Chapter 227 This Prince Likes You
"I said..."
Lin Jiangnian quietly stared at Zhiyuan's delicate and graceful girl's face, which looked particularly stunning because of her astonished expression. The originally calm and bright eyes were even more moved at this moment, slightly widened due to shock, and the reaction was extremely violent.
He looked slightly dazed, as if he hadn't yet reacted to Lin Jiangnian's brief but shocking words.
Lin Jiangnian held the plain hand in his arms tightly, squeezed it gently, looked into Zhiyuan's eyes, smiled slightly, and repeated it word for word.
"After we return to Linzhou this time, let's get married, right?"
"Of course, if you can't wait... you can get married in the capital."
"..."
Zhiyuan was stunned!
He stared at Lin Jiangnian blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
On the originally delicate face, the look of astonishment had not subsided, but a hint of disbelief had emerged. Looking at Lin Jiangnian, his fair and delicate skin was flushed with a hint of red.
Shortness of breath!
Very urgent!
There was silence all around, so quiet that you could almost hear your heartbeat.
The slightly red lips touched lightly, but not a word came out.
Get married?
Lin Jiangnian's words were no less than a depth bomb, instantly blasting the atmosphere to freezing point.
The paper kite was also blown up to the point where it was dizzy and stunned for a long time. Staring at Lin Jiangnian, complex expressions emerged, and at the same time... unbelievable!
silence!
Still silent!
Lin Jiangnian stared into Zhiyuan's eyes, silently watching her stunned and confused expression at this moment, and a bit at a loss.
"Why, why..."
Finally, after waiting in silence for a long time, Zhiyuan seemed to have finally come back to his senses. The shock in his eyes had faded a lot, but he became more and more confused.
The voice also contained a hint of deep confusion and uncertainty.
"What why?"
Lin Jiangnian quietly admired Zhiyuan's appearance at this moment, and said with a chuckle: "Why did I suddenly mention this matter?"
Zhiyuan was silent and didn't speak.
"Of course it's because you and I are in love, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match..."
Lin Jiangnian squeezed her little hand and chuckled: "What? You don't want to?"
Zhiyuan seemed to have been frightened, and subconsciously wanted to take out her hand, but Lin Jiangnian held her tightly, not giving her a chance to break free.
Zhiyuan couldn't break free, her delicate body was stretched straight, as if she was extremely nervous. She lowered her eyes and looked away from Lin Jiangnian.
"Let, let me go."
Zhiyuan spoke.
The voice was cold, with a hint of uneasy tension.
Lin Jiangnian did not let go. Instead, he held his hand tighter and even came closer, staring at Zhiyuan's snow-white face that could be broken by blows. There was not a single flaw on the face that was made of nature.
"You haven't answered me yet."
Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes and smiled softly.
He was not surprised that Zhiyuan would react like this.
Zhiyuan looked away and remained silent for a long time. When her rapid breathing subsided slightly, she seemed to have calmed down. She suppressed the shock in her eyes and said calmly: "Stop joking!"
"joke?"
Lin Jiangqing shook his head lightly: "I'm not kidding!"
He stared at Zhiyuan's delicate and beautiful face and said softly: "I have always wanted to tell you, but I just didn't have the chance before..."
"After returning to Linzhou this time, if this prince does not die in the capital..."
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and half-smiled: "When the time comes, I will go and tell my father and ask him to betroth you to me!"
"how?"
Lin Jiangnian still didn't wait for Zhiyuan's answer, perhaps because he was still digesting Lin Jiangnian's 'shocking' news. Lin Jiangnian was not in a hurry. This was his choice after careful consideration. Speaking out tonight also gives Zhiyuan some psychological preparation in advance.
Of course, there may be other reasons...
As for how to choose Zhiyuan, that was beyond Lin Jiangnian's consideration.
In short, if she agrees, she agrees, and if she doesn't agree, she has to agree!
…
Zhiyuan remained silent, facing Lin Jiangnian's burning gaze, she was a little at a loss what to do. Especially since I could handle it calmly in the past, but tonight I couldn't calm down no matter what. Lin Jiangnian's words were like seeds planted in her heart, taking root and growing vigorously.
She tried her best to calm down, but she couldn't.
"You haven't answered my prince's question yet."
Lin Jiangnian's chuckle sounded in his ears, and there was a hint of cynicism on his already handsome face.
"How about you give me a response?"
