I Become a Big Shot in Showbiz

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Don’t Work Yourself to Death Like You Did in Your Last Life

“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but I don’t have a fever,” Xiao Kai said with a smile plastered on his face, making a welcoming gesture, “Since the Empress does not wish for a drink, please come this way, breakfast is ready. Please have a seat in the dining room; I’ll go call the Crown Prince down right away.”

Lingyun’s mouth twitched slightly, but she still followed Xiao Kai to the dining room.

Upon arriving at the dining room, Xiao Kai pulled out a chair for Lingyun to sit down, his face still blooming with a smile: “Please wait a moment, I will go call the Crown Prince to join you for breakfast, it will be quick.”

After saying that, he left.

Lingyun: …

She felt that this Xiao Kai either had a fever that had damaged his brain or had gone mad.

Or perhaps he had been replaced.

As she sat in the dining room for a while, sure enough, Ji Luochen walked in.

Xiao Kai followed behind him.

After taking a seat, Ji Luochen told Xiao Kai to bring in the dishes.

Soon, the table was filled with delicious food.

Then, the three of them began to eat.

In the midst of eating, Xiao Kai was extremely attentive to Lingyun, constantly pouring drinks and serving her food.

He also considerately asked her, “How is the breakfast spread? Does it suit your taste? If not, please let me know what you would like to eat, and I will have it made for you.”

“…” Lingyun felt a throbbing in her temples, “I think it’s quite alright, this is good, no need for something else.”

After speaking, Lingyun leaned over to Luochen and whispered, “Does Xiao Kai have a twin brother or something? Is this his twin?”

“He doesn’t have a twin brother,” Luochen replied and then looked towards Xiao Kai with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

This guy was indeed being unusually attentive to Lingyun today, even to the point of being servile.

He remembered that Xiao Kai used to look down on Lingyun, right? He loved to badmouth her and pick fights with her.

In the previous life, he even wrote a ten-thousand-word denunciation to scold her.

How did he change overnight?

Under Luochen’s gaze, Xiao Kai immediately gave in.

He spread his hands: “I can’t help it, they said, anyone who can get a workaholic to leave work by 7 p.m., bathe, and go to bed, shouldn’t be offended but instead be treated with reverence. Frankly, I found it made sense, so I just…”

Xiao Kai stretched out his hand towards Lingyun: “Have you eaten well? Is there anything else you need? Would you like some dessert or ice cream perhaps?”

Lingyun: …

Luochen: …

“I think you’re saying you don’t think there’s enough overtime,” Luochen said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “Let’s add an hour more from now on, end work at 10 p.m. instead, shall we?”

“No, not that—,” Xiao Kai shrieked, “Boss, you’re setting a pace for a 16-hour workday!”

As he spoke, Xiao Kai made frantic gestures at Lingyun.

Lingyun didn’t notice Xiao Kai’s frantic demeanor; her attention was on their conversation. @@novelbin@@

“So you usually work until 9 p.m., huh?” Lingyun asked, looking at Luochen.

Luochen nodded: “There is a lot to do at the company.”

“Delegate some of the workload then,” Lingyun said seriously to Luochen, “Your heart isn’t in good condition to begin with, and you’re working so hard, it’s simply overdrafting your life. You won’t be able to hold up physically sooner or later. Work is never finished; you can always continue the next day. Why must you work overtime?”

Remembering the previous life, where Luochen’s health was clearly in a dire state, yet he still worked tirelessly, never willing to take a break.

Because he wanted to prop up the tottering, dilapidated dynasty.

Several times, she had seen him pass out in his study.

Back then, no one could persuade him, they couldn’t and dared not.

Because everyone knew that if Luochen stopped, the already storm-battered dynasty would collapse completely.

Recalling this, Lingyun reached out to grasp Luochen’s sleeve, her voice tinged with a barely perceptible cry, “In this life, you are no longer the last Crown Prince born into a dynasty on the brink of collapse. Don’t work yourself to the bone like you did in the last life, okay?”
