Chapter 49. He was more obedient than ever before, his lips and teeth...

Ji Yujing took two more storybooks, one with lotus flowers depicted and the other without. The ripples in his heart caused by this unexpected discovery dissipated.

More than fifteen minutes later, Lin Qingdai was still asleep.

Fearing she would catch a cold, Ji Yujing carried her back to her room.

Mingyue and Mingqian automatically avoided it.

Now they know that the young master prefers to take care of the young lady himself.

He was used to doing everything himself from a young age, and later he led an army, so there was very little he couldn't do.

She slept peacefully, and he lay on his side beside her, tracing her eyebrows and the soft lines of her face with his fingertips. He almost touched her, fulfilling his desire without disturbing her.

That would be excellent.

In the past, Ji Yujing spent most of the year in the army except for important holidays, with many things to plan. He had neither the time nor the inclination for romance.

At that time, he never imagined that one day a woman would be able to easily control him.

She doesn't even need to say anything; he will stay by her side like he does now.

This tranquil haven, compared to the vast lands and the chaotic battles of warring nations, is small and lacks excitement.

But he didn't have the slightest thought of leaving.

Lin Qingdai slept for half an hour before waking up.

Before I even opened my eyes, I felt the familiar warmth and the refreshing scent of wild mint.

She turned to the side, opened her eyes to look at him, and found that he was looking at her too.

His gaze was focused, and in the shadows, there was a hint of infatuation.

Am I good-looking?

Lin Qingdai's words amused Ji Yujing.

"nice."

Lin Qingdai was charmed by his unthinking, flattering response, so she leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.

"General Ji is also very handsome."

It was as sweet as ever, and she always liked to speak close to him.

He could see his own reflection in her bright, clear eyes, and only his own reflection.

He suddenly wanted to kiss her, fiercely.

Now, he no longer needs to restrain himself.

The thought came to him, and he lowered his head and kissed her.

He didn't rush to go deeper, but instead bit her lips and then traced her soft lip lines inch by inch.

The kiss was very gentle, yet it made Lin Qingdai's back begin to heat up.

She reached out and pressed her hand against his chest, preventing him from kissing her.

But that bit of force was practically nonexistent for Ji Yujing.

His kiss continued, and in a moment, he whispered a coaxing sound.

"Dai Dai, open your mouth."

Lin Qingdai's face turned bright red, and she pushed him even harder.

Perhaps knowing she was annoyed, Ji Yujing stopped kissing her and stepped back slightly.

"shy?"

Lin Qingdai: "...It's daytime now."

Can day and night be the same?

Ji Yujing: "What happened during the day?"

Lin Qingdai: "Anyway, you're not allowed to kiss me during the day."

Ji Yujing chuckled inwardly at the sight of such a delicate woman displaying a rare fierceness.

But he maintained a serious expression: "Okay, then we'll kiss again tonight."

Lin Qingdai: "..."

She immediately covered Ji Yujing's mouth, saying, "You're not allowed to speak."

Ji Yujing nodded slightly, agreeing not to say anything more.

As soon as Lin Qingdai let go of his hand, he burst out laughing.

Lin Qingdai knew perfectly well what was being laughed at.

That man is awful.

I don't want to talk to him anymore for a while.

He got up to leave, but was unable to.

Ji Yujing held her lower back with one hand, and she was unable to move.

"Ji and Jing".

She's started calling him by his full name again; that's a sign the young lady is about to get angry.

"Um."

Ji Yujing responded softly, then gently kissed her cheek.

Don't be angry.

"I'm feeling a little unwell."

Lin Qingdai's attention was diverted, and her anger subsided by more than half.

Where does it hurt?

Ji and Jing took her hand and began to feel downwards.

"you……"

Lin Qingdai was very surprised.

It's restless, as if it's never truly satisfied.

"last night……"

Ji Yujing: "I'm worried about you."

Those four simple words struck Lin Qingdai like a chord.

What she perceived as a blissful first night was actually Ji Yujing's restraint. The man residing in her heart was loving her in his own way.

When her emotions were churning, Lin Qingdai said to him,

"I'm not that delicate."

Ji Yujing raised his hand and stroked her hair.

"It has nothing to do with whether you are delicate or weak. If you love someone, you will cherish them."

"Like that restlessness, it's all instinct."

He couldn't control it either.

In an instant, Lin Qingdai felt a sweet warmth in her heart, her eyebrows curved slightly, and she smiled at him, "General Ji."

"Um?"

"I suddenly feel that in less than two years, you will be completely infatuated with me."

Ji Yujing: "Yeah, I'm completely infatuated."

Lin Qingdai: "You have very poor self-control."

Ji Yujing: "Mm."

But in his heart he thought to himself: Miss Lin really has no idea about her own charm.

Having been flattered, Miss Lin Er began to seriously consider her beloved's needs, "So what should we do now?"

Ji Yujing: "Don't move around, it'll be fine in a bit."

Lin Qingdai: "You want it to be alright on its own?"

"Um."

His foolishness only made Lin Qingdai's heart soften more.

She felt that since Ji Yujing could endure so much for her, there was nothing she couldn't give him.

She started kissing him.

She moistened his lips and began to suck and nibble. When she felt she had had enough, she mimicked him and commanded, "General Ji, open your mouth."

Ji Yujing could not possibly refuse such a reward.

He was more obedient than ever before, his lips barely parted.

A soft fragrance wafted in, and she clumsily yet passionately clung to him.

His love was tender, and he surveyed her territory inch by inch.

The kiss stopped, and she lay down, complaining of being tired, acting incredibly spoiled.

Ji Yujing laughed angrily: "Does Miss Lin want to lose her husband on her wedding night if she doesn't care about me now?"

