I alone am the Honoured One! - Chapter 639

Chapter 639: Did you enjoy it?
Qian Shi’s silver hair fluttered in the gentle night breeze and she turned her gaze towards the corridor just as the sound of hurried footsteps echoed softly through the still night.

Ji Shuang was walking down the corridor to the balcony where she was standing.

H-Huh? Ji Shuang was startled to see Qian Shi standing there and her heartbeat quickened in panic.

‘H-Her Grace… what is she doing here? Don’t tell me…’

With slow steps, she walked to Qian Shi and instantly kneeled on the floor in dread “Your Grace…”

“Hm…” Qian Shi just hummed looking at Ji Shuang who was kneeling on the floor and a sigh escaped her lips.

“So… did you enjoy it?”

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuang’s breath hitched and her heart raced faster as cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.

She struggled to keep her voice steady as she stammered, “F-Forgive me, Your Grace… I did something I shouldn’t have.”

“I-I-I… with Master Tian.”

Qian Shi’s gaze squinted slightly “I don’t want any of that… did you enjoy it or not.”

‘Huh? Enjoy it? Is she testing me? Judging me?’

Her throat tightened, and she bit her trembling lip. W-What to say?

“I-I…” Ji Shuang’s voice faltered as shame and fear battled within her.

She clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms, and squeezed her eyes shut. “I-I did enjoy it,”

Her body shook as she continued, “Even though it was short… I-I liked Master Tian’s touches.”

She decided to be honest, as she knew Qian Shi had some kind of ability that let her see through everything.

Qian Shi gave a faint nod and muttered “Stand up…”

Ji Shuang blinked in surprise ‘Huh? Is she not angry?’

Her mind churned with confusion, but she didn’t dare question the command.

Slowly, she rose to her feet, her head still bowed low, unable to meet Qian Shi’s eyes.

Qian Shi’s gaze flickered to Ji Shuang’s figure, taking in the sight of her disheveled appearance.

Her thin nightdress clung to her body, outlining the full curves of her body.

Her eyes lingered on Ji Shuang’s chest, where her large, overflowing breasts stretched the delicate fabric.

A trace of envy passed through her eyes seeing them.

Her own body is excellent with all perfect curves and a G cup, which she has meticulously molded all these years for Zhao Tian.

On the other hand, Ji Shuang’s is just too big. Her massive, natural proportions were hard to ignore

Her gaze squinted in thought ‘Darling does like big breasts.. well, he likes as long as it fits in his palms and mine is good to squeeze with great suppleness. But I am still scared of this massive lump of meat on her chest.’

‘And hers is inverted right?’

Meanwhile, not knowing Qian Shi’s real thoughts, Ji Shuang was still panicking, thinking what punishment she was going to receive for her blunder.

Letting out a sigh, Qian Shi asked “Shuang… do you like Tian?”

Ji Shuang panicked even more and hurriedly shook her head like a cat “No, No.. Never.. Your Grace. I wouldn’t dare to-”

Hm? Qian Shi’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Ji Shuang coldly “What? Are you telling me that my darling is not worthy of getting your affection and attention?”

Guh! Ji Shuang’s gaze dropped upon hearing this, What?

She had completely misunderstood Qian Shi’s question, and now her rejection seemed like an insult to Zhao Tian.

“No, No, NO! YOUR GRACE! I am the one who is not worthy of Master Tian’s affection…”

With a soft chuckle, Qian Shi replied “I was just teasing.. I know what you meant.”

Ji Shuang exhaled shakily, her shoulders slumping with relief. “Thank you, Your Grace,”

Her heart was still racing, but at least she wasn’t about to face Qian Shi’s wrath.

Looking at her, Qian Shi asked “Though, tell me.. what do you think of Tian.”

Hearing the question, Ji Shuang’s gaze trembled and with a nod, she spoke “He is really a charismatic person… and he has a really great, likable personality.”

“He has a way of drawing people to him without even trying.”

