GTB Chapter 125

Jiang Jiuchu tensed up, immediately tilting her head back and widening the distance from Shí Yan, her face flushed as she angrily said:

“Didn’t I shout? Quickly let me go, my eyes are fine, why can’t I blink? Don’t push it too far.”

After she spoke, as if realizing something, she quickly reached out and covered Shí Yan’s mouth to prevent any future troubles.

Shí Yan was amused by her sudden action, muffled laughter escaping from the palm of Jiang Jiuchu’s hand, making her palm tingle.

“Let me go,” Jiang Jiuchu said, her heart trembling from Shí Yan’s laughter, wanting only to quickly get off his lap. She couldn’t bear this position.

At the same time, she didn’t quite understand why this man, who had been fine just a while ago, had suddenly changed today.

Shí Yan retracted one hand that was holding Jiang Jiuchu’s waist, changing it to a clasp, and removed Jiang Jiuchu’s small hand from his mouth.

“Why cover my mouth for no reason?” Shí Yan said, his handsome face slowly approaching. “Are you reminding me of something?”

Jiang Jiuchu looked at the increasingly close handsome face, at those eyes filled with aggression, and felt alarmed. Considering all his actions today, warning bells rang loudly in her mind, feeling that this man might just…

Her small face immediately wrinkled, revealing a pained expression, “Ah!”

Shí Yan paused his approaching handsome face, immediately retreating and asking urgently, “What’s wrong?”

“My leg cramped.” Jiang Jiuchu thought of how her grandmother’s leg cramps occurred suddenly, so she imitated her, hoping to get Shí Yan to let her go.

When Shí Yan heard it was a leg cramp, his expression softened slightly, but then he looked at Jiang Jiuchu suspiciously. Was she really getting leg cramps at such a young age?

“How could you suddenly get a leg cramp?”

Jiang Jiuchu directly imitated her grandmother’s posture, using one hand to support herself on the nearby table and the other to grab Shí Yan’s wrist, saying:

“It’s probably from riding the horse today. I haven’t ridden a horse in over a year, my legs were already sore, and your thighs are so hard, plus you held me down and wouldn’t let me move, so of course it cramped up!”

She finished speaking in a blaming tone, looking as if she couldn’t take it anymore. “Quickly help me to the chaise lounge.”

“Oh.” Shí Yan saw her legs seeming to be unable to exert any strength, and it didn’t seem like she was faking it, so he gently picked her up and carried her to the chaise lounge nearby.

“How about… I give you a massage?”

Jiang Jiuchu was shocked, not expecting Shí Yan to say that. She immediately raised her hand to stop him. “No, no, please don’t touch my leg, just let it recover on its own.

“Or should I call a doctor to take a look?” Shí Yan asked tentatively, still somewhat doubtful, after all… this leg cramp was happening at the most opportune time.

Jiang Jiuchu looked at Shí Yan speechlessly. “Who calls a doctor for a leg cramp? Don’t worry, it’ll be fine in a bit.”

Shí Yan nodded, turned and walked to the bookshelf on the side, took two books and sat back at the round table, asking Jiang Jiuchu, who was lying there seemingly afraid to move:

“Do you want to read this travelogue?” He had noticed long ago that Jiang Jiuchu was interested in this travelogue of his.

And through this travelogue, he could also guess that her acquaintance with Song Fuge must have been after that auction, otherwise, this travelogue probably wouldn’t have been put up for auction, but would have been given to her long ago.

“Yes,” Jiang Jiuchu said, her eyes shining as she looked at the travelogue in his hand.

Seeing this, Shí Yan directly threw the book towards Jiang Jiuchu, but the force he used was a bit too weak, and it barely landed a step away from the chaise lounge.

Jiang Jiuchu didn’t have time to think, and the moment the book was thrown over, her feet immediately landed on the ground, her body leaned forward, and her hands caught the thrown travelogue.

After catching it, just as she was about to lean back, she noticed Shí Yan’s smiling yet not smiling expression, her face instantly stiffening. Then, she made up an excuse: “I… my leg seems to be better.”

“Is that so? That was quite a quick recovery,” Shí Yan said, then put down the book in his hand and got up to walk towards Jiang Jiuchu.

“It’s quite quick. It’s also my first time having a cramp. I didn’t expect it to hurt so much when it hurts, but it also recovers quite quickly.” As Jiang Jiuchu spoke, she stood up and looked at Shí Yan warily.

“It’s your first time pretending to have a cramp, right!” Shí Yan directly exposed her lie. To be honest, for a moment, he really believed that this woman had a leg cramp and was in excruciating pain. After all, she acted quite convincingly.

Jiang Jiuchu looked at Shí Yan walking towards her and unconsciously moved to the side. “Who said I was pretending? I really had a cramp. Cramps recover quickly anyway. It’s just that Your Highness hasn’t seen it before and doesn’t understand. If you don’t believe me, ask the imperial physician and see if that’s the case?”

“I haven’t seen it, but you have? Who recovers from a cramp this quickly?”

“Of course I’ve seen it. My grandmother is often like this.”

After Jiang Jiuchu spoke, she felt that Shí Yan’s posture was not right, and quickly ran to the side.

“Does Your Highness have something to say today? If you have something to say, just say it directly, don’t be like this.”

The corner of Shí Yan’s mouth twitched. So the way she looked just now was learned from her grandmother’s cramps?

He flashed, and in the blink of an eye, instantly flashed in front of Jiang Jiuchu, his eyes staring straight at Jiang Jiuchu.

He had been enduring not getting close to her all this time in order to get her to serve him and get closer to him.

But facing her every day, how could he remain indifferent? He had to get some sweetness today no matter what, and also test the effectiveness of his efforts.

He looked at her tilting her head and asked, “Just saying it directly is enough?”

Jiang Jiuchu, having no escape, could only negotiate. “Whether it works or not, you have to say it first, right? It’s easier to solve if you say it.”

She naturally didn’t dare to agree to him. The current Shí Yan was clearly in the mood for some daytime debauchery.

She just didn’t know why he was suddenly like this. He clearly wasn’t like this before. Could it be that she had offended him somewhere again?

“I want…” As Shí Yan spoke, he tilted his head and leaned closer to Jiang Jiuchu’s pink lips, the meaning self-evident.

Jiang Jiuchu was shocked and, not knowing where the strength came from, instantly pushed him away and ran to the side, saying:

“Your Highness is probably possessed by a ghost today! Don’t mess around in broad daylight.”

Shí Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Jiang Jiuchu, who had pushed him away and was running towards the door, his eyes darkening. It seemed that he had to scare her a little.

He flashed again, directly picking up Jiang Jiuchu, who was about to run to the door, and carrying her towards the bed.

“Ah!” Jiang Jiuchu exclaimed, her face turning pale as she looked at the increasingly close bed.

“Hey hey! Don’t mess around, that… forced… forced melons are not sweet, I’m not ready yet, can you not suddenly be like this?”

Seeing him not speak, she continued to plead: “… This, this is really too sudden, can you wait? This isn’t appropriate in broad daylight.”
