630 Cannot be together ever
“It has been five days and you didn’t go to see the Fourth Prince. It never happened before,” Ye Xin said to Lin Jiao, who was seated near the window on a floor mattress.
“If you have to say this to , then you can leave,” Lin Jiao said and focused her attention on the novel she purchased yesterday from the market. She giggled to read the scene from the novel when Ye Xin snatched it from her.
“Ye Xin!” Lin Jiao got annoyed.
“Lin Jiao, this is wrong. You are hurting yourself and also the Fourth Prince. Can you not go and see His Highness?” Lin Jiao inquired her.
Lin Jiao didn’t speak anything.
“Xiwan t my parents. Tomorrow we both will get engaged privately. You have to co, or else I will not take to you,” Ye Xin asserted with a smile and sat down on the mattress across from her.
“I will co,” Lin Jiao said. “You didn’t even wait to know about Xiwan. Who proposes a marriage in just one day?” She muttered.
“I couldn’t let him find soone else. Moreover, the day he got sick, I was worried for him. He had no one to take care of him. Only a few servants. Also, he respects a lot. He is one in a million for . That’s why I asked him to marry ,” Ye Xin asserted with a wide smile.
“That is good. I am happy for you,” Lin Jiao said and looked out of the window.
.....
“You should do the sa. Why are you not admitting your feelings for the Fourth Prince?” Ye Xin questioned her.
“I don’t like him. I am happy that he will not co and see ,” Lin Jiao said. Indeed, that was a harsh statent, but Mingquan had hurt her. She didn’t want to be with a man, who would even try to understand her once.
“Lin Jiao, at least don’t lie to . I know what you feel for the Fourth Prince,” Ye Xin stated.
“I should go out,” Lin Jiao ignored Ye Xin’s words and stood up. “We will celebrate for you. My best friend will get engaged tomorrow,” she muttered with a wide smile.
Ye Xin realized there was no use to make Lin Jiao understand. Still, she wanted to ask her once more. “Will you not go to the Fourth Prince anymore? You are already betrothed to him. Lin Jiao, Prince Mingquan cares for you that’s why he told you not to drink too much,” she said and stood up from her place.
“Did Xiwan get angry at you or scold you badly? Did he ask you not to co to him until you realize your mistake?” Lin Jiao asked.
Ye Xin shook her head.
“That’s what happened with . Prince Mingquan and I cannot be together ever. I have even thrown away the bracelet he gave . I won’t marry him. If he thinks that I’m an easygoing girl, then he is wrong,” Lin Jiao affird.
Ye Xin gently grabbed her arm. “Why did you throw that bracelet away? Lin Jiao, maybe Prince Mingquan’s intentions were not to hurt you,” she said.
“If you will keep preaching about him, it will annoy more,” Lin Jiao stated.
“Okay, I will not speak about the Fourth Prince. Should we head out?” Ye Xin asked.
Lin Jiao nodded her head and they both went to their favorite restaurant. However, as they stepped out of the room, the servant who just had co, inford Ye Xin about her brother’s ssage.
Lin Jiao gazed at Ye Xin and told her to go ho. “But we were supposed to celebrate,” Ye Xin said.
“We can celebrate tomorrow,” Lin Jiao asserted. Ye Xin hugged her before leaving for her house. Lin Jiao, on the other hand, left her house. She was suddenly infuriated to think about Mingquan. He didn’t co to see her. He made big promises to her earlier and now, he was acting like a jerk.
Lin Jiao got into a local carriage and reached the market. After going through a few shops, she stopped by a street-side sweet seller. She took out two coins and handed them to the seller before taking the sweets from him in a paper envelope.
Sitting on the bench, she enjoyed the sweets when two kids ca to her.
“Sister! Sister! Please give us so sweets too,” the kids said. Lin Jiao asked them to wait and purchased two varieties of sweets for them. The kids thanked her and left from there.
Her eyes fell on Mingquan, who was accompanied by Li Tian and Chang Shi. S few soldiers were also behind them when she turned her back to them.
“He looks happy. Idiot!” She gritted her teeth and resud eating.
“Isn’t she Miss Lin?” Chang Shi said and looked at Mingquan. He looked in the direction where Chang Shi was and snickered.
He thought she would co to him. But, she didn’t. Mingquan clenched his fists when he saw a young man going to her.
‘She is happily conversing with him. But with , she would always argue,’ Mingquan thought.
“I think they are close friends,” Chang Shi said and gazed at Mingquan. He was well aware of their fight and wanted Mingquan to make up for it.
“Is she the one, who will marry Prince Mingquan?” Li Tian asked Chang Shi.
“Yes. After a month when Prince Lóng Wei returns, they decided to get married,” Chang Shi replied. Li Tian smiled to hear it.
“It has not decided yet,” Mingquan said with a cold voice.
He saw Lin Jiao sharing sweets with the young man and was going sowhere with him.
“I have to go,” Mingquan said and told them to do the remaining work. Chang Shi and Li Tian complied with his command. They watched Mingquan go behind Lin Jiao.
“Is sothing going on between them?” Li Tian asked.
“A lot of things,” Chang Shi replied and smiled. He wanted Mingquan to make up with Lin Jiao instead of remaining upset for more days.
