Chapter 424 You Still Have Loneliness
Luo Qinghan hasn't eaten much since last night.
He originally had no appetite and didn't feel hungry, but now seeing Xiao Xixi eating with relish, he couldn't help but eat more food as well.
After dinner, Luo Qinghan wanted to pull Xiao Xixi out of the car to digest the food.
Xiao Xixi refused to go.
Although it wasn't snowing outside, the temperature was low and there was a howling cold wind. She didn't want to go out in the cold.
She lay straight in the car, pretending to be a salted fish that had lost its life, and refused to move no matter what.
Luo Qinghan couldn't do anything with her and could only give up the idea of taking a walk to digest the food.
He noticed that Xiao Xixi's mood seemed to have improved a little, so he pretended to be casual and asked.
"What did Xiao Lingfeng say to you just now?"
Xiao Xixi was almost asleep, but after he asked her this, she had to wake up and forcefully open her eyes. But because she was so sleepy, her eyes were dull and looked like a pair of dead fish eyes.
She looked at the prince with her emotionless dead fish eyes and spoke weakly.
"He said I was living like an orphan."
Luo Qinghan's heart tightened.
He didn't expect Xiao Lingfeng to say such excessive words to Xiao Xixi.
On the one hand, he felt disgusted with Xiao Lingfeng, but on the other hand, he was full of pity for Xiao Xixi.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not very good at comforting people, and after holding it in for a long time, he could only utter a dry sentence.
"Ignore him. He is not worthy of being your father."
Xiao Xixi was originally quite unhappy, but not because of Xiao Lingfeng, but because she remembered some things before she traveled through time.
Fortunately, her emotions came and went quickly.
But within the time it took to eat a meal, she had completely forgotten her unhappiness.
Hearing the prince's unskillful words of comfort, Xiao Xixi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Luo Qinghan frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Xixi simply turned sideways, propped up her face with one hand, and looked at him with a smile: "Your Highness, aren't you angry? How come you still have the mood to comfort me?"
Luo Qinghan felt uncomfortable being stared at by her.
He turned his face away, his tone still flat.
"I am only speaking the truth. I have no intention of comforting you. Please don't take it for granted."
Xiao Xixi: "So, Your Highness is still angry?"
Luo Qinghan: "I'm not angry."
Xiao Xixi: "If you are not angry, then why are you ignoring me?"
Her question was too direct, leaving Luo Qinghan no room for maneuver. He could only purse his lips, remain silent, and use silence to maintain his noble and cool image of the prince.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Xixi didn't ask any more questions, for fear of pushing him too far. Then she would have to find a way to appease him.
She yawned and asked lazily.
"Since Your Highness is no longer angry, can I stay in this car?"
Luo Qinghan glanced at her and said, "It's up to you."
Xiao Xixi lay back down and closed her eyes again.
At this time she heard the prince say something in a low voice.
"You are not an orphan, you are still lonely."
Xiao Xixi responded casually: "Do you mean to be my father?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the car fell into silence.
Xiao Xixi realized belatedly what she had just said, and suddenly she had the urge to slap herself in the face.
How dare she say anything out loud?!
She opened her eyes cautiously, just in time to see the prince staring at her expressionlessly.
It was a gaze full of death.
Xiao Xixi just felt a chill on her back and lost all desire to sleep.
Luo Qinghan sneered: "I never thought that you thought of me as your father."
Xiao Xixi hurriedly denied: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Luo Qinghan pinched her face, deforming her little face.
"If you dare to say it, you must admit it. Come on, call me daddy."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She called out tremblingly, "Dad."
Luo Qinghan paused, then pinched her face even harder.
"You actually screamed!"
Xiao Xixi felt very aggrieved, and her voice became unclear because her face was pinched: "Didn't you let me scream? I listen to you!"
Luo Qinghan laughed in anger: "I told you not to eat meat from now on, will you obey me?"
Xiao Xixi immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.
It is impossible not to eat meat. It is impossible not to eat meat in this life!
As for calling him dad, it was just like calling someone father. She had made this kind of joke with others before she traveled through time and she didn't feel any psychological burden at all.
Besides, she now eats at Luo Qinghan's expense, lives in Luo Qinghan's house, and her clothes and other things are all provided by Luo Qinghan. There is no pressure at all to call him dad!
As long as Luo Qinghan can let her eat meat every meal and let her kneel down and call him daddy, it’s no problem!
Xiao Xixi took great effort to save her face from the prince's hands.
She rubbed her aching face and muttered bitterly, "Didn't you say you weren't angry before? Why are you suddenly angry again?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's hard for me not to get angry when I'm with you."
Xiao Xixi: "I'm not an air pump..."
"What did you say?"
“No, nothing.”
After Xiao Xixi's jokes, the heavy atmosphere disappeared without a trace. Even though Luo Qinghan still had a frown on his face, he had already relaxed in his heart.
It seemed that Xiao Xixi had some magical power. As long as you stayed by her side, you would be assimilated by her involuntarily and become as simple and happy as her.
Luo Qinghan thought about it and decided to explain everything to her.
"After we return to the palace this time, there will definitely be a lot of people eyeing you. Do you want to stay out of the spotlight?"
Xiao Xixi was puzzled: "What are you avoiding?"
When did she have such a thing as a sharp edge? Why didn't she know it?
Luo Qinghan said slowly, "I went to Chenliu County this time and brought you and Concubine Zhao with me. I originally thought that with Concubine Zhao helping you share some of your attention, you would be much more relaxed. But now Concubine Zhao is gone, and when I return, you are the only concubine left by my side. Others will definitely think too much, and they might even think that you deceived me and made me kill Concubine Zhao. By then, there will definitely be a lot of rumors that are unfavorable to you."
It's not just rumors, there may also be people with malicious intentions who regard Concubine Xiao as a thorn in their side and secretly plot to harm her.
After all, there is only one crown prince. If all the favor is monopolized by Concubine Xiao, then the favor that other concubines can get will naturally be less.
This concerns their own interests, and there will definitely be people who are unwilling to accept this and want to bring down Concubine Xiao, the most favored woman.
Xiao Xixi didn't care about it.
"I don't go out very often, so even if they talk a lot, I can't hear them."
