Chapter 139 I coaxed myself
"Theo?" The man's tall and straight figure quickly occupied Qianzhi's entire attention. "When did you come here?"
Theo tried to give Chie a sweet smile, but the irritation still rising in him made his smile look strange.
"I came a long time ago," his tone was sour, as if he had chewed a few tons of lemons, "I was just sitting there waiting for Qianqian to finish talking about the potion, but Qianqian was so slow."
This sentence actually highlighted his sensible and well-behaved attitude of not disturbing others while at the same time aptly expressing his unhappiness at being ignored by Qianzhi.
This little trick really made Qianzhi look a little apologetic.
"Cough cough cough—" Before she could speak, Noah, whose body was pulled to the side, suddenly let out a loud choking cough.
Even her jade-white face was flushed, as if she had been tortured severely by Theo.
"Oh, there was a—a very large, poisonous insect there, so I hurriedly pulled Mr. Ivory away, but I didn't use much force," Theo spread his hands. "You're just too weak."
He took this opportunity to immediately gesture to the guard next to him: "But to prevent any problems, it's best to go to the medical officer first."
Want to cough to show weakness and win Qianqian's sympathy? Don't dream, he will kick this green tea man away from Qianzhi first.
"I'm fine," Noah rubbed the red mark on his neck, his dark eyes shimmering with mist. "It has nothing to do with His Highness Soltz. It's my own fault. I couldn't even withstand the slightest tug from His Highness."
He stretched out his slender neck and raised an alluring arc in front of Qianzhi. His cold white, delicate and radiant skin, coupled with the floral scent coming from broken capillaries, made Qianzhi pause again.
She was almost about to stretch out her vines to suck his body fluids.
"Your Highness, as a sentry, I couldn't control my strength well. I apologize." The golden lion's expression was truly aggrieved, causing Qianzhi to swallow the slightly accusing words on the tip of his tongue. "Go check on Mr. Avery to see if he's injured. We can discuss the potion another day. There's no rush."
From a perspective that Qianzhi couldn't see, Theo curled his lips and gave a sly smile.
But Noah's words always broke his will.
"Qianqian called me Everly again. We agreed to call you Noah, didn't we?"
Noah's long eyelashes were still covered with water droplets, and his expression was gentle.
But his fingers were clenched tightly behind his back.
He had clearly adjusted the concentration of the scent that attracted dodder in his skin, flesh, and even bones, but he still couldn't break even a little bit of the barrier connecting Qianzhi and the sentinel.
It seems that the greatest function of this body has been almost utilized.
After hearing Noah's affectionate name, Theo's expression became visibly more aggrieved, and even his narrow peach blossom eyes were about to be misty.
Qianzhi swallowed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
It was really strange. She felt like she had been petting a cat outside without Theo's knowledge, and was discovered by the big golden cat at home.
Especially since the big cat didn't have his usual aggressive look at all. Instead, he kept looking at her with such a pitiful expression. Even the sour taste of emotion that drifted over made her completely ignore the camellia scent that Noah was physically tempting her with.
"It seems Qianqian truly trusts Mr. Ivory, which is why she calls you 'Noah' without hesitation. So, I hope you won't let Qianqian down."
Theo turned his head and glanced at Noah from top to bottom, trying to help Qianzhi excuse himself with a smile, but at the same time he emphasized his tone, suggesting that Noah should not do anything unnecessary.
Noah chuckled and looked over, but before Theo frowned, he lowered his head like before, pretending to be weak.
"Of course, Your Highness, I will certainly not betray Qianqian's trust."
Qianzhi held the potion in her hand and stared at the taut jaw of the man in front of her.
He turned his face away with a hint of anger, and the veins on the side of his neck bulged.
She sniffed Theo's emotions. The sour smell had dissipated, and the sweet smell of honey was back, even getting stronger.
Does this mean he's not angry anymore?
The girl blinked her eyes and turned around to put away the precious analyzer first.
But she only moved a little before the man next to her grabbed her wrist.
"I'm angry." Theo spoke, his tone as cold and hard as his expression, but the taste was completely different from what his master showed on the surface, even more sticky.
"But I don't smell it." Qianzhi sniffed again.
But before she could finish her words, Theo pulled her over.
He picked her up and placed her on a soft chair beside him, then bent his legs and sat on the ground beside her, his handsome face raised and his cheeks puffed out.
"But I'm just angry."
"I released so much pheromone when I came in, but Qianqian didn't notice me. And you were chatting so happily with that man! You don't care about me at all!"
"That's because of the potion."
"Furthermore, ever since I became Qianqian's partner, I haven't even had the chance to get close to her."
The cunning golden lion didn't give the girl any chance to think. He bent his long legs and complained aggrievedly. He grabbed Qianzhi's wrists with one hand and rubbed himself closer to her.
The disaster disappeared, and the reconstruction of the empire made him busy, and those men became more and more aggressive, trying every means to attract Qianzhi's attention.
This made him jealous every day and mad at his subordinates in the imperial court.
He wanted to let Qianqian know now that he also had a temper, the kind that was impossible to coax!
The man blurted out jealously: "Qianqian, who is more important, the potion or me?"
There was a sudden wet feeling on my cheek.
It was the girl who gently licked his puffed cheek.
"Just now the potion was important," the girl answered him seriously with clear eyes, "but now Theo is important."
It's Theo who matters.
After all, he is the most important!
The love-brained man automatically ignored Qianzhi's previous words and even completely comforted himself by himself.
His peach blossom eyes smiled into crescent moons, and the refreshing scent of honey filled the air along with his instantly happy mood.
"Good girl, Qianqian." He inserted his fingers between Qianzhi's fingers, interlocking them, and softened his voice, coaxing and tempting her, "Next time, please look at me more, okay?"
All his petty, jealous entreaties and his fierce, base desires came from her alone.
And now, the desires and cravings that he had previously ignored because he was not with Chie,
The moment he touched her skin, heard her voice, and smelled her scent, he was instantly activated, like a hook burned by fire, embedding into his flesh and blood, along every cell, igniting every sensitive nerve of his.
Men with love brains have the best fate
