“Go ahead, I will pick you up when it’s over.” Xiao Chen stood by the carriage, raised his hand to touch Jing Yue’s head but stopped when he saw her hair ornaments.

“Xiao Chen… I feel scared now, what should I do?” Jing Yue looked at Xiao Chen with tears brewing in her eyes.

“What?” Xiao Chen was suddenly stunned and confused.

“I’ve heard about what happened between Princess Leyang and Princess Ziling. Do you think it will happen again this year?” Jing Yue looked at Xiao Chen with grievance on her face, “What if I was framed to fail the assessment and disgraced you?”

“…” Xiao Chen frowned as he looked at Jing Yue’s nervous face, his lips compressed.

“Hey… Where are you taking me to?” While Jing Yue was still brewing emotions, Xiao Chen suddenly held Jing Yue’s hand and turned to leave.

“Forget it, let’s go home.” Xiao Chen looked at Jing Yue seriously.

“Huh??” Jing Yue goggled at Xiao Chen to make sure he was not joking, and suddenly felt confused, “Isn’t it more humiliating to give up?”

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll silence whoever dares to speak ill of you.” Xiao Chen looked at Jing Yue and said with his brows knitted.

“Hey…” Jing Yue was deeply touched and smilingly looked at Xiao Chen. This man was always beyond her expectations.

“Well, it’s just an assessment! I won’t be daunted by it. Don’t worry!” Jing Yue loosened Xiao Chen’s hand and said, “Wait for my good news! I won’t let you down!” With that said, Jing Yue ran away before Xiao Yan could react.
