485 Prince Rui’s Neighbor (4)

Not long after Luo Tan returned, Shen Xin and the others also came back. They all had dinner together. Things were probably going smoothly in the bureaucracy, and Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan looked like they were in a good mood. Only Shen Miao looked a little tired. Luo Ling noticed and said, “Cousin Miao, you look a little unwell. What happened?”

Shen Qiu stopped eating. “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Shen Miao was stunned. Seeing that everyone at the table was staring at her, she smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just came back from Spring City and am not accustomed to it. I’ll be better after a few days.”

Shen Qiu smiled and said, “What’s there to be unaccustomed to? I’ll bring you around from the east to the west of the city in a few days. You’ll get accustomed to it in no time.”

“Cousin Qiu, bring me too!” Luo Tan hurriedly added, “I can also protect my little cousin.”

“Nonsense.” Luo Xueyan said, “The capital is so big. What if she gets lost?” She glared at Shen Xin, wanting him to say something.

Shen Xin chuckled and said, “As long as the children are happy. It’s fine. Brat, if you bring your sisters out to have fun, take your guards with you. If anyone dares to cause trouble, beat them up. Don’t be afraid!”

Luo Xueyan pinched him angrily.

The couple’s relationship was very good. Shen Xin was fierce outside, but when he returned home, he listened to Luo Xueyan. Shen Miao was originally looking at him with a smile. As she looked at him, she seemed to have thought of something and her expression gradually darkened. She quickly lowered her head to prevent the people around her from noticing that something was wrong with her expression. Luo Ling, who was paying attention to her every move, paused for a moment and lowered his head thoughtfully.

After dinner, they chatted in the hall for a while before returning to their rooms. Shen Miao was about to return to her courtyard when she was stopped by Luo Ling.

“Cousin, wait a minute.”

Shen Miao turned around and looked at him. “Cousin Ling, what’s the matter?”

Luo Ling hesitated for a moment before taking out something that was folded into a square from his sleeve. He said gently, “When I went out with Cousin Qiu today, I happened to see a shop selling this outside. I saw that a lot of people were buying it, so I bought one. I heard that you have a lot of dreams at night. This thing is soaked in spices and can help you calm down. If you don’t mind, please take it.”

Shen Miao was slightly stunned and looked up at the young man in front of her.

Luo Ling was good-looking. Although he was not as brave as Shen Qiu and was not as handsome as Xie Jingxing, the natural gentleness he exuded made people feel comfortable being around him. Among the younger generation of the Luo family, he was the most outstanding, not only because he was the most reliable, but also because he had the ability to take on the responsibility of inheriting the Luo family.

In the night, Shen Miao seemed to be able to see Luo Ling’s slightly red face. He said with clumsiness, “If you don’t like it…”

Shen Miao took the thing from Luo Ling’s hand and smiled. “Cousin, how can I refuse your kindness? Thank you.”

Luo Ling smiled and said, “It’s good that you like it.”

His eyes were filled with gentleness, and his tone was filled with concern. If it were any other woman, she would have a very good impression of the person in front of her. However, Shen Miao took a step back and looked at him. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room first.”

A trace of disappointment flashed across Luo Ling’s eyes, but he quickly hid it and said, “Then, I won’t disturb you.” He turned around and left.
