eard what he said, she thought to herself, ‘I didn’t know Lu Tingchen was such a sweet talker.’

Glancing at him, she reached out and took the flowers.
“Thank you.”

Resting on one knee, Lu Tingchen pulled her close by the shoulders and leaned forward to kiss her on the forehead.
There was contentment in his low voice as he said, “My pleasure.”

The dampness on her forehead sent another blush spreading across Chu Jiu’s face.

She raised her head slightly to look at him.

From that angle, Lu Tingchen’s features were extraordinarily flawless and chiseled.

Lu Tingchen was certainly worthy of being called, in the Empress’s words, hot.

It was unbelievable for Chu Jiu how they had gone from snapping at each other’s throats to sharing intimacy with each other.

In her opinion, the best way to describe their relationship would be “enemies”.

It was incredible how two people who used to fight every time they met could enjoy such a warm and peaceful moment together.
If the Empress were to find out, she would definitely be shocked.

Lu Tingchen lowered his head, only to see the young woman staring up at him with a glazed look in her eyes.

His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he felt his mouth suddenly go dry.
Ever so slightly, his fingers dug into her shoulder.

He silently suppressed his restlessness, and to distract himself, he asked a little hoarsely, “Do you want to have roast fish?”

“Huh?” Chu Jiu stared at him in confusion.

“There are plenty of fish in the water.” Lu Tingchen turned his gaze away and pointed at the water.

Chu Jiu followed his line of sight.
Sure enough, there were a lot of fish in the water.

Without waiting for her reply, Lu Tingchen stood up.
“Wait here.
I’ll go and catch some fish.”

Chu Jiu wanted to help, but Lu Tingchen stopped her, so she had no choice but to sit back down and watch him catch fish.

With a dagger, he carved a piece of bamboo into a spike.
Then, he stood in the shallow water, the hem of his robe stuffed into his belt and his pant legs rolled up, and bent over to spike fish.

Chu Jiu’s gaze followed him, her frosty eyes soft with amusement to see him behave in such a childlike manner.
