Lin Xiao looked up at the second floor. "Zhuge Lan, judging by Dongfang Jingjing's demeanor, does she seem a bit interested in you?"
He had finally come home and really needed to relax. The current atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Zhuge Lan shook his head. "Lin Xiao, don't bring me into this. I don't have such thoughts, nor do I have the qualifications."
He was the heir to the Wuhou lineage. He represented the future of the Wuhou lineage, the pride of the surname "Zhuge." Before he had achieved mastery in his arts, before he had traveled across the Dragon Country and truly experienced everything, he did not wish to concern himself with such matters.
Lin Xiao looked at him curiously. "You've already entered the mortal world. What, don't you need a confidante?"
"A confidante and tempering the heart in the mortal world are different," Zhuge Lan said, shaking his head. "Moreover, I primarily see Dongfang Jingjing as a sister."
In terms of age, there was indeed a considerable gap between them.
"Tempering the heart in the mortal world?" Lin Xiao pouted. "You don't even dare to have a confidante, let alone temper your heart in the mortal world. You can't properly experience the lives of ordinary people or the warmth of their homes."
Zhuge Lan remained silent, holding his teacup. After a moment, he said, "At least, not now."
He hadn't even fully understood his own true heart yet, let alone pursue anything with Dongfang Jingjing. KuaiDugg
Only after he had validated his own thoughts would he have the energy and inclination to consider such things... As for Dongfang Jingjing, they were confidantes, but currently, only that.
He didn't know how to progress further, but it was impossible for them to be lovers for the time being.
This feeling for him was more like having a very close friend, and he didn't want to easily break that bond.
"It's up to you. You are the heir of the Wuhou lineage, I am not."
Lin Xiao shrugged. A forced melon wouldn't be sweet. He was just giving Zhuge Lan a reminder. Anyway, Dongfang Jingjing was still young, and she would meet many people in the future.
Zhuge Lan glanced at Lin Xiao gratefully and then said, "I think Mr. Ning should be leaving soon."
"Likely so. I can sense his urgency and longing even from here," Lin Xiao shook his head. "Is this what love feels like?"
"Speaking of which, before I was in such a rush, you and my sister-in-law got together by chance. It seems you haven't experienced a normal romance either?" Zhuge Lan suddenly grasped a key point.
Just as Lin Xiao had commented on his situation, he wanted to seize the opportunity to tease Lin Xiao.
"Mine was, uh, a special situation."
Lin Xiao said immediately, leaning back on the sofa and looking up at his wife on the second floor. "Back then, I was actually one of Qinghan's admirers. We met and got to know each other properly, didn't we... it just hadn't reached that point."
Lin Xiao's mind drifted back to that time. He and Luo Qinghan were both young. However, at that time, he was full of spirit, while Luo Qinghan seemed to have already started working hard at the company for her family's branch.
His own heart was unsettled, and Luo Qinghan didn't have the energy.
But the two of them were more like friends. He was a sounding board for Luo Qinghan.
Five years had passed...
Who knew it would turn out like this now?
No one could have predicted it.
