Chapter 81

81 My Ability

After Wang Mingjiang left, Luo Han quickly left with Luo Cheng and his family because he still had to work on the Seven Kills Gang’s case.

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Cheng thought about it and simply brought his family to the streets to shop.

He bought everything that he didn’t buy last time.

Soon, the family drove the ox cart back to the village.

When they saw the Luo family’s residence from afar, everyone felt relaxed.

“It’s better to be at home! When I walk in town, I feel a little out of place. No matter how good or prosperous the town is, it’s not my home!” Li Xiaoqing couldn’t help but sigh.

“That’s true!” Li Shun nodded.

Luo Cheng was happy to hear this.

It seemed that everyone had already treated this place as their home. He also had a loving family!

However, after being happy for a while, Luo Cheng’s gaze landed on Li Xiaoran.

Hmph, his wife was still hiding something from him! This made him a little unhappy!

Li Xiaoran noticed that Luo Cheng’s mood had changed. She thought of something and felt amused.

For some reason, the more time she spent with Luo Cheng, the more relaxed she became.

Luo Cheng was actually very easy to understand.

He had psychological trauma. He was guarding against something and didn’t trust others very much.

On the other hand, he yearned for a sincere relationship and a harmonious family atmosphere. He had also done a lot for everyone behind their backs.

At this moment, Luo Cheng was unhappy because of what she had hidden from him.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran wanted to tease him. After getting off the ox cart, she quickly helped to move the things and then busied herself with cooking. She didn’t give Luo Cheng a chance to speak.

After boiling hot water at night, Luo Cheng finally managed to trap Li Xiaoran in her room.

“Li Xiaoran, shouldn’t you tell me?” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and asked warningly.

His patience was limited. If he didn’t figure it out today, he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night!

Fortunately, the person who tortured him was Li Xiaoran. If it were anyone else, he would have captured them and interrogated them.

When Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng like this, she couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she went to pour two cups of hot water.

“Don’t be angry. I’ll tell you now. Sit down! Let’s drink hot water as we talk about this!” Li Xiaoran said as she reached out to hold Luo Cheng’s hand and brought him to the wooden table.

Luo Cheng let Li Xiaoran pull him to sit down. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before staring at Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran calmed herself down and said, “I can sense other people’s emotions! The more agitated others are, the deeper I can sense their emotions. Have you heard of empathic abilities before? To put it simply, I can empathize with others’ feelings!”

Luo Cheng had thought of many possibilities, but he didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to be talking about this.

At this moment, Luo Cheng finally understood why Li Xiaoran said that she didn’t know what to say.

If it were him, he wouldn’t know what to say either!

Luo Cheng’s silence made Li Xiaoran a little flustered.

At this moment, she couldn’t sense any of Luo Cheng’s emotions, so she naturally didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Are you thinking about finding a Daoist priest or a monk to exorcise me, or do you think I’m crazy and want to burn me to death?” Li Xiaoran immediately imagined some scenes and was panicked.

Luo Cheng was laughing at what Li Xiaoran told him. When he heard Li Xiaoran’s terrified voice, he immediately laughed even more.

Reaching out, Luo Cheng rubbed Li Xiaoran’s head and grinned for the first time. “Don’t worry, if you’re a demoness, I’m a demon! We’re very compatible. I won’t find anyone to exorcise you, let alone burn you to death!”

“Ah, don’t mess up my hair!” Li Xiaoran scowled and said unhappily as she lifted Luo Cheng’s hand, “Your sulky expression just now and thoughtful look made me think that you had ill intentions towards me!”

Luo Cheng smiled and explained.

“I just didn’t expect what you were hiding from me to be like this! So the reason you’re so good at cooking is that you sensed it through your empathic abilities and learned it yourself?”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she thought of something and suddenly restrained her expression and became serious.

“There are several ways in which my empathic abilities work. The first is simply to feel the kindness or malice of others. The second is when someone’s emotions become agitated and I can sense them. The third is when I have a chance to enter the other party’s dream if they’re sleeping. It’s just that the methods are out of my control. There’s also...”

Li Xiaoran paused and took a sip of water to moisten her throat.

“When we were in the hall today, you noticed that I didn’t look well. Actually, it was because Minister Wu was too agitated. My empathic ability allowed me to see some of the memories in his mind. This kind of empathic method is the most physically draining, so when I came out of that kind of empathic state, I looked pale!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately grabbed her hand anxiously and sized her up.

“How do you feel now? Why didn’t you make it clear to me before? I’ll buy a few chickens tomorrow and make some chicken soup for you to nourish your body!”

Seeing the anxiety and worry in Luo Cheng’s eyes, Li Xiaoran realized something and looked at him directly. She asked, “Husband, are you worried about me?”

“Yes, I’m worried about you! No matter what, you’re still my wife. If you treat me sincerely, I’ll treat you sincerely too!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and revealed his thoughts.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Was it just because she was his wife?

Li Xiaoran really wanted to ask this question, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

“What’s wrong? You seem a little unhappy.” Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran and felt that she seemed unhappy, so he asked.

“No! No! I just didn’t expect you to be unafraid of me!” Li Xiaoran said casually.

Luo Cheng seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated and asked, “If one day, I’m not what I seem to be, will you be afraid of me?”

Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but Li Xiaoran actually felt that Luo Cheng was very careful when asking this question.

...

“I don’t know! You’re being too general. I can’t give you a definite answer!” Li Xiaoran thought about it seriously and said.
