When Shang Yiqing returned to the Duke Palaces, it was almost noon. At that time, the weather was sunny, but her heart was covered by dark clouds.

"Princess, the prince is waiting for you in his study." The person who spoke was a servant girl who rarely served by his side, but he did not see Xiao Ru.

Shang Yiqing took a deep breath. When she saw that the study room was getting closer and closer to her, her heart couldn't help but jump. She heavily pinched the back of her hand. The pain caused her face to contort, but at the same time, it also eased her nervousness. She reached out to push open the study door, but when she got close to the door, she couldn't help but stop.

"Don't be afraid, it's just running away from home, isn't it? What's the big deal, even if Fang Zinan is extremely angry, he will only be angry, what can he do to himself? " Shang Yiqing silently cheered himself as he forcefully pushed open the door.

He then took a deep breath and moved his weak legs into the room.

The study room was very clean, it was filled with the fragrance of masts and books. Fang Zinan quietly stood by the window facing the sun outside, his back facing her, his white clothes as white as snow. Hearing the sound of the door opening, his body slightly moved. If one did not look carefully, it would be impossible to tell what it was.

Shang Yiqing suddenly felt that it was very quiet.

Actually, within the Duke Palaces, especially the Duke Palaces' study room, it had always been very quiet. However, this feeling of tranquility, was actually given to her by Fang Zinan.

The light in the study room was sufficient, and when Shang Yiqing's gaze landed on Fang Zinan's slender and straight back, his gaze did not move away.

After being silent for a while, she heard Fang Zinan trying his best to use a cold and indifferent tone: "You're finally back?"

Shang Yiqing did not make a sound, walked to the side of the table and sat down.

Fang Zinan suddenly turned his head, his face looking pale white under the sunlight, he looked even more handsome and gloomy, but his expression was calm, causing people to not be able to tell what he was thinking.

Shang Yiqing had originally thought that he would definitely be so angry that he would fly into a rage. He never thought that he would actually have a face full of peace, neither anger nor joy, and not even a single ripple of shock.

"Where did you go yesterday?" He asked indifferently, as if he was asking a cat or dog. His tone was cold and distant.

Shang Yiqing's apprehension completely calmed down after he asked this question. Since she was already back, he could say whatever he wanted. She looked up at the glazed lamp hanging from the top of the beam, but said nothing.

Fang Zinan turned around and stared blankly for a long time. After a long while, he finally couldn't help but take a glance at Shang Yiqing. He raised his hand, stepped forward, then turned his gaze back.

Especially those eyes.

She was sparkling like a star in the sky, but she was filled with indifference and a faint sadness.

With such a pair of eyes looking at him, Shang Yiqing suddenly felt a sense of weakness in his heart. She was obviously being too popular yesterday, but when she faced him, she actually felt very guilty. She had originally planned that if he tried to denounce her, she would either quarrel with him or start a fight. But now, she couldn't say a single word. On the contrary, she even felt weak in her heart, feeling as if she had lost all hope. What did he mean? Could he be planning something bad? Or had he already thought of a way to deal with her?

Thinking about it, Shang Yiqing could not sit still anymore. He stood up and asked: What are you looking at me for? Just say what you want to say?

Fang Zinan was still staring at her gloomily, but after hearing her words, he smiled faintly, which made him seem as if he was separated from her. When he saw this in Shang Yiqing's eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.

After laughing, Fang Zinan turned and walked over to his side, and sat down on the chair to the left of Shang Yiqing. Shang Yiqing could only see the side of his face, which was as cold and indifferent as his smile.

Damn it! This guy was still pretending to be an old freak. What in the world was he trying to do? He was truly baffled! Shang Yiqing looked back at him, and raised her voice: "Stop pretending, speak whatever you want to say, I'm back now."

Fang Zinan laughed lightly again, he looked out of the window at the masthead tree and asked casually: "You were not back for the day yesterday, and have been with Xiao Tianyuan this entire time right?"

"So what if I am?" Since he already knew everything, there was no way for him to keep it a secret. Thus, he decided to just tell the truth to his heart's content.

Fang Zinan acted as if he did not hear anything, and poured himself a cup of water. Then, he slowly drank it all in small sips.

She could hear the sound of his throat as he drank water. She was surprised, why was it that it was so quiet, and why did he, who should have been furious at the moment, have a calm face, but this feeling of calm was even more terrifying than when he was arguing with her. She only felt a chill on her back and a bitter taste in her mouth, but she didn't know how to deal with him.

Fang Zinan slowly drank a cup of water and placed the cup on the table. A soft sound rang, as if the silence in the study was broken.

Shang Yiqing glared at him fiercely. "Why are you looking for me? If there's nothing else, I'll head back to my room. "

"Are you very familiar with Xiao Tianyuan?" he asked her suddenly.

"I'm not very familiar with him. However, I was saved by him the last time. If it wasn't for him, I think I would have already been bullied by those two scoundrels!" Shang Yiqing curled his lips and said.

Fang Zinan's eyelids twitched, but he did not raise his head. Instead, he slowly extended his right hand and carefully looked at the palm print on his hand, as if he was studying something.

Shang Yiqing turned and walked out. She could not stand this suffocating atmosphere.

"Stop." Fang Zinan shouted softly.

Shang Yiqing's figure suddenly stood there, she did not know what happened, but it was as if she was rooted to the spot. She was clearly about to go out, but after hearing what was said, she obediently stopped.

She turned around, stared at him with wide eyes, and asked a little angrily: "What do you want to do? What are you trying to say? What are you thinking? Can you explain it clearly and clearly? Can you not be so stubborn? "

Fang Zinan smiled lightly again. His smile was depressed and fleeting, as if he was lost in thought.

Seeing this smiling face, Shang Yiqing really wanted to rush up and slap him.

"I'd like to ask, where is the pearl earring in your left ear?" he asked her after he had laughed.

"What earrings?" Although she said that, she couldn't help but touch her earlobes with her left hand. It was indeed empty, when did she get the earrings? She didn't know.
