Chapter 368: Chapter 369 Chapter 368: Chapter 369 Upon hearing An Mo ask who Mu Lingyun was, he finally spoke up, “Mu Lingyun is indeed brought here by Luochen. She’s from our home country and is Luochen’s girlfriend.”

Upon hearing Fu Hanjiang utter the word “girlfriend,” An Mo’s smile on her face stiffened, but it quickly returned to normal.

“Senior Ji has a girlfriend now? I didn’t even know. Ha!” An Mo forced a smile and said.

Fu Hanjiang also forced a smile and asked, “Xiaomo, are you very familiar with Luochen?”

An Mo paused for a moment, then ambiguously said, “We were classmates from consecutive grades!”

“I see!” Fu Hanjiang stroked his chin, unable to determine how well An Mo really knew Ji Luochen.

However…

“I have never heard Luochen mention you though!” Fu Hanjiang said with a smile.

An Mo: …

Qin Yuan: …

An Mo was completely petrified.

Qin Yuan’s mouth twitched.

Boss, is your real name Fu ‘True’ Straight Man Hanjiang?

Didn’t your mom ever tell you, if you can’t speak well, speak less and do more?

–

Mu Lingyun dragged Ji Luochen forward until they reached an isolated spot. There, she pushed Ji Luochen into a corner, leaned in, and trapped him against the wall with her body.

She placed one hand on the wall, and with her other hand, she reached out to pinch Ji Luochen’s perfectly chiseled chin, pretending to be angry.

“Mr. Ji, you’re quite something. The moment I lose sight of you, you attract a young lady. Don’t you have anything to say?” Her voice was somewhat low.

Ji Luochen was silent for a moment, then wrapped his arms around the girl’s slender waist, looked into her eyes intently, and nonchalantly said, “Mu Lingyun, you’re playing the victim here.”

“Wha… What do you mean?” Mu Lingyun said, somewhat unnaturally.

“Hm!” Ji Luochen chuckled deeply, quickly pulling her hand from the wall.

Caught off guard, Mu Lingyun stumbled toward Ji Luochen.

Ji Luochen caught her, pulling her tightly into his arms.

After drawing her closely into his embrace, Ji Luochen continued, “Mu Lingyun, I just told you, I don’t know her, and she means nothing to me. Are you using that trivial person to divert from your past with Jiang Jingxin? Hm?”

Mu Lingyun: …

Was it that obvious?

Alright, she would review and be more subtle next time.

She smiled and said softly, “I wanted to talk to you about this matter. There’s absolutely nothing beyond friendship between me and Jiang Jingxin. In fact, he appeared in my life before my ascension to the throne last lifetime. I met him when I had just returned to Qin Kingdom from Wangji.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Luochen frowned, his expression somewhat displeased.

Mu Lingyun nestled into his embrace and adjusted her position before continuing, “The reason I know him is that he, like you, had a heart condition. I had some ideas about curing your heart disease, but I didn’t dare to try them directly on you. So, I sought many people with heart issues in hopes of testing these ideas, and Jiang Jingxin was just one of them.”

Ji Luochen: …

He hadn’t expected there to be such a situation.

“Later on, it indeed had some effects. But the major reason was probably because Jiang Jingxin’s condition wasn’t very severe. After the turmoil among the seven kingdoms subsided, I wanted to find you!”
