Seeing Wen Jingchi coming back from outside with a gloomy face, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you this morning that Chu Weiyue went to find Song Qiancheng, and the two of them were tinkering with something in the room..."

"Then why didn't you say it just now?" His voice was filled with suppressed brutality.

Especially the darkness emanating from his entire body, which gave people a huge sense of oppression.

Shen Mubai shrugged immediately: "Seeing you are so angry, how dare I say anything? Besides, it's better for me not to gossip about this kind of thing."

Wen Jingchi was in a bad mood, his face looked terribly gloomy.

The little girls nearby didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of being implicated.

The food had been reheated at this time, but Wen Jingchi had no intention of eating it.

Especially when I thought of the scene of Chu Weiyue and Song Qiancheng together, talking and laughing, I felt like I was about to explode with the anger held in my heart, and I couldn't vent it out no matter what.

Shen Mubai saw it and couldn't help but tease him.

"I said Jing Chi, it's just Chu Weiyue. I remember that you hated her the most in the past. You even said that she was a complete nymphomaniac and that you felt sick and wanted to vomit when you saw her. Why do you lose your appetite now because of her?"

"This Chu Weiyue is really charming. She is able to charm the Ninth Prince to this extent. I must ask her for advice one day."

I wanted to say more, but when I met Wen Jingchi's cold eyes, I could only shut my mouth obediently.

After a while, he approached Wen Jingchi in a serious manner.

"Brother, tell me the truth, are you really in love with Chu Weiyue? You have to know that the people in the Marquis' Mansion are not easy to deal with, especially Chu Weiyue's eldest brother.

Chu Weiyue is so vicious, she will most likely not allow you to marry another woman after you get married, so you have to think carefully, because this little thing ruined a forest..."

After hearing this, Wen Jingchi was not angry, but immediately sneered coldly.

"You're overreaching a little too far. Take care of yourself first."

After a pause, Shen Mubai rolled his eyes and said, "I have taken good care of myself. There is nothing to worry about."

"What about Miss Song? Don't you care about it? Yesterday I received the latest news that Mr. Song has chosen the son of the Shangshu. He is the famous Mr. Bai in the capital, knowledgeable and talented..."

Obviously, Shen Mubai had heard of Mr. Bai's name a long time ago, and his heart sank immediately.

Instead of teasing him, he grabbed Wen Jingchi's arm.

"Jing Chi, we have known each other for many years and grew up together. For the sake of our past friendship, you must help me get rid of this rival. If Miss Song and I get together, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. I just spoke without thinking. It's my fault..."

He responded by extending his hand and slapping himself on the mouth.

Wen Jingchi glared at him with disdain, turned and left, and even his back exuded a bit of indifference and arrogance.

Shen Mubai was completely panicked and began to write letters back to the capital to inquire about Miss Song.

In the next few days, he had no time to care about Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi.

For two consecutive days, Chu Weiyue either buried her head in reading or went to see Song Qiancheng, and the two of them talked about business while eating.

He spent the day with Song Qiancheng and read at night, so he had no time to pay attention to Wen Jingchi.

It was late at night and Chu Weiyue had not finished his work yet. He held the book and read it carefully while tinkering with his device.

She discussed it with Song Qiancheng and planned to make the device bigger. Now it has taken shape, but it's just a little bit short of being done.

She didn't even notice when Wen Jingchi came in.

It was not until Wen Jingchi sat next to her that Chu Weiyue realized he was here.

He touched his chest and said, "You scared me to death. Why didn't you make any sound?"

She punched Wen Jingchi on the chest in a coquettish manner.

Wen Jingchi held her hand and placed it on his chest, and found that her little hand was very cold.

He couldn't help but hold it in his arms to keep her warm. He glanced at the things in front of him and asked in confusion.

"What is this thing? You and Song Qiancheng tinker with it every day?" His tone was filled with obvious jealousy.

Chu Weiyue didn't think much about it, but sighed helplessly.

"Yes, we have been working hard these past few days to apply this device to the well so that the people can be freed from suffering as soon as possible."

In order to make him believe that he was really doing the right thing, Chu Weiyue took out a bucket of turbid water, poured it into the small device, and then sent the clarified water to Wen Jingchi.

Wen Jingchi's eyes were filled with obvious shock: "I didn't expect that your small device could have such a great effect.

When I looked at Chu Weiyue again at this moment, my feeling towards her was obviously different.

In the past, he always thought that Chu Weiyue was an uneducated young lady who only knew how to chase men every day.

But now I know that she actually cares so much about the people of the world.

How could a woman like this only focus her energy on men!

Suddenly, he wanted to know about Chu Weiyue's past.

It was at this moment that he felt that this woman was full of mysteries, and he couldn't wait to solve all the mysteries.

After coming to his senses, Wen Jingchi put the water in front of him, and the water was indeed very clean.

He put it to his lips, intending to take a bite.

Chu Weiyue was startled and quickly slapped his hand away.

"How can you drink this water? Drinking raw water will give you diarrhea."

"If I don't taste it first, how can I know if your water is drinkable? What if the people get stomachaches after drinking it?"

"You work hard for the people day and night. As a prince, I cannot do nothing to contribute to them."

He really put it to his lips and took a sip, but after a long while he didn't notice any reaction from his stomach.

Chu Weiyue breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but glare at him.

"I told you not to drink, but you still drank. What if you get a stomachache? You are so disobedient!"

Although he complained about her, he was really worried about her safety.

Wen Jingchi smiled faintly and gently touched Chu Weiyue's head: "It's late now, why not study it tomorrow."

"I see you look so worried. How can you come up with something good in this state? You should go to sleep first."

She wasn't feeling sleepy at first, but when she saw Wen Jingchi, Chu Weiyue started to feel sleepy again.

She yawned and buried her head in his arms.

Originally, I just wanted him to hold me for a while, but who would have thought that in just a few moments, I was almost falling asleep.

Glancing down, Chu Weiyue's cute sleepy expression was like a deer in the early morning, beating wildly in people's hearts.

Especially her pink lips and slightly opened mouth, full of huge desire,

Wen Jingchi couldn't help but think of that kiss that gently brushed his lips.
