Li Shi watched as He Ya Ru, at that moment unwilling to meet his gaze, slightly lowered her head in a clear acknowledgment of her mistake. He couldn't help but stroke his chin.

What does it feel like, having an elegant and noble lady sitting obediently in front of you, willing to be reprimanded?

Li Shi wasn't sure about others, but he felt a sudden urge to stroke her raven hair, much like petting a cat.

Li Shi controlled his left hand, not raising it.
