Jun Chengshen looked at Ning Qing with a slightly awkward expression.

Ning Qing nodded, "This is my eldest brother."

He then turned to the eldest brother of the Ning family and introduced him, "This is the young master of the Marquis's mansion."

When Jun Cheng heard Ning Qing introduce himself as merely a polite and distant young master of the Marquis's mansion, he felt a mix of emotions.

Hmph, very well, one day you'll find your place.

Jun Cheng didn't want to stay, so after saying a few polite words, he turned and left.

After the man left, the eldest brother of the Ning family said, "Little brother, tell me the truth, did that man bully you or not?"

"No, don't worry, brother. Who can bully me?"

Ning Qing spoke with great confidence, but Ning's eldest brother didn't believe him at all. On both occasions when they met this person, he unreasonably pulled his younger brother.

The eldest brother of the Ning family patted Ning Qing's shoulder lightly, "Don't worry, little brother, I'll send you guards in a few days."

Ning Qing quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, he's a very nice person."

The eldest brother of the Ning family sighed: "Alas, my younger brother is still too kind-hearted and unaware of the dangers of the world."

The eldest brother of the Ning family felt that from today onwards, he had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting his younger brother.

Thinking this, he bid farewell to Ning Qing and hurriedly went to find a highly skilled martial artist to send over to protect his younger brother.

Ning Qing watched her eldest brother's weakened figure walk away into the distance.

I thought to myself: Some people may look weak, but in the hearts of their loved ones, they are great.

With his frail shoulders, he bore the weight of his family.

Ning Qing returned to the house, finished her meal, and it was getting dark.

Huan'er had already prepared all the toiletries.

I took off my clothes and took a relaxing bath.

Wearing a bathrobe, I lazily reclined on the tatami mat, looking at my sketchbook under the warm orange light.

Suddenly, a dark figure leaped in through the window, and Ning Qing instinctively threw the storybook in her hand at the figure.

Jun Cheng caught the storybook and smiled faintly at Ning Qing, "Qingqing, it's me."

Ning Qing glanced at him and said calmly, "What is it?"

Jun Cheng walked over and leaned down to Ning Qing's ear, saying, "Qing Qing, guess why I've come."

Ning Qing turned his handsome face away and gently patted his slightly itchy earlobe.

"Guess whether I'll guess or not."

Jun Cheng sat on the couch, his arm around Ning Qing's shoulder.

"Get to the point, don't resort to physical violence."

As he spoke, he patted a paw on his shoulder.

Jun Cheng had no choice but to let go, his voice somewhat forlorn and low and hoarse as he asked, "Qingqing, do you dislike me so much?"

Uh... what's with this sudden tragic character setting?

"Qingqing, are you still holding a grudge against me? I know I did some terrible things in the past, and I'm sorry."

After a pause, he added, "As long as Qingqing can feel better, I will never resist being hit or scolded."

"You can do whatever you want, as long as it makes you feel better."

Ning Qing was no longer angry; she simply watched the little brat perform, wanting to know his purpose for coming here so late at night.

Upon hearing just the last sentence, Ning Qing shamelessly felt a stirring in her heart.

"Can one really do whatever one wants without resisting?"

Ning Qing asked, her eyes shining.

"Yes, yes, Qingqing can do whatever she wants to me without resisting."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ning Qing said without any politeness, "Now take off your clothes and go lie down on the bed to wait for me."

Jun Cheng was slightly taken aback, and a faint blush gradually crept up his ears.

Qingqing still likes him, otherwise she wouldn't be so eager to consummate their marriage.

Thinking it, she slowly walked towards the bed.

Ning Qing was secretly delighted, as she had bought something from Lin Gui that was perfect for the cubs.

This time it can finally be used. I hope the little one isn't too surprised.
