Chapter 1665: Chapter 1665: Chongfei Blackened Script 17

Su Yan had just stepped over the post station’s threshold when she happened to see Xun Jing alight from the carriage.

Perhaps because he sensed Su Yan’s gaze.

Xun Jing lifted his head.

Their eyes met.

Xun Jing was slightly taken aback.

Then, his eyes momentarily lowered, and his lips curved into a smile.

"So it is Your Highness."

Su Yan nodded.

Looking at Xun Jing’s face.

The bruise from the punch she gave him had largely healed.

Only at the corner of his mouth, upon closer inspection, could one see a faint scar.

Jin Yi, standing beside Xun Jing, furrowed his brow.

He looked at this princess from another country and found her really unappealing.

It was the first time the Prince had been hit.

And he was more angry because he hadn’t stopped it in time.

He helplessly watched the Prince get struck by this woman.

Su Yan originally intended to buy some seeds.

But upon seeing Xun Jing.

She remembered something.

She walked over.

But as soon as she moved toward Xun Jing.

Jin Yi, previously standing behind him, immediately blocked her path.

Su Yan blinked.

"I have something to discuss with him."

Jin Yi remained indifferent.

At this moment, Xun Jing spoke up.

"Stand down."

Jin Yi responded.

"Yes."

The prince’s orders could not be defied.

However, he remained wary of this princess.

Xun Jing asked.

"I wonder what matter Your Highness wishes to discuss?"

Su Yan leaned in, lowering her voice.

"Could you return the golden hairpin I gave you as an apology last time?"

Xun Jing listened and paused.

Not knowing why, his smile grew deeper.

He spoke.

"Is Your Highness asking to take back the apology gift?"

Su Yan took another hairpin from her bun.

This hairpin was also golden but was shaped like a flower.

The craftsmanship was exquisite, clearly remarkable at first glance.

She said earnestly.

"This one is for you."

A distinctly articulated hand reached out and took the hairpin from her grasp.

His cold fingertips brushed against her palm.

Xun Jing glanced up at her but said nothing.

Then, his attention returned to the golden hairpin.

He held it for a while, then spoke.

"Since it was given, how is it appropriate to take it back?"

Su Yan listened and remained silent.

So, this means he doesn’t intend to return it?

Then Xun Jing’s voice slowly came forth.

"Does Your Highness believe it’s fitting to ask for an apology gift back?"

Su Yan.

"That item is rather important."

Xiao Tao said the hairpin represents her identity and can’t be lost.

So she thought about exchanging it with him.

Both are gold, so no difference.

After hearing Su Yan’s words, Xun Jing looked up at her.

"Is Your Highness saying you picked something casually when apologizing to I, without much thought?"

Su Yan nodded.

"Yes."

Xun Jing lowered his gaze, playing with the hairpin in his hand.

After a moment.

He spoke, his voice gentle.

"It seems Your Highness didn’t intend to sincerely apologize; the gifting of the hairpin was a mere expedient."

Su Yan.

"Uh..."

She had encountered him suddenly that day.

Of course, the subsequent apology was unthinking and spontaneous.

Therefore, Xun Jing’s words left her unsure of what to say.

Xun Jing’s smile diminished.

"Was Your Highness originally intending to fob I off?"

Su Yan.

"No."

"Was the golden hairpin personally given by Your Highness?"

"Yes."

"I don’t wish to exchange this golden flower hairpin, is Your Highness planning to make things difficult for Xun Jing?"

"No, I won’t."

Xun Jing nodded.

His smile slowly returned to his face.

Then he reached out and placed the golden flower hairpin in Su Yan’s bun.
