Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Promise Me One Thing
Ji Luochen looked at the girl’s unexpected expression and couldn’t help but laugh, “In your eyes, am I such a failure?”
“No.” Mu Lingyun shook her head, “In my heart, our Crown Prince is someone who does great things. Such trivial matters are unworthy of our Crown Prince’s effort.”
Ji Luochen remained silent, matters concerning her were never trivial.
“Come over and eat, stop being sassy.”
Sure enough, Mu Lingyun walked over, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.
After throwing a rib into her mouth, she nodded repeatedly, “Mmm, delicious! It’s really delicious; certainly, something warmed by our Crown Prince.”
...
“Mu Lingyun, you’re lethal. I just warmed it up; what does its taste have to do with me?” Ji Luochen was somewhat helpless yet amused.
“Of course, it does.” Mu Lingyun said seriously, “Food warmed by the Crown Prince always tastes sweeter.”
“Mu Lingyun, I told you not to call me Crown Prince, don’t you remember? Huh?” Ji Luochen simply rolled his eyes at her.
“Alright, alright.” Mu Lingyun immediately compromised, “Food warmed by Brother Luochen also tastes exceptionally sweet and delicious.”
“Then you should eat more,” Ji Luochen said, as he served her several more pieces.
Mu Lingyun was indeed hungry, so she eagerly ate the dishes Ji Luochen served her.
Ji Luochen wasn’t hungry, but watching the girl stuff her mouth was like watching a little chipmunk.
He couldn’t help but reach out to pinch her cheek.
“What are you doing—” Mu Lingyun glared at him, her mouth full of food, and muttered unclearly.
“Seeing you so cute, I couldn’t resist,” Ji Luochen felt his mood lift just by watching her.
“Hmph.” Mu Lingyun glared at him and snorted, distancing herself a bit from him.
Ji Luochen’s smile grew wider, and he wanted to pinch her again. What to do?
–
After the meal, Ji Luochen had the driver come to take them back.
Upon arriving at the doorstep of the Rong Family, Ji Luochen said, “Go in, and go to sleep after a bath.”
After speaking, he didn’t turn and leave, instead, he seemed to want to watch her walk inside.
Mu Lingyun felt puzzled but still opened the door and walked in.
Even as she reached the main building, she looked back and could still see the man standing under the lights, tall and handsome, watching her.
She hurried inside, then ran to her room’s balcony to secretly watch him.
Only then did he get into the car and leave.
Sitting in the rocking chair on the balcony, Mu Lingyun pinched her chin and thought for a while, concluding:
Today’s Ji Luochen was different, very different.
During her sleep, he hadn’t changed his posture for a full three hours.
And after waking up, he even warmed up food for her.
Then, driving her back, he actually wanted to watch her enter the building before leaving…
This was very unusual, like he was too gentle.
It seemed different from before his surgery; back then, he seemed rather upset with her.
Thinking this, she sent Ji Luochen a message.
A Cloud: Brother Luochen, I didn’t mean to hide from you that I am Doctor Y. I wasn’t completely sure I could cure your illness, and I… didn’t want to let you down… However, I promise you, I am working hard to improve my skills and will perform the surgery when I am confident.
Mu Lingyun thought that Ji Luochen might not reply to her message.
But unexpectedly, he replied immediately.
Crown Prince: I see. There’s nothing much about it, but if you feel bad, just promise me one thing.
