Chapter 1501 - 1501 Chu Qis Jealousy
1501 Chu Qis Jealousy
He was grateful that Jier did not need to leave the Palace. Otherwise, she could have easily been taken advantage of by other men.
Nevertheless, he took the opportunity to educate her. Jier, its okay for you to be a little casual with me, but when it comes to other men, please remember not to act this way. The people out there arent what you imagine them to be. There are bad people who would take advantage of you if you behave so casually with them.
Jier frowned. I wont be this way in front of others. Im only like this with you.
Chu Qi was reminded of Qi Heng from earlier in the day when he heard this; he was not convinced by her.
Dont you believe me? Jier noticed him looking like he disagreed with her and she frowned unhappily.
How do you explain Qi Heng from this morning? Chu Qi tried to hold himself back, but in the end, he could not help questioning her about it. There was unhappiness in his tone that he did not notice.
Jier was taken aback. Do you mean Heng?
Heng? Chu Qis eyes narrowed. She was calling out to him so intimately, which made Chu Qi feel upset.
Weve known each other for many years. Jier did not notice his unhappiness while she was explaining this. Lil Qi, do you have any idea how often Ive visited your room since you left five years ago?
Chu Qi was stunned. You come here every year?
Jier nodded. The memory of him being gone for the last few years made her beautiful eyes darken. You left so suddenly without even bothering to leave me a note. I was so heartbroken, but I chose to believe that you will come back. I believed you would suddenly return one day, which was why I visited this mansion whenever Im free.
There was one day during the eve of the Lunar New Year when I climbed up the wall and b.u.mped into Qi Heng. The Grand Mentor Mansion is nearby and Qi Heng was out for a walk. When he saw me climbing over the wall, he thought I was a thief and tried to catch me. Unfortunately for him, he may be a very knowledgeable person, but he isnt that great with his martial arts skills. Also, it had just snowed and the ground was slippery. He stumbled the moment he tried running, but he still insisted on catching me. I thought he was pretty silly, so I purposely made him run in a circle. In the end, he couldnt run anymore and fell onto the snow, completely spent. Only then did he realize that I was playing a trick on him. He remained sitting there and he cried out of frustration. Afterward, he became Royal Brothers study companion. I guess we got to know each other better because of this.
Chu Qi listened quietly. Knowing that she visited his mansion every year made him feel both pained and touched. When he noticed a happy twinkle in her eye and how relaxed she was when talking about the story of how she and Qi Heng met, he suddenly felt a little upset.
Do you like him? he asked unhappily.
Jier looked at him in shock and frowned. Why would you think that? Youre the only person I like. I dont like any other man out there.
Chu Qi looked slightly happier when he heard this and tucked her into bed. Have a good rest. Ill wake you up when its time to eat.
I dont want to sleep alone. Its cold. Stay with me, Lil Qi. Jier quickly grabbed his hand and spoke coquettishly when she saw him about to leave.
Chu Qi gave this some thought and sat down again at the bedside. Ill accompany you by sitting here. Hurry up and get some sleep.
When Jier saw him refuse to get into bed, she rested her head on his lap. She did not allow him to reject this as she hugged him around the waist and shut her eyes contentedly.
Chu Qi became unsettled when he saw this.
It did not help that her hot breath was gently blowing against him. Even though his clothes s.h.i.+elded him, it still made him self-conscious mainly because her head was much too close to him. She only needed to turn her head slightly and she would end up rubbing directly against him.
However, that girl, Jier, did not realize this at all.
