The original drowsiness vanished in an instant. Chu Qing, wearing only her undergarments, paced anxiously in front of the couch.
She carefully recalled the words she had said to Wei Ying in the past two days, but not a single one of them seemed to be an expression of her feelings!
Could it be...
Did he sneak in while she was asleep and pour out his heartfelt feelings?
"Luoluo! Liuxin!" Thinking of this, Chu Qing was determined to call the two young maids over and find out.
Hearing Chu Qing's anxious voice, the two young maids thought something had happened. They immediately put down what they were doing and rushed into the inner room.
"Miss! What's going on?" Luoluo asked with a worried look on her face.
"Has the prince come in while I was asleep these days?" Chu Qing blurted out without hesitation.
Luoluo and Liuxin looked at each other blankly. "Huh???"
Seeing this, Chu Qing had to patiently repeat word by word, "I'm asking if the prince has come to see me while I was asleep, either during the day or at night. Think carefully, both of you."
Hearing this, Luoluo seemed to think of something, and her little face suddenly blushed. "Miss~ We've never seen the prince come in through the door. But..."
Seeing Luoluo hesitate, Chu Qing urgently motioned for her to continue.
"Maybe the prince likes to come in through other places to see you. We're not sure about that." Luoluo whispered while secretly stealing glances at Chu Qing's face.
She wasn't sure if it was the special... hobby of the masters. After she said it like this, Luoluo was a bit afraid that her mistress would fly into a rage.
But Chu Qing didn't catch the other meaning. At this moment, she just thought that what Luoluo said was not impossible.
"Go and invite the Prince of Ning." Chu Qing commanded in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
"Just say... this princess is not feeling well and wants him to come and take a look."
"Miss, are you really not feeling well? Should we also invite the doctor?" Hearing that Chu Qing was not feeling well, Luoluo immediately asked worriedly.
"...You just go and invite the prince! Not feeling well is just an excuse!" Chu Qing was rather helpless.
After realizing this, Luoluo slapped her own head and immediately replied, "I was stupid! I'll go right away!" As soon as she finished speaking, Luoluo trotted off to invite Wei Ying.
...
Sitting back on the couch, Chu Qing felt as if someone was kneading her heart gently at times and forcefully at other times, and then shaking it around. It was a complete mess.
Logically speaking, the improvement of her physical condition meant that she had completed the task as the little meatball had said.
But since it was completed so inexplicably, Chu Qing felt that if she didn't figure it out, it would surely be a sleepless night.
Just as she continued to recall their previous conversations, Wei Ying rushed over.
"Not feeling well?" Wei Ying asked before he even reached Chu Qing's side.
Before Wei Ying came, Chu Qing was determined to get to the bottom of things. But when she saw his face, she couldn't help but feel timid.
"Luoluo, Liuxin... Hey? Where are they?" Just as she was about to order the two maids to wait outside, after her gaze passed by Wei Ying, she found that there was no one behind him.
Coincidentally, the door had just been gently closed from the outside.
Chu Qing: "..."
"Someone said she was not feeling well and called me here, and then left me alone here. Is there something you want to say?" Wei Ying saw Chu Qing sitting on the couch with her legs hugged, wearing only her undergarments. His eyes darkened involuntarily.
When she saw Wei Ying's hot gaze on her, Chu Qing silently pulled the quilt beside her over her body.
"...I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Um... Have you ever sneaked in through the window or something while I was asleep?" After saying this, Chu Qing only then realized that this sentence seemed a bit inappropriate.
Sure enough, Wei Ying raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a bit strange. "Are you hinting at something, Qingqing?"
"Ah? I'm not! Don't frame me!"
"Then... has someone been here?" Thinking of this possibility, Wei Ying's tone was instantly filled with a strong killing intent.
"That's even more impossible!" Hearing Wei Ying's inexplicable thought that suddenly popped up, Chu Qing immediately denied it.
Does this guy always think about himself and wearing a cuckold!
Wei Ying was also stunned for a moment by his own stupid thought just now. There were hidden guards he had placed everywhere in the prince's mansion. Without permission, outsiders would never be able to enter or leave easily.
As the famous Prince of Ning, he wondered why he always seemed to do or have some... behaviors and thoughts that were not like his own in front of Chu Qing!
Seeing the changing expressions on Wei Ying's face, Chu Qing could only smile and say, "I just asked casually. You don't have to take it to heart. I asked Luoluo to invite you here just to tell you that I'm going back to the Chu family tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Obviously, Chu Qing would never directly ask the other person if he had expressed his feelings for her. She could only perfunctorily change the topic to something else.
It just so happened that she needed to tell him about going back tomorrow and get his permission.
"Why do you suddenly want to go back?" Wei Ying was very clear about Chu Qing's previous behavior. So when she took the initiative to mention going back, he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
"I miss home." Chu Qing lowered her eyes, looking pitiful.
Seeing Chu Qing's rare appearance, Wei Ying's heart softened, and his tone also softened unconsciously. "Okay, if you want to go back, then go. It's a pity that I have something to do tomorrow and can't accompany you. I'll definitely accompany you next time."
"Okay~"
"One thing though... you can't stay overnight."
"Why?" Chu Qing looked up, a bit confused.
"One day later, Wuya will come to check on your physical condition and then decide whether you need to continue taking the medicine. By the way, how do you feel your body has changed?"
Chu Qing didn't want to talk at this moment. The topic she had just skipped over was brought up again by him.
Also, did she still have to take that难吃 (unpalatable) medicine!
"I think... it's fine." After a pause, Chu Qing could only answer like this.
Wei Ying nodded slightly. "That's good. I was just worried that the medicine wouldn't have any effect on you."
"..."
Indeed, the medicine really had no effect on her. But she really couldn't explain to Wei Ying how she had improved her physical condition.
After all, she was also completely in the dark.
Not knowing what else to say, Chu Qing could only euphemistically say, "You look a bit tired. Why don't you go back and rest earlier? There's nothing else here."
But at this moment, Wei Ying sat down next to Chu Qing, hooked the corner of his lips, and said leisurely:
"I'll stay here with you tonight."
