Chapter 1498 His Struggles Were All For Nothing
At this thought, she rubbed the spot on her forehead where she was kissed and let out a silly laugh.
She felt at ease as she rested her head on Lil Qi's pillow. She covered herself with his blanket and allowed his scent to fill her nose.
The sensation was nice and cool, and it smelt as elegant as a snow lotus.
Lil Qi went to Ji'er's room and took another dress. When he saw the packet of medicine again, a look flashed in his eyes as he went into deeper thought about it.
There was a strangely pungent fragrance when he opened the packet. It felt like it had aphrodisiac properties.
That would explain why he had such weak self-restraint.
His eyes narrowed. Ji'er did not need to say anything for him to know that this must be Yaoyao's work.
That girl had always been cheeky and loved playing pranks.
Ji'er must have gotten tricked by her this time.
When Yaoyao passed the medicine to Ji'er, she must not have explained the effects clearly.
Once someone took a whiff of it, it would be like inhaling a raw aphrodisiac and it would make the person feel terribly aroused.
It was fortuned that he was the one who opened the bag, and not Ji'er.
He shuddered to imagine the consequences of Ji'er inhaling that bag of medicine.
Chu Qi clutched the bag in his hand and decided that Ji'er should stay away from Yaoyao as much as possible.
Ji'er felt more comfortable after she changed into a clean dress.
When she saw Chu Qi cleaning up the dirtied covers, she went over to him and hugged him around the waist from behind. She leaned against his back.
Chu Qi stopped moving and wanted to push her away from him. However, he gave up after thinking about it and allowed her to continue hugging him.
Ji'er finally could not hold back any longer and asked, "Have you accepted me, Lil Qi? You won't be leaving me again?"
She was not completely convinced when she asked the question and still felt insecure and worried about it.
Chu Qi paused but did not turn around to face her. His gaze fell onto the dark corner of the bed and there was a look of conflict in his eyes. It took him quite a while to finally say, "Ji'er, would you regret this one day?"
Ji'er immediately released him when she heard this. She walked in front of him and was visibly upset as she said, "I thought I'd made it pretty clear already. I won't regret this. I would never regret this." She then jumped into his arms and hugged him tight around the midsection. "My biggest regret would be you not wanting me. I would listen to my parents and choose another husband, but I will never be happy. Lil Qi, you're the one I like and the only one I want to marry."
Chu Qi was shocked by this. He could not understand how this girl developed such deep feelings for him.
Moreover, he had never expected that he would one day reciprocate them.
He might have already sunk deep into this pit without realizing it when he first met her again after five years of being away.
Ji'er was so beautiful, so adorable, so straightforward… All of his struggles and misgivings were all for nothing.
When she sought him out by herself that night, he could no longer bear to leave her.
The thought of her marrying another person made Chu Qi feel pain and misery. He even felt a little jealous.
Unable to hold back, he grabbed her tightly around the waist.
Chu Qi was ready to accept how despicable and shameless he was acting now.
He would not allow anyone else to covet her or even steal a look at her beauty.
"Ji'er, remember what you said today. You're not allowed to regret this." His voice was soft, but there was a tinge of warning to this tone.
"Alright. If I ever regret it, you can hit me…hit me…on the butt." She had just finished talking when she realized what she was saying. She buried her head into his chest in embarrassment as her heart thumped wildly.
Chu Qi was momentarily stunned, but a small smile then appeared on his lips. "Alright."
Ji'er got even more embarrassed by this and she did not even dare to lift her head.
