Chapter 437: 437 follows the longer one
The matter of the child swapping involved many people, including someone Ye Jiu cared about. Therefore, now really wasn’t the time for her to reveal herself.
Thus, Ye Jiu half-truthfully concocted a small fib, “Last night I had a dream. In the dream, an old deity said that we were fated, so he gifted me a Marrow Cleansing Pill to consume. And when I woke up in the morning, I had become like this, which even scared me.”
Prince Jing, “Do you see this face of mine? Does it look like the face of an idiot?”
Ye Jiu shook her head, “Of course not.” In fact, aren’t you exactly an idiot, played around by two women of your back house, even capable of having your own child switched out?
“I know it’s hard for you to believe since even I find it unbelievable, but the fact is right here,” Ye Jiu said while stretching her little face closer to Prince Jing.
What’s key is that Prince Jing actually took her seriously and reached out to pinch her cheek carefully examining her.
After what felt like an eternity, he pushed Ye Jiu away with a stern face, “Men and women should not touch, I am not someone you should be longing for. Keep your distance, lest we be seen and unable to clear up the misunderstanding.”
Ye Jiu’s mouth twitched twice!
Hmph, I am the woman you will never be able to obtain in this lifetime!
“So, do you believe I didn’t lie to you? Even if I were extremely capable, I couldn’t just change my own face, could I?” Ye Jiu said.
“Young lady, don’t use foul language,” Prince Jing suddenly chided her.
Ye Jiu was silent, waiting for Prince Jing to digest the information before speaking further.
A moment later, Prince Jing said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but could your face not have grown to look like mine? As a dignified man, once a few years pass and you walk outside, people will really think I’ve dressed up as a woman. Can I still save face?”
Ye Jiu sadly said, “Looks are given by one’s parents, you can’t blame me for that.” If anyone’s to blame, it’s yourself – why is your genetic makeup so strong!
Prince Jing felt helpless, too.
He wanted to blame Ye Jiu, who must have thought of his face when consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill in her dream, otherwise, it couldn’t have grown to look like his own. However, he could not deny that the girl did bear a striking resemblance to him, even before the previous day.
Is heaven playing a joke on him?
If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Jiu’s hometown was too far from the capital city, he would suspect that she actually went to the wrong place when reincarnating.
Actually, the child he should have had was a daughter, and his own son turned out to be someone else’s.
