Chapter 111 Job Guess
"Don't worry about that. I'll be fine."
Ling Junqi smiled confidently, then he looked around. After making sure there were no outsiders around, he leaned towards Ling Xiyue and lowered his voice.
"Xiyue, let me tell you something. His Highness has already sent people to secretly investigate all of Madam He's actions. In addition, he has also sent secret guards to protect me at all times."
Ling Xiyue was stunned. She stared at Ling Junqi blankly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Seeing Ling Xiyue's surprised expression, Ling Junqi smiled softly and continued to lower his voice.
"Are you shocked? I was also shocked. I didn't expect His Highness to be so thoughtful. He not only treats you well, but he also takes me into consideration."
Ling Junqi's words were filled with happiness.
Ling Xiyue slowly recovered and asked hurriedly, "How did you know? Did His Highness tell you?"
"No, Your Highness didn't tell me. I was the one who noticed it. You know my ability as your brother. I have the ability of counter-reconnaissance," Ling Junqi responded proudly.
Ling Xiyue looked at Ling Junqi, who was smiling, and thought: His Highness told me that he had sent people to investigate Madam He, but he didn't say he had sent people to protect Ling Junqi. Could it be that he wanted to do something good again without letting me know? However, His Highness was really thoughtful, and he could see through my thoughts.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiyue let out a faint sigh.
Ling Junqi, who had been staring at Ling Xiyue, noticed the change in Ling Xiyue's expression and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you still sighing? His Highness sent someone to secretly protect me, which actually means that he cares about you and really dotes on you, doesn't it?"
Seeing that Ling Junqi was very suspicious, Ling Xiyue had to force a smile.
"I was just touched just now. I didn't expect Your Highness to be so thoughtful."
"Oh, so that's how it is. In fact, His Highness has done more than that for you. He has also done many things behind your back, but he just didn't tell you." Ling Junqi showed an intriguing expression.
"There are many more things? For example?" Ling Xiyue was curious.
Ling Junqi was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had said too much. He hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Actually, they are just trivial matters. There is no need to talk about them." Ling Junqi felt a little guilty and avoided Ling Xiyue's gaze.
Ling Xiyue couldn't help but think of Ling Chuchen's amnesia. She thought: Brother still let it slip. For example, His Highness didn't tell me about Ling Chuchen's amnesia. Forget it, I won't ask any more questions.
"Okay, let's not talk about such trivial matters." Ling Xiyue did not embarrass Ling Junqi.
Ling Junqi finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.
"So, I'm safe in Ling Mansion, you don't have to worry."
"Okay, then I feel relieved. By the way, brother, you have been with His Highness for several months, but His Highness doesn't seem to have assigned you any position yet?" Ling Xiyue continued with the next topic.
"No." Ling Junqi blurted out.
"Didn't you mention it to him?" Ling Xiyue was curious.
"No, Your Highness will arrange it. Don't worry. By the way, why do you ask this? Does Your Highness want you to test me and see what position I want to apply for?" Ling Junqi asked back.
"No, this is just my curiosity. It has nothing to do with Your Highness. Please don't mention it to Your Highness." Ling Xiyue was a little panicked and explained hurriedly.
"As long as it's not what Your Highness meant." Ling Junqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why? Are you worried that His Highness will ask you these questions?" Ling Xiyue was very confused and puzzled.
"Of course, if Your Highness asked, I really don't know how to answer? I always feel that no matter how I answer, it will be wrong. After all, I took the initiative to follow Your Highness because I admired Your Highness, not because I wanted to seek any position to get promoted overnight." Ling Junqi explained.
"So that's how it is." Ling Xiyue finally understood Ling Junqi's thoughts.
"Actually, Xiyue, you don't have to worry. With His Highness's love for you, he will definitely not treat me unfairly. The reason why His Highness hasn't assigned me a position yet is because he wants to wait for the right time. Although His Highness is now His Highness the Prince of Yan, his leg disease has not been cured yet. There are many things he can't do and he is not mature enough. If he rashly assigns me an important position, it will definitely cause me unnecessary harm."
Ling Junqi continued to explain.
Seeing Ling Junqi's thorough analysis, she couldn't help but admire Ling Junqi and she praised him.
"Brother, I find that you are also very smart. You can see the essence of many things."
"Nonsense, I'm your brother, how can I not be smart?" Ling Junqi said confidently.
"Brother, what you said is very good. It is indeed true." Ling Xiyue smiled shamelessly.
Upon hearing this, Ling Junqi just shook his head slightly.
"You, don't worry about me anymore. I will take good care of myself. On the other hand, you are pregnant now. You must pay attention at all times and make sure to give birth to the baby safely. This is the important thing." Ling Junqi said earnestly.
"Okay, I get it. But, brother, you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself and nothing will happen to you." Ling Xiyue emphasized again.
Ling Junqi was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, I get it. I know you care about me. I will take good care of myself." Ling Junqi still said perfunctorily as if to cooperate.
However, his eyes became very gentle, full of distressed love for Ling Xiyue.
Only then did Ling Xiyue feel relieved.
I thought to myself: It seems that it is not that His Highness does not want to give Ling Junqi a good position, but that the timing is not right. It seems that I am anxious and always have the urge to finish things quickly. Some things, haste makes waste. Well, let's wait until His Highness announces that his leg disease has been cured.
"By the way, brother, don't tell His Highness about the conversation I had with you today, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Ling Xiyue reminded quickly.
"This is exactly what I want to tell you. You must not say it, otherwise it will have a bad impact." Ling Junqi also looked serious.
Seeing that Ling Junqi thought the same as her, Ling Xiyue felt relieved.
After a moment of silence, Ling Junqi thought about having a meal.
"His Highness said that after the evening hour, he asked us to go to the dining room for dinner. His Highness, he also wanted to have a few drinks with me."
"Really? Okay, when the time comes, we'll go together." Ling Xiyue nodded.
After You Hour
Ling Junqi and Ling Xiyue went to the dining room together. When they arrived, He Tingxi was already sitting at the dining table.
But Shi Hui was not with him.
Ling Junqi suddenly felt a little apologetic. He and Ling Xiyue stepped forward and bowed first.
"Your Highness, you are here so early?"
"We need to arrange some dishes, so come here early." He Tingxi responded with a smile.
"sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ling Junqi consciously sat on the left side of He Tingxi, leaving the right side for Ling Xiyue to sit.
Ling Xiyue did not salute and sat directly to the right of He Tingxi.
After everyone was seated, they ate together.
