Ji Qingrong struggled out of Lu Juan's embrace, staring at him nervously.
"What do you regret?"
"I regret not telling you from the very beginning..."
Lu Juan leaned in close to her ear and murmured, "I'll have your back in everything. Don't be afraid."
Lu Juan's words moved Ji Qingrong deeply.
When a husband and wife clear up a misunderstanding, they grow even closer and more affectionate.
As dusk fell outside, the two found themselves on the bed before they knew it. It wasn't until Ji Qingrong was biting her lip, her hands braced on his waist, that she realized his promise to "have her back" had a double meaning.
「Meanwhile.」
Ji Qingwu had Xin'er lead her to the study.
She needed to carefully draw up a prescription to help her eldest sister recuperate.
Ji Qingwu sat before the reddish-bronze desk, unrolled a sheet of xuan paper, and said to the maid grinding ink, "Xin'er, I don't like having people around when I'm writing prescriptions. You may leave for now."
