But Sun Ce's expression clearly showed that he wasn't even looking at her properly.
After some deliberation, Madam Gu decided to give it a try.
She smiled very politely: "No rush, no rush. Look at me, I'm so flustered to see Lord Wu. Lord Wu..., is my husband going to my sister's room to rest? I'll have the servants bring some snacks and fruit. If my husband wants some wine, I'll warm up a pot of wine."
After saying that, Madam Gu went to take care of it.
Qiao Jingjing stood in the courtyard, looking at Sun Ce and then at the west room behind her.
All she could see was the irritating sight of Madam Gu talking to Sun Ce.
I was filled with resentment.
She's so confused.
How did we end up like this in such a muddled way?
"Go back to your room first. I'll come find you in a bit. I have some important things to take care of." Sun Ce ignored her and went back to the main house after saying that.
Qiao Jingjing saw Sun Ce return.
She turned around and went back to her room.
I looked through the three rooms in the west wing again, inside and out.
Finally, she sat down on the couch by the window, staring blankly at the teacup in front of her.
But in just a short while, Sun Ce actually sent a servant to fetch her.
"Madam Qiao, Lord Wu requests your presence."
Hearing Sun Ce call her, Qiao Jingjing, unaware of what was going on, obediently went to do so.
She stepped out of the west room and, led by the servant, entered the room where Sun Ce usually lived.
The house is tall and spacious.
As the weather gets colder, a brazier has been lit, providing ample warmth.
Qiao Jingjing stepped through the door, but Sun Ce was nowhere to be seen. The servant who had brought her had already retreated to the doorway.
Yu Mei and Zhen Zhu did not come in either.
Qiao Jingjing had no choice but to go inside by herself.
Sun Ce was standing there motionless in front of his bed.
When Sun Ce saw Qiao Jingjing arrive, he opened his hand.
Qiao Jingjing studied Sun Ce's posture for a long time.
"Come here and help me change my clothes."
Sun Ce provided patient guidance.
Qiao Jingjing then realized that Sun Ce wanted her to help him change his clothes.
Qiao Jingjing's face was completely distorted.
She won't.
She walked over and stood in front of Sun Ce, looking down his neck, then his arms, and finally his abdomen.
Then look at his side profile and guess that Sun Ce, like most men of this era, wanted to be a pampered young master at home.
Qiao Jingjing finally managed to untie the thick belt.
He awkwardly helped Sun Ce remove his outer garment.
At Sun Ce's instruction, she brought him the new clothes he wanted to change into.
Sun Ce remained motionless, allowing Qiao Jingjing to help him get dressed in a rather obscure manner.
After a while, Qiao Jingjing's face turned completely red.
I made myself look stupid.
Her fingertips brushed against Sun Ce's chin and neck.
Her arms were wrapped around Sun Ce's waist.
He really is just like Zhang Zhao said back then: broad shoulders and a dog-like waist.
That vigorous aura is really intoxicating.
Qiao Jingjing finally helped Sun Ce tie his belt.
Then, just as her mother had taught her, she placed her hands slightly in front of her and bowed her head, waiting for Sun Ce to give her the next instruction.
So compliant.
Sun Ce had never seen it before.
He reached out and gently hooked Qiao Jingjing's chin.
It's the same face, the same eyes.
It's still that same mouth that can become eloquent and talkative at any time.
But at this moment, he was really not used to having his head bowed and his face down.
Sun Ce's slender index finger hooked around Qiao Jingjing's pretty chin.
Qiao Jingjing finally got annoyed by his gaze.
She tossed her chin.
"If you have nothing else, I'll go back inside now."
Qiao Jingjing looked somewhat fierce and skipped away.
The feeling of this back view is what Sun Ce is familiar with.
