Lu Qing was still quite gentle. Afterwards, he directly ran hot water and carried her into the bathtub, filling it with plenty of foam.
A hot bath was the perfect way to relieve stress. The warm water washed over her body, opening up all her pores. The gloom she was feeling was completely swept away, and Lu Qing joined her in the bath.
She was still sitting on top of him, their skin touching intimately. At this close distance, looking at his face, she couldn’t even see his pores. His skin was so good, she couldn’t help but feel envious.
Lu Qing hugged her from behind and, pressing close to her ear, asked:
"Feeling better now?"
"Much better. Thank you, hubby."
He had noticed her displeasure, which was why he kept comforting her so tirelessly. As for sleeping, he was quite eager about it, and for her, it was also a way to release stress. At the very least, she had vented her emotions.
She turned around, reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, and planted a kiss on him.
Her initiative pleased Lu Qing as he replied in a calm voice:
"Tomorrow, I’d like to go back to Liyuan. I miss Ninth Uncle, and I miss Xiao Bai too."
"Who do you miss, Ninth Uncle or Xiao Bai?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
Qin Miaomiao hurriedly said, "Xiao Bai, definitely Xiao Bai!"
If she said Ninth Uncle, she knew he’d get jealous again.
Qin Miaomiao bit his shoulder playfully and said, "Lu Shen, you’re totally insatiable . I’ve already been comforted!"
"About you meeting Li Li—I haven’t settled accounts with you yet."
Does he really need to settle accounts for that? Really?
Still, she had to admit, aside from someone’s excessive needs, the two of them got along quite harmoniously in certain aspects. Hmm!
This time, when they returned to Liyuan, the first thing she did after seeing Ninth Uncle was go to find Xiao Bai.
The White Lion wasn’t locked up in a cage. Instead, it was leisurely wandering around the courtyard!
The ferocious aura that once covered its body had been completely worn away. Especially when Mr. Jiu was around—it behaved as obediently as a cat. But no matter how tame it seemed, it was still a big lion. For the most part, the servants didn’t dare get close to it, afraid that one wrong move would end with it eating them!
Qin Miaomiao, however, looked thrilled as she circled around it a few times and then asked Mr. Jiu:
"Ninth Uncle, can I touch it? Will it bite me?"
If it dared to, it’d be chopped up and turned into broth!
The White Lion let out a soft howl, sounding pitiful. The majestic Lion King had fallen to such a state—it was unworthy of its noble bloodline!
Qin Miaomiao immediately ran over and tentatively touched its tail. No reaction!
She then tried stroking its head. Wow, its head was huge! Its fur looked absolutely gorgeous and felt soft to the touch. It didn’t whimper or move, staying obediently where it was.
Hmph, foolish humans. Just wait—wait until that terrifying man leaves, and then it’ll bite her!
The more she petted it, the more satisfied she became. Her arms spread wide as she suddenly threw herself onto it, practically wanting to hug it and roll around!
Xiao Bai let out an impatient growl. She flipped over and ended up riding on its back!
"Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Giddy-up!"
