Chapter 1048: Chapter 1049: He Has No Other Choice Chapter 1048: Chapter 1049: He Has No Other Choice An Jing looked at Gong Juechen, soaking wet and sitting there as the water poured off him, and felt sowhat unable to bear the sight. She spoke up, “Why don’t you just take off your clothes? They will dry faster that way.”
Han Xinche had thought that he wouldn’t get the chance to see today whether Gong Juechen had a birthmark on his waist, but upon hearing An Jing’s words, hope surged in him again. Although he appeared to be focused on fishing, the corner of his eyes remained watchful of Gong Juechen.
However, when Gong Juechen heard An Jing’s words, he imdiately crossed his arms in an exaggerated pose, clutching himself like a wronged woman of a good family, “My body has never been seen by a woman before; it’s for my wife’s eyes only, you can’t have designs on !”
An Jing couldn’t help but be speechless. After a long pause, she said irritably, “Suit yourself whether you strip or not!”
Her words were no doubt a signal that she was done bothering with him—whatever he wished to do was up to him.
Gong Juechen, however, gave Xiao Changyi a mischievous look and said, “Changyi, I think I should strip.”
Xiao Changyi didn’t even bother to look at him before responding with two words, “Keep them on.”
“Hahaha…” Gong Juechen imdiately burst into laughter, “Jingjing, you see, your husband doesn’t want you to see my body at all, hahaha…”
Gong Juechen was clearly making a joke, but Xiao Changyi didn’t care in the least. He truly did not want his wife to see the body of any man other than himself.
An Jing felt sweetly contented.
Han Xinche just thought Gong Juechen must be out of his mind. If you knew Prince Yi was like this, that would have been all well and good, but why would you blurt it out so brazenly?
But then, Han Xinche rembered that Gong Juechen could very likely be his nephew, and he sighed deeply in his heart.
If this man really was his nephew, he would recognize him.
To revitalize the Han Clan, he had no other choice.
Just as An Jing and Xiao Changyi were about half-done grilling the fish, soone from the Great General’s residence arrived.
The man whispered a few words to Han Xinche, who imdiately stopped fishing and, with a fist in palm, said to Xiao Changyi and An Jing, “Prince, Princess, this General has so matters to attend to at ho and must leave now. Thus, I shall take my leave.”
Before An Jing and Xiao Changyi could respond, Gong Juechen suddenly said in a flurry of urgency, “Great General, the big crucian carp isn’t ready yet. Don’t you want to wait a bit longer? This is my humble way of repaying the Great General for saving my life; you must eat it before you leave.”
Han Xinche felt like cursing soone. Aside from having no sha and being an oddity, this guy was particularly clueless.
“Palace Doctor Gong jokes,” said Han Xinche, without lingering on further talk, and turned to leave.
“Eh, eh, eh Great General…” Gong Juechen looked bewildered, his expression crying out, ‘why don’t you eat my fish before leaving?’
Gong Juechen had displayed even more peculiar behavior that An Jing and Xiao Changyi had seen before, so now, both of them couldn’t be bothered with Gong Juechen’s peculiar desire to repay lifesaving gratitude with a crucian carp.
As for Han Xinche’s visit to fish and subsequent departure, An Jing and Xiao Changyi treated it as nothing more than a minor interlude, not paying it much mind.
But Gong Juechen couldn’t ignore it.
Today, if he hadn’t shown his uncle his waist, his uncle surely wouldn’t let the matter rest.
It was also at this mont that Gong Juechen had a bit of understanding for the Emperor of Xiyun. If everyone didn’t keep to their own business, how could there be anything to worry about?
Involuntarily, Gong Juechen looked over at Xiao Changyi, who was warmly grilling fish with An Jing. If only every person of great achievent could be like Xiao Changyi…
“Jingjing, just because that Great General didn’t eat my big crucian carp, don’t go back on your promise to give the other fish, okay?” Gong Juechen spoke again, looking utterly foolish.
