Chapter 87 She Falls for Luo Junhe

Chapter 87: She Has Developed Feelings for Luo Junhe

Xie Liuzheng suddenly felt that his reputation as the so-called Capital's Number One Playboy, which had been overhyped, was not so great anymore.

Before, he didn't care, letting people say whatever they wanted.

But now, even if he wanted to explain himself to Luo Qingge, Xie Liuzheng didn't know where to begin.

Fortunately, Ji Yuntang was still willing to trust him.

Ji Yuntang turned her head and found Xie Liuzheng looking at her with pitiful eyes, a look of unspeakable grievance in his eyes.

Ji Yuntang: "..."

She got it right away—Xie Liuzheng was begging her to help fix his reputation!

Ji Yuntang smirked slightly, took Luo Qingge's hand and said gently:

"Qingge, what Heir Xie used to be like doesn't matter; what matters is what he will be like in the future. I think it's because you have a deep prejudice against him that you've put a filter of uselessness over his whole image."

"Not that I'm criticizing you, third sister-in-law, but I find that you two have quite similar personalities—both have a sharp tongue and can argue with anyone. If you have the time, spend more time together, and maybe you'll wash away that filter you've put on him."

These words almost made Xie Liuzheng cry.

Even his own parents had ever said such nice things about him to outsiders.

On the contrary, Ji Yuntang, who had only met him a few times, had repeatedly defended him.

Xie Liuzheng suddenly felt that taking Ji Yuntang's side was the best decision he'd ever made in his life.

Luo Qingge let out a cold snort and gave Xie Liuzheng a challenging look. "Who wants to hang out with him? I'm afraid he'll drag me along to steal bird nests too!"

Xie Liuzheng: "..."

Is this bird-nest joke ever going to end?

"Alright, alright, we're all friends here. From now on, we need to get along nicely."

After saying this, Ji Yuntang reached out and pinched Luo Qingge's plump cheek, soothing her, "My little Princess Qingge, don't be mad anymore. If you keep frowning, you won't be pretty. How can someone so cute be all scrunched up?"

"Come on, smile for me!"

As she finished, Luo Qingge burst into laughter, asking happily:

"Third sister-in-law, I didn't know you were so good at sweet-talking people. Do you sweet-talk my third imperial brother like this in Prince Ye's mansion?"

"My third imperial brother is so aloof, with such a strong ego—if you treat him like that, doesn't he get mad?"

"Tell me, come on, tell me!"

Luo Qingge immediately forgot about Xie Liuzheng and clung to Ji Yuntang's arm and acted spoiled.

Ji Yuntang: "..."

If she'd known, she wouldn't have sweet-talked Luo Qingge.

How was she supposed to answer that?

She'd seen and touched every inch of Luo Junhe's body, and he didn't dare resist no matter how she treated him. Would he dare to get mad?

Pushed by Luo Qingge's persistence, Ji Yuntang had no choice but to speak:

"Your third imperial brother isn't that cold. He's actually pretty cute—he eats when he's hungry, drinks when he's thirsty, sleeps when he's tired, and dresses when he's cold. He doesn't bother me much, treats me and the servants in the mansion well, and doesn't get mad easily."

"Most importantly, he's stuck in bed now and can't move. When I wash his face, he turns red; when I hold his hand, he turns red too. His shy look is prettier than any sunset I've ever seen."

"In short, I think A He is actually pretty great..."

As Ji Yuntang said this, her mind was full of images of Luo Junhe's shy, blushing face.

She wondered how he was doing at Prince Ye's mansion.

Had Chen Hu and Yaoniang taken good care of him?

Did he think of her today?

Thinking of this, a faint, gentle smile curled at the corners of Ji Yuntang's lips.

Luo Qingge instantly became gossipy, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ji Yuntang excitedly. "Third sister-in-law, could it be that you've developed feelings for my third imperial brother?"

Ji Yuntang didn't answer. She fell into thought, quietly pondering the question.

She had married into Prince Ye's mansion and lived with Luo Junhe for nearly a month, and they had never once argued.

Every word she said, Luo Junhe took to heart, and every request he made, Ji Yuntang did her best to fulfill.

In their actions, their temperaments aligned perfectly—they both thought ahead for each other and put the other first.

When Ji Yuntang had questions, she would ask Luo Junhe, and he would patiently answer.

Similarly, when Luo Junhe had a little temper, Ji Yuntang would find ways to cheer him up.

Even with important figures like Luo Sinian and Nanny Xu, if they offended Ji Yuntang, Luo Junhe wouldn't indulge them.

So many things, so many moments.

Ji Yuntang felt satisfied with Luo Junhe.

As a husband, he undoubtedly met her standards for an ideal partner.

Even now, bedridden, Luo Junhe considered so much for her. Once he recovered and stood up, he would only do even more for Ji Yuntang.

Their bond had truly been forged through hardship, revealing true feelings.

She had definitely developed feelings, but she couldn't say it out loud in front of so many people.

"You little girl, you're young but so nosy. Your third imperial brother hasn't even recovered yet—he can't even move. Instead of spending time thinking about romance, I'd rather focus on how to speed up his recovery. With him holding up Prince Ye's mansion, my life will be easier too."

Thinking of that towering, noble man, a hint of sadness flickered in Luo Qingge's eyes.

For some reason, whenever she thought of what Luo Junhe had been through, her heart ached with a sharp pain.

At the same time, she felt even more sympathy for Ji Yuntang.

"That's true. I heard from Mother Empress a few days ago that third imperial brother's condition isn't good—he might not hold on."

Luo Qingge's sadness faded, and she suddenly looked up, grabbing Ji Yuntang's hand with a face full of hope.

"Sister-in-law, Third Brother may be a bit cold, but he's been good to me too. Back when someone talked bad about me behind my back, he stepped in and taught them a lesson. Seeing him, who defended our country, end up like this breaks both my mother's heart and mine. If you ever need our help in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Just say the word, and we'll do our utmost to help Third Brother."

"I also hope Third Brother can get better and stand up soon, because as long as he's around, it's not just me—even the people of the Dongchen Kingdom feel at ease."

When Luo Junhe was around, no other country dared to invade.

The Longyue Army he led was unstoppable, winning every battle and driving out enemies who dared attack Dongchen time and again.

He was the people of Dongchen's war god.

No one else could ever replace that.

Ji Yuntang smiled. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of your Third Brother and help him recover. I also believe that one day, he will stand up and fight alongside me."
