Kapitel 178

Xi Lingchi's words were cold, and Zi Yi trembled. He had frightened her. In all these years, probably no one had ever dared to frighten her.

She climbed up to me for courage: "Qianqian, he's being mean to me."

Being stern with you is fine, it saves you the trouble of taking risks, but seeing his pitiful look at me, I couldn't bear to scold him, so I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

"I missed you." His complexion returned to normal, and he climbed up the tree.

"That's rare." It's rare that you're so thoughtful.

"Hehe." Her laugh wasn't entirely honest, but it was actually quite useful when I saw it.

"go out."

Taking advantage of my presence, she didn't take Xi Lingchi seriously: "If you want to leave, then leave. What are you yelling about!"

Look how arrogant they are.

I won't give Gong Zhi a second chance to scare Zi Yi. "Don't let it happen again!" If you scare her too many times, she'll become afraid, and if she's afraid, she won't be happy. If she's unhappy, she won't smile, and if she doesn't smile, she won't be cute. And if he's not cute, you can't afford to be with him!

"who is he?"

Who she is is not important; what's important is that you can't afford to mess with her.

She timidly moved my hand away and climbed onto my lap, feigning pitifulness.

I froze instantly. Did she even know what she was doing?! I'm a man, not a eunuch!

She looked at Xi Lingchi innocently, then at Gong Zhi, bit her finger, and snuggled into my arms.

The slightest movement from Gongzhi brought her even closer to me; she curled up in my arms, observing the world from my perspective.

...

If only she could stay like this forever—so adorable, so captivating, so in need of protection, so easily making my heart ache with pity.

I rearranged the teacups, hoping the person in my arms would appear between the crisscrossing edges of the cups...

"thirsty."

Is she thirsty? I picked up the teacup and brought it to her lips, not wanting her to go to such trouble for such a small thing.

She peeked out, cautiously glanced at the stranger, and then opened her mouth to drink her tea.

Xi Lingchi was puzzled, Gong Zhi was displeased, and Lü'er harbored murderous intent.

I laughed: "Cute little one, you're so happy it's enviable, I'm envious too."

She pushed my hand away and refused to drink a second sip.

I frowned, not wanting her to ruin the atmosphere. "Can drinking water cause indigestion?"

"Of course, people don't like to be seen drinking water."

I chuckled. So he was holding a grudge. "How about letting them out?" I said. If you want, we can clear the place out whenever you wish, you can leave you and me here.

"What did you say!" Gong Zhi exclaimed angrily.

She immediately hugged me tightly, buried her head in my chest, and said, "Qianqian, he scared me to death."

Before I could even enjoy the pleasure of her coquettishness, Gong Zhi dared to ruin my rare good mood. Before he could even make a move, I had already taken action...

After Gong retreated, he dared not glare at me, but instead glared at Ziyi.

Ziyi lowered her head and snuggled closer to me. She wasn't afraid; she just found it fun and was entertaining herself in a safe space.

Xi Lingchi asked, "Shen Ziyi?"

I wasn't surprised that he guessed it; anyone with a discerning eye knows her. She can spread the word throughout the world without ever leaving her home.

Upon hearing this, she sat up straight with an air of self-importance and swayed from side to side.

I quickly pressed her down. Did she really think I was a eunuch? "Don't move." In front of you, my self-control is getting weaker and weaker.

"No," she pouted, speaking in a childish tone.

"Should I ask you to get off here?" I suspect you're doing this on purpose.

She touched her nose and obediently wrapped her arms around my waist.

"Miss Shen, don't you feel that your behavior was impolite?"

She started thrashing about again: "What kind of demon dares to cause trouble in front of your great-grandfather!"

I quickly held her down; this girl just can't stay still!

"When you're out in the game, you have to follow the right boss." She was very proud of herself, swinging her legs, looking up at the sky, behaving arrogantly.

She knows a lot; she even knows the secret of the succession to the throne of Westwind. She has to look at everyone; she knows they dare not do anything to her. She's so smug, leaning proudly in my arms.

"Get down. I am not used to such an ugly and humble appearance."

I suddenly realized: Was I being too good to her? Looking at her now, she seems to look down on the world.

She looked up proudly and asked me, "Is Chouqian used to it?"

I asked myself honestly, am I used to it? Haven't I told myself not to compromise with her? Haven't I warned myself every day not to spoil her?

She is Shen Ziyi, the kind of person who shines like the sun when given a little sunshine.
