Chapter 60 Don't try to fool me...
Qi Min listened quietly as Ling Yi recounted the good qualities he had in her eyes, without responding.
His lowered eyes were calm, showing no joy or happiness; what Ling Yi said was not what he wanted to hear.
"My lord...why aren't you saying anything? Did I say something wrong?"
Ling Yi saw that Qi Min just lowered his head and stared quietly at the quilt without saying a word. He wondered if he had said something wrong, and why Qi Min didn't react.
"Ling Yi, the good things you've said about me are just things I did because I wanted to be good to you, it doesn't mean I'm really that good."
After a few seconds of contemplation, Qi Min slowly spoke, his tone very calm.
Ling Yi couldn't discern his current emotions, and upon hearing Qi Min's words, she only felt puzzled.
In their daily interactions, Qi Min was indeed very kind, and he was also very polite and gentle to the female insects beside him. Ling Yi could tell that this was not a pretense from Qi Min, but rather a habit.
Ling Yi couldn't find any information about Qi Min's background, so he could only guess that the environment of the planet Qi Min lived on must be different from that of the capital planet.
Qi Min's lifestyle and upbringing are definitely not something that can be faked.
Some male insects will also pretend to be gentle and friendly in order to lure unsuspecting females into willingly mating with them.
But the male insect's inherent flaws cannot be changed; traces will always remain in the details of its life, allowing them to be exposed.
"But the powerful ruler is indeed..."
Ling Yi asked again, puzzled, but was interrupted by Qi Min.
"Ling Yi, all the good things I did, as you call them, were because I like you and wanted to be good to you."
If I were assigned to another female insect, I wouldn't do anything for him, do you understand what I mean?
Qi Min looked up at Ling Yi intently, his eyes still filled with doubt and confusion, and he earnestly expressed his thoughts.
"I do not quite understand."
Looking at Qi Min, who was standing in front of him with a serious expression, Ling Yi had a vague idea about what he had said, but he wasn't sure.
"Don't you understand? Let me explain it more clearly. I like you, so I want to be good to you. I might grant you access or something else."
It was only because I like you, and I hoped you would like me the same way. Do you understand now?
Qi Min stared intently into Ling Yi's eyes, his gaze focused and serious.
Ling Yi had just said so many good things about himself, but Qi Min only heard one sentence: "You are a good person." But he wasn't; he was only a good person in front of Ling Yi.
"My lord, you love me..."
Ling Yi frowned slightly, muttering to himself as if he hadn't quite caught on.
"Yes, I like you, so I'm wondering if you like me even a little bit?"
Qi Min's voice was soft and his words were sincere, his gaze towards Ling Yi filled with expectation.
"Naturally..."
"I want to hear the truth, your true feelings, Ling Yi. Don't try to fool me, I can sense it."
Qi Min interrupted Ling Yi before he could finish speaking, emphasizing his point and telling Ling Yi to think before he answered.
"Does it matter? I am already your empress, aren't I?"
Ling Yi frowned slightly, his tone filled with doubt. Qi Min's unusually firm attitude disrupted his thoughts.
He didn't understand why Qi Min was so fixated on this question. In Ling Yi's eyes, he was already Qi Min's queen.
His duty was to accompany and take care of Qi Min; what he liked or disliked wasn't that important.
"So your answer is that you don't like me, right?"
Qi Min's tone was calm, and there was no disappointment in his eyes, as if he had expected Ling Yi to answer in this way.
"No, I don't dislike you!"
Looking at Qi Min's calm expression, Ling Yi felt inexplicably flustered and subconsciously refuted Qi Min's affirmative conclusion.
The topic had already veered off course, but one of them was unaware of it, and the other didn't care.
Qi Min looked at Ling Yi's firm denial, and his originally calm expression suddenly softened, with a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Then tell me, how do you feel about me right now?"
Qi Min's tone remained calm, but a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes.
When Qi Min asked Ling Yi this question, he was at a loss for words. He recalled the feelings he had when he was with Qi Min, but he didn't know how to express his feelings.
"I feel...I...I don't know."
Ling Yi was somewhat flustered, averting his gaze from Qi Min, his voice tinged with confusion.
Qi Min wasn't angry; instead, a pleasant smile appeared on his lips.
All of Ling Yi's hesitation and panic were actually telling her that she was not indifferent to him.
Only after receiving this information did Qi Min realize that what he had done was not in vain.
"You don't know? That's okay, I know... Hmm!"
Qi Min slowly took over Ling Yi's words, then suddenly raised his hand to cover his shoulder, let out a muffled groan, and frowned as if in pain.
"My lord?! Is your wound hurting?"
Ling Yi's attention was instantly drawn to Qi Min's painful breathing. He got up and approached, reaching out to check on Qi Min's condition.
But Qi Min reached out and grabbed her wrist as she was examining it.
"A powerful ruler? Ah... um!" (*'e`*)
Ling Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at Qi Min, who was once again launching a sneak attack on him.
Just a few seconds later, Qi Min loosened his grip on Ling Yi's head, stepped back slightly to create some distance, and then spoke again.
"If I treat you like this, will you hate me?"
Qi Min spoke slowly in a low voice.
Ling Yi felt the moisture on his lips, and before he could speak, Qi Min, who had lost patience, leaned in again.
(?°3°?)?(???e???)∫?
Ling Yi, now released again, had lips tinged with crimson and was breathing slightly erratically.
"So, do you hate it?"
Qi Min spoke again, his voice changing from deep to hoarse, his eyes unfathomable, his left hand still gripping Ling Yi's wrist.
His right hand, however, was placed behind Ling Yi's head and gently stroked it, as if he was ready to continue at the slightest disagreement.
Ling Yi, who was originally bending over to check, has somehow changed to sitting sideways on the edge of the bed, with half of his body embraced by Qi Min.
"No...I don't hate it!"
Ling Yi, who was still trying to catch his breath, felt the force of the pause at the back of his head and quickly answered.
"Well... how about this..."
Qi Min's unfinished words disappeared into the air.
……………((●-3)(e-●))…………
"Now, do you feel offended by what you're doing to me?"
Qi Min looked at Ling Yi, who was leaning against him and trying to calm his breathing, and asked again with a pleasant smile. His voice was steady.
"..."
Ling Yi's breathing was erratic; he hadn't yet recovered from the shock of what had just happened. Everything had happened too fast.
Ling Yi's mind was still a mess. Qi Min, taking advantage of his injury,
As soon as Ling Yi showed any sign of resistance, he cried out in pain, even though Ling Yi knew that...
