Pampered By All In Different Planes

Or perhaps, upon seeing her, Ji Xiaoyuan felt waves stir within his heart, as if his once calm lake-like heart could also undergo change.

However, he was also skilled at concealing his emotions, and quickly, Ji Xiaoyuan walked over and shook the soundly sleeping girl, "Miss Ruanruan, wake up and eat."

Su Zhiruan's fingers twitched, and she awakened from her dream, slowly opening her eyes and stretching with a yawn, "I'm so sleepy."

"Eat before you sleep again," Ji Xiaoyuan extended his arm, indicating she could hold on to it, "Take it slow, don't press on your leg."

Su Zhiruan obediently nodded her head, and after getting up, she also pressed down the two sprigs of hair that had somehow ended up sticking up on her head.

"Young Master Ji, will you be going up the mountain this afternoon as well?" Su Zhiruan, supported by him, walked to the outer room and sat on a stool. She looked up at Ji Xiaoyuan, her hands propping up her chin, observing the dishes in the bowl and then turning to the burly man scooping porridge.

As the man placed the bowl of porridge in front of Su Zhiruan, he replied, "I won't go to the mountain. I'll go to the market to sell the medicinal herbs, and then come back to concoct medicine for you."

"Do you make a living by selling medicinal herbs?" Su Zhiruan turned and could see the dried herbs in the courtyard. Turning back, she picked up the chopsticks and, feigning consolation, said, "I'm sorry, these days have cost you quite a bit on my account. Once my family finds me, I will certainly offer Silver Taels as recompense."

When it came to marrying and having children, he sometimes thought about it. But back then, he was the powerful and influential Regent King, and the women who wanted to get close to him, without exception, had ulterior motives.

They either wanted to form a marital alliance with him, using his title to strengthen their own family, or they were otherwise plotting to insert spies by his side.

Such matters greatly annoyed Ji Xiaoyuan, and he refused them all outright.

Even three days before his planned retirement to his homeland, he heard that his nephew, the Emperor, had arranged a marriage for him with a Princess Jialan from the Wan Dynasty!

Ridiculous!

He couldn't even bother with the women around him, let alone pander to a foreign princess from an enemy state whose name he didn't even know, so he decisively left.

After coming to the village, there were indeed many women who showed him favor and attempted to marry him, but Ji Xiaoyuan had hidden his identity as the Regent King and lived as an ordinary person precisely to avoid such situations; how could he seriously consider marrying and having children?

He never concealed his true inner thoughts, and this time was no exception.

Ji Xiaoyuan couldn't deny that he had developed a great fondness for the girl before him, and even a budding affection.

She had fallen from a cliff amidst an assassination attempt, and after observing for a while, he chose to save her. This was a choice he made on his own, unrelated to others.

Or perhaps, upon seeing her, Ji Xiaoyuan felt waves stir within his heart, as if his once calm lake-like heart could also undergo change.
