I Become a Big Shot in Showbiz
Chapter 369 - Chapter 369 Chapter 369 This Damned System

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: This Damned System Chapter 369: Chapter 369: This Damned System “Back then, I had dispatched all the Hidden Guard. My people were everywhere across the realm. No matter where they hinted at a trace, I would personally go there to check. For ten years after my ascension to the throne, that is what I did.”

Ji Luochen remained silent, his grip tightened, holding the girl even closer.

She said she had been searching for him for ten years!

Mu Lingyun felt Ji Luochen squeezing her tighter and rubbed her head against his chest before continuing, “Back then, Jiang Jingxin was always by my side, helping me search for you everywhere. I intentionally kept him close because…”

At this point, Mu Lingyun paused.

Ji Luochen’s heart also skipped a beat.

Mu Lingyun looked up, her hand also lifted, her fingers gently caressed the corner of his eyes and brows.

“Because his eyes are so much like yours, I could often see your shadow through him…”

Knowing it wasn’t true, yet she couldn’t help but be obsessed.

Ji Luochen was stunned upon hearing this.

He had actually heard Xiao Kai muttering about this, saying that Jiang Jingxin’s eyes resembled his.

But he had not noticed anything himself.

“But, there was nothing more between him and me. Really!”

As Mu Lingyun spoke, her hand hooked around Ji Luochen’s neck, she looked into his eyes as if making a promise, “I never even touched his hand, those rumors about a male favorite are completely baseless. You believe me, don’t you?”

“Mhm.” Ji Luochen looked into the girl’s eyes, saw the seriousness within them, and subconsciously responded.

Yes, he believed her.

Perhaps, he had some doubts about this before.

But after hearing her words, he had completely let go.

Upon hearing his response, Mu Lingyun felt slightly unsure whether he truly believed her, so she tiptoed a bit closer, earnestly asking, “Do you really believe me?”

Ji Luochen felt the girl getting closer, the breath of her words brushing across his cheek, stirring a tingling sensation.

His Adam’s apple moved as he spoke softly, “I believe you.”

Mu Lingyun saw that he didn’t seem to be lying or making excuses, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, she slowly added, “But why couldn’t I find you after searching for ten years?”

Ji Luochen’s heart clenched as he heard the lightness in her voice, sensing the plaintiveness.

His heart ached a bit with her question.

Knowing she had searched for him for ten years in that world made Ji Luochen feel somewhat heartbroken.

Back then, she must have suffered a lot.

He suddenly felt a bit of regret.

Regretting that he had ordered his Hidden Guard, after his death, to erect no monument for him.

If there had been a monument, perhaps she wouldn’t have had to search for ten years, right?

“Fool, I was already gone from this world by then; naturally, you couldn’t find me,” he said, patting her back gently.

Mu Lingyun stiffened.

Although she had already guessed it might be so, hearing him say it personally still hurt.

“When did it happen?” After a long daze, she asked hoarsely.

“In May of the ninth year of Tianhe,” Ji Luochen said softly.

Mu Lingyun: …

She was completely stunned.

This timeline.

Ji Luochen had mentioned it before.

She had even requested the system to use this very date of Ji Luochen’s incident as a signing bonus.

Of course, the cunning system never surprised her, and to this day, the request had not been granted.
