"Have I been indulging you too much lately?"
Jun Huang looked down at the young man and spoke.
At some point, a Small Riding Crop had appeared in her hand. She gave it a light wave through the air.
The swishing sound immediately made the young man think of the term "tutor."
Well, that description was not quite right. After all, a tutor did not have this kind of queenly presence.
"Sis Huang, everything is within the plan, including their escape."
"I was casting a long line to catch a big fish. I never lost track of them—I sent people to follow them long ago."
"Next, we'll wipe them all out in one sweep, so whether it's seven days or three makes no difference to me."
Su Qing could only come clean obediently.
Even though he was currently in a somewhat awkward position, he remained calm and composed.
The confidence on the young man's face, as though everything was under control, left Jun Huang momentarily dazed.
Have I... never really gotten to know him properly?
Jun Huang's hand, which had been waving the riding crop, stopped at some point.
Her heart was filled with complicated thoughts, along with an indescribable sense of emptiness.
The timid, trouble-fearing brat from before seemingly really no longer needed her.
When faced with major matters, his confidence and bearing were enough to make everyone beneath the heavens marvel.
In a moment of distraction, she unconsciously stopped suppressing the young man.
When she came back to her senses, she saw that the beautiful young man had already straightened up.
Or rather, he had moved directly in front of her.
The Golden-Haired Princess's cheeks involuntarily flushed, and she felt both embarrassed and angry.
He was certainly handsome, but why did she feel that his expression was so punchable?
I still have to bully him a little!
But before she could put that thought into practice, she heard him speak.
"Everything is within my grasp, but I can't do without you."
"I know Sis Huang is my strongest backing. That's why I can act without restraint."
Su Qing spoke in a gentle tone.
"All right, all right, don't get so close. Go sit over there properly."
Jun Huang unconsciously leaned back a little and spoke awkwardly.
The emptiness in her heart seemed to be filled considerably at that moment.
"Sis Huang, now that we've finished discussing business, shouldn't we talk about some personal matters?"
"The Chen Family does have a problem. We caught one after another. Sis Huang, are you willing to honor your bet?"
Su Qing got up and sat down, asking with a smile.
He did not sit across from the princess. Instead, he sat directly beside her.
"Of course. Go on, what do you want me to do this time?"
Jun Huang gave a soft snort.
She crossed her arms and looked at the young man, her composure perfectly steady.
Last time, he had asked her for help. This time would probably be much the same.
In any case, he would not dare make an overly outrageous request of her, so there was no need to worry.
Under such a gaze, the Golden-Haired Princess regained her usual bearing.
In the blink of an eye, she had transformed from a queenly tutor into an aloof beauty like an iceberg.
Under such a gaze, those petty villains with dark thoughts would probably be intimidated into retreating.
"I hope you can extend your leg in front of me, Sis Huang. Be good and don't resist."
Su Qing directly made this outrageous request.
Such a demand was clearly brazen to the extreme.
Jun Huang looked at the young man in disbelief.
After realizing that his expression was serious, the Princess's face revealed a hint of disdain.
Since she had given her word, she naturally had to keep her promise.
"I'm warning you. Don't go too far."
Jun Huang warned him harshly, then lifted her long, beautiful leg with great reluctance.
Beneath her skirt, her perfectly proportioned, slender leg was bare, its skin the color of ivory jade.
Not only was the visual impact overwhelming, but merely looking at it made it impossible to doubt that it would feel perfect to the touch.
How could Su Qing possibly just look?
He completely ignored her threatening gaze and reached out his hand.
He gripped her ankle.
Her ankle was slender enough to fit in one hand, revealing the jade-like foot wrapped in a high heel.
Her fair skin was flawless, and even her faint bluish veins could be seen.
His other hand was not idle either. He gently pressed it against her elastic calf.
His fingers pressed down lightly, carefully savoring the sensation.
Although he did not touch above the knee, he gently caressed everything from her calf to her foot.
Jun Huang's originally tense body became weak and boneless in an instant.
Having her weakness seized by a man was an unprecedented experience that left her flustered.
"You nasty brat, your dirty thoughts can finally no longer stay hidden?"
The Golden-Haired Princess spoke in a voice full of disdain.
Her voice was louder than usual, as though she wanted to reprimand him.
But anyone could tell that this was clearly an expression of embarrassment.
Su Qing raised his head, wanting to see the expression of this Iceberg Royal Sister.
But she turned her face away and refused to meet his gaze.
"Stop acting so carefree here, or I'll complain to your sister!"
"You've pretended to be a little white rabbit for so many years. You wouldn't want your image completely ruined in front of your sister, would you?"
Jun Huang felt that she had lost face and spoke viciously.
"Sis Huang, shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
Su Qing could not help laughing.
He could clearly see the flush spreading across the Princess's cheeks.
Her long, beautiful leg was stretched taut, while her body trembled slightly from nervousness.
Her adorable appearance made him want to tease her properly.
But he was not trying to take advantage of her. He was merely measuring her size.
After collecting the data, he withdrew his hand without hesitation.
"Th-this is it?"
Jun Huang subconsciously asked as she felt the warm sensation abruptly stop.
Her dignified phoenix eyes held plainly visible confusion, along with a faint sense of disappointment.
"It's already over. Otherwise, what did you think?"
"I need to make a set of protective gear and give it to you as a gift."
Su Qing picked up paper and brush and began drawing a design.
"You... you're giving a gift to some young girl from which family? The Qin Family?"
The tips of Jun Huang's ears had turned red, and she spoke in an icy voice.
She felt that she had been toyed with, but she had no proof.
"It's for the Jun Family. Isn't your birthday coming up, Sis Huang?"
Su Qing answered casually.
The Princess, who had forgotten about it because she was nervous, stopped breathing for a moment.
My coming-of-age ceremony is almost here, and this brat actually remembered?
The Princess could not help feeling touched.
However, there was no way she would show it.
"I... I can have anything I want. Why would I wear something you designed?"
"I don't care for anything too cheap."
Jun Huang lifted her head slightly, her voice a little hurried.
"Everyone is responsible for protecting beautiful legs. This is a treasure!"
"You'll definitely like it. Once you put it on, you won't want to take it off."
Su Qing completely ignored her tsundere act and spoke with righteous conviction.
"I don't believe you."
Jun Huang snorted disdainfully.
"Want to bet?"
Su Qing asked with a smile.
"This Princess isn't afraid of you!"
Jun Huang immediately replied.
If it had been something else, she might have hesitated.
But with something like this, wasn't the decision entirely up to her?
No matter what, she could not lose again!
At the same time, Qin Lan Shan received a letter that had inexplicably appeared on her desk.
Her hand gripped the pure-white letter, and she remained speechless for a long time.
The contents were extremely simple.
If she wanted to save Chen Chu Ci, she needed to trick the young master of the Su Family into coming to...