Zhiyuan was silent. After a long time, she raised her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian. She stared at Lin Jiangnian's face for a long time and then looked away again.
"You want to marry the eldest princess."
The voice was neither cold nor indifferent, and apart from being slightly dull, no emotion could be heard. But at the same time, Lin Jiangnian could feel the plain hand held in his palm, and tried to struggle free.
As if deliberately.
Lin Jiangnian naturally would not give her this chance. While continuing to prevent Zhiyuan from breaking away in anger, he shook his head gently: "Don't worry, I won't marry her."
Zhiyuan suddenly froze on the spot and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "What did you say?!"
Looking at Zhiyuan's stunned eyes, Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly: "I forgot to tell you, from the very beginning, I had no intention of marrying her when I entered Beijing..."
"This time I come to Beijing to break off the engagement!"
"..."
"Why?!"
Zhiyuan was even more shocked than when Lin Jiangnian said he wanted to marry her. She stared at Lin Jiangnian and even forgot to resist.
"It's troublesome to explain this."
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "In short, marrying her back will probably not be a good thing..."
"The current emperor is not so kind as to marry me a daughter who is likely to be a grandmaster in the future!"
"There must be a trick!"
"Whoever marries this princess is stupid..."
"..."
Zhiyuan didn't say anything. Her expression gradually calmed down from the initial shock. The marriage between the court and the Lin Wangfu was originally for a very deep purpose.
But...
What surprised her was Lin Jiangnian's attitude.
He actually wanted to cancel the engagement? !
Zhiyuan stared at him: "Do you know the consequences of breaking off the engagement?"
"Of course I know."
"Then you still dare?"
"Why not?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, met Zhiyuan's gaze, and chuckled: "I don't like her, I like you. If I want to marry, I will marry you!"
As if she didn't expect Lin Jiangnian to suddenly say it so boldly and bluntly, a touch of bright red climbed along the snow-white neck, and Zhiyuan turned her eyes away in panic.
"You, don't talk nonsense."
"Nonsense? How can it be nonsense!"
As Lin Jiangnian said, he took her into his arms and sniffed the faint and pleasant fragrance on the girl: "Can't you feel the feelings of this prince for you?"
Zhiyuan's body was stiff, more tense than ever before. Especially when she felt the familiar breath of Lin Jiangnian, accompanied by a bit of aggressive heat, her spirit was tense to the extreme at this moment, and she could hardly restrain herself.
"Boom!"
A powerful aura emanated from Zhiyuan's body, knocking Lin Jiangnian, who was beside him, flying away.
"Ouch!"
Lin Jiangnian screamed, and was knocked away by the aura of Zhiyuan, lying on the ground in a mess.
"Are you okay..."
Seeing this scene, Zhiyuan got up in a panic and hurried forward to check Lin Jiangnian's injuries.
At that moment, her body was almost unable to control the instinctive reaction. When she came to her senses, she immediately panicked. She was very clear about her own strength, and was afraid that Lin Jiangnian would be injured by her.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
Lin Jiangnian lay on the ground, his face full of wailing and painful expressions, and he seemed to have suffered a serious injury. Zhiyuan was extremely nervous and did not notice the playful and complacent smile on Lin Jiangnian's face at all.
Just as she approached and squatted beside Lin Jiangnian, wanting to check his injuries, Lin Jiangnian, who was still wailing, suddenly pulled hard. Zhiyuan, who was caught off guard, had no defense at all. She was pulled by Lin Jiangnian and staggered into his arms.
Lin Jiangnian hugged Zhiyuan, tightly hugged her slender waist, turned over, and pressed her under him.
Feeling the hot breath on her body, Zhiyuan suddenly realized that she had been fooled, and a trace of shame and anger appeared on her fair face.
"Let go, let me go!"
"You must promise this prince first."
Holding the girl's slender waist tightly, Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and stared at the girl under him, looking at the pretty face in front of him, which was so beautiful because of panic and shame, with rapid breathing, delicate nose, thin red lips, and red skin like a girl in early spring.
Very tempting!
Zhi Yuan stared at Lin Jiangnian with angry eyes, breathing rapidly: "Let go!"
"No!"
Zhi Yuan stopped talking.
Turning away her gaze, she bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was a little emotional.
Hey!
Still stubborn with him?
I was right, Zhi Yuan was indeed the most stubborn little maid beside him.
Just when Lin Jiangnian was thinking about how to subdue this arrogant little maid, he heard Zhi Yuan's voice without any emotion.
