Chu Qi’s Jealousy

He was grateful that Ji'er did not need to leave the Palace. Otherwise, she could have easily been taken advantage of by other men.

Nevertheless, he took the opportunity to educate her. "Ji'er, it's okay for you to be a little casual with me, but when it comes to other men, please remember not to act this way. The people out there aren't what you imagine them to be. There are bad people who would take advantage of you if you behave so casually with them."

Ji'er frowned. "I won't be this way in front of others. I'm only like this with you."

Chu Qi was reminded of Qi Heng from earlier in the day when he heard this; he was not convinced by her.

"Don't you believe me?" Ji'er noticed him looking like he disagreed with her and she frowned unhappily.

"How do you explain Qi Heng from this morning?" Chu Qi tried to hold himself back, but in the end, he could not help questioning her about it. There was unhappiness in his tone that he did not notice.
