Seeing Chu Yuqin already so embarrassed she wished she could dive into a hole, Lu Chen didn't press her any further.
"I understand."
"Madam Chu, I will always be waiting, waiting for you to accept me."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Yuqin glanced at Lu Chen's entire body, then let go of his arm and said, "You... you should go find Zixuan and the others."
Chu Yuqin knew Lu Chen was barely holding back, so she no longer clung to him.
"Okay, then I'll leave first," Lu Chen said.
Lu Chen thought since Chu Yuqin's inner chains had begun to loosen, his first stage task was also considered complete.
After some more time, Chu Yuqin would be able to accept him completely, nothing further was needed for today.
The recent hugging and kissing with Chu Yuqin had left him on fire; he desperately needed somewhere to cool off.
With that in mind, Lu Chen turned and left the study.
Watching Lu Chen's retreating figure, Chu Yuqin sighed softly. What had she just said?