“And he is very… considerate. He seems to take good care of Jia and Jing’er. It’s clear that he values his close ones and treats his lovers with deep affection.”

Qian Shi smiled gently “If you ever come to like him…. Go for it. Don’t restrict your feelings for me.”

“Don’t use me as a reason to not love him.”

Ji Shuang hesitated, her gaze faltering before she finally found the courage to look up at Qian Shi. “Your… Grace,” she managed to say, her voice trembling.

A dark glint passed through Qian Shi’s eyes which made Ji Shuang shudder as she spoke in a possessive tone “Because I know… he will love me the most, no matter how many wives he has.”

“That will never change. So, I won’t mind having you as my sister.”

‘Sister?’ Ji Shuang thought, her chest tightening.

She wasn’t sure if she felt honored, intimidated, or both.

For a moment, she considered protesting, but the look in Qian Shi’s eyes made her think better of it.

Seeing Ji Shuang’s silence, Qian Shi let out a soft sigh, stretching her arms above her head in a graceful arc. “Haa… Well, anyway, I’m heading back.”

“I wanted to see my darling’s first official wedding and I am very satisfied. I shouldn’t intervene any further.”

Just as she took a step forward, Ji Shuang suddenly bowed deeply, her voice hurried and filled with guilt. “Your Grace… I still apologize for not stopping Master Tian from… from entering my bed.”

Qian Shi paused mid-step, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

She shook her head, the silver strands of her hair catching the soft moonlight. “No, it’s alright… Shuang,” she said gently, though her thoughts betrayed the serenity in her tone.

‘After all, I made him do it.’

The Honored One Physique was immune to ordinary intoxication, so Qian Shi had gone to great lengths to procure a rare, potent wine during her private drinking session with Zhao Tian.

The wine, laced with a subtle enchantment, had been enough to dull even his extraordinary senses, leaving him just disoriented enough to mistake Ji Shuang’s room for Yao Jing’s.

With a faint chuckle, she waved her hand dismissively. “Well then, I’ll take my leave. Take good care of my darling for me.”

Ji Shuang lowered her head and Qian Shi disappeared from there.

With a deep breath, Ji Shuang slowly returned back to her room ‘Take good care of Master Tian…’

Ji Shuang entered her chamber and closed the door behind her, leaning against it as she tried to calm her racing heart.

As she moved toward the bed, she looked at Zhao Tian who was still lying there, his breathing steady and calm as he slept soundly.

Ji Shuang stopped at the edge of the bed, her gaze lingering on him.

Biting her lip, Ji Shuang hesitated before crouching slightly, her fingers brushing a stray lock of hair that had fallen across his forehead.

The warmth of his skin surprised her, and for a moment, she froze, afraid she might wake him.

When he remained still, she exhaled softly and gently tucked the strand behind his ear.

Her hand lingered near his face, her eyes tracing every detail—the curve of his lips, the faint stubble on his chin, the serene look on his face.

She couldn’t help but smile faintly.

‘He is really.. so handsome.’

The thought sent a flush of warmth rushing to her cheeks.

She bit her lip again, trying to steady her nerves, but before she could stop herself, she leaned in.

Her heart raced wildly, her breath hitching as her lips softly pressed against his cheek.

The warmth of his skin against hers sent a jolt through her, and she quickly pulled back, her face burning.

‘What am I doing?’ she scolded herself, clutching her chest as she tried to calm her erratic heartbeat.

Her cheeks were burning, and she couldn’t bring herself to meet his sleeping face again.

Finally, she let out a shaky sigh and climbed into bed beside him.

She lay on her side, facing away from him, though she couldn’t help glancing over her shoulder every so often to make sure he was still asleep.

Her blush deepened as she whispered softly to herself, “Master Tian… you’re going to drive me insane.”

Pulling the blanket over herself, she curled up slightly, her mind replaying the brief kiss on his cheek.

Despite her initial embarrassment, a small smile tugged at her lips.

There was something comforting about being this close to him, something that made her feel…
