Guan Songyuan lowered his lashes, but his gaze lingered on Huo Mingyan's embroidered shoes.
As if sensing something, Huo Mingyan hurriedly tucked her embroidered shoes under the hem of her dress and shot Guan Songyuan a bashful yet annoyed glare.
Guan Songyuan chuckled, "Your Highness, do you plan to check on Young Master Huo and Princess Zhaoning? It's such a dark and windy night; I truly fear they might act recklessly and cause irreparable consequences."
"Of course I will." Huo Mingyan stood up gracefully, a touch of arrogance in her poise. "They say the young ladies of the Capital are well-mannered and cultured, but I see that's not always the case. If Shen Yinning truly dares to seduce my younger brother, I will be the first to spare her no mercy!"
Distracted, she accidentally stepped on her own dress hem.
"Careful, Your Highness!" Guan Songyuan reacted swiftly, stepping forward to catch her in time.
The man's warm and broad hand pressed firmly against Huo Mingyan's waist.
