The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day
Chapter 50 - 51 Co-living

Chapter 50: Chapter 51 Co-living

Inside the sleeping chamber.

Ye Qichi inserted the needles with seriousness.

A moment of silence.

"Ye Qichi, how much longer?!" Xiao Jinxing began to urge again.

Ye Qichi’s brows furrowed tightly, her face clearly unhappy, "Do you really want to be cured or not?!"

"This Prince is sleepy!" Xiao Jinxing made up an excuse.

He was just displaying an impatient look.

Ye Qichi just couldn’t understand it.

Acupuncture doesn’t hurt, what is this man fussing about.

She said irritably, "If you want to sleep, just sleep!"

"This Prince is not used to someone watching me sleep!" Xiao Jinxing spoke coldly, "And I definitely don’t want you by my side while I’m sleeping!"

Ye Qichi really wanted to stab this guy to death with the needle.

"Xiao Jinxing." Ye Qichi was speechless, she bluntly said, "Even your brothers are more pleasing to the eye than you."

Xiao Jinxing’s face turned cold.

Upon closer inspection, his ears seemed to be turning red.

"At least they’re honest." Ye Qichi smiled.

Xiao Jinxing clenched his fists.

Seems like he was rendered so speechless by Ye Qichi’s retort that even his face turned red with restraint!

What kind of words couldn’t come out of this woman, Ye Qichi’s, mouth?!

"Stop your nagging, I won’t blab." Ye Qichi saw through him, continuing with the acupuncture.

The two of them naturally would have close contact.

Xiao Jinxing was just using his disdain for her to cover up his embarrassment.

"Besides, I don’t have any improper thoughts about you!"

She wouldn’t start thinking that this guy had any feelings for her just because of his reactions.

Men are such unreserved creatures, it could be anyone.

She wasn’t so self-delusional!

Xiao Jinxing stared at Ye Qichi!

Also because Ye Qichi brought everything out into the open, he couldn’t find a reason to refute!

He was keeping a stern face, intensely displeased!

The silence grew once more, becoming overly tense.

Ye Qichi suddenly said, "Xiao Jinxing, I will be moving into your Wan Courtyard from now on."

"No!" Xiao Jinxing didn’t think twice, he directly refused.

Ye Qichi pursed her lips.

Sometimes she really didn’t want to talk things over with Xiao Jinxing, every time they talk business, he instinctively rejects her.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She said, "Nanny Liu is the Empress’s person. If you want to avoid the Empress’s eyes, the best way is for us to live together. Otherwise, if I come here every day, it will definitely catch Nanny Liu’s attention, and she will secretly inform the Empress. The Empress will surely become suspicious, and if a real investigation happens, the fact that I’m treating you can’t be hidden."

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened.

Clearly, he was somewhat taken aback by Ye Qichi’s words.

This woman considered things to such a thorough extent.

"Of course, if you don’t mind the Empress knowing that you’ve started treatment for your leg, I don’t really care. But if you want to keep it from the Empress, the best way is for us to live together like a normal husband and wife. At most, Nanny Liu will report back that our relationship has greatly improved," Ye Qichi spoke indifferently.

The decision was up to Xiao Jinxing anyway.

After all, if the news that her and Xiao Jinxing’s relationship was very good got out, it would naturally reach Bai Mowan as well.

Whether Xiao Jinxing would refuse her proposal in order to prevent Bai Mowan from misunderstanding was his own business.

Thus, Xiao Jinxing fell silent for a long time.

Clearly, for him, her proposal was the best option, but he was still hesitating.

"Fine." Xiao Jinxing finally agreed.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to let Ye Qichi move in.

By that time, he believed his explanation would be understood by Wan’er.

"But Ye Qichi, don’t you dare get any funny ideas!" Xiao Jinxing warned.

Ye Qichi rolled her eyes.

How narcissistic can this damn Prince get!

What devious plans could she possibly have against him?

With so many high-quality handsome men in Daxuan Kingdom, why would she be fixated on him?!

"Rest assured, even if I had designs on Gu Xingchuan, I wouldn’t bother with you!"

After all, Gu Xingchuan was not officially taken, so even if she was interested in Gu Xingchuan, she wouldn’t break up a happy couple!

Of course, she was just saying it casually.

She didn’t believe she could actually fall for someone again.

Xiao Jinxing’s expression turned visibly sour.

He naturally knew who Gu Xingchuan was that she mentioned.

He even sent someone to inquire about him today.

The wealthiest man’s son in the Daxuan Kingdom.

Many daughters of noble families wanted to marry Gu Xingchuan, all of whom he rejected – the reason unknown to anyone?!

"All right," Ye Qichi didn’t know what Xiao Jinxing was thinking about, but after finishing with the needles, she spoke, "Stay like this for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and I’ll remove the needles for you."

Xiao Jinxing did not respond to her.

Ye Qichi was accustomed to Xiao Jinxing’s cold attitude towards her.

She turned and walked to Xiao Jinxing’s inkstone platform, picked up his writing brush and began to write a prescription on paper.

Treating with silver needles was one aspect, but it was better to consolidate the effect with medicine.

She wrote with great seriousness.

Although Xiao Jinxing didn’t want to lay eyes on Ye Qichi again at that moment, as soon as he turned his head, he saw her seriously and carefully writing with his writing brush and ink.

Ye Qichi was indeed beautiful. He had always felt that she was too vulgar, but now she appeared to have gained some refinement in her serious demeanor. Suddenly quiet, she seemed to possess the air of a well-bred lady...

"Why are you staring at me?!" Ye Qichi finished writing and saw Xiao Jinxing gazing at her.

Xiao Jinxing snapped back to reality.

His face was cold as ice, "Who allowed you to use my writing tools!"

Ye Qichi knew not to expect any nice words from Xiao Jinxing’s mouth.

"Xiao Jinxing!" Ye Qichi held back her frustration, "I am writing a prescription for you! Can’t you recognize a good deed without snapping like a dog at Lv Dongbin?!"

Xiao Jinxing turned his head away, appearing eternally unerring.

Ye Qichi picked up the prescription she had written and threw it in front of Xiao Jinxing, "Take a good look at it!"

Xiao Jinxing glanced at it.

Then, with a disdainful tone said, "Such ugly handwriting."

"..." Go to hell with your ’ugly’.

"Time for the incense stick is up!" Xiao Jinxing reminded.

Ye Qichi gave Xiao Jinxing a sideways glance, then squatted down to remove the silver needles.

"Xiao Wu!" Xiao Jinxing called out to the attendant waiting at the doorway.

Xiao Wu quickly came in, "Prince."

"Help this Prince back to bed to rest."

"Yes." Xiao Wu helped Xiao Jinxing up from the couch and carried him to the adjacent bed.

"Prepare two more blankets for this Prince," Xiao Jinxing instructed, "Ye Qichi is staying the night."

Xiao Wu’s body visibly stiffened.

He thought he had misheard.

Isn’t this progression of their relationship too fast?

"Yes," Xiao Wu quickly responded.

"Lay them on the floor," Xiao Jinxing continued his instructions.

"..." Forget what I said if things move too fast, Wu thought to himself.

"Xiao Jinxing!" Ye Qichi became furious when she heard Xiao Jinxing’s order.

"I only agreed to let you stay in Wan Courtyard, I never agreed to let you sleep in my bed," Xiao Jinxing said self-righteously, "You don’t have the privilege to share a bed with me!"

Damn it!

Ye Qichi really wanted to strangle this damned Prince!
