章 1309: All He Wanted Was To Protect Ji’er

Chu Qi heeded her words and closed his eyes. After a while, when the light was no longer so dazzling, he slowly opened them.

His vision was fuzzy at first, but gradually, it became clearer.

The first thing he saw was the baby in his arms.

She had skin as fair and smooth as white jade, a head of thick black hair, and glossy lips the color of a cherry.

It was a beautiful baby, and she was now sleeping meekly in his embrace.

So this was Ji'er…

As Chu Qi gazed at her delicate face, his fingers twitched with yearning to touch her, but he eventually suppressed the urge.

He lifted his gaze toward the other two people in the room.

The man was regally handsome, and the woman had the beauty of a goddess. He speculated that they were Ji'er's parents, the current reigning Emperor and Empress.

"Chu Qi, can you see us now?" Lu Liangwei asked as she waved a hand in front of his eyes.

"Yes." Chu Qi nodded.
