Qin Hao pushed open the door. Before he could even clearly see the situation inside the room, a figure threw herself at him.
"Haohao, I missed you so much!"
Shen Suning crashed headlong into Qin Hao's embrace, her hands tightly wrapping around his waist as she buried her face in his chest, rubbing affectionately against him.
Qin Hao was knocked back a step. Smiling, he reached out and hugged her back:
"Just how much did you miss me?"
Qin Hao reached up to stroke her head, but then his hand paused.
The texture felt wrong.
It was no longer that smooth, perfectly round sensation. Instead, it was soft, silky, and flowed in individual strands...
Qin Hao looked down and discovered that Shen Suning's previously bald little head was gone. Now, she had a head of beautiful, black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.
The elegant hair draped softly over her shoulders, making her look incredibly gentle and moving:
"My hair grew out."
Shen Suning looked up at Qin Hao, her beautiful eyes sparkling brightly:
"Does it look good?"
Qin Hao reached out and pinched her cheek. "It looks good. Very good."
At this point, Qin Hao paused. "However, why did you beat up Ah Long and Ah Hu?"
Hearing this, Shen Suning replied with righteous indignation:
"It's all because they stank so much! They completely covered up the scent you left in the courtyard. I couldn't smell you anymore."
After saying that, she buried her head back into his chest, greedily breathing in his scent.
Qin Hao reached out and grabbed her chin:
"Just because of that, you violently attacked two loyal guards?"
"It seems I need to teach you a proper lesson and fix this willful temper of yours!"
With that, Qin Hao swept Shen Suning up into his arms.
Three days later
Shen Suning lay limply on the bed, looking as if all the strength had been drained from her body.
Her long hair was scattered across the pillow, making her face appear even more pale and alluring. Only right now, her beautiful eyes were somewhat unfocused as she gasped heavily for air.
"How about it? Do you still dare to beat people up randomly?" Qin Hao's voice was lazy, carrying a hint of teasing.
Shen Suning turned her head, meeting Qin Hao's smiling eyes. Her cheeks instantly flushed even redder. If the punishment was this...
"I still dare."
Hearing her answer, Qin Hao's eyes widened. Fine then, it seemed he had to do the exact opposite.
"Alright, then keep hitting them. For every time you hit them, I won't see you for a year."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Suning instantly panicked. She grabbed the corner of his clothes and pleaded:
"No, please! I was wrong. I won't dare do it again. I will apologize to them."
Qin Hao nodded. "That's more like it. I have already compensated them on your behalf; just make sure to apologize to them properly."
...
At Qin Kexin's mansion, she sat by the window holding a cup of tea, though the tea had long since gone cold.
From the moment Qin Hao left, she had already planned out exactly how she would teach him a lesson and show him her true colors the next time they met. But it had been three days!
A full three days, and that bastard hadn't shown up once!
"Hah!" Qin Kexin sneered, slamming the cold teacup heavily onto the table:
"He really is a lecher. He flirts and then runs away. What kind of scum is he?"
She stood up and paced around the room, walking in circles over and over again.
"Hmph, it's better if he doesn't come. I, this young lady, am happy to have some peace and quiet!"
She said this out loud, but her feet didn't stop moving, and her eyes kept darting toward the window.
The entrance to the courtyard remained completely empty.
"Tch, come or don't come, I don't care at all."
She told herself this, then walked over to the dressing table and began to doll herself up.
Right at that moment, her door was pushed open. Xiaolan's voice came from outside, sounding somewhat hurried:
"Miss, the Imperial Son has arrived. Should I invite him in?"
Qin Kexin's hand paused, her comb stopping in mid-air. He came?
She abruptly stood up, but realizing she was overreacting, quickly sat back down, maintaining her haughty posture:
"Invite him? What does he think he is? So what if he's here, is there a need to make a fuss?" Qin Kexin snorted coldly. "Let him wait outside. I am busy right now."
Hearing this, Xiaolan was slightly stunned. "Ah? Miss, are you sure you don't want to see the Imperial Son?"
Xiaolan's face was full of confusion. How could this be? During the few days the Imperial Son was away, the young miss clearly looked like she was eagerly awaiting his arrival. Now that he was actually here, she was refusing to see him?
"Why should I see him? What does he think he is?"
Xiaolan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Qin Kexin like this, she didn't know what to say. So, she simply bowed to her and went to reply to Qin Hao.
"Apologies, Imperial Son. My young miss does not wish to see you."
Hearing Xiaolan's words, Qin Hao raised an eyebrow. "She doesn't want to see me?"
Xiaolan bowed to Qin Hao. "Apologies, Imperial Son. My young miss said she is currently busy."
Hearing this, Qin Hao chuckled lightly. "Alright, then I won't see her."
With that, Qin Hao didn't hesitate at all. He simply turned around and left.
Meanwhile, the oblivious Qin Kexin was still sitting at her dressing table, her ears pricked up as she listened to the commotion outside.
"Hmph, this shameless guy will definitely be just like last time. Even though he heard me tell him to get lost, he will still swagger right in."
He would definitely do that!
Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Kexin's mouth curled up slightly. She put down the comb, straightened her collar, and smoothed out her hair.
Then she sat up straight, kept a straight face, and struck that haughty posture again, ready to properly teach Qin Hao a lesson once he barged in.
She was going to let him know that she was not someone to be trifled with.
However, Qin Kexin waited for quite a while, yet there was no sign of Qin Hao coming in.
Qin Kexin frowned. What was going on?
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she thought to herself, "Could it be that this guy is observing me from the shadows?"
Thinking this, Qin Kexin sneered. "Heh, stop hiding. I know you're here."
There was absolutely no sound. She continued to wait for a bit, and then a bit longer.
Still nothing.
Finally, Qin Kexin couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside.
The courtyard was completely empty. There was no sign of him. Only Xiaolan was there, walking back slowly with her head lowered.
"Xiaolan!"
Qin Kexin called out to her. Hearing her voice, Xiaolan shivered and suddenly looked up at Qin Kexin:
"M-Miss, do you have any orders?"
"Where is he?" Qin Kexin asked with a frown.
Xiaolan was a bit confused and asked tentatively, "Is Miss talking about the Imperial Son?"
"The Imperial Son, after hearing you say you were busy, he just left!"
"Left?!" Qin Kexin's chest heaved violently. That bastard, he actually just left? Previously, when she told him to get lost, he forced his way in. But this time, she only said she was busy, and he actually just left?
