I roll my eyes and protest: “What do you mean your room? It’s my room now, okay!”
“Is there a difference?” He quirks his mouth, looking at me with a mischievous gaze that makes me feel uneasy.
“Of, of course not!” I lower my head shamefully!
The people in this prince’s residence are more interesting than the next; it seems that in the days to come, I should not be too bored.
The next morning, the spring light was beautiful, birds chirped, and flowers were fragrant!
I deliberately got up early and went to the study to find Qi Chenxuan. The emperor had given him three days off from morning court, so I wanted to seize the opportunity to have him take me out of the residence to explore.
The room I’m living in now was his previous bedroom, not far from the study, separated only by a corridor. When I pushed the door open, that guy hadn’t even gotten up yet. The maid serving outside said he had been reading late into the night. I curled my lips dismissively.
That guy was sleeping deeply and didn’t even notice when I entered the room. I looked around and didn’t find anything special, so I got bored and half-squatted in front of his bed, propping my chin and examining his sleeping face.
I have to admit, this guy is really quite handsome. Distinct features, clear contours, fair and delicate skin that even I, as a woman, would be jealous of.
Long eyelashes like two fans spread across his eyelids, a high nose bridge, sensual thin lips…
Looking at him made me feel extremely unbalanced. I curled my lips and gave my final evaluation without courtesy: Damn, the more I look, the more he looks like a pretty boy!
The person originally sleeping peacefully stirred, his long eyelashes fluttering, suddenly opening to reveal a pair of sharp black eyes, staring directly at me and asking: “What is a pretty boy?”
“Uh?” I couldn’t help but be startled, falling onto the floor, glaring at him unhappily: “It means your face is very white!”
Qi Chenxuan slightly parted his lips, revealing a row of neat, small white teeth, laughing wickedly: “Born this way, can’t help it. Some people will never be able to envy this in their lifetime!”
“Who said I envy you!” I immediately retorted defiantly.
The person blinked, laughing even more triumphantly: “Did I say it was you? Why are you in such a hurry to admit it?”
“I…”
I was suddenly speechless, can only glare at him with a flushed face!
Seeing me silent, he continued: “By the way, you came so early, you’re not here to peek at me, are you?”
Peek?
I blinked in disbelief, wondering if I’d misheard. The next second, I sprang up from the floor, pointing my index finger at him, curling my lips disdainfully: “Qi Chenxuan, don’t go too far. Narcissism has its limits! Do you think you’re someone special? You’re flattering yourself too much!
Qi Chenxuan was stunned, his shoulders beginning to shake…
"You..." Qi Chenxuan was directly speechless, probably having never seen such a bold woman in his lifetime...
Seeing him sitting motionless, I impatiently urged again: "Hey, have you sat enough? Do I need to personally help you dress before you'll get up?"
Upon hearing this, that guy gave a roguish smile, looking pleased: "Okay, since you want to so much, this prince will reluctantly let you serve me once!"
"Go die!" I angrily threw the blanket back at him, glaring: "If you don't get up, I'll have Shui'er come serve you from now on!"
"You..." Qi Chenxuan gritted his teeth, finally compromising: "Forget it, this prince won't argue with a woman. Let the maids outside come help me change."
I shrugged, looking innocent: "Sorry, I've already sent them all away. Which means, now no one will come help you dress, so you'll have to do it yourself!"
"In that case!" Hearing this, the guy actually pulled up the blanket, preparing to lie down...
I quickly grabbed him: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Qi Chenxuan looked matter-of-fact: "Since no one will help this prince dress, this prince will just continue sleeping!"
I rolled my eyes: “You’re a grown man, can’t you dress yourself?”
Qi Chenxuan raised an eyebrow, sounding deliberately cocky: “Sorry, this prince has never dressed himself since birth!”
I scoffed: “Just because you haven’t before doesn’t mean you can’t. Why not start trying from today?”
The guy looked like he’d heard something horrifying, eyes wide: “Why should I do it myself?”
“Because…” I couldn’t answer immediately, which made his look of triumph even more pronounced! Right, he’s a prince, and will be emperor in the future, with plenty of maids to serve him, so why would he need to do anything himself!
After thinking, I stubbornly insisted: “Anyway, you’re dressing yourself today!”
“No way—”
He rudely rolled his eyes, coolly dropped two words, then turned away…
Damn woman, actually playing me.
As time passed, I grew impatient, reluctantly pushing him: “Qi Chenxuan, are you getting up or not?”
Seeing no response, I turned angrily, “Fine, if you won’t go, I’ll go myself!”
“Wait here for one incense stick’s time!” Just as I stepped out, my right wrist was suddenly grabbed by another hand, and the guy reluctantly lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
Seeing his childish expression, I couldn’t help laughing. Qi Chenxuan frowned, looking displeased: “Woman, what are you laughing at?”
I quickly shook my head, obediently sitting aside, smiling: “Prince, please hurry. Let me know if you need anything!”
“Really?” The guy had a mischievous look!
“What really?” I looked puzzled.
Qi Chenxuan blinked, smiling innocently: “You said to let you know if I need anything. I have something I need your help with right now. Will you help?”
I suddenly had a bad feeling, looking warily: “What do you want?”
Qi Chenxuan pulled the corner of his mouth, smiling innocently: “This prince has truly never dressed himself. Why don’t you help me this time!”
I immediately rolled my eyes: “Don’t even think about it!”
Qi Chenxuan wasn’t angry, just raised an eyebrow with a determined look: “One day, this prince will make you willingly help me dress!”
I dismissively rolled my eyes: “Then you can keep waiting!”
Qi Chenxuan might have spoken unwillingly, but his hands moved quickly, soon fully dressed. I then stepped to the door, opened it, and instructed the two maids outside: “Bring hot water. The prince needs to wash up!”
Turning around, I saw Qi Chenxuan standing behind me with a dark face, glancing at the departing maids and glaring at me angrily: “Damn it, didn’t you say no one was outside?”
I pursed my lips, looking innocent: “I did send them away. Who knew they didn’t actually leave!”
Oh, I know, the maids must think I have no status as a side consort, so they didn’t take my words seriously!”
Unexpectedly, he just rolled his eyes: “Enough, stop playing pitiful. The maids in my prince’s residence aren’t like you; they wouldn’t dare be so improper!”
He stuck out his tongue at me, making a defiant face and said: “Isn’t it because I have no manners that you married me? Otherwise, with so many maids in the mansion, you could have just married anyone else!”
Qi Chenxuan glared at me angrily and said: “You wretched woman, don’t be so smug. One day, this prince will make you willingly submit to me!”
I shrugged nonchalantly and said: “Let’s wait and see who submits to whom! However, I advise you not to be too confident, or you might find it hard to bear when you lose—”
“You…” Qi Chenxuan was provoked and couldn’t help glaring at me: “Do you dare to make a bet with me?”
I narrowed my eyes and coolly looked him over: “You’re not thinking of betting on who falls in love first, are you? Please, how unoriginal!”
“Who said I wanted to bet on that?” Qi Chenxuan’s disdainful voice came coldly, “Your imagination is truly too wild.”
I’m stunned!
