Chapter 1676 - 1676 Don’t You Need Me To Wait On You?
1676 Don’t You Need Me To Wait On You?
He gulped down two cups of cold tea, but it did not help.
Chu Qi looked at the moon outside and considered returning to the room immediately, but he was worried about Ji’er making fun of him for being so impatient.
At this thought, he forced himself to calm down. He took out a book on military strategy and opened it in front of the window. He began to read while standing there.
The boring book worked—it ended up calming him down.
When he was finally composed, he started to study the strategy more seriously.
Not long after that, Tong’er came knocking on the study room door and reported, “General, the princess is inviting you back to her room.”
Chu Qi immediately flung the book away and strode out of the study.
He slowed down when he was about to reach Ji’er’s room.
The thought of Ji’er waiting inside for him made Chu Qi clench his fists. He felt even more nervous than last night.
When he walked in, Ji’er was sitting in front of the mirror of the dressing table, combing her shiny, dark hair.
She immediately turned to look at him when she heard his footsteps and gave him a gorgeous smile. “You’re back, Lil Qi.”
A stunned look appeared in Chu Qi’s eyes when he saw the girl sitting there.
He knew that Ji’er was beautiful, but when she was dressed up like this, she looked even more stunning than ever.
Her long hair fell gently over her shoulders and a vibrant peony was inserted in her hair. There were no other accessories besides the flower.
The peony was elegant and brightly colored. It was more suitable for an older woman, but when decorated in Ji’er’s hair, it suited her quite well.
She was beautiful and elegant, just like the peony, which was known far and wide to be gorgeous and fragrant.
Chu Qi had never thought of himself as a lustful man, but the moment he saw a beauty like Ji’er, he had to admit that he was but an ordinary man.
“Do I look nice, Lil Qi?” Ji’er stood prettily in front of him and smiled a little bashfully.
Chu Qi gulped. “Very much so.”
Ji’er lowered her head and smiled. She gave him a push and insisted, “The hot water is ready. Hurry up and take your bath.”
Chu Qi took the opportunity to hold her hand. He hesitated as his handsome face turned a light shade of red, and said, “You can stay in bed first. I’ll come over after I’m done with my bath.”
Ji’er paused slightly in her steps. When she saw the man blushing, she immediately understood something and could not help chuckling.
“You’re shy, Lil Qi.” Her tone was playful. “I’ve already seen everything last night, anyway.” With that, she leaned in close to him and circled her arms around his waist, saying softly, “Big Bro Lil Qi has a great body. I like it very much.”
Chu Qi’s body stiffened and he felt a bolt of electricity shoot through him from his tailbone, spreading to his entire body.
He grabbed her hand and his voice became extremely husky. “You’re playing with fire, Ji’er.”
“You’ve noticed.” Ji’er stared back at him brazenly with a slightly defiant look. Chu Qi’s temple throbbed a bit and he wanted very much to teach her a lesson immediately.
However, he calmed himself down and gripped her by the shoulders, pushing her toward the bed.
“Lil Qi, don’t you need me to wait on you?” Ji’er sat in bed and looked at him with her beautiful, shiny eyes. A smile appeared on her lips.
Chu Qi removed his outer robe and hung it on the folding screen. When he heard her words, he turned back to glance at her. After a thought, he said, “Ji’er, I would advise you to take the opportunity to rest well. Otherwise, you’ll regret it later.” With that, he walked into the bathroom.
Ji’er, “…”
She watched Lil Qi leave in a daze. It took her quite a while to understand what he meant and her face immediately turned bright red with a slight expression of disbelief.
