Chapter 79: Chapter 79: What Was It Called Then?
Ji Luochen looked at the girl whose small hand was clasping onto his sleeve and couldn’t help but think of his past life.
Several times, he was in so much pain that he almost fainted, yet he was still dealing with official duties.
Back then, she also pulled at his sleeve like this, her eyes seemingly brimming with tears.
However, unlike today, she would start to speak then stop, but never actually said a word to persuade him.
“Did you think of saying these things in the last life?” Ji Luochen suddenly asked.
“I did, many times,” Mu Lingyun nodded.
“Why didn’t you say it?”
“Because back then you had no other choice, you could only desperately support the Ji Royal Family, even though you probably couldn’t change its fate. It’s different now, you’re no longer the Crown Prince of the Ji Royal Family, you have other options. So, don’t be like the last life, okay?” Mu Lingyun returned to the original topic.
Facing her concerned gaze, Ji Luochen was silent for a long time, but ultimately nodded: “Alright, I’ll listen to you. From now on, work nine to five, clock in and out on time, weekends off. Outside of work hours, I’ll try not to touch anything work-related, unless it’s an emergency. Xiao Kai, pass this on.”
“Okay,” Xiao Kai agreed, his eyes wide with surprise, his face full of joy.
It turned out that Mu Lingyun should indeed be enshrined. Amazing, with just a few words, she had liberated everyone.
He now worshipped Mu Lingyun to the ground.
This great news, he had to quickly spread.
Thinking this, he left the dining room.
Seeing Xiao Kai gone, Ji Luochen looked at Mu Lingyun with a smile on his lips and continued, “I’ve agreed to this for you, so shouldn’t you show some appreciation?”
Mu Lingyun was dazzled by the smile on his lips and boldly stated, “Whatever you ask, I agree to it.”
“I want you, on holidays, to always stay with me. You know, aside from Xiao Kai, there’s no one beside me who knows about my past life, no one to talk to, it gets too boring,” said Ji Luochen seriously.
“Aren’t you, not fond of talking and chatting with people?” Mu Lingyun thought about it and asked.
“That…that was before…you said you’d agree to anything. Do you want to go back on your word?” Ji Luochen’s voice raised slightly, yet still pleasant to the ear.
“I won’t go back on it; I said I’d agree, so of course, I’ll agree.” But in her heart, she regretted that seeing his smile, she promised to agree to anything.
Indeed, beauty can lead one astray.
“And there’s more…” After receiving a positive answer, Ji Luochen continued. @@novelbin@@
“There’s more?” Mu Lingyun looked at Ji Luochen with feeble resistance and asked, “What else is there?”
“Also, didn’t you say that I’m no longer the Crown Prince from the past life? Then why do you keep calling me ‘Your Highness’? If you want me to make different choices than in the past, but address me as you did then, do you think that’s appropriate?”
Uh…
Mu Lingyun felt that Ji Luochen made a good point.
“Then what do you think I should call you?” Mu Lingyun showed willingness to compromise.
“Do you remember what you called me, in the last life, when you…when you were lying on top of me, begging me to take you to the Imperial Library?” Ji Luochen hesitated for a good while before he barely got the words out.
“I don’t remember,” Mu Lingyun stated. In her last life, in order to complete her mission, she had done all sorts of shameless things, even calling out ‘daddy,’ how could she remember what she called him, “What did I call you then?”
What do you think?
