Chapter 974

Aside from being good-looking, everything else was very ordinary.

Receiving this kind of pajamas was definitely a shocking big gift for her.

Zhao Chi truly didn't know what to say, so he could only soothe her: "Why are you getting worked up again? Calm down first."

Su Qin bit her lower lip and said: "If you want me, I'm willing even without these pajamas. Just one word from you and I'll give myself to you. But why won't you say anything? Even just nod your head, and I'll drag you onto the bed right now."

Zhao Chi really wanted to run.

He hadn't expected Su Qin to actually say something like that.

Her feelings were too intense; Zhao Chi needed a moment to digest them.

"How about... we both think it over? After all, this kind of thing can't be too impulsive..."

Zhao Chi still wanted to soothe her.

But Su Qin simply wouldn't listen.

And her pretty face tightened as she instantly grew angry.

"Cut the crap. Get inside for me!"

Saying that, she grabbed Zhao Chi's hand and strode toward the Lord's Manor.

Zhao Chi had absolutely no experience with this kind of thing.

Back then, when Gu Qing and the others took the initiative, Zhao Chi was happy to accept.

After all, Gu Qing and the others were 100% Zhao Chi's women.

Taking them in was simply taking them in.

But this Su Qin was someone else, a separate Lord.

He actually didn't want to be so rash.

After all, Su Qin was a decent person; he still wanted to take his time and cultivate things slowly.

But he hadn't expected things to develop like this.

Seeing he was about to be dragged into the Lord's Manor by Su Qin, Zhao Chi quickly pulled Su Qin back.

"Su Qin, Su Qin, listen to me..."

"Like hell I will! Get your ass inside for me! Li Qi, Li Hua, come help me drag him in!"

"Yes!"

Su Qin's two elven heroines walked over hesitantly.

Then they pushed Zhao Chi from behind.

With this kind of attitude, Zhao Chi stopped struggling and let them lead him into the Lord's Manor, straight into the bedroom.

"Alright, you two go out and close the door."

Su Qin's tone still carried anger.

She seemed to be embarrassed into anger.

"Yes!"

Both elven women breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and quickly left.

Only Su Qin and Zhao Chi were left in the room.

This bedroom was still the original bedroom of the Lord's Manor, presenting a pale wooden yellow tone.

The room was spotlessly clean.

It was unclear whether Su Qin was always like this, or had specially tidied up to entertain Zhao Chi.

Against the inner wall was a double bed, covered with a red floral bedsheet, the blankets neatly folded at the head of the bed.

In the middle of the room was a square wooden table, laden with all sorts of food.

Much of it should have been bought from outside, such as some cooked food, soy sauce chicken, cured meat, and sausages.

There were also some freshly stir-fried dishes that looked very fresh, the vegetables all a vibrant green, among which one was stir-fried by Su Qin herself.

In the center of the table was a large bowl of soup; it was unclear what was inside, but the ingredients were certainly good.

Beside it were two small pots of wine; it was unclear what kind of wine was inside, but it probably wasn't bad.

There were also several kinds of fruit, all washed.

And there were only two chairs.

The two chairs were placed side by side.

This whole table was prepared for Zhao Chi, although Zhao Chi certainly couldn't eat nearly this much.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Chi didn't know what to say, and instead felt a bit awkward.

Su Qin broke the silence first.

Although she was still frowning, with displeasure showing in her eyes, her tone had already softened.

"I've prepared everything, why are you leaving? Didn't we agree to eat? How can a grown man like you go back on his word?"

Zhao Chi quickly said: "Such a feast, then I definitely have to eat my fill before leaving."

Su Qin's expression improved a little: "Mm, that mushroom and rape dish is my stir-fry. I originally wanted to stir-fry some spicy cabbage too, but I didn't expect you'd already arrived. I'm not very good at meat dishes, but I can learn in the future."

Su Qin pulled out a chair and let Zhao Chi sit down.

Su Qin sat beside him and began picking up food.

"Try mine first. Fourth Sister-in-law taught me how to stew meat before, but I didn't learn properly back then. I'll practice more in the future."

"Mm, it's delicious. Your cooking is good, you really have a talent."

Zhao Chi intended to praise her, but Su Qin clearly didn't buy it.

She pouted and said: "Zhao Chi, tell me the truth. What exactly are you thinking?"

Oh no.

She's here again.

Zhao Chi was considering how to answer, but Su Qin went ahead and started talking on her own.

"Zhao Chi, I've been following my parents and attaching ourselves to your Zhao family, and it's already been many years now.

"And my parents passed away long ago. It was the Zhao family that raised me, and I've long been one of your Zhao family's people.

"I know my status is humble, and your potential is very strong, but I'm not after anything from you.

"I never said I'd be your main wife — wouldn't it be fine for me to be your concubine?

"My looks aren't bad either — you can't not have noticed, can you?

"And my figure is also decent — I have a chest and a waist, my bottom isn't small, and my legs are quite long. You've never really looked at me properly.

"Someone like me taken out wouldn't embarrass you, would it?

"And I've always kept myself pure. Many male students have come after me, but I've never paid them any attention — your sister knows this.

"Why are you so resistant toward me?

"Can't you just let me follow you?

"I've seen those women in your territory — they're indeed all very pretty — but I won't bother about them. You can play however you want; you're still free.

"And I'm also a town-level lord, and I have combat ability too — I won't hold you back.

"I just can't figure it out — why do you keep me at arm's length?

"Clearly you don't want to accept me, but you're still so good to me?

"I know you have secrets.

"I'm not asking you, and I'm not forcing you to tell me — what are you afraid of?

"Last time Xiao Ning asked me about you, I wouldn't tell her even if I died — you can trust me.

"You must make yourself clear today, or I won't let you leave!"
