Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



Ji'er's lips curved into a smile. "What's wrong?"

Concealing the worry in his eyes, Chu Qi squeezed her hand. "Nothing. I've finished handling today's military affairs. It's late—I'll walk you back to your room."

"All right." Ji'er nodded, stood up, and left the study with him.

Chu Qi held her hand all the way. When they arrived at her room, he wanted to release his grip, but the girl suddenly threw herself into his arms.

"Lil Qi, stay here tonight." Ji'er lay her cheek against his chest. As she listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, her pounding heart instantly calmed down, and her determination grew stronger.

Chu Qi stiffened, then dropped his gaze to her.

She had not asked him to stay in the past few days, so he thought it would be the same this night.

However, he could never bear to say no to Ji'er.

"All right," he replied. Holding her hand, he led her into the room and turned to close the doors.

However, just when he was about to turn around, the girl pressed her soft body against his back.

Chu Qi immediately sensed something. Stifling his desire, he turned and pushed her away firmly. "Ji'er, it's late. Go to bed."

To his surprise, Ji'er launched herself at him stubbornly and clung to him.

Gazing at the man's handsome face, she reached out a trembling hand beneath his clothes.

"Ji'er!" Chu Qi growled and grabbed her hand. His eyes were like a darkness that threatened to swallow her up, and his voice was hoarse. "Do you know what you're doing?" 

"I do." Ji'er's lashes trembled, and she stood on her tiptoes to kiss him on the lips. "It hurts so bad, Lil Qi. Only you can help me…"

Chu Qi's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists.

With all the self-restraint he could muster, he suppressed the burning urges of his body.

He placed his hands on her shoulders to push her away, but just then, he tasted the saltiness of her tears on his lips.

He flinched. Looking at the girl, with tears running down her cheeks and despair in her eyes, he could not bring himself to push her away anymore. 

She had been smiling in the past few days, but her smiles were so heartrendingly forced. 

He knew how much she was suffering.

However, there was nothing he could do. He did not know how to heal her pain.

Seeing Ji'er like this made his heart ache with distress. She was so helpless and pitiful that he could not bring himself to reject her advances.

If Ji'er wanted to lose herself in the moment, he would do it together with her. 

He closed his eyes and, in the end, he scooped Ji'er into his arms.

Although Ji'er had made up her mind, she still trembled with nervousness at the thought of what was to come.

Chu Qi placed her on the bed. He caressed her cheek and whispered huskily, "Ji'er, I can't take your purity so rashly. Will you wait for me?"

Ji'er shook her head, her voice quivering as she said, "No. I know you're lying." She kept her arms tight around his waist, refusing to let go.

Chu Qi did not want to wait either, but he could not take her chastity so unceremoniously.

He fought back all his desire and said tenderly, "Ji'er, I want to perform the wedding ceremony with you and make you my wife formally before sleeping with you. I'll be back soon—wait for me."

Ji'er was dazed for a moment, but when she met the man's earnest and gentle gaze, she finally let go.

It was already well into the night. Without alerting anyone, Chu Qi fetched a pair of wedding candles and a wedding veil.

Ji'er did not go to sleep. She was not surprised when she saw what he was holding as he had said that he wanted to perform the wedding ceremony with her.
