Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Introverted and Reserved
The kiss lasted a long time before it ended.
After it ended, Mu Lingyun lay softly in Ji Luochen’s arms, panting slightly.
Ji Luochen, quite helplessly, held her and asked, “Mu Lingyun, what on earth are you doing?”
“I told you, my first kiss ended before I felt anything, so I had to kiss again. Even if you didn’t agree, it wouldn’t matter,” Mu Lingyun said somewhat arrogantly, her hand still hanging on his neck, panting in his embrace.
“First kiss?” Ji Luochen murmured, repeating it.
“Of course, you don’t believe?” Mu Lingyun frowned, wondering if that was why he hadn’t responded to her.
...
This needed to be made clear.
“Including past and present lives, this is a first kiss, guaranteed!” Mu Lingyun declared earnestly.
Ji Luochen was silent.
Although Mu Lingyun spoke with certainty, and although he also hoped it was true,
he still couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
Because, on the day of his death in his previous life, he was certain that she was at Li Mountain Hot Spring Palace.
And she was with some male consorts.
Did he have to believe that there was nothing but pure friendship between her and those male consorts?
Thinking this, he said indifferently, “The kiss has been given, can you get up now?”
Mu Lingyun was about to get up but then noticed something reflective on Ji Luochen’s neck.
Didn’t he never wear necklaces?
She subtly tugged at him, just to see it clearly, and the necklace around his neck was indeed the one she had given him.
Her hand remained clinging to his body, her head buried in his embrace, and she chuckled.
His Highness is truly a reserved person.
On the surface, he says he doesn’t wear necklaces, including the one she gave.
But his body was very honest.
No wonder earlier, when doing acupuncture, it was always she who had to undress, but these days he had been sneakily going to the resting room to take off his clothes.
Was he afraid she would see the necklace?
Ha ha!
Ji Luochen felt the girl burying her face in his chest, laughing out, the warm breath through his clothes brushing over his chest, giving him a tingling sensation.
The feeling even spread, making him suddenly restless and uneasy.
“Mu Lingyun, what are you doing? Get up!” he said, his voice hoarse with restraint.
Mu Lingyun looked up, gently bit his chin, and then jumped away from his embrace.
The warm sensation withdrawing, Ji Luochen felt somewhat lost and empty, the warmth still lingering on the place she had bitten.
He instinctively covered it with his hand, but that feeling, even when held, could not remain.
“Mu Lingyun, what exactly are you trying to do?” Ji Luochen asked, frowning.
“Nothing much, I forgive you,” Mu Lingyun said as she bent down to pick up the needles used for acupuncture.
Ji Luochen was initially stunned, then laughed at the absurdity.
She… had forcibly kissed him, twice, and even… bitten him once, and he hadn’t said he forgave her.
What right did she have to say that?
“I forgive you for not replying to my messages,” Mu Lingyun said, seeing Ji Luochen’s bewildered face, and repeated it with a smile.
The moment she saw the necklace around his neck, she felt that she could forgive him for everything.
On hearing this, Ji Luochen suddenly picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and saw the messages she had sent him.
Indeed, he hadn’t replied to her.
The moment he saw her message saying that he was better-looking than a sunflower, he thought to himself, she was the sunflower in his heart, making all other sunflowers look bland.
So she was the person who was prettier than those sunflowers.
He hadn’t replied because he couldn’t find the words to say that.
