CH 108

The two were close at hand.

Close enough to see every subtle look on each other's faces. So close that they could smell each other's breath. So close that you can punch him away with a single punch...

Li Jing's eyes were focused, and his movements were gentle and careful: "Don't move, everyone is watching, just treat it as a face to your fiancé."

Lu Mingyu: "..."

Lu Mingyu chuckled expressionlessly and said, "Your Highness is truly humorous."

Li Jing wiped the sweat off her forehead, put away the handkerchief, and glanced at Lu Mingyu's unconsciously clenched right fist: "Do you want to take a bath and change clothes first?" 

She loosened her fist and nodded slightly: "I'll go right away."

Just a short moment of confrontation, but no one watching them knew about it.

In the eyes of everyone, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was gentle and affectionate, and Lu Mingyu's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were shining (anyone who practices martial arts for an hour will have blood rushing and his cheeks will be flushed! The light in her eyes was not the joy of seeing her sweetheart, but the desire to beat him up, okay!)

Anyway, this scene was extremely eye-catching.

Lu Fei and Lu Minghua, who were also engaged, were ashamed to see it. Hey, they also have fiancées (fiancés), and they have never been so intimate in front of people.

A smile flashed in Lu Lin's eyes, and he coughed: "Why did Your Highness come here suddenly?"

Li Jing responded with a smile: "There is no morning court today, and I have nothing to do in the palace, so I came to pay my respects to my father-in-law. And have breakfast."

The future son-in-law came so graciously, Lu Lin, who was the future father-in-law, was quite pleased: "Your Highness, you can come anytime you want. Breakfast will have to wait for a while, and I'll go take a bath and change before I come." 

... 

Lu Mingyu also went to take a bath and change.

.

She moved swiftly, washed off the sweat all over her body, and changed into a clean dress. Also dried her long hair.

While serving, Qi Yun smiled happily and said: "Your Highness really cares about Miss. It's only been a few days, and he came here to visit Miss again!"

Lu Mingyu didn't have much joy on her face, so she hummed casually.

Qi Yun glanced at the expressionless master in the bronze mirror, a little surprised: "Miss is not happy?"

It doesn't count.

Say happy, it seems not.

It's the kind of feeling that was messed up, can't figure it out, and can only continue to be confused.

Lu Mingyu settled down, and squeezed out a nonchalant smile: "No, I'm very happy."

The young lady's appearance does not seem to be very happy!

Qi Yun murmured in her heart, but she didn't say anything more. She quickly dried her long hair and wanted to comb her hair in a complicated and beautiful style, but she heard her say again: "It doesn't need to be too much trouble, just keep it simple."

Miss was anxious to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince!

Qi Yun secretly smiled and nodded in agreement.

Lu Mingyu glimpsed Qi Yun's snickering face from the mirror and sighed inwardly. Forget it, let the people around you continue to misunderstand!

After tidying up, Lu Mingyu went to the dining room refreshed.

Everyone had a tacit understanding and reserved a place beside Li Jing. The mischievous Lu Xuan grinned and said, "Fourth Sister, sit down quickly! We are almost hungry, and we are waiting for you alone."

Lu Mingyu could only smile and nodded.

She was not incapable of acting, but rather unaccustomed to it and did not enjoy it. When necessary, she could still put on an act.

Lu Mingyu smiled and stepped forward, and sat down beside Li Jing.

This was the second time they were sitting together, and the feeling of awkwardness and discomfort was less.

Li Jing turned his head and smiled at Lu Mingyu. Then, he personally served a bowl of thickly boiled millet porridge for Lu Mingyu: "This is your favorite millet porridge."

Lu Mingyu glanced at Li Jing with complicated emotions, and opened her mouth to thank: "Thank you, Your Highness."

He was familiar with her, but she didn't know where it came from.

She really liked millet porridge the most. Therefore, in the breakfast of the Lu Mansion, there must be a bowl of millet porridge that has been boiled for more than an hour. And her favorite pastry was...

Li Jing picked up another piece of white sweet rice cake and put it into the bowl in front of Lu Mingyu: "This sweet rice cake is also your favorite, eat more."

Lu Mingyu without saying a word, drank the millet porridge and ate sweet rice cakes in silence.

Lu Lin saw it, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

This Xiaoyu didn't know what was wrong before that she said she wanted to recruit a son-in-law. Look at how well-matched she was with the Second Prince now. The Second prince even knew exactly what Xiaoyu likes to eat, which showed his intentions.

Lu Lin was in a good mood, and his appetite was also particularly good. After eating two bowls of hot porridge and three steamed buns, he was not satisfied, so he ate another bowl of chicken noodle soup.

...

After breakfast, Lu Lin and Lu Fei were going to the military camp together.

Lu Mingyu sent her father and brother outside the door as usual, and Lu Minghua, Lu Mingyue, and Lu Xuan also sent them off together. There was one more Li Jing today.

Lu Lin smiled and told Lu Mingyu: "Xiaoyu, restrain your temper, even if His Highness is willing to let you be yourself, don't be too self-willed."

Lu Mingyu: "..."

What about the promise to always stand by her side no matter what?

He was bought by the cunning and black-bellied Li Jing so quickly!

Lu Mingyu used her eyes to accuse her father of being disrespectful.

Lu Lin laughed, waved to Li Jing, got on his horse, and rode away. Lu Fei and a group of soldiers followed closely behind. With the sound of hoofbeats, they disappeared within a few breaths.

As soon as Lu Mingyu turned her head, Lu Minghua immediately said: "I have to do embroidery today, so I have to go back first."

Lu Mingyue said: "I want to study, so I have to go back first."

Lu Xuan said: "I have an appointment with Second Master Sun next door to play, so I will leave first."

Before Lu Mingyu could say anything, the three siblings left separately. Lu Xuan had walked a long way, but he still didn't forget to turn his head and wink at his future fourth brother-in-law, clenching his fists to show "Come on, I'm optimistic about you"!

Li Jing laughed silently.

Everyone in the Lu family doted on Lu Mingyu, and even bringing him, the future son-in-law, to the door received the highest treatment. Not only did no one make things difficult, but everyone even created opportunities for the two of them to be alone.

Lu Mingyu gave Li Jing an annoyed look: "Why are you smirking?"

Li Jing smiled even more intensely: "Happy in my heart, I laughed when I wanted to. Why don't you laugh?"

Without others, Lu Mingyu lost interest in acting: "If you're happy, you can laugh if you want to. I'm not that happy, so of course I can't laugh."

Li Jing was not annoyed when he heard the truth and smiled slightly: "You're not that happy, at least you can see me too." I'm not angry. This is much better than before."

"Xiaoyu, the marriage was granted by the imperial decree, the betrothal gifts have been given, and the marriage certificate was signed. We are an unmarried couple. The wedding date will not be too far away. We are going to get married and become husband and wife. We will be living together for the rest of our lives. You don’t like me yet, so you’re not very happy to see me. I know this.” 

“It’s good that you don’t reject me now. As for feelings, you can develop them slowly. One day, you will find that I am your true love."

Lu Mingyu: "..."
