1503 Chu Qi Was Already Feeling Tormented

However, Ji’er did not leave his arms. Instead, her hand reached into his shirt. “My hand is so cold, Lil Qi. Help me warm it up.”

Her freezing little hand pressed onto his skin and Chu Qi’s mind went blank instantly.

His body was hot, which was why he did not feel cold when her freezing hand touched his skin. It even felt quite nice to him.

“Alright. Go to sleep.” Chu Qi grabbed her moving hand and urged her to sleep.

“But I can’t sleep,” Ji’er said. “I’ve slept too much in the evening. Accompany me for a chat.”

“What would you like to chat about?” Chu Qi reached out his arm to let her use it as a pillow.

“Tell me about West Water Frontier,” Ji’er said after some thought. “You’ve stayed there for so many years without coming back. It must be fun there.”

“It’s fine. The main thing about it is the relations between Great Shang and the Yan Kingdom. Businesses are conducted between both countries, which is why West Water Frontier is always bustling…”

Ji’er listened quietly and said expectantly, “I really want to see it one day.”

She had never been anywhere besides the Grand Duke Mansion and the imperial holiday homes since she was young.

It was mainly because Lil Qi was not with her that made her lose interest in anywhere she went.

Yaoyao, on the other hand, had snuck out quite a few times, but always ended up getting caught by their Royal Brother and brought home.

“You will one day,” said Chu Qi.

“Lil Qi, take me to West Water Frontier after the Lantern Festival,” Ji’er said as she sounded like she looked forward to it.

“The outside world is not what you imagine it to be. It’s a hard life and it’s tiring, and not as comfortable as the Palace,” Chu Qi immediately tried to talk her out of it. He secretly did not want Ji’er to go to West Water Frontier with him.

Even though West Water Frontier was always bustling with people and quite prosperous, it was still not comparable to the imperial capital.

He did not want Ji’er to travel long on the road and experience hardship.

Ji’er sat up when she heard this. She tried to avoid hurting him as she leaned against his chest. “I’m not afraid of experiencing some hardship and I’m not afraid of getting tired. Should I choose to stay at home forever just because the outside world isn’t as comfortable?”

Chu Qi choked and had no idea what to reply to her.

“I have lived in the Palace for the past fifteen years and have hardly left it, but I’d like to see the world for the next portion of my life and travel around,” Ji’er continued. She wanted to see what the world was like. “Can you make my wish come true, Lil Qi?”

Chu Qi was taken aback. He reached out to caress her face and said to her adoringly, “If the Emperor and Empress allow it, I’ll take you with me.”

“You’re the best, Lil Qi!” Ji’er leaned against him and looked at him, bright-eyed.

Chu Qi patted her back. “Alright. Now, can you go to sleep?”

“Yes,” Ji’er replied and laid back in bed obediently. However, when she looked at his thin, pretty lips, she could not hold herself back and moved in on him for a peck on the lips.

Chu Qi’s fingers moved, but he finally clenched them in self-restraint.

Ji’er did not notice he was acting unusual and she laid in his arms happily.

She yawned. “I’m going to sleep, Lil Qi.”

“Alright. Go ahead,” Chu Qi replied.

It was not long before Ji’er fell asleep as she breathed gently.

Chu Qi moved slightly to the side to watch her beautiful, sleeping face quietly.

In the end, he kissed her gently on her fair forehead. It was a kiss that was free from any desires.

However, Chu Qi regretted it when midnight arrived.

It was not like Ji’er had bad sleeping posture, but it could be because they were too close together, which made her feel hot. She tossed and turned in his arms and even tore open the front of her shirt.

Chu Qi was already feeling tormented and at the sight of her, quickly closed the front of her shirt and shifted her deeper inside the bed.
