1768 I Don’t Want To Be A Substitute
Long Yin’s expression softened. “Xinxin, you’re right that I was the one who crossed the line, which is why I want to take responsibility for it. I’ll visit your parents tomorrow and ask for your hand in marriage, alright?”
Hexin laughed in anger at his grand words. “Are you thinking of taking responsibility because you think that no one wants ?”
Long Yin frowned. “Why would you think that? It’s not what I ant…”
Hexin cut him off sarcastically, “Or do you an to say that you are in a hurry to find a substitute to replace Big Sis Lu Xue in your heart because you were horribly hurt by her?”
Long Yin was stunned. He looked at her like he did not recognize her at all.
He realized that it was not only Hexin’s look that had changed—even her personality had beco sharper. It had never crossed his mind that the kind and understanding Lil Sis Hexin could say such hurtful words.
Long Yin massaged the spot between his eyes. “Hexin, you are underestimating . Whatever that is between and Lu Xue has passed a long ti ago.”
“You’ve probably forgotten that you thought I was Lu Xue that day, which was why you… Stop lying to yourself Big Bro Long Yin. I don’t want to be a substitute for anyone. Find yourself another girl.” Hexin pushed him away while she spoke and turned to walk away.
Even if Lu Xue had already married Wanyan Zhi, Big Bro Long Yin might never forget her in this life.
It was enough that he had mistaken her for Lu Xue on the day he was drunk. How could he ask to do sothing even worse now?
She was now so random person to be played with by him. What right did he have to think that she would be willing to marry him and beco his substitute just because he was willing to take responsibility?
Even the most unfeeling person in this world had a line that could not be crossed. This ti, Long Yin had seriously angered Hexin.
Hexin pressed her lips. Besides feeling annoyed, she also felt slightly aggrieved.
Their eting once again ended on an unhappy note and Long Yin suddenly felt exhausted.
Besides escorting Yaoyao to the Yan Kingdom for her wedding, Long Yin was here for another reason, which was to ask for Hexin’s hand in marriage from her parents.
Hexin had not co of age two years ago and it was not appropriate for him to suddenly appear at the Yan Kingdom to ask for her hand.
Now that she had co of age, he felt like this was the right ti.
He had to take responsibility no matter what.
Long Yin sat down in the corridor and did not re-enter the hall.
When the banquet ended, Qi Heng ca looking for him in a drunken state.
“Why didn’t you drink today, Your Highness?” Qi Heng had never been one to hold his liquor well and he had been drunk quite a while ago after being given so many drinks. His eyes were seeing double no matter who he looked at.
Long Yin stood up and darted him a look, but did not reply to his question. Instead, Long Yin said, “You should go back to rest since you’re drunk.”
He took the lead and headed for the door.
Qi Heng stumbled as he followed him and knocked into soone by accident.
He thought that it was an official from their party and grabbed the person around the shoulders and said, “I can’t walk much further. Give a hand.”
Qi Heng did not realize at all that the person he was hugging was a girl who was looking at him in shock.
It took quite a while before she reacted as she shouted at the top of her voice, “Cousin Xinxin, co and save . There’s a pervert here!”
The Palace was heavily restricted, how could a pervert enter there?
Hexin, who was walking behind them, heard this and wondered what happened without much focus. It was only when she ca nearer that she saw Yuan You being hugged by a man.
It looked like the man was drunk.
Hexin found the sight of drunk n quite hateful.
Especially those who used being drunk as an excuse.
When she saw what was happening, anger consud her as she rushed over and gave the man a kick. “Let go of her, you jerk.”
Qi Heng lost his footing because of the unexpected kick and fell forward to the ground with a bang.
When he heard the commotion behind him, Long Yin turned to look and walked toward them.
