Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Finish Work Early
“Forget it, just bear with it,” Mu Lingyun reminded herself desperately in her heart; the most important thing was the acupuncture. All she could do was to covertly touch a little while administering the needles.
Therefore, Mu Lingyun bowed her head and tried her best to perform acupuncture on Ji Luochen earnestly.
Ji Luochen watched the young girl in front of him, who was engrossed in giving him acupuncture, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
She actually blushed; this was somewhat unexpected to him. He wondered what it would taste like to bite into those reddened cheeks.
Yet she was this shy just by rolling up her sleeves; if they were to do other things, wouldn’t she start crying?
What would she look like crying over these things, would she have that moving appearance with crystalline tears hanging on her eyelashes?
Ji Luochen lowered his head, moving a bit closer to the girl.
He wanted to see.
Both harboring their own ulterior motives, yet neither daring to act, after half an hour, Mu Lingyun finally completed the entire set of acupuncture.
Then, she took a deep breath and said somewhat hurriedly, “That’s it for tonight, I’m going back now.”
After speaking, she hurried off.
She really didn’t want to stay here any longer; it was pure torture. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself from pushing Ji Luochen away.
Seeing Mu Lingyun’s fleeing steps, Ji Luochen thought she was shy, so his mouth curled up slightly, and he felt pleased.
“Xiao Kai,” he called out towards the door.
“What’s up?” Xiao Kai suddenly appeared and asked Ji Luochen.
Glancing towards the door, Ji Luochen said indifferently, “Go see if she needs to be escorted.”
“No need,” Xiao Kai waved his hand, “the Rong Family’s driver, Uncle Liang, has been here for half an hour already.”
Hearing this, Ji Luochen did not say anything further.
However, Xiao Kai sneakily eyed the empty bowl and seeing Ji Luochen in a good mood, he ventured to ask, “Your Highness, did you finish the noodles made by Mu Lingyun?”
“Do you have an objection?” Ji Luochen asked in return while continuing his work.
“None, I just find it miraculous. It’s the first time she cooked noodles and dared to serve them to Your Highness, and you even finished them. Mu Lingyun really is the first.”
Xiao Kai knew just how picky the person in front of him was; what they considered delicious might still be far from meeting the Crown Prince’s standards.
Ji Luochen stopped what he was doing, looked up at Xiao Kai, and asked, “Are you saying this was her first time cooking noodles?”
“Most likely, I saw her consulting Mrs. Rong on the phone, and it was Mrs. Rong who guided her step by step,” Xiao Kai answered.
Ji Luochen diverted his gaze, his mouth curling up for the nth time; then, he put aside his work and stood up, phone in hand.
“Where are you going, Your Highness?” Xiao Kai inquired.
“Off work, take a bath, go to bed,” Ji Luochen stated blandly and left nonchalantly.
Xiao Kai: …
It’s just past seven in the evening!
Ending work this early?
Going to take a bath and sleep this early?
The sun must be rising from the west, right?
Everyone knows that despite his poor health, he’s definitely a workaholic, usually working until nine o’clock at night.
The companies that work directly with him adjust their schedules to match his, with some working from nine to five, while others starting at one in the afternoon and not finishing until nine in the evening.
An early finish like today definitely signals a change in the weather.
So he took out his WeChat and sent a message in the work group.
[The Crown Prince has finished work to take a bath and sleep, everyone can get off work now, thank you for your hard work.]
