Pet Addiction: The Prince’s Desire to Spoil His Pet - Chapter 93 - My Little Girl (83)
Chapter 93 : My Little Girl (83)
Sheng Qianmo pulled her into his arms and coaxed her with whispers. Although Shu Nuan said nothing, her attitude gradually softened.
In other words, Shu Nuan had no temper to begin with. And yet, why would she be angry at him?
However, Sheng Qianmo noticed that he’d lifted her thin dress inadvertently. Her lower leg was had a reddish hue. He knew that her skin was too delicate, but he’d never expected that he would end up treating her this harshly. He’d been drunk and his lust had gotten over him, which was why he hadn’t managed to control his power. He’d ended up hurting her when his body had rubbed against hers.
Sheng Qianmo went over to get an ointment. Shu Nuan was still looking down and told him she wanted to wipe it herself. He could see the tip of her ear was flushed and realised she was embarrassed, so he didn’t force her.
But Shu Nuan was even more embarrassed because where the ointment was to be applied wasn’t very proper, and Sheng Qianmo was staring right at her. How could she do such a shameful act in front of him?
Shu Nuan looked up at him unwillingly. Aggrieved, she muttered for him to go out. But Sheng Qianmo’s expression showed that he wanted to watch. From the beginning, he’d had no intention to avert his gaze. She bit her lip and threw the ointment to the bedside, and then she crouched and hugged her knees.
She looked sullen.
Sheng Qianmo knew what she’d been thinking, and when he saw her lose her temper, he smiled, and said, “You little girl, what did This Prince do that made you angry again?”
Shu Nuan persisted in nestling her knees and held her tongue.
A little while passed, and Sheng Qianmo sat down beside her. He picked up the ointment she’d thrown aside, then reached out her slender ankle and placed onto his legs. Although Shu Nuan was sulking, she didn’t fight or resist him. Even her temper was at his disposal.
Fortunately, Sheng Qianmo was only putting a cool ointment to her bruise. After that, Shu Nuan skirt was put down.
“It’s quite late. Go to bed.”
Without speaking to him, Shu Nuan her thin ankles from atop his legs and rolled over to lie down covered with the quilt.
However, Shu Nuan felt stuffy inside it. A long time passed and she didn’t hear if Sheng Qianmo had walked away. Little by little, she pulled off the quilt, revealing her small flushed face. As she did, Sheng Qianmo moved closer and looked at her with his deep, dark eyes. Shu Nuan couldn’t help but purse her lip and frown.
By all means, Sheng Qianmo reached over in gentle and rubbed her hair. He coaxed, “Don’t be angry, okay?”
Shu Nuan face was flushed. With an annoyed face and a calm voice, she said, “Your Highness, please don’t drink so much next time.”
Sheng Qianmo nodded his head and came over to embrace her little body. He held her into his bosom and continued to coax her.
“This Prince promises I will not make the little brat unhappy.”
The corners of Shu Nuan’s mouth turned up a little, and she asked in a keen manner, “Who is that little brat…”
He bowed his head and touched her forehead and, in a soft voice, said “You are my little brat.”
He used such a gentle tone, as if he regarded her as a precious little darling.
No woman could refuse such gentleness. And Shu Nuan was still a young girl. For a moment, she was afraid of being caught up in the pampering. For a short moment, she almost forgot her identity. Just like what Sheng Qianmo had said, she was his little brat.

The next day in Ji Manor.
When Xili woke up, she had a splitting headache. She slowly got out of bed. When she pushed the door open, the cold wind blew into the yard. Xili turned a little sober and began to vaguely remember that she’d been escorted back by a man after she’d been drunk last night, and that she’d kissed that man.
Right… Had it been Sheng Qianmo?
Ji Xili lifted her lips slightly and pondering. Just then, a young man came into the yard and she looked up. The man coming over was Ji Xubai. He threw something towards her, and Ji Xili wrinkled her brow and reached out with her hand. It was a piece of jade.
Ji Xili’s frown deepened.
“What is the meaning of this?”
Ji Xubai replied in a frosty manner, “The man who brought you back last night dropped it.”
Ji Xili was oddly tense as she strokes the jade seal in her hand. She asked her brother, “Who was it?”
Ji Xubai maintained his composure and said, “Naturally, it’s not the person you want.”
“Xubai!” she said, staring at him with a blank expression. She was stiffly gripping the jade in her hand.
So it wasn’t him?
“Fifth Prince,” said Ji Xubai, and left.
Ji Xili heard his words and was at a loss for a long time, before she came back to her senses. She clenched the jade seal in her hand, her fingers trembling hard.
Sheng Zhiyu… Had she kissed the Fifth Prince?
Ji Xili felt it was ridiculous.
Although Sheng Zhiyu was only a year younger than her, she’d always regarded him as a younger brother. Although she hadn’t been conscious last night, she was sure she’d kissed him.
She’d been drunk and in a confused state of mind, so she’d regarded Sheng Zhiyu as Sheng Qianmo. But why had he kissed her back?
Either way, this was unacceptable for Ji Xili.
If it was the first, she didn’t know what Sheng Zhiyu would think of her. After all, they all grew up together, and all the others knew she liked Sheng Qianmo. She didn’t know what she’d said to him the previous night while she’d been drunk.
But if it was the second option…
Why had Sheng Zhiyu persisted in kissing her?
Luckily, Ji Xili found a reason. He must’ve been drunk too!
What two drunken people had done shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Perhaps, Sheng Zhiyu didn’t remember it at all.
When she thought of it, Ji Xili gave a sigh of relief.

The day after the examination results came out, all the students went to the Yulin Academy.
Some people were happy; others were sad.
Qi Yue greeted Shu Nuan, “Shu Nuan is here to support us. Our lucky Star, it’s great that you’ve arrived!”
Several people’s scores were good. Qi Yue and Su Hai’s grades had steadily advanced to Class 9. And another student had stepped into Class 9 as well.
Su Hai grabbed Shu Nuan shoulders and shouted excitedly, “My lucky star, I got into Class 9 for the first time in my life!”
Shu Nuan was slightly hurt by his excitement, and she pushed his hand away so he could restrain himself.
Then Qi Yue became nervous about Shu Nuan’s grades, because he couldn’t find her name at a glance. He couldn’t help but whisper, “Shu Nuan, you didn’t fail, right?”
Shu Nuan didn’t speak and looked up at the ranking list.
Su Hai became nervous after hearing Qi Yue’s words.
“Really, you handed in your papers so quickly and didn’t check them properly-”
Before his words had fallen, Su Hai heard an exclamation.
“Son of a bitch!”
Su Hai was surprised and roared at him, “What are you howling about?”
“Oh my God!”
“How could this be?!”
“Shu Nuan!”
“Are you a conceited person?!”
