Lin'an batted her charming eyes and exclaimed in surprise, “Running Dog, you sure are quite confident.”

Xu Qi’an discreetly positioned himself between the two princesses, forcing a wry smile as he said, “Your Highnesses, please don’t quarrel. We’re surrounded by outsiders. Let’s not become a laughing stock.”
