Love You Till the End

Chapter 1099 - 1107: What Do You Want to Eat? It’s My Treat

Just as Su Jiuyi was about to open the medical kit, Shi Aoju suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her aside without a word, and pressed her shoulder to keep her from moving.

"Your wound..." Su Jiuyi struggled to get up, her attention remained fixed on Shi Aoju’s arm. Seeing the large area of bruising, she was reminded of what happened during the day. If he hadn’t pulled her away in time, she might not have survived.

Xiao Chen drove very fast at the time; if she had really been hit, her chances of survival would be slim, especially since her existing wounds hadn’t healed, further weakening her defenses.

Thinking back, it was still frightening. If she hadn’t insisted on going out with Shi Aoju today, Jingren and Qin Shaobai would have been the ones hurt. Thankfully, this disaster was avoided.

"I’ll handle my injury myself when I go back to my room."

Shi Aoju looked down at her, his lips just a centimeter away from her face. Su Jiuyi could feel his warm breath brushing against her face, slowly spreading down to her neck.

The tobacco scent on him was very faint; rather than being pungent, it smelled quite pleasant. As it wafted into Su Jiuyi’s nose, she was stunned for a moment. Looking at the man close enough to touch, her mind suddenly went blank, losing the ability to think.

Shi Aoju suddenly reached out to hold her head, pressing her face to his chest, feeling her warm breath and the heat from her body, and he felt very satisfied.

"Let’s sleep like this tonight," he spoke softly, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, a trace of exhaustion showing between his brows.

Held in his arms, Su Jiuyi felt a sense of peace, and she nodded slightly: "Alright."

Ultimately, Shi Aoju did not attend to the injury on his arm, and Su Jiuyi also no longer insisted, as they embraced each other and slept on the sofa all night.

Su Jiuyi never dared to close her eyes, quietly nestled in Shi Aoju’s embrace, not because she feared he might do something to her, but reluctant to sleep. She worried that when she woke up after closing her eyes, the night would be over. Indeed, she cared more about the process than the outcome. The ending didn’t matter; what was important was that there was an important person accompanying her during the journey.

Coming out of the police station, Qi Jingren’s steps grew heavy. Because of Xiao Chen’s malicious assault incident, she had been interrogated by the police all afternoon. Due to her surname being Qi and not Moe, no one would suspect she was a Princess. Plus, since the police couldn’t find her records, her identity became even more mysterious.

This was why a brief half-hour interrogation extended to five hours, probing Xiao Chen’s affairs and then her identity. The explanation she gave was that she was adopted, without household registration or identity certificate...

There was no choice; the police had to let her go for now and instruct her to quickly visit the relevant department to issue an identity certificate to verify her identity.

"Are you heading back now?" Qin Shaobai asked, looking at Qi Jingren’s silhouette.

Qi Jingren turned back at the sound and said, "I’m hungry."

"What would you like to eat?" Qin Shaobai smiled and said, "It’s my treat."

"Steak, perhaps," Qi Jingren replied.

Qin Shaobai paused, handsomely slid his hands into his trouser pockets, his thin lips curling upwards, "How about a heart-shaped one?"
