Chapter 519 Extra - Undressing
Chen Ci tapped his fingertips on the table again: "Besides money, what else do you want?"
Shu Tong opened her mouth but cautiously said nothing.
At least for now, she didn't understand the meaning of Chen Ci's words. He was the Crown Prince, a person who held the power of life and death over everyone in the world. If she was not careful, she might lose her life.
Therefore, one should be careful with one's words and actions.
So she smiled and said, "I just want some money to keep myself safe. Your Highness is overthinking it."
Sensing the many emotions in her eyes, Chen Ci said directly, "Since I call you Shu Tong instead of Shu Liangyuan, it means that we are equals at this moment, or to put it more simply, it is a conversation between friends."
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "We can always be friends, right?"
friend?
Shu Tong looked at the man opposite her with clear eyes and a curved smile with some surprise. A strange feeling welled up in her heart. She felt that the man opposite her was not quite the same as the Crown Prince Chen Ci in her memory.
Seeing that he was still waiting for an answer, Shu Tong nodded: "It's from a friend..."
“Then just speak frankly.” Chen Ci looked at her intently. “I will not punish you for anything you say today. Just speak your mind.”
The more he said that, the less Shu Tong dared to say anything more.
I had a feeling that this man might be implying something.
Could it be that he sensed her resistance to serving him in bed?
So she pursed her lips and replied, "Your Highness is overthinking it. It's just that there were quite a few trivial matters to attend to during today's rehearsal, which was mentally and physically exhausting, and I'm feeling a little unwell."
Chen Ci sighed softly.
It seems she has no intention of telling him the truth.
That's all.
That's settled then.
Once we get to the celebration banquet later and have a few more drinks, I'll tell you everything.
Chen Ci recalled the things she had muttered to herself when he last saw her at Taibai Tower.
With a slight smile, she said, "Since Liangyuan is tired, let's get her settled in as soon as possible."
Shu Tong stood up and curtsied: "Yes."
Okay, now that we've dealt with his probing questions, we're facing the issue of living together...
I'm so tired.
Being a concubine of the crown prince is too tiring.
This is especially true for a woman who wants a divorce; it's an added burden.
Seeing the deep conflict in her eyes, Chen Ci raised an eyebrow slightly, but deliberately did not go along with her wishes. He stood up and faced her, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Lady Liangyuan, to help me undress."
Shu Tong replied, "Yes."
The man was a head taller than her, standing in front of her like a wall, exuding the aura of a mature man, which made her feel a little complicated.
It has to be said that Chen Ci, as the male lead, is incredibly handsome, so handsome that it's breathtaking.
She unbuckled the man's belt and set it aside. She then raised her head slightly to unbutton the button around his neck. Her fingers inadvertently touched the man's chin. He tilted his head back slightly, but the heat from her knuckles still spread from her fingertips.
All she could see was the man's Adam's apple and skin, which stirred a flutter of excitement in her heart.
As the buttons were undone one by one, the man's black undergarment was revealed, exuding a strong sense of asceticism.
Helping him take off his outer garment, what came into view was his muscular physique wrapped in his undershirt; you could almost see the lines of his chest and back muscles.
Shu Tong couldn't help but swallow, her face turning red with embarrassment.
She lowered her head and reached out to take the belt from the man's inner garment, but her hand was grabbed by the man as soon as she touched the clothes.
Chen Ci looked at her face, which was flushed red to the tips of her ears, and a smile appeared on his lips. His tone was slightly teasing.
"What? Is Liangyuan planning to strip me naked?"
