Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Shopping
Suddenly, someone popping up and insisting on kowtowing to you would be absolutely terrifying.
Mu Lingyun declared that, of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was best.
“Don’t go, ah, it’s just three kowtows, and I’ll be done soon!” Xiao Kai was pulling on her sleeve, refusing to let her leave no matter what.
“Xiao Kai, have you lost your mind? For no reason at all, why would you kowtow to me?” Mu Lingyun held her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Only then did Xiao Kai explain the whole story.
Mu Lingyun’s mouth twitched slightly, “If you really must kowtow, do it in that direction, and then set up your phone over there. Record it for them to see! I understand their sentiment, and that’s enough for me, but don’t kowtow towards me—I’m afraid I’ll have nightmares.”
Although she had been an emperor before, receiving everyone’s deep bows and kowtows, this was, after all, modern society, and she certainly had no habit of accepting kowtows in present-day society.
Having heard Mu Lingyun’s words, Xiao Kai thought this was a feasible solution.
He had kowtowed, and Mu Lingyun was aware of his sentiment. This wasn’t like delivering food; one didn’t have to watch the other person eat it all, right?
Thinking this way, he went ahead and did just that.
Glancing at Xiao Kai who was really about to kowtow towards the air, Mu Lingyun helplessly shook her head and then proceeded to go upstairs.
In the end, she found Ji Luochen in his study.
At that moment, Ji Luochen was dealing with some work.
“Your Highness, you’re still working? Didn’t we agree on taking the weekends off?” Mu Lingyun asked.
Ji Luochen just gave her a cool glance and showed no intention of acknowledging her.
“Your Highness… Your Highness…” Mu Lingyun continued to call out to him twice more.
He continued to ignore her.
Well, it seemed that if she didn’t call him ‘Brother Luochen’, he wasn’t going to pay her any attention.
Mu Lingyun felt somewhat helpless and finally could only sidle over, smiling and saying, “Brother Luochen, are you angry and that’s why you’re ignoring me?”
Upon hearing this, Ji Luochen’s expression immediately softened, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly. But he replied without betraying any emotion, “No, I’m not angry. These tasks are just wrapping up. I’ll be done in a little while.”
“Alright then, hurry up and finish,” Mu Lingyun said before running off to sit on a couch by the side and play with her phone, waiting for Ji Luochen to finish his work.
While playing on her phone, Mu Lingyun saw a message from her roommate inviting her to go shopping together.
But since she had just agreed to accompany the Crown Prince, and it wouldn’t be right to take the Crown Prince shopping with her roommate, she declined.
However, her roommate’s suggestion truly tempted her.
Since her rebirth into this world, she hadn’t been shopping yet.
After receiving pocket money from her family, she hadn’t experienced the thrill of shopping either.
“Your Highness…” She lay on the couch, her legs bent, propping her chin with her hands as she looked towards Ji Luochen.
“What did you call me?” Ji Luochen looked over at her, his voice somewhat cold.
“Hehe… um… Brother Luochen, can we go shopping later? It’s been so long since I last went shopping,” Mu Lingyun said.
Ji Luochen, looking at the girl lying on the couch, couldn’t help but recall the image of the young girl lying on top of him.
Back then, she also asked him in the same way whether it was okay.
“Sure, where do you want to go shopping?”
His expression was unusually tender, as if it was shrouded in a layer of gentle sunlight, yet his voice carried an almost imperceptible huskiness.
“How about we go to Chaotian City?”
Chaotian City was also a place by the river, not only with a good location and fantastic environment but also filled with high-end brands.
She had wanted to explore it for a quite a while, but the opportunity had never arisen.
“Okay. We’ll set off in an hour and a half. Do you need a stylist? To help you with makeup and styling?” Ji Luochen agreed to Mu Lingyun’s request without any hesitation.
