Bab 1497: Chu Qi Stopped Persevering

Chu Qi, "…"

She was crying because of that?

Embarrassment and self-consciousness were revealed on his handsome face. He coughed lightly. "I was acting rash…" At this point, he suddenly remembered something. He collected himself and asked, "What's the use of that packet of medicine hidden in your cupboard?"

Ji'er was surprised. "How did you know about the medicine in my cupboard?" She was reminded of what the medicine was for. This made Ji'er feel a little guilty as she began to shift her eyes.

"It fell out when I was helping you grab a dress," Chu Qi explained. He was taken aback to see her avoiding his gaze and had a rough guess of what it could be.

"It's just normal medicine. It doesn't have much use." Ji'er laid her head against his chest. She was a little afraid to look him in the eye out of fear he would notice something.

However, Chu Qi's suspicions only deepened when he saw how anxious she was to explain herself.
