I was suddenly speechless. I had just lectured Shui’er about not caring about others’ opinions or what they might say. If I now admitted that I didn’t want to attract gossip, wouldn’t that be slapping my own face?
Wei Chi easily saw through my embarrassment and continued to press: “I what?”
Finally, I had to put on a serious face and righteously answer: “Of course not! I just feel we’re not very familiar, and it would be troublesome for you.”
Wei Chi immediately smiled and replied: “You can be at ease. The PrinceYu’s residence has always been on good terms with the Crown Prince’s residence. Moreover, Wei Feng is a close friend of the Crown Prince. Both in terms of sentiment and reason, I shouldn’t leave you here. Besides, it’s just a few steps away and not much trouble. Furthermore, being able to help the Crown Prince’s concubine is my honor!”
I knew I couldn’t argue with him, so I reluctantly pouted: “Then trouble you. I’ll remember this kindness and repay you when I have the chance!”
Wei Chi immediately showed a proud smile and was about to bend down to carry me when a voice suppressing anger suddenly rang out in the alley: “I’ll take care of my own woman myself. No need to trouble Young Master Wei!”
We both turned to look and saw Qi Chenxuan walking leisurely from the other end of the alley, his handsome face clearly showing “displeasure,” his eyes glaring in our direction.
The moment I saw his figure, I inexplicably felt excited. I had thought he hadn’t noticed my cry for help, but unexpectedly, he actually appeared…
When he walked closer, I eagerly asked: “Did you just appear because you heard my cry for help?”
Qi Chenxuan coldly glared at me: “What, are you regretting?”
Could he be jealous?
I frowned, looking at him in confusion: “What do you mean? Why would I regret anything?”
Qi Chenxuan’s face was cold as he replied: “Regretting your unnecessary actions, regretting that I appeared and ruined your chance to be intimate with another man!”
I couldn’t help but frown and interrupt him unhappily: “What nonsense are you talking about? When have I been intimate with another man?”
