Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 597 The Mad Regent vs. the Fake Princess (16)

"No need," Shen Shuyi quickly refused. "I, I'll be fine after resting for a while."

Who knows what this man is up to?

Li Zhan's expression was unreadable; he only hummed in response and didn't continue.

After lunch, Shen Shuyi was grabbed by the hand by Li Zhan, who then picked her up in his arms.

She touched him lightly, but his hand felt too hot. Her eyelashes trembled, and she buried her head in his chest. "Your Highness, I can walk by myself."

"Were you lying to me when you said you were feeling unwell?" Li Zhan asked with a teasing smile.

"Don't you know whether you're lying or not?" Shen Shuyi punched him in the chest.

Li Zhan led the girl to the palace, and as soon as they entered, he lowered his head and kissed the little princess's lips.

His kiss was so urgent. Finding it difficult to hold her tightly, the man put her down against the door, his large hand gripping her slender waist.
Shen Shuyi raised her hand to push him away, "Your Highness, it's still daytime."

"What's wrong with it being during the day?" Li Zhan bit her lip and chuckled softly. "No one will see us anyway."

"Or perhaps tonight?"

Shen Shuyi grabbed the large hand that was rubbing her through her clothes, "It depends on the situation. I'll apply the medicine first."

In fact, she had already taken the body-strengthening pills required by the system, so even if she stayed up all night, she could still manage.

"Okay." Li Zhan kissed her cheek deeply. "Apply the medicine first, then tonight."

"Shut up, shut up!" Shen Shuyi covered his mouth, her face flushed.

Shen Shuyi lay down on the bed to take a nap, but saw Li Zhan take off his clothes and come over to bend down and kiss her.

"Your Highness, I can actually do it myself."

"It'll be faster for me to help you," Li Zhan said with a smile, seemingly in a very good mood.

Shen Shuyi closed her eyes, not daring to look at him.

Li Zhan took the wide-mouthed porcelain bottle containing the ointment, washed his hands, and used his slender fingers to scoop out the ointment.
He applied the medicine while watching the little girl who was pretending to be asleep but whose face was flushed.

His fingers were wet and slippery, and his breath hitched. He forced himself not to look, otherwise he might have to break his promise.

Shen Shuyi hadn't had enough sleep, so she fell asleep in no time.

After falling asleep, she vaguely felt Li Zhan hug her and say a few words, but she couldn't hear them clearly.

……

When news of the victory in the attack on the Qiang Kingdom reached the country, Emperor Chen Junliu was preparing to take some key ministers to the Jiucheng Palace for summer retreat.

At this point, Shen Shuyi would usually meet with Li Zhan in the study, while Li Zhan would discuss matters with his advisors in the banquet hall. The study would essentially become their base.

They would read books or practice calligraphy together. Sometimes Shen Shuyi would read storybooks in the study while Li Zhan handled official business.

Of course, some ambiguous things will also happen.
That day, Shen Shuyi came to the study to bring some refreshing plum juice, and Li Zhan held her on his lap and asked her to write.

Punishment for poor writing
Shen Shuyi bit her lip, feeling his heat, and almost couldn't hold the brush in her hand.

She had no choice but to try to distract Li Zhan.

“Jingzhan, I don’t have a name yet. I’d like to come up with one too.”

Li Zhan indeed stopped. "What word came to mind?"

Shen Shuyi wrote her name on the paper with a calligraphy brush. Li Zhan breathed on her neck as he spoke, "Shuyi?"

“Yes!” Shen Shuyi said, “I am no longer Princess Xuanhua of Lu. You can call me that from now on.”

"Okay, little maid Shuyi," Li Zhan kissed her ear.

Shen Shuyi got angry. She turned around and bit Li Zhan's shoulder hard.

Li Zhan felt the pain, but he held her tightly and gently pinched her mouth shut.

Looking down at the girl's puffed-up face, he asked, "Do you really like biting people that much?"

"Shoulders are strong, so that Shuyi's little teeth won't get bumped."

"How about we bite somewhere else?"

Shen Shuyi gave a soft snort, then bit Li Zhan's lip, drawing blood from it.

"hiss"

Li Zhan felt a sharp pain on his lips, and no longer indulged her, he opened his mouth and kissed her lips, turning the tables. "Does that make you feel better?"

Shen Shuyi's eyes reddened with anger, and tears streamed down her face. Just as Li Zhan relented, she said, "I don't want to be a slave."

Li Zhan pretended to be angry, staring at her with his deep eyes.

"Ask yourself honestly, which servant is allowed to dine at the same table as their master?"

"Which servant can sleep soundly in the master's bed?"

Shen Shuyi's eyes reddened even more. Li Zhan hugged her tightly, his chin resting against her hair.

"Why are you crying?"

"Where did you feel wronged?"

"If you don't like it, I won't call you 'little maid' next time."

Li Zhan held her in his arms and comforted her, because her crying gave him a headache.

Shen Shuyi sobbed softly, "I'm eating and living well at the Regent's Palace, how could I be wronged?"

She sobbed as she said that someone was unrestrained every night.
Li Zhan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So, in the end, it was still me who bullied you and made you suffer."

"Very well, I will never call you 'little maid' again."

Shen Shuyi wiped away her tears. "I'm biting back now. You can call me whatever you want."

Anyway, she's vengeful, so this bite is just a small punishment. She'll get her revenge for everything in the future.

Li Zhan pressed his face against hers, "Didn't you say you were bored staying in the Prince's Mansion? In a while, I'll take you to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat."

"Is there anything good to eat there?" Shen Shuyi asked, intrigued.

Li Zhan pulled her into his arms, slowly arousing her appetite.

"Nine out of ten Qin dishes are colorful and diverse, including Five-Color Chicken, Colorful Cloud Pork Tenderloin, Lotus Seed Fish Maw, Clear Broth Butterfly Fish, Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions, and Osmanthus-Flavored Chicken Slices."

"Oh, and gourd chicken too."

"When eating, dip it in Sichuan peppercorn salt powder; the skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and the aroma is rich."

Shen Shuyi subconsciously swallowed, "I'll go, I'll go!"

She was already looking forward to the trip to Jiucheng Palace. In her excitement, she got up and solemnly ground ink for Li Zhan.

"Your Highness, please attend to your official duties."

Seeing how readily she came down, Li Zhan felt a little uneasy.

He picked up the document to review, but his gaze fell on the girl beside him.

Watching her slender, white fingers slowly grind the ink stick, I felt that she was beautiful in every way.

Even when she lowers her head slightly, with a strand of long hair hanging down, she looks absolutely beautiful.

Shen Shuyi didn't look at him. After grinding the ink, she picked up a storybook and sat down on the low couch to read it.

After an unknown amount of time, a shadow fell in front of him.

Shen Shuyi looked up and saw Li Zhan, who had been handling official business, walk up to her side.

"Your Highness, what is it?"

Their eyes met in the air, and Li Zhan leaned down, trapping her on the low couch by the window with both hands.

A pair of deep eyes looked at her with burning passion.

Shen Shuyi instinctively grabbed the book in her hand. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just getting late, let's go back to our quarters to rest for a while."

Shen Shuyi blinked. "I haven't had dinner yet."

"It's not too late to use it after resting for a while." As soon as he finished speaking, the man bent down and picked her up.

The bed curtains were drawn, and scattered, disheveled clothes lay beside the bed.

Sunlight streamed in, filtering through layers of curtains, revealing glimpses of the Regent's muscular chest and his taut, pale calves.
