Lu Moqing’s gaze pierced sharply at her, the probing light in the depths of his eyes made it almost impossible for Yi Xin to escape.
"No, what you want is to ally with the Lu Family, so as to secure your and Aunt’s positions in the Yi Family and Auston."
Yi Xin’s hand movent hesitated for a mont, but she didn’t refute it.
"Both Auston and Yi Family are facing intense internal strife. Don’t you have confidence in defeating those mbers of Yi Family who covet Auston?"
A hint of astonishnt crossed Yi Xin’s face at Lu Moqing’s words.
"If you really don’t have that confidence, I can help Aunt secure her position as Family Head and help you succeed seamlessly to the next Family Head position. There’s no need for these little tricks."’
Yi Xin lowered her gaze, fell silent for a few seconds, then said with a smile:
"Yeah, my mom says that too. But, what’s more reliable than a marriage connection? Besides, I’ve liked you all along."
Unfortunately, Lu Moqing had suspected her little tricks early on, but nevertheless hid it well in front of her and played along.
She lost fairly, whether it was to Lu Moqing or Qiaoxu, there’s no sha.
There was a hint of self-mockery in Yi Xin’s eyes.
Lu Moqing had no interest in discussing his feelings with her, he only said:
"Yi Xin, you’re very smart, you’ve calculated every step to achieve your goal. Regrettably, you don’t understand . Even if the Lu Family truly falls, I wouldn’t sell myself to save it."
He stood up in front of her, "I, Lu Moqing, am not so incapable that I cannot rise again."
A warning gradually filled his eyes, "This ti, for Aunt’s sake, you back off and I’ll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise...’’
He paused, "Don’t add insult to injury during the infighting in Yi Family."
Yi Xin kept smiling, but her face turned slightly pale.
Of course she understood the hidden aning in Lu Moqing’s words.
If she insisted on not backing off, the Yi Family would truly change hands.
Leaving a "Take care of yourself", Lu Moqing left.
Yi Xin didn’t chase after him. Instead, she sat in the private room and lit another cigarette for herself.
She took a deep inhale, her gaze resting on the window, the thin veil of smoke obscuring her vision and the emotions swirling in the depths of her eyes.
She was no longer sure if her actions this ti were driven more by resentnt at losing to Qiaoxu or her long-standing sense of entitlent as the "main wife" towards Lu Moqing, both of which made her unwilling to let go.
She was disdainful of doing these sneaky things behind his back, yet she still did them.
She couldn’t tell whether the ridiculous loopholes she left were due to her impatience or her conflicted feelings, intentionally exposing them to Lu Moqing.
You and Lu Moqing, you’re not suitable.
These words soone had said to her suddenly flashed through her mind.
At the ti, she was unwilling to accept them and couldn’t let go. But over ti, she gradually realized that maybe the other person was right.
But she didn’t want to admit it, even deceiving herself and others to deny all of it.
As for whether she really wanted to marry Lu Moqing or not, it didn’t seem so important anymore.
Her thoughts wandered for a while, only returning when a surging warmth spread over her fingertips. The pain caused her to co back to her senses, her fingers had been burned by the cigarette and had already blistered.
