He turned his back, and it took quite a while before he suppressed the surge of irritation.
When he turned around again, his expression was very solemn, looking as if he was about to punish someone.
Xia Ruqing was startled and hastened to step back.
"Emperor, I... I won't dare again, Emperor!"
Zhao Junyao gave a slight smile, stepped forward to take her into his arms, and hooked her chin.
"Qingqing, you've become quite bold!"
"I may tolerate you today, but that doesn't mean I will in the future..."
Xia Ruqing thought it over from all angles. She knew all too well the effectiveness of the little black book Zhao Junyao kept in his heart. She dared not tease him any further and immediately caved in.
So, Xia Ruqing promised Zhao Junyao quite a few things to just barely settle the matter.
For example... to attend to him day and night.
Another example... to serve him three meals.
And yet another example... to give him massages and back pats.
