Chapter 24 Follow me and I will spoil you forever
After returning to Qingsong Garden, the doctor examined her and said that she had just caught a cold from falling into the water and that it was nothing serious. Amber asked the kitchen staff to make some ginger chicken soup for her. Qin Xiaoning had been hungry for several days, so she drank two bowls of the hot soup and felt instantly warmed up. However, she still felt a little weak. She snuggled in the warm fluffy quilt, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Lu Ji had been standing at the door of her room watching. When he saw that she was asleep, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He ordered Amber and Songzhi to keep a good look after her and then went back to the main house.

I was busy looking for someone the past two days and had no time to deal with Xiao Xiao. Now that the person has been rescued, given the prince's temper, he will naturally not let those people off easily.

As soon as Lu Ji sat down, before he could speak, Desheng, who knew his temper, came over and said, "My Lord, the Seventh Young Master hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that he is still breathing, but he is no longer alive."

When Lu Ji heard this, he didn't even bat an eyelid.

Desheng added, "And the servants who followed the Seventh Young Master to bully Miss Qin have been captured. There are six of them in total and they are tied up outside."

Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "Beat them all to death."

Desheng had expected this to happen, so he was not surprised at all. He frowned and said, "My Lord, the Fifth Young Master is still kneeling outside to apologize."

The Fifth Young Master is the son of the Third Madam of the East Mansion. He is just in his early twenties and is a very sensible man. He was accidentally deceived by the Seventh Young Master, causing the Crown Prince's favorite concubine to suffer. The Fifth Young Master felt very guilty. In order to apologize to Lu Ji in person, he condescended to speak softly to Desheng, a servant. Desheng also knew that the Fifth Young Master was wronged. Seeing that Lu Ji was silent, he carefully advised: "Master, the Fifth Young Master was indeed deceived by the Seventh Young Master. The Seventh Young Master lied and said that the Third Madam was dying. That's why the Fifth Young Master left the girls and hurried back to the mansion."

Glancing at his master's face, he said carefully, "The Fifth Young Master wants to apologize to you in person."

"No." Lu Ji was not moved at all and said firmly.

Desheng knew that the prince had a cold heart. Seeing that he could not persuade him, he dared not say anything more and bent down to deal with those servants.

Just as he stepped out of the door, he was stopped by Lu Ji. Desheng thought that Lu Ji had changed his mind about the Fifth Young Master, so he turned back quickly. Unexpectedly, Lu Ji said, "Take those servants far away from the execution. An Ning is resting, don't make a noise and scare people."

Qin Xiaoning slept soundly and did not wake up until the evening of the next day. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Ji.

She smiled at him.

No thanks.

He saved her again, and a simple "thank you" was too thin.

"You finally woke up. I was worried that you would sleep like a pig." He looked at her with a smile on his face. Just like before, he loved to joke with her.

As she said that, she turned around and called Amber and Songzhi in to serve her: "If you still feel tired, eat something before going to sleep."

He was not a talkative man, so he gave her a simple instruction and left her room, going back to the study to deal with government affairs.

It was not until the full moon rose into the sky that Lu Ji came back and stepped into his room, only to see the little girl sitting on his bed.

The woman was wearing a light pink nightgown with a peach blossom pattern, her long black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and her face was shy and timid. When she saw him come in, she gave him a shy smile.

Lu Ji immediately understood what she meant.

Without even bothering to take off his coat, he closed the door and walked towards her with big steps but with some caution.

He held his breath and stared at her with his eyes lowered.

After a long time, the little girl stood up, and her slender white arms slowly climbed up his neck. The man was enveloped by the faint jasmine fragrance on her body, and felt dizzy. He closed his eyes, exhaled slightly, and tried to calm himself down. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear again.

"If you simply want to repay me, then forget it." He looked at her and said.

Qin Xiaoning's face was flushed, she glared at him and said angrily: "You really don't want it?"

As he spoke, he pulled back his arms from around his neck. Lu Ji subconsciously glanced at the shoulder she had just climbed on, and his tone was a little anxious, as if he was explaining to her: "What I mean is, if you are willing to marry me just to repay me, I, Lu Ji, am not the kind of person who would take advantage of others in distress."

"Stop talking, just pretend I wasn't here."

As she spoke, the little girl twisted her waist and was about to leave, but was held back by Lu Ji. He lowered his eyes and stared at her, with an aggrieved look on his face: "What are you doing? You didn't even make your words clear, and you turned hostile just like that?"

Qin Xiaoning lowered her eyes, and muttered coyly, "I've already treated you like this, what else do you need to say?"

"I just don't want to take advantage of you, for fear that you will regret it later." As he said that, he couldn't wait for her to speak, so he raised his hand and gently pinched her delicate chin. His eyes gradually turned red, and his voice became hoarse: "Have you really thought it through?"

Qin Xiaoning raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "If I don't give it to you, can I leave the mansion and get married in the future?"

Hearing this, Lu Ji's face suddenly darkened, and his tone became sharp: "What are you thinking about?" Then he raised his hand and poked her head: "Since you are already mine, even if you are just in name only for the rest of your life, you can never leave."

Qin Xiaoning snorted coldly: "You are such a domineering person."

Lu Ji pulled her forward, glared at her, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Qin Xiaoning looked at him and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Lu Ji, who was always calm, frowned and said angrily, "With such a good man like this prince in front of you, you are still hesitating. What are you thinking?"

It’s not that I don’t want it, nor that I don’t like it, but I feel that I can’t afford it, or I’m afraid, worried that I will be like a moth to a flame, and once I’m involved, it will be difficult to extricate myself.

Seeing Qin Xiaoning remained silent, Lu Ji took two steps closer to her, almost sticking to her, and said with a little impatience in his tone, threatening and tempting: "Qin Xiaoning, let me tell you, if you continue to be so indecisive and exhaust my patience, I might fall in love with someone else. If you come to beg me again, humph! I don't necessarily want you anymore. Don't regret it when the time comes."

Seeing that she was still silent, he ran out of patience and just picked her up horizontally. Qin Xiaoning exclaimed and pounded his chest: "She didn't agree."

Lu Ji said domineeringly: "Why didn't you agree? Your silence means you agree."

He was very domineering when he picked her up, but when he put her on the bed, he was very careful, for fear of hurting her. Then he put his hands on the bed, trapped her under him, and asked her with caution in his tone: "Are you really willing?"

Seeing her turn her head away and remain silent, he kissed her flatteringly: "I know you like me, don't waste any more time, don't worry, follow me, I will spoil you for the rest of your life."

Seeing that she finally nodded, he reached out and undressed her.

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and I will add another chapter today.
