Chapter 114: Chapter 114: With that stern look on your face, it really constipates people.Right!

    She hurried to search online for photos of Rong Shaoze, perhaps one would capture him smiling.

    She entered Rong Shaoze’s name and over a hundred thousand results came up.

    She went through them one by one, many photos of Rong Shaoze in various settings, but not a single one of him smiling.

    How bizarre, she had seen him laugh several times, so why were there no smiling faces in the photos?

    Could it be that he never smiles when taking photos?

    Since she couldn’t find any online, she could only observe in real life.

    In the following days, Lin Xinlan occasionally paid attention to Rong Shaoze’s smile.

    Strangely enough, even though she definitely saw him smiling and even showing his teeth, in the blink of an eye, his smile would vanish, and she couldn’t remember how many teeth he had shown.

    His smiles were so fleeting, shorter-lived than a night-blooming cereus, leaving her with absolutely no impression at all.

    And she couldn’t very well stare at his smile incessantly, or else he would realize her intent, and then he would never smile again.

    Lin Xinlan decided to smile at him every day.

    Isn’t that what they say? Smile at life, and life will smile back at you.

    So, if she smiled at Rong Shaoze, he should smile back at her, right?

    Lin Xinlan, having prepared herself mentally, turned her head and offered a kind smile to a just-awakened Rong Shaoze.

    "Good morning."

    Rong Shaoze was stunned, staring at her for three seconds before asking with a furrowed brow and puzzled expression, "Are you smiling at me? Lin Xinlan, did you take the wrong medicine?"

    Lin Xinlan: "..."

    Alright, her sudden smile might have taken him by surprise.

    Truth be told, she felt even less accustomed to it... sea??h thё n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    She continued smiling: "You’re the one who took the wrong medicine. I’m just in a really good mood suddenly, why, am I not allowed to be in a good mood?"

    Rong Shaoze’s lips curved up slightly, showing a hint of amusement but no actual smile.

    "Of course, you can be in a good mood. To be honest, seeing you with such a stern face every day really constipates a person. But your smile, it’s quite nice."

    Lin Xinlan: "..."

    Maybe she shouldn’t have smiled at him...

    She should just let him stay constipated every day!

    However, Lin Xinlan was a person who wouldn’t rest until she achieved her goal; her desire to go home was urgent.

    To get home, she could keep smiling at Rong Shaoze, just to be able to go back once.

    That day, she kept smiling from time to time, her mood exceptionally cheerful. No matter how annoying Rong Shaoze’s words were, she simply brushed them off with a smile.

    In the living room, you could see her gentle smile; in the garden, her face still beamed; and in the study, when she brought in tea for him, she was still smiling.

    Rong Shaoze was thoroughly puzzled.

    Why was Lin Xinlan in such a good mood today?

    No sooner had she put down the tea, than he grabbed her hand, preventing her from leaving.

    Pulling her down to sit on his lap, he wrapped his arms around her waist, his sharp gaze fixed on her, and he asked with a slight smirk, "Out with it, what happy event happened today?"

    Lin Xinlan knew he would ask, her eyes flickered slightly as she evasively said, "It’s nothing special, just feeling a bit happy."

    "There must be a reason for your good mood," he pressed, not intending to let her off easily.

    His intuition told him Lin Xinlan had an ulterior motive.

    "There’s no reason, didn’t you say my stern face would constipate you? So I decided not to be stern. Isn’t that better?"

    Seeing that she still wouldn’t confess, Rong Shaoze’s patience was wearing thin.
