According to the Empress, he had carried her twice while she was unconscious, hence she did not sense it.
At this moment, however, she was wide awake.
Being carried by a man so intimately made her feel extremely awkward and uneasy.
Moreover, the person carrying her was Lu Tingchen.
Her wary expression sent a hint of impatience flashing across Lu Tingchen's handsome face.
In a few strides, he carried her over to the table and sat her down in a chair.
Chu Jiu stared at the food in front of her in surprise.
He just wanted to let her have her meal…
"Aren't you thinking a bit too much?" Instead of leaving right away, Lu Tingchen stood by the table and knocked on it with his knuckles.
Chu Jiu glanced up at him a little sheepishly. "I…"
"I've said this before, but I'll say it again – no matter how hungry I am, I'll never choose someone like you."
Before Chu Jiu could finish, Lu Tingchen cut her off brusquely.
