Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1491

1491 He Would Definitely Be Unable To Stop Himself

Chu Qi was startled when he caught himself having that inappropriate thought, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

“Lil Qi?”

Noticing the change in his expression, Ji’er tugged at his sleeve.

Chu Qi regained his composure and lowered his gaze to the girl in front of him. His fingers twitched when he saw the worry in her eyes and they eventually came to rest on top of her head, stroking her gently. “I’m fine. Let’s go in.”

!!
Ji’er was stunned–Lil Qi had not touched her so tenderly for ages. Collecting herself, she beamed at him and said meekly, “All right.”

Yaoyao drew close to Chu Qi. “Big Bro Lil Qi, can’t you see me?”

“Only a blind person would fail to notice you, Your Highness.” Chu Qi glanced at her coolly, his tone nowhere as patient as it had been when he talked to Ji’er.

Fortunately, Yaoyao was already used to it, so she was not too offended. However, she could not help saying sarcastically, “Since you’re not blind, then it means you’re giving preferential treatment.” She shook her head and sighed. “You’re so unfair, Big Bro Lil Qi. You’re only nice to Ji’er—it’s as if other people are invisible to you.”

Chu Qi did not refute this.

Ji’er’s entire face lit up with a smile as warmth bloomed in her heart.

Yaoyao, on the other hand, looked as if she had been dealt a devastating blow.

Qi Heng walked over and cast a thoughtful glance in Chu Qi’s direction.

Sensing it, Chu Qi glanced back at him coldly before turning and heading inside with Ji’er and Yaoyao.

Qi Heng rubbed his nose in bewilderment. For some reason, that man seemed to be harboring hostility toward him.

He stared after the man, frowning.

Long Yin’s group made to leave after having lunch in the General Residence.

Before leaving, Yaoyao pulled Ji’er aside and whispered something to her secretively. When Ji’er came out, her face was beet red.

Seeing this, Long Yin reached out to feel her forehead. “Why is your face so red? Are you sick?”

“No.” Ji’er collected herself and quickly shook her head.

Long Yin furrowed his brow, but before he could ask any more questions, Yaoyao pulled him away. “She’s perfectly fine—it must have been the heat. We’re supposed to hang out with Cousin Xue’er, aren’t we? We should get going.”

Qi Heng had noticed Ji’er’s abnormal behavior too, but Yaoyao dragged him off before he could show his concern.

“She said she’s fine, so stop worrying for nothing.”

As they walked away, Ji’er heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Qi came over and frowned when he saw her flushed cheeks. “Are you not feeling well?”

Ji’er jumped when his voice abruptly sounded behind her. In her panic, the object she was holding slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground.

Thud!

“What’s this?” Chu Qi bent over to pick it up.

Ji’er snatched it from him in alarm and stuffed it into her sleeve, avoiding his gaze. “It’s nothing.” However, her heart was thundering in her chest.

Chu Qi regarded her nervous face skeptically. “Really?”

“Really.” Ji’er shook her head while cursing Yaoyao in her heart.

Yaoyao had stuffed a package into her hands before she left.

That girl was always exploring all sorts of perverse knowledge instead of putting effort into studying medicine.

This package contained her newly developed medicine called Passion Waker. She had told Ji’er that if she added it to Chu Qi’s food, he would definitely be unable to stop himself from pouncing on her and so on…

Yaoyao was only fifteen, but she loved collecting strange books and storing them in Ji’er’s bedchamber. Consequently, Ji’er had read so many of these books that she had naturally come to understand what this Passion Waker was.