"If you don't marry her, you are disobeying the emperor's order!"
Lin Jiangnian lowered his eyes and saw that Zhi Yuan didn't look at him. Her slightly messy hair covered her faintly red face.
"My engagement with her was originally a game between my father and the emperor. As for whether to disobey the emperor's order or not, it's just a matter of one thought."
Lin Jiangnian didn't say it very clearly, but Zhi Yuan could understand it naturally. She was silent for a while, then suddenly turned her head and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Is this your idea, or the prince's?"
"Is it important?"
Zhiyuan didn't say anything, just stared at him.
"It's my idea."
Lin Jiangnian thought about it and chuckled.
Zhiyuan lowered her eyes slightly: "Does the prince know?"
"I told him a long time ago."
Lin Jiangnian said: "Marrying her back to the palace may not be a good thing. The court has been secretly plotting against the Lin Palace. If she is married, it will probably be in line with the court's wishes."
"My father doesn't want this, and I don't want it either!"
"Why?"
Facing Zhiyuan's burning gaze, Lin Jiangnian smiled: "Why else?"
"This prince has always been used to freedom and doesn't like being bound by others. Since I don't like the eldest princess, why should I marry her?"
Speaking of this, Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhiyuan's beautiful appearance in his arms again, smiling: "This prince likes you, so if I want to marry, it's naturally you."
Zhiyuan quickly turned her eyes away, her chest rising and falling with her rapid breathing. After a moment, she bit her lower lip lightly and said expressionlessly: "I can't."
"Why?"
Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, and her tone was without any emotion: "I'm just your maid."
"Didn't you say that since you left Prince Lin's Mansion, you have ceased to be my eldest son's maid?"
Lin Jiangnian seemed to be smiling, but Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and did not respond.
Seeing this, Young Lin Jiang sighed, held her delicate but somewhat stubborn little face, and said: "In the eyes of this prince, you are not a maid... Ask yourself, how can any maid dare to bully me? Master? How can any maid show off to her master as casually as you?"
"Reflect on it carefully. Are you a bit like my maid?"
Zhiyuan was silent, biting her lower lip, and wanted to look away, but Lin Jiangnian kept her face straight and refused to let her move. Facing Lin Jiangnian's hot questioning gaze, Zhiyuan was discouraged and simply closed her eyes.
No response!
"Besides, what about the maid? As long as I like you, I will marry you."
Lin Jiangnian's tone was a little unreasonable, and he stared at the blushing face in front of him quietly, as if he was thinking of something, and said, "Don't forget, you promised me something back then..."
"You said, as long as my father agrees, you will be fine... You won't cheat now, right?"
Zhiyuan's delicate body trembled, as if she had also remembered this matter. The heartbeat that had just been gentle began to beat uncontrollably. My head is in chaos and my thoughts are hard to calm down.
In the dead of night, the two of them were lying on the carpet in the room, intertwined.
At this moment, Lin Jiangnian suddenly became silent.
Zhiyuan was confused and subconsciously opened her eyes, but suddenly she saw Lin Jiangnian's extremely familiar handsome face, showing a proud look towards her. Before Zhiyuan could react, he suddenly came closer and kissed her thin face with precision. Red lips like cicada wings.
"Uh... no..."
Zhiyuan's pupils suddenly opened wide, her expression was panicked and shy, and her delicate body became tense and stiff instantly. My mind went blank and I even forgot to resist. She lost her mind and allowed Lin Jiangnian to invade. The hot and majestic familiar aura was vaguely about to wrap around her and melt her.
By the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late. The hot breath gradually overwhelmed her, and her rationality faded away bit by bit.
Until a certain moment, when it is about to take a step closer.
"No, no..."
A trembling voice came, and Zhiyuan held her chest tightly.
The pair of fiery eyes met each other, the delicate body trembled, and the beautiful face no longer lost half of its cold expression.
"I, I'm not ready yet..."
The trembling voice was like a frightened little white rabbit.
In the darkness, Lin Jiangnian stared passionately at the pitiful-looking paper kite in front of him. Never thought that she, who used to be cold and arrogant, would look so flustered and shy.
Cold and deeply panicked, accompanied by indescribable shyness, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were evasive.
Young Lin Jiang bent down gently, came close to the girl's crystal-clear earlobe, and whispered softly.
"Don't worry, this prince is a gentleman..."
"Just rub it..."
"..."
