Humiliation

Chu Li smiled guiltily at her.

Although he was not having an affair with Lu Yurong, meeting each other in the middle of the night was still something that would leave Xiao Qi mildly uncomfortable. No doubt, he would feel a bit guilty.

Xiao Qi shot a glare at him. "Her coming here must mean there's bad news."

Chu Li replied, "His Highness the Crown Prince seems to want to teach me a lesson."

"Is it because of His Royal Highness Ping?" Xiao Qi was wearing only a bluish-white underlining cloth as her beautiful hair flowed in the wind like black velvet. Her jade-like face was glowing with warmth, almost as if it was gleaming.

Chu Li nodded.

Xiao Qi asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"

Chu Li just hmph-ed. "Worst case scenario, I'm gonna need to go back to the Public House for some time."

Xiao Qi frowned as she whined, "Then, why don't you take the initiative and go back. By retreating earlier, you can avoid him."