Lin Qingdai: "I've tried my best, the rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yujing sat up and embraced her.

Her hands rested lazily on his shoulders.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you if I'm not feeling well. You want me to be comfortable, and that's what I want too."

"Dai Dai, why do you indulge me like this?"

Lin Qingdai gently kissed his forehead, "Because Ji Ci is the best man in the world."

Ji Yujing: "If you spoil them, you'll have to take responsibility."

Lin Qingdai: "I'll take responsibility."

Ji and Jing's restraint was shattered, leaving nothing behind.

After the commotion, Ji and Jing carried the person into the hot spring.

Originally, she wanted to cleanse herself, but while she was washing, she started making a fuss again.

Before her consciousness faded, she couldn't help but think: General Ji's enthusiasm is something you can't handle without physical strength.

Shouldn't she start exercising?

After they had eaten their fill, Ji and Jing didn't cause any more trouble that evening, and Lin Qingdai was able to sleep soundly until dawn.

After a quick breakfast, the group headed towards Qingyang Prefecture.

Ye Xiaoming rode a few horses, while Ji Yujing accompanied Lin Qingdai in a carriage.

The two chatted casually.

Suddenly, Lin Qingdai mentioned to Ji Yujing those people whom the emperor had "rewarded".

"What do you think we should do with these people, my husband?"

Ji Yujing was taken aback, not expecting her to bring this up at this juncture.

"Daidai doesn't like them?"

Lin Qingdai replied truthfully, "I don't dislike it."

If she doesn't want to see them, she can simply stay away from them; it doesn't bother her at all.

"But General Ji should know why they came."

Ji Yujing: "According to Madam's opinion, these troubles arose because of me, so I should be the one to solve them?"

Lin Qingdai smiled at him, her smile both noble and radiant, "Indeed."

Ji Yujing: "What suggestions does Madam have?"

Lin Qingdai: "I married into Lingdong to enjoy a life of happiness, not to be your advisor."

Ji Yujing couldn't help but laugh again, "Then what was the meaning of the brilliant plan that the lady entrusted to the general to bring?"

Lin Qingdai: "General Ji isn't even home, where am I supposed to enjoy myself? Let's finish this quickly so I can enjoy myself."

Ji Yujing couldn't win the argument: "Fine, leave this to me. I'll handle it without upsetting Madam."

Lin Qingdai: "General, your methods are superb, I am at ease."

With that, the matter was considered closed for Lin Qingdai.

She took out a picture book, unfolded it, and said to Ji Yujing, "I don't know what the owner of this bookstore has been doing. It's been months, and we haven't seen any new books published."

Ji Yujing: "..."

“What does Madam want to know? I’ll tell you.”

"I don't want to listen to your story, I just want to read a storybook."

"Why is that? I'll explain it more truthfully and in more detail."

"Truth equals cruelty."

What do you mean?

"Do you really want to know?"

"Um."

"In my eyes, Ji Yujing used to be a powerful warlord who held great military power, as well as a noble and upright gentleman."

Lin Qingdai had a natural affinity for swordsmen, always feeling that they possessed a noble and aloof quality.

Ji Yujing was the most dazzling among these people, and it was he who solidified her own understanding.

"And now?"

"Now? Ji Yujing is a scoundrel, a barbarian."

The two people were originally sitting facing each other across a small table.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yujing suddenly reached out and pulled Lin Qingdai into his arms. This was his favorite way of holding her, allowing him to keep her firmly under his control.

He bit her ear, "Feeling disillusioned?"

Lin Qingdai: "Mm."

"Lin Qing..."

"I once read a book in which the protagonist was constantly searching for the meaning of love. After many trials and tribulations, she finally came to a conclusion."

What is it?

"Love is seeing through everything and still being moved by the other person."

"Feel it."

She took his hand and placed it over her heart.

"Can you feel it? Every time you hug me, my heart beats faster."

"It's so noisy."

With just a few words, Ji Yujing was soothed and her eyes were filled with smiles.

"Lin Qingdai, you know how to coax people."

Lin Qingdai: "Have you made me feel better? Then you should make me feel better too."

Ji and Jing observed her expression and knew that she already had a plan.

"Madam, what do you wish to do?"

Lin Qingdai: "I want to ride a horse and experience what it's like to be a female knight-errant."

Ji Yujing smiled and said, "Okay."

"Miss Lin, please."

After getting off the carriage, Ji Yujing looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Get down."

Xiao Shao didn't move. "What are you doing?"

Ji Yujing: "Dai Dai wants to ride a horse, you can go sit in the carriage."

"There's a carriage to ride in! Great!"

Ye Xiao dismounted nimbly and handed the reins to Ji Yujing.

"You'd better be careful not to drop your sister-in-law, or your aunt will definitely scold you."

Ji Yujing: "Get lost."

Lin Qingdai was amused by the two brothers who loved and hated each other.

Ji Yujing helped Lin Qingdai onto the horse, and once she was settled, he leaped onto his own.

The movements were clean, crisp, and fluid.

He held her protectively in his arms, his cool breath lingering near her ear, "Ji Ci will accompany you for a while, young lady."

At this point, he stopped messing around again.

A handsome young man, so charming he can dazzle the eye.

Lin Qingdai was tempted and kissed his cheek.

Ji Yujing smiled slightly, then urged his spirited horse forward at high speed.

The wind was strong and stung Lin Qingdai's face, but she didn't care at all.

In that instant, she truly understood the meaning of "iron horses and golden spears, their spirit swallowing ten thousand miles like a tiger".

Those were the most vivid frames of the sickly Dai Dai, who sat in front of the stained-glass window countless times, imagining the world outside.

She may not become a female knight-errant, but she can still travel all over the states of Xun Kingdom.

Ji Ci will stay with her.

She was certain.
