Chapter 235 Sweet Moments

Chapter 235: Sweet Moment

Luo Jingshen's attitude towards her made her feel that the situation was somewhat troubling.

She had to seize this favorable chance to interact more with Luo Jingshen, repairing their relationship, lest he refuse to acknowledge her in the future.

Jian Lan sighed, ultimately not saying anything more, and silently made a mental note of Consort Li's instructions.

At Prince Ye's Mansion:

Luo Junhe listened to Ji Yuntang humming a tune, with a cheerful smile on her face all day, and he was a bit puzzled.

"Ah Tang, what has made you so happy?"

Ji Yuntang leaned in and whispered mysteriously to him: "Of course, I've been lucky recently and came into some unexpected money."

Luo Junhe assumed she had made a big business deal, so he didn't think twice.

He said gently: "The business world is full of tricks and traps. Keep your wits about you. Making money is one thing, but don't let anyone set you up."

Ji Yuntang smiled and said: "Ah He, don't worry. The business I do is unique in this world; even if others wanted to imitate it, they couldn't."

As she spoke, she started massaging Luo Junhe's legs.

After multiple acupuncture sessions, his muscles were starting to recover.

However, thinking about the herbs she needed to find gave Ji Yuntang a headache.

She had secretly put out word to find the Dragon Scale Herb, but a month had passed with no sign of it.

Suddenly, Ji Yuntang felt a muscle twitch under her palm.

At first, she didn't think much of it, but as the twitching became more frequent, she sensed something was wrong.

She looked down at Luo Junhe's legs.

His legs were straight and slender, and having been out of sunlight for three years, his skin had turned from tan to very pale.

Now, she clearly sensed movement in Luo Junhe's calves.

It wasn't the ability to walk or jump, but a slight tremor, a tiny, subtle movement.

This sight filled Ji Yuntang with overwhelming joy.

"Ah He, can you feel your legs now?"

For others, this might seem trivial.

But for Luo Junhe, it was a huge deal.

For three years, because he couldn't move his legs, he had hardly left his bed.

Snapping out of his shock, Luo Junhe took a deep breath and said to Ji Yuntang: "Ah Tang, pinch my leg hard."

Only when she placed her hand on his leg did he feel the movement.

Otherwise, Luo Junhe had almost no sensation in his lower body.

Ji Yuntang obediently pinched his calf, but without exerting much force.

Luo Junhe was overjoyed because he could actually feel pain in his leg.

It was a faint sensation, like an ant bite on his leg, but it was enough to fill his heart with excitement.

"Ah Tang, I think I have feeling in my leg."

Ji Yuntang's eyes widened slightly. Upon hearing this, she immediately threw herself into Luo Junhe's arms and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"That's wonderful, Ah He! We've waited so long for this day."

It would still be a long time before Luo Junhe could stand, but that didn't lessen Ji Yuntang's joy.

As she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her teary-eyed, Luo Junhe's heart suddenly clenched. He got strangely nervous, and even his hands holding her started trembling.

He asked cautiously: "Ah Tang, why are you crying? Did I do something to upset you? If so, tell me, and I'll change that."

Ji Yuntang grabbed his slender, fair hand to wipe her tears, then let out a light, playful laugh.

"Ah He, you didn't upset me. I'm crying because I'm happy for you. All our hard work has finally paid off. We're almost through the tough times."

Luo Junhe was also overjoyed, but he was happier for her. Seeing the smile on Ji Yuntang's face made him happy too.

As he gazed at her with deep affection, his eyes, full of tenderness, a faint blush crept across her cheeks.

Afraid he would see her blushing and tease her, she quickly turned around and sat on the edge of the bed with her back to him.

"Ah He, let's strike while the iron is hot. I'll apply a hot compress and massage your legs again. Now that you have feeling, maybe in a couple of days, you won't have to lie in bed all day—you can use a wheelchair instead."

"Ah Tang, is that true?" Luo Junhe asked excitedly.

Ever since his eyes had healed, he had been longing to sit in a wheelchair and go outside to see the mountains, rivers, and scenery.

But since Ji Yuntang hadn't mentioned it, he hadn't dared to ask, afraid of displeasing her.

If he could think of it, Ji Yuntang, as a physician, had of course thought it through even more.

Since she hadn't brought it up, Luo Junhe knew the time wasn't right.

Now that she said he could sit in a wheelchair in a few days, how could he not cooperate?

Ji Yuntang grinned: "Have I ever lied to you?"

"As long as you cooperate with me and do as I say, you'll become a healthy person one day."

Luo Junhe nodded with a satisfied smile on his face: "Yes, whatever my wife says, I will do. From now on, I'm at your command, and I'll gladly obey."

Ji Yuntang blushed again. She lightly slapped his legs in mock anger.

Who would've thought that in just a few months, this man had gone from being lifeless and gloomy to becoming smooth-talking, spouting sweet words freely?

Sometimes he would make her heart race and her cheeks flush, making her want to pounce on him and eat him up.

But Ji Yuntang knew the time wasn't right yet.

Lying there, Luo Junhe could only be looked at, not touched—truly frustrating.

Not only that, but she also had to be constantly teased and flirted with by his offhand remarks.

Ji Yuntang increasingly felt like she was turning into an 'old driver' (someone who instantly catches all the innuendo). She didn't want to be a girl who always gets the joke right away, but her brain kept betraying her, always getting it right away.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang looked at Luo Junhe with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Before Luo Junhe could say anything, she said in a proud, tsundere tone, "Hmph, it's too stuffy in here. You just lie there. I'm going out for some air."

With that, she got up, walked out, and quickly shut the door.

Luo Junhe: "..."

With his view suddenly blocked, Luo Junhe felt a bit bewildered.

Had his Little Princess Consort just, well, maybe, sort of, gotten angry again?

But it seemed he hadn't done anything to upset her!

Luo Junhe let out a helpless chuckle. Indeed, as the book said, a woman's heart is as elusive as a needle in the ocean.

If he wanted to see through and understand her, he would probably need to spend a lifetime figuring her out.
