Chapter 91: Chapter 91: The Law of True Fragrance
Xiao Kai was driving while Mu Lingyun and Ji Luochen sat in the back.
After the car started, Mu Lingyun held her milk tea, inserted the straw, and took a sip.
The cool, fragrant flavor touched her lips, spreading sweetness throughout her senses, making her feel instantly satisfied.
After she drank, she noticed Ji Luochen watching her. On a whim, she passed the milk tea over and said, “It’s very tasty, do you want to try some?”
Ji Luochen never drank milk tea, let alone from someone else’s cup.
But captivated by Mu Lingyun’s cherry-like lips and her curved brows and eyes, he leaned over and took a sip from her milk tea.
...
Mu Lingyun:…
He drank it.
And… he used the straw she had used…
Mu Lingyun thought he wouldn’t drink, so this sip completely baffled her.
She could only ask in astonishment, “Does it taste good?”
Ji Luochen nodded, “It’s okay, but still, there’s the same issue, it’s too sweet.”
Xiao Kai, driving in front, saw the two via the rear-view mirror and his lips twitched.
Wasn’t His Highness someone who never drank milk tea? Why did he take a sip today?
Moreover, this act of feeding milk tea, wasn’t it just too sickly sweet?
It even made his teeth ache.
“Hmm. Next time I’ll ask them to put less sugar.” After Mu Lingyun spoke, she realized she had said something similar before.
To ease the awkwardness, she put down the milk tea and pulled out the Starlight Necklace she had purposefully kept in her small bag and handed it to Ji Luochen.
“Is this for me?” Ji Luochen looked at the necklace, somewhat surprised.
She had mentioned buying gifts for the family, but he didn’t expect there to be one for him too.
“I think this necklace suits His Highness… um, suits you very well, Luochen, so I bought it on a whim to give to you,” Mu Lingyun said with a light smile.
Although Ji Luochen accepted the item, he didn’t look at it and simply put it into his pocket, “I’ll accept the gift, but I never wear such things, and the same goes for this necklace.”
Mu Lingyun just smiled and said nothing.
Actually, as long as Ji Luochen accepted it, she didn’t really expect him to wear it.
Xiao Kai first dropped Mu Lingyun at the Rong Family home, and after she went inside with her big and small bags, he continued driving towards the Ji family home.
Xiao Kai thought that all the big and small bags were Mu Lingyun’s, so when he saw that Mu Lingyun left Ji Luochen with a sizable bag, he was somewhat surprised.
“Boss, what’s in this bag?” he asked.
When Ji Luochen was asked, he glanced at the bag and remembered the joyful look on Mu Lingyun’s face when she picked out clothes for him, which lifted his spirits a bit, and his lips curved slightly, “Clothes.”
Maybe because he was in a good mood, he took out the Starlight Necklace Mu Lingyun gave him, opened it to take a look, and then nonchalantly put it around his neck, and checked himself in the rear mirror of the seat. He thought it looked pretty good, so satisfied, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Xiao Kai’s lips twitched again at Ji Luochen’s answer, surprised that His Highness had actually gone shopping and bought a shirt.
While he was still in shock, he saw Ji Luochen put on the necklace and close his eyes contentedly.
His eyes twitched fiercely, wasn’t this… didn’t he just say that he never wore necklaces, and he wouldn’t wear this one either?
How come it now looked like he was quite pleased wearing it?
Could this be the inescapable law of “actual delight”?
Xiao Kai finally understood that after meeting Mu Lingyun, all the “nevers” and “never befores” didn’t matter.
Only Mu Lingyun mattered.
So, venerating Mu Lingyun wasn’t wrong at all.
