"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 98 Was she really being coquettish?
Qin Su was held in the man's arms, and she could almost feel his trembling through their clasped muscles.

She was somewhat bewildered and tried to push him away: "What's wrong? I..."

"Do not talk!"

He had only said a few words when the tyrant pressed his head down hard into his chest.

His heart was pounding. The unbridled darkness before him only began to feel restrained the moment he saw her.

It wasn't until he held the warm, soft woman in his arms that Chu Jiang realized how hypocritical his previous words had been.

What made her "able to leave whenever she wanted without being stopped"? The moment the person in front of him disappeared for a moment, he was so enraged that he almost wanted to kill her.

This feeling was even stronger than when I had previous episodes.

"Okay, okay, I won't move or run away, don't worry..."

Qin Su immediately noticed that something was wrong with the man, so she softened her voice to comfort him, her tone very gentle.

After an unknown amount of time, the man finally calmed down. Although he let go of her hand, the distance between them had long since exceeded the intimate distance.

His hand landed lightly behind her, yet with just a slight pull, he could draw her back into his arms. It carried a silent possessiveness.

"How did you..."

"What are you doing here?"

The two spoke almost simultaneously, the latter's voice being colder and fiercer.

Qin Su swore that if he didn't have a face so handsome that people could forgive all his evil deeds, he would have been beaten to death long ago!

I'm playing here!

As she spoke, she raised the chess piece in her hand.

Chu Jiang looked closely and noticed a sheepskin chessboard with nineteen lines on the lawn, along with two small, exquisite boxes of black and white chess pieces.

"Small and compact" truly means small; it looks much smaller than ordinary chess pieces, more like a toy for young children.

Chu Jiang frowned: "What is this?"

"Hmm?" Qin Su tilted her head: "Go, can't you tell?"

Chu Jiang was about to say, "Why did you have to hide in this shameful place when you could go anywhere else?" when the little girl's smiling words made him so angry that his face turned dark:
"It was a gift from Brother Xie. I brought it with me when I went to the palace because I was afraid I would be bored."

"Throw it away!"

After Chu Jiang finished speaking, he realized something and frowned, adding, "I'll send you an even better one."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at the chessboard.

To everyone's surprise, the girl didn't appreciate it at all and immediately withdrew her hand: "No! This is Brother Xie's kindness, I can't trample on it."

Chu Jiang almost gritted his teeth. What kind of bullshit intentions were these? They were clearly up to no good!
Because he was so annoyed, he had forgotten his initial worry and anger, and was only thinking about how to get rid of the annoying gift from the person who was bothering him.

What's even more baffling is that while he was furious, the little girl acted completely oblivious, tugging at his sleeve and saying happily:
"You've come at the right time, let's play chess."

Chu Jiang withdrew his gaze, gave a cold snort, turned around, and stood there arrogantly and fiercely.

His uncooperative attitude made the little girl mutter to herself, "Hmph, if he won't cooperate, he won't cooperate. What a stingy guy."

Who are you calling stingy?

The man's voice suddenly turned deep, carrying a terrifying and intimidating force.

She shook her head innocently: "No, you misheard. It's definitely not that I'm saying you're stingy."

Chu Jiang's eyes were dark and brooding, looking quite fierce: "Qin, Sang, Sang..."

"Okay, come on, just keep me company, okay?"

Suddenly, a soft little hand grabbed his. The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of grievance: "I don't want to play with anyone else but you."

A simple sentence extinguished the man's anger, and his hand, which was about to break free, froze in mid-air. When Ye Fan and his guards arrived, they saw the Seventh Prince sitting cross-legged on the ground, his robes gathered. And opposite him was none other than the girl who had almost turned the Eastern Palace upside down.

Ye Fan raised his hand to remind the people behind him to stop, and then, just as he had come, he led them away quietly.

Although Chu Jiang sat down, his mouth was still infuriating: "I don't play chess with idiots."

The girl opposite was setting up the "chessboard" and, without looking up, said, "It's okay, I don't mind."

Her voice was still so gentle and pleasant, and her replies were never at a disadvantage.

Chu Jiang looked up at her, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

The little girl, completely unaware of what was happening, set up the chessboard and said with a smile, "You're so smart, can I go first this time?"

Chu Jiang: "No way!"

With a "snap," the black piece was placed, and the game began.

Qin Su: Ha, men...

She didn't say anything more and followed her own piece.

Her fingers were slender and very beautiful.

From the moment he made his move, Chu Jiang showed no intention of holding back. His moves were aggressive and decisive, relentlessly pursuing and blocking the white pieces.

This is why a game of chess starts quickly and ends even faster.

In less than ten minutes, Qin Su had been completely wiped out.

She asked, somewhat dazed, "I lost?"

She seemed to hear a cold sneer. When she looked up blankly, she saw the man casually toss the small black piece back into the chess box and make a move to get up and leave.

"Wait, let's play one more round!"

She reacted quickly, grabbing the man's robe, which was embroidered with ornate patterns, to stop him from leaving.

Chu Jiang glanced down at the small, snow-white hand clinging to the hem of his dark robe before looking at her: "What will you use to fight me?"

The little girl was clearly stunned for a moment: "What?"

Chu Jiang: "There's nothing here, what are you going to do? Let go."

"Wait a minute!" She pondered for a moment with a pained expression, "What do you want?"

Chu Jiang remained silent, his deep gaze sweeping over the girl's clear, watery eyes, porcelain-white face, and pink lips... finally settling on the "chessboard" beneath her, his sharp, handsome chin slightly raised.
"I'm fine with playing against you, but if I win, this thing is mine."

Anything that gets in your way should be thrown away.

She couldn't bear to part with him, so he came.

The little girl's eyes widened in surprise: "No way! What do you want it for?"

Chu Jiang didn't waste any words: "If you don't agree, then forget it."

After he finished speaking, he made a move to leave again.

But when he moved, he realized she hadn't let go: "Well, not exactly, but three rounds... no, best of five!"

The girl's eyes were burning, as if she had made a great decision.

Seeing those beautiful eyes that were clearly aggrieved yet still stubborn, Chu Jiang's Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed back the words, "I'll give you your eyes too."

The man sat down again for the "bet," but where he couldn't see, the obedient and docile girl opposite him had a deep, unsettling look in her eyes.
-
The second game started quickly. This time, Qin Su played black. Chu Jiang had witnessed the little girl's chess skills before and thought that this game would end as quickly as the previous one, so he was very casual.

However, he soon discovered that the girl was moving much faster than before.

However, he didn't take it too seriously. If he could win this way, he might as well die instead.

Then this game lasted for about half an hour...
