619 To see Prince Qiu Mu
Ye Xin found Lin Jiao quiet since she t Mingquan. “Why aren’t you saying anything? I asked you many tis if I should buy a new dress for tomorrow,” Ye Xin complained.
“Forgive . I didn’t hear,” Lin Jiao said.
“What happened? What did the Fourth Prince say to you in private? You are so quiet,” Ye Xin looked worried.
‘The answer is in the kiss.’
Lin Jiao recalled the last statent of Mingquan and shook her head. “Nothing,” she lied to Ye Xin.
“Did you again fight with the Fourth Prince?” Ye Xin crossed her arms across her chest. “The Fourth Prince is such a nice person. How could you even fight with him?” She scolded Lin Jiao.
“I didn’t fight with him,” Lin Jiao said with annoyance.
“Then? Why are you so lost?” Ye Xin inquired.
“I am not,” Lin Jiao said and asked her why she wanted to buy a new dress.
.....
“To look presentable,” Ye Xin replied.
“But you already have so many dresses. You can pick any one of them,” Lin Jiao opined.
“But I want sothing new. Two days ago, I saw a beautiful dress in the garnt shop. Let’s go there and buy it,” Ye Xin told her. Lin Jiao nodded at her and they left for the shop.
Ye Xin bought the dress for herself and told Lin Jiao that she should also buy sothing for herself.
“Umm… I don’t want to. I have loads of dresses. Brother bought a dress for last week,” Lin Jiao said.
“Tomorrow you need to get ready beautifully,” Ye Xin stated while descending the stairs.
“Why? Is there any occasion?” Lin Jiao asked.
“The Fourth Prince’s mother will send betrothal gifts for you. And the Prince be present there. You should dress up like a lady. Prince Mingquan likes you, but he has yet to tell you if he loves you. If you sway his heart, then the process will be quick,” Ye Xin said and gave her a wide smile.
“You are dreaming too much,” Lin Jiao said, and he walked ahead of her.
Ye Xin ran after her to match her steps and caught her arm. “Lin Jiao, you should not delay in knowing your feelings for the prince. Don’t you feel His Highness cares way too much for you? I can see the affection in his eyes for you. You will not find such a man… I an, it is tough to find a person like the Fourth Prince,” she asserted.
Lin Jiao didn’t deny that fact. But the biggest question in front of her was whether her feelings were strong for him or whether those were montary.

Kang Cha Ying looked at the tallest tree that was present in the Kang Residence. There was a swing attached to it. She recalled her childhood mories, where her brother, Kang Huijuan, would push her from behind on that swing.
A sigh escaped her mouth. Her brother was serving a lifeti imprisonnt. She used to miss him, but she could not either ignore the cris he committed.
Kang Huijuan had promised her he would check all the preparations during her marriage. Tomorrow, she would leave her ho. Everyone would be there except her elder brother.
“Sister Cha Ying looks upset,” Kang Horan, the younger brother of Kang Cha Ying, spoke.
Cha Ying imdiately turned upon hearing his voice and smiled. “Horan!” A wide smile was carved on her lips.
Kang Horan walked to her and hugged her tightly. “I missed my elder sister,” Kang Horan said. He had completed his academic studies earlier than most of the students in the sa class as him.
They withdrew when Kang Cha Ying asked him what he was doing there.
“What does Sister Cha Ying an? I am here to attend her marriage,” Kang Horan said.
“What about your studies? It was an important year for you,” Cha Ying said with a worried look.
“I finished my studies earlier than the others. The head of the academy granted to leave for ho then,” Kang Horan said. He was aware of everything that had happened in the capital and also knew what his father and elder brother did. The chief reason he wanted to return the earliest was to carry those responsibilities and lessen the burden of his sister.
“I heard Sister Cha Ying had run away. Did Father trouble you a lot?” Kang Horan asked her.
Cha Ying had no answer for it. “Let’s forget about the past. Everything has turned right,” Cha Ying said.
Kang Horan nodded and told her he would like to et Prince Qiu Mu.
“Why?” Cha Ying curiously gazed at him.
“I want to thank Prince Mu to bring my sister ho. My sister has no idea how worried I was when I found out about it. I tried to finish my studies as soon as possible,” Kang Horan said. His words brought tears to Cha Ying’s eyes and she held Horan’s hands.
“You have beco such a grown-up boy,” Cha Ying stated.
“I am seventeen, Sister Cha Ying. I cannot be forever a young boy,” Kang Horan affird.
“I am happy that you are ready to take care of everything. Behind , you have to take care of this family. Be a great man. The lost respect of the Kang Family we have to gain back,” Cha Ying stated.
“Yes. Elder Brother made a lot of mistakes,” Kang Horan said and sighed as he recalled what Kang Huijuan did.
“You should rest in your room. But before that, have als. I will bring food to your room,” Kang Cha Ying stated.
“I took als before coming to see you,” Kang Horan lied to her. He was desperate to et Qiu Mu first. Moreover, he had no appetite. He also wanted to see Kang Huijuan, whom he saw his role model once.
“I will see Sister Cha Ying in the evening,” Kang Horan said.
“What? Where are you leaving?” Cha Ying asked him.
“To see Prince Qiu Mu. I want to see my brother-in-law,” Kang Horan asserted and told her that he would return early as he had a lot of things to talk about with her.
