We both understood that the mastermind who could spend ten years planting Ying Xiao as a chess piece near Xi Lin Yan showed how deep their scheming was. Xi Lin Yan controlled half of Ye Huan’s economy. If he suddenly fell, the entire Ye Huan would be in turmoil, easily imagining the massive conspiracy behind this.
“I understand!” I slowly nodded, but could I really stop him?
After a long silence, I couldn’t help but ask: “Xi Lin Yan, have you thought about what to do next?”
The answer was complete silence. I turned around to find that he had actually fallen asleep on the inn’s cool couch.
No way! Just moments ago he looked troubled and conflicted, and now he’s sleeping like nothing happened! I’m speechless…
While secretly sighing at his incredible psychological resilience, I didn’t have the heart to wake him.
So I quietly got up and pushed open the door, thinking about the explanation I still owed Bei Ting Zi Han, and my forehead began to throb…
“Do you like me?” I tilted my face and gazed at him resolutely.
“Like?” A momentary confusion flashed in his eyes!
“Yes, exactly like! Before you ask me to marry you, first ask yourself, do you… like me? No, should I say, do you… love me?” I said word by word, looking at him seriously, watching the light in his eyes gradually dim.
Three thousand blue strands turned to snow, how much he loved that touch of beauty in the imperial city…
Seeming to see through the retreat in my eyes, that guy spoke again: “Didn’t someone promise to make me fall in love with her? Are you giving up so quickly?”
I rolled my eyes at him: “Provocation doesn’t work on me. I’ve decided to give up that pointless persistence!”
“Pointless?” His expression slightly changed.
“Yes, betting on one’s own feelings is pointless. Talking about love with a man who has another woman in his heart is exhausting. This lady is done!” My voice was as calm as lake water!
“I won’t allow it!” Bei Ting Zi Han glared at me, a stern look flashing across his face. His hand gripped my shoulders tightly, with a few sparks dancing in his black eyes.
“Huh?” I didn’t know what he wouldn’t allow.
