The scoundrel's gaze was too intense, making Situtu Xueer's heart churn with disgust. She said to Situ Yongjie, "Father, I must take my leave. The Prince is still waiting for me at the mansion!"
Situ Yongjie was taken aback for a moment, "So soon! You've just returned and haven't even had a meal!"
"No need, there's plenty of time in the future. I'll come back often to keep you company, Father." As she spoke, Xuexue's eyes glanced, intentionally or not, at the Fourth Prince beside her. The implication was clear: the Fourth Prince kept looking at her with affection; staying longer would surely put her chastity at risk.
Situ Yongjie also realized this and quickly nodded, "Very well, the Prince has just recovered; you should return to take care of him."
"Alright!"
Xuexue stood up, ready to head back to the War Prince's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince also stood up, his bewitching eyes staring straight at her, "Miss Xuexue, I'm on the way. Why don't I escort you back?"
