Chapter 45 – Carrying Once Or Twice Is Still Just Carrying
Ji Yunhuang saw her crumpled up expression and roughly guessed her thoughts, “Why don’t you return with me to the Crown Prince’s Mansion first? I’ll dispatch people to get the antidote from Sixth Brother during that time.”
No one would dare not to give face to the Crown Prince, Ji Yunhao even more so…
That could still be considered a good idea. She currently felt so much pain that she was sweating all over. If it was not for her self-control, her fingers would be trembling. In this condition, it would indeed be difficult for her to make the antidote…
Ning Xuemo nodded, “Then I’ll be bothering you again.” Although these six words had been stated in a very steady voice, her lips had already started to quiver from the pain…
Ji Yunhao looked at her for a moment before lifting his sleeve to wipe some of the sweat off her brow. “You’re still a child. If there’s pain you should yell out. maybe cry a little bit to relieve it, but why do you have to force yourself to endure it?”
Ning Xuemo felt a rare moment of blankness. In her previous world she was trained to have a high pain tolerance. Hence, although she often acted like a cute little girl in order to assassinate people, she had almost never shed tears. No matter how painful it was she would silently bear it.
Always tolerating the pain, she had forgotten how to truly cry and what it felt like to weep from the heart.
In her heart, she felt that crying was an act of weakness. If she did cry, she only cried, and it was fake at that, to try to understand other people’s emotions…
Ji Yunhuang’s words gave birth to an unexplainable warmth in her heart. Regardless of the reasons why this crown prince was being so nice to her, in the end, he was still concerned for her.
Her lips pulled into a smile as two faint dimples appeared on her cheeks. “Thank you for your concern Your Highness, but I don’t wish to cry.” Even more so, she felt like violently beating Ji Yunhao into a pig head…
Ji Yunhuang lightly flicked her forehead with his finger. “Speaking empty words, what are you being so strong for?”
This action was too intimate. It caused Ning Xuemo to have goosebumps. She quietly put some distance between them..
……
Although Ji Yunhuang did not return to Chang Kong Country often, his mansion was still the most majestic one compared to the rest of his siblings’ mansions. Of course, it stood countless leagues above Ning Xuemo’s Marquis’ Mansion.
