Chapter 258 How about I pledge my love to you?
Luo Xingchen was about to struggle one last time and cry out loudly, when Chen Ji, who had been standing next to him as a background, spoke slowly:
"Chen'er is still too young. Miss Luo talked to him a lot, and he vaguely understood it in his heart, but it is still a child's nature and he cannot control himself.
When he grows up, he will know that people have to compromise on some things and cannot always act according to their own temperament.
Miss Luo, do you think I am right? "
"Your Highness is right. It is good advice!" Luo Xiaoran flattered Chen Ji as usual, and then instructed Luo Xingchen:
"Chen'er, you must listen to your uncle when you live here. Eat well, sleep well, study hard, and keep fit. Can you promise me?"
Luo Xiaoran always felt that Chen Ji's words were not only talking about Luo Xingchen, but also pointing at herself, pointing out her unwillingness to move into Prince Yan's Mansion.
But Your Highness the Prince of Yan, these days if you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on pigs, they will run away.
The friendship between us is nothing more than that you are tired of dealing with military and political affairs, and you regard my home as a place to relax, and I have a noble person to make friends with, so I naturally want to take advantage of it and think of using you as a backer, that's all.
Now I am asked to move into Prince Yan's Mansion with my family, and if nothing unexpected happens, I have to live there for a long time. How shameless can I be?!
Maybe it was because of the iron-blooded spirit of the battlefield that Chen Ji possessed, or maybe it was because he had cried and been taught a lesson by Chen Ji at the birthday party, but whenever Luo Xingchen saw Chen Ji, he always felt that he didn't dare to act like a spoiled child in front of him.
Now that he heard Chen Ji speak, Luo Xingchen instinctively became nervous. He didn't hear what Luo Xiaoran said, and replied in a daze:
"can."
When he reacted and wanted to retort, he saw that his sister and grandfather both looked relieved, so he didn't say anything.
Anyway...my sister promised to come see him!
……
Luo Xingchen, oh no, now it should be called Chen Xingchen.
Although Chen Xingchen's face was wiped by Luo Xiaoran with a handkerchief, there were still some traces of snot and tears left, so Li Heng took the little cat downstairs to wash his face.
At first he was reluctant to leave his sister's sight and had to wait until Luo Xiaoran agreed that she could sleep with him and Niu Dan tonight. Only then did Chen Xingchen obediently follow Li Heng away.
"Your Highness, I just took the initiative to ask to stay overnight. You won't disagree, right?" Luo Xiaoran tried to make amends, blinking.
Chen Ji was amused. Just now, when Luo Xiaoran said she wanted to stay overnight, she acted as casually as if the Prince of Yan's Mansion was her own home. Now she came to ask for his opinion.
"What if I say 'no'?" Chen Ji tilted his head, and there was a hint of teasing in his usually sharp eyes.
"Your Highness has saved my life twice, so why wouldn't you take me in for a night?" Luo Xiaoran also tilted her head and spoke in a joking tone. After she finished speaking, her expression suddenly became serious.
"If it weren't for Lord Wei, I wouldn't have known that it was the prince who saved me in the Kyoto Imperial Prison. The prince has done me a great favor!"
Luo Xiaoran doesn't like to owe favors to others!
Somehow, this sentence suddenly popped up in Chen Ji's mind.
"Since you know that I saved you twice, why don't you find a way to repay me now?"
"How do I repay you?" Luo Xiaoran suddenly took a step back, crossed her arms over her chest, and said playfully, "I won't sell my body!"
The corner of Chen Ji's mouth twitched. This Luo Xiaoran really doesn't consider herself a girl. How can she blurt out such words?
It's really... so frank and cute.
"Cough cough!"
Chen Ji put his fist to the corner of his mouth and pretended to cough, hiding the unnaturalness in his eyes and clearing his throat:
"I sent Wei Lin to check your background, but found nothing. Luo Xiaoran, who are you?"
Um, so you want to check my household registration!
"My Lord, how about I pledge my love to you?"
Luo Xiaoran put down her arms that were crossed in front of her chest and continued speaking in a joking tone.
To be honest, it’s impossible. Absolutely impossible.
If people knew about this, they would burn me to death as if I were a monster.
Chen Ji shook his head helplessly, "Didn't you say that I did you a favor?"
Luo Xiaoran knew that she was in the wrong, so she smiled guiltily and argued:
"Then you can't ask for repayment for a favor, Your Majesty! I am a person who values privacy and I don't really want to talk about my own affairs with others."
"In this case, I can't think of any other way for you to repay my kindness, so I'll just owe you money for now!"
Chen Ji didn't have much hope of getting any information out of Luo Xiaoran, so he just let the matter slip.
Luo Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and seeing that Chen Ji was still looking at her, she could only smile ingratiatingly. She thought to herself that if Chen Ji could use her in the future, she would definitely do her best.
……
At night, Luo Xiaoran, Niu Dan and Luo Xingchen, the siblings, slept in the same room for the first time. After all, when they were at Luo's house, they had the luxury of having their own room each.
Niu Dan and Luo Xingchen slept on the bed, while Luo Xiaoran rested on the couch.
Luo Xingchen was still young after all, and had experienced so many things in the past two days. After Luo Xiaoran told him a few stories, he fell asleep quickly.
Niu Dan couldn't sleep, "Sister, is Chen'er really not going back with us?"
Luo Xiaoran also suffered from insomnia. "Yes, tomorrow it will be just the two of us going back to Hexi Village."
"But……"
"But what?"
"But I can't bear to leave Chen'er."
"It's not like we won't see each other anymore. I'll bring you to see Chen'er in the future."
"Chen'er is still so young, I'm worried that he won't have a good life here."
……
Luo Xiaoran didn't speak for a long time, so long that Niu Dan thought she had fallen asleep. Then Luo Xiaoran's voice, like a whisper, sounded in the house:
"Go to sleep. Let's go home tomorrow before Chen'er wakes up, so that he won't be reluctant to leave us and cry."
Niu Dan stopped talking altogether.
I tossed and turned for a long time before I fell into a deep sleep.
Luo Xiaoran opened her tightly closed eyes after Niu Dan fell asleep. She got off the couch and slowly walked to the bed.
Niu Dan and Luo Xingchen were sleeping, one outside and one inside. Both children had good sleeping postures, so she didn't need to worry about covering them with quilts.
It’s strange to say, these two children are used to sleeping in their own beds, but now they are squeezed into the same bed and sleeping soundly, with their heads so close to each other and their hands holding each other.
Luo Xiaoran simply sat on the ground in front of the bed, propped up her head and looked at her two younger brothers, just watching quietly.
It seemed like she had just taken a brief nap. When Luo Xiaoran opened her eyes, it was already daybreak.
"Beef eggs! Beef eggs!" she called softly.
"Sister." Niu Dan never had the habit of staying in bed. When he heard Luo Xiaoran calling him, he rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"It's daybreak. We should go." Luo Xiaoran stood up from the ground. She felt a little stiff and her muscles ached.
"Chen'er will cry when he wakes up, right?" Niu Dan lowered his head and touched Luo Xingchen's head.
"Yes, but we really should go."
