Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: The Five Hundred-Year-Old Female Demon
The man’s gaze was piercing, as if he could see right into a person’s soul.
Rong Yan’s defensive voice got quieter and weaker, until finally, guilt overtook her, and she could no longer justify herself under his gaze. She lowered her head, staring at the tip of her shoes, “I understand.”
Even though he had been harsh on her for her own good, Shengxiao couldn’t understand why he now felt a sense of helpless defeat, “Forget it.”
The frustration in his chest dissipated.
“I’m telling you, it’s no use, anyway. Every time you just listen to me, if the same situation arises, you’ll still do as you please.”
His words sounded like a reprimand, but Rong Yan could hear a thick blend of resignation and indulgence in his tone.
Her heart was as sweet as honey, and looking up at him, she said, “I understand, I promise I won’t carelessly take any medicine that could affect my health. But this remedy is really fine, I even took it to the professor who taught me, and after her research, she said it was okay, so I tried it. My main worry was that the medicine would be too bitter for you and Little Baby to get used to, so I wanted to find the right amount of goji berries to adjust the taste. Medicine isn’t like other things. Even if I want to make it more palatable for you, I have to be careful that the additives don’t interfere with the other ingredients’ effects. Too much or too little can spoil the whole prescription, so I had no choice but to trial and error.”
“But it really is beneficial. After drinking it, I’ve slept so much better, I rest well. Don’t you think my plexion looks much better than last week?”
Shengxiao hadn’t noticed her plexion, but, as she leaned in to prove her point, he half-closed his eyes and saw that her face was rosy and her skin radiant even without makeup, indeed she looked vigorous. His annoyed expression eased slightly, “Hmm.”
Rong Yan’s lips almost curled up with glee, and she purposefully leaned in closer, “Hmm what? Does ‘hmm’ mean you also think my plexion looks better than last week, or ‘hmm’ you understand?”
“…”
“Your silence means you agree with the former, right, that my plexion looks better than last week?” Rong Yan shamelessly touched her face, purposely smacking her lips, “Tsk~ Such good skin, with this condition, I think I could last another five hundred years in the entertainment industry!”
“In five hundred years you’ll have turned into a female monster,” he finally spoke.
Rong Yan fluttered her eyelids, her eyes brimming with laughter, “That would be perfect. If I became a female monster, you’d be the monster’s boyfriend. We could make a ‘You from the Monster Planet.’ It might just be a huge hit and propel us to stardom.”
“You from the Monster Planet,” Shengxiao rarely watched idol dramas, and didn’t know that there was a very popular show called “You from the Star” about a romance between a female celebrity and an alien.
He was baffled when he heard this strange title, not understanding where her wild ideas came from, but seeing her smile blossom, his heart felt as if a breeze had blown over it, the grass green and lush.
“If you like it, tell Gu Ming to talk to KT, and let’s do it. I support whatever you like.”
I support whatever you like!
Oh, Rong Yan’s heart started to thump wildly again, as if it were about to burst out. She quickly looked away, no longer holding his gaze, and joked casually, “I’m just joking. You know what my acting’s like, let’s not inflict it on the public.”
