Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Update on Dim Sum Shop (2)_1

On his muscular chest, many marks stained with blood were visible, seemingly inflicted by a whip. Each wound was deep, the whip had torn his skin and flesh, the blood was fresh, and the ghastly scars crisscrossed, spreading all over his body.

"Who did this...?"

Cai Wei asked softly, a hint of pain flickering in her eyes.

"My mother!" Nangong Yi replied truthfully.

Cai Wei spoke with a bitter tone, "Is it because of me?"

"No, my mother was angry that I publicly hit Zhao Yang, and because I went to find my imperial father on my own and made that deal with him, so she acted out of fury..."

"All things considered, it’s still because of me..."

Looking at those dense, crisscrossing scars, Cai Wei couldn’t help but think about the scene of him getting whipped. So many wounds, who knows how long he was whipped for, and those chunks of torn skin and flesh still hadn’t scabbed...

Looking at those fine scars, Cai Wei’s heart inexplicably ached.

This man, this fool, had suffered too much for her!

"It hurts a lot, doesn’t it?"

She asked softly, her voice tinged with a hint of nasal sound.

Hearing her voice, Nangong Yi was surprised. He lifted her chin and when he saw the watery look in her eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart. A wave of wild joy surged in his heart.

The little girl cried, showing that she felt for him, evidently, she was also moved by him. Considering this, the wounds he had suffered were worth it!

"Why? Do you feel sorry for me?"

Holding her tight, he comforted her with a warm smile, "I’ve suffered worse wounds since I was a child. These injuries amount to nothing!"

Cai Wei pursed her lips and muttered, "Stop flattering yourself, who says I feel sorry for you?"

"If you don’t feel sorry, why are you crying?"

"I’ve never seen such frightening wounds before, and I was scared. Is that wrong?"

"Not at all!"

The two argued back and forth. Nangong Yi was fond of her genuine, girlish demeanor in front of him, especially the clumsy excuses she made to justify her tears. It all made him very happy...

He indulgently picked her up and lay her down gently on the couch.

"Wei’er, let me hold you a little longer. The next time I hold you, it will be a year from now..."

Cai Wei bit her lip and quietly nestled in his arms, quietly encircling his waist...

...

When she woke up, it was already broad daylight. Nangong Yi had left, and the room was so quiet, everything looked as usual.

If not for the white jade bottle on the table and the faint lingering scent of dragon saliva in the room, she would almost have thought that last night was just a dream!

It was only when she got dressed and found that her belly wrap was gone did she realize that last night was not a dream.

Damn it, her belly wrap had been stolen again! Cai Wei grinded her teeth. But as soon as she saw her flat-chested figure, she covered her eyes in frustration.

God, could there be anything more embarrassing than this? She had been seen by him looking like this, how humiliating!

Sigh, strange enough, she was already fourteen years old, had her first period, but why wasn’t her chest developing yet?

Just as she was feeling frustrated, Huan Qiu entered the room.

She held a copper basin in her expressionless face. The basin was still steaming.

"Miss, let the servant help you wash your face!"

Huan Qiu wore a green blouse and grass-green skirt, two silver jade hairpins stuck in her hair. Her appearance was average, she didn’t speak much, even rarely showed any expression.

But Cai Wei knew, the one chosen by Nangong Yi to be placed by her side, must be someone extraordinary!
