He did not expect that his careless action would produce such an astonishing result.
Chu Jiu looked absolutely lovely with a flower in her hair!
He leaned down and regarded her intently.
Only then did he discover the tiny beauty spot on her high-bridged nose. It did not make her any less attractive; if anything, it made her even more adorable.
The addition of the petal in her hair only diminished her aloof aura which in turn enhanced her charm.
“Chu Jiu, you’re gorgeous!” He blurted out vehemently.
Chu Jiu’s cheeks immediately turned crimson.

Her eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Her endearing reaction prompted Lu Tingchen’s perfectly-shaped lips to curl into a small smile. He moved a little closer to her and caressed her rosy cheek with his slender fingers.
“Chu Jiu, you’re blushing.”
His words only made Chu Jiu’s face grow redder and hotter.
Seeing the man draw closer to her, she backed away in panic and warned him furiously, “Lu Tingchen, if you keep doing this, I’m going to shout. When that happens, don’t blame me for ruining your reputation.”
Lu Tingchen paused, thoroughly amused to see Chu Jiu so flustered.
Right now, she seemed more full of life – unlike her usual dull self – and her blush only made her appear more like a demure and abashed maiden.
Smirking, he clutched her wrist. “You can shout all you want. It doesn’t matter to me.”
“Why are you so thick-skinned?” Gritting her teeth, Chu Jiu tried to jerk her wrist out of his grasp, but the more she moved, the more he tightened his grip. Unfortunately, her internal strength had been sealed, rendering her struggles futile in Lu Tingchen’s presence.
“You’re right. Even my mother says I have thick skin.” Lu Tingchen did not seem ashamed of it in the least; in fact, he seemed to take pride in it.
Speechless, Chu Jiu glanced at the flowers in his left hand, then abruptly plucked a colorful petal and stuck it carelessly in his hair.
Sensing it, Lu Tingchen blinked a few times in confusion. “What was that for?”
Did this grown man just blink like a girl? How…
She wanted to describe it as disgusting, but when she recalled the image of him blinking, she found it more adorable than disgusting.
The next instant, she was horrified by the thought.
Did she just find Lu Tingchen adorable?
“Just returning the favor,” she said evenly, trying to stifle her laughter at the hilarious sight of the petal in his hair.

When he noticed that she was still wearing her dusty men’s clothes, he wrinkled his brow. “You don’t like the clothes I told Xu Chen to bring you yesterday?” His frown deepened when he caught sight of the said clothes folded neatly on the table. “You didn’t even take a look at them?”
“I don’t wear women’s clothes.” Chu Jiu frowned.
Lu Tingchen was unconvinced. “You’re a woman. Of course you should wear women’s clothes.” He hauled her to her feet. “Go and change.”
Chu Jiu shook his hand off. “Why should I listen to you?”
“Because I’m going to become your husband very soon,” Lu Tingchen declared assertively.
Chu Jiu was stunned by his reply. From his solemn expression, he did not seem to be joking, and that realization stirred up a flurry of mixed emotions in her. “Don’t say things like that so carelessly.” She turned away.
“I’m serious.” Lu Tingchen took her by the shoulders and turned her around to face him. “Chu Jiu, marry me.”
Chu Jiu stared at him in shock, but the next second, she brushed his hands away, and her voice grew cold. “Please get someone else to be your plaything, my lord. I’m afraid I’m not up for it.”
Lu Tingchen froze, then his eyes narrowed. “You think I’m toying with you?”
Chu Jiu did not speak, but her expression already answered him.
Lu Tingchen fumed. “Is that how you see me? A scumbag?”
Chu Jiu furrowed her brow.
