Chapter 147 A little uneasy
Seeing that Chu Ci had finally spoken, Liu Qing felt a glimmer of hope and quickly said something.
“I have fallen in love with you, General, at first sight, and I have always hoped to serve by your side. I know you already have a master, but I will never compete with him for his favor. I will be very obedient, I only ask that you give me a chance…”
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Ci had already mounted his horse and was about to leave.
Liu Qing took a few steps forward anxiously, her brows furrowed, her expression pitiful, like a lily blooming in the night.
"General, is it that our lord is unwilling? I can discuss it with him properly. I really have no other intentions, I just want to stay by your side..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci, who was riding on horseback, instantly changed his expression. He looked down at Liu Qing with an unusually fierce gaze, like a raging beast, exuding a chilling aura.
“If you dare to appear in front of my husband and upset him, I won’t hesitate to rip out your tongue myself.”
After saying this, Chu Ci didn't look at Liu Qing again, and without hesitation, he cracked his whip and galloped away.
Liu Qing stood there, her face as pale as paper, her heart as cold as ashes.
Not far away, the Seventh Prince happened to see the whole scene.
He observed quietly for a while, then exchanged a glance with the nanny beside him.
After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Go and investigate Chu Ci's husband."
The wet nurse immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
When Chu Ci returned home, he opened the door and saw that Shi An had already woken up and was sitting on the edge of the bed, absentmindedly embroidering.
Chu Ci felt a chill run through her. She quickly walked to the bedside, gently pulled Shi An into her arms, buried her face in his neck, and greedily inhaled his fragrance.
It was a unique flavor belonging to Shi'an, which made Chu Ci feel extremely at ease.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Shi An, you smell so good..."
"My wife..."
Hearing the slight grievance in Shi An's voice, Chu Ci immediately became alert, sat up straight, gently patted Shi An's shoulder, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Shi An seemed a little listless. He lowered his head slightly and said softly, "Song Yin came by earlier and chatted with me."
Chu Ci's first reaction was that something had happened to her senior sister, but Shi An's reaction didn't seem to confirm it.
"What happened?"
Shi An explained, word by word, "One of Song Yin's cousins wasn't doing well, so he came over and chatted with me to relieve his depression."
What happened to my cousin?
"After he became pregnant, his wife took several concubines and no longer loved him. He couldn't bear it and threw himself into a well, but fortunately he was rescued."
After hearing this, he tried to assume that Chu Ci's gaze was also on someone else.
In an instant, pain and grievance surged into his heart like a tide, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He gazed at his wife, his eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness.
"What are your thoughts on this matter, my lady?"
The man stared intently at Chu Ci, afraid of missing even the slightest reaction from her; he was extremely nervous.
Chu Ci naturally understood Shi An's worries, and she bent down to kiss her husband.
She naturally placed her hand on his waist, gently stroking it to soothe his somewhat out-of-control emotions.
Shi An's face flushed slightly at Chu Ci's gesture.
But he did not back down because of this, and stubbornly waited for Chu Ci's answer, as if only a promise from her in person could slightly alleviate his inner unease.
"Shi An, you know me, I only want you."
Shi An's eyes trembled upon hearing this, and she pressed on, "You're not just trying to comfort me?"
Chu Ci's gaze was open and honest. "Of course not. It's my promise, a promise that I will definitely keep."
The man remained silent for a while after hearing this, seemingly deep in thought.
Seeing this, Chu Ci did not urge him, but waited quietly, giving him enough time to think.
After a long while, Shi An finally spoke again, his voice trembling slightly: "My lady, what if I die? Will you have someone else?"
"No, I'll die with you."
This is Chu Ci's true feeling; she can't live without Shi An now.
Of course, Shi An couldn't live without her.
The two of them are now like trees intertwined, sharing roots and soil.
Inseparable, intertwined, sharing life.
Upon hearing this answer, Shi An's eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears.
He wanted to tell Chu Ci not to die with him, but to live well.
But he knew he couldn't change his wife's mind.
Moreover, he selfishly doesn't want to change.
He didn't want Chu Ci to belong to someone else after his death, to be intimate with someone else, or even to have a child with someone else.
He only wanted the Chu Ci to belong to him forever.
This idea was unacceptable to the world, but he couldn't care less.
In the flickering candlelight, their eyes met, and they gazed at each other in silence for a long time.
Finally, a gentle smile bloomed on Chu Ci's face. That smile was like the warmest sunshine in spring, shining on Shi An's heart and dispelling the gloom in his heart.
"Shi An, don't be afraid, we'll always be together."
Shi An's complexion improved somewhat. She took Chu Ci's hand and placed it against her cheek, gently rubbing it, like a young animal that needed comforting.
"My lady, even if my body changes after I get pregnant, my youth fades, and I become unreasonable, will you still love me forever?"
Chu Ci nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes."
Before she finished speaking, she leaned closer to Shi An, nuzzled his nose, and, with a smile, coaxed, "Want a kiss?"
This question seemed to ignite a flame deep within Shi An's heart, instantly burning away all reason.
"Yes, I want a kiss!"
Shi An's response completely dispelled Chu Ci's inhibitions, and she quickly lowered her head to kiss the man's lips.
Shi An eagerly cooperated and enthusiastically welcomed the invasion of Chu Ci.
Their kiss was as intense as a storm, the surrounding air seemed to be ignited, filled with a fiery atmosphere.
Chu Ci's right hand gripped the back of Shi An's head tightly, preventing him from escaping, while his left hand deftly tore open Shi An's belt.
As the belt loosened, the clothes slipped off, and soon the man was left wearing only a thin undergarment.
The slightly chilly air made him even more sensitive.
Chu Ci's hand stroked Shi An's back, and the warm, smooth touch made her reluctant to let go.
However, Chu Ci did not intend to tire Shi An out too much today. He didn't fuss for too long, only coming once before taking Shi An to rest.
