qingyan, used his thumb to rub away the powder hiding the scar on her ear, furrowed his brows slightly, then released Bai Qingyan and took out a small porcelain jar from his sleeve. He scooped out a bit of ointment and gently applied it to Bai Qingyan’s ear.

"What is this?" As Bai Qingyan opened the small porcelain bottle, she smelled a rich, enchanting fragrance.

"This is a secret medicine from the Yan royal court, made from mermaid fat. It is very effective against scars, though the initial smell is very unpleasant. My mother improved its smell to one she liked, working on it a hundred times over, to make it both effective and pleasantly fragrant." Xiao Rongyan used his fingertip to spread the ointment, gently applying it to Bai Qingyan’s ear.

Xiao Rongyan had specially sent someone back to Yan at top speed to fetch it from his brother.

The wind rustled the high tree branches and leaves that extended over the wall with a rustling sound.

"From now on, be careful with everything. Seeing you injured... it really pains me."

His rich voice, amidst the sound of the wind, was particularly moving.

Bai Qingyan’s ear grew hotter and hotter. She did not know how to respond, and her lips involuntarily curved slightly.

Bai Qingyan looked down at Xiao Rongyan’s exquisitely embroidered jade belt at his waist. She quickly averted her gaze and responded, "Hmm!"

After finishing applying the medicine, Bai Qingyan handed him a handkerchief. When their eyes met for that instant, her heart suddenly beat faster.

"Thank you..." Xiao Rongyan took the handkerchief, closed the lid of the small porcelain jar, and handed it to Bai Qingyan. "Apply it twice a day, once in the morning, once in the evening."

"Thank you..." Bai Qingyan took the small porcelain jar, watched as Xiao Rongyan wiped his hands with the handkerchief, folded it and put it into his sleeve. She looked up at Xiao Rongyan.

"Consider it an apology gift for Kid’s aggressive behavior just now." Xiao Rongyan smiled as he took the reins. "Let’s go!"
