Chapter 346: Tricking the Kite

The capital city is extremely cold at night.

The cold wind almost bent the trees in the courtyard, and there was a rustling sound. The hazy moonlight shrouded the trees, reflecting the shadows in the courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian stepped to the courtyard next door.

Under the eaves, it was quiet.

The lights were on in Zhiyuan's room.

The door to the room was closed and there was no sound.

Lin Jiangnian's footsteps were very light and he came to the door of Zhiyuan's room without making a sound.

Standing at the door, he hesitated for a moment. Just then he took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Paper Kite?"

There was no response in the room.

"I'm in?"

Lin Jiangnian called again. Seeing that there was still no movement in the room, he reached out and pushed the door open.

The door was not locked and opened with a slight push.

Young Lin Jiang walked into the room with familiarity and closed the door behind his back.

Looking back at the room, the lights were dimly lit, the decoration was fresh and elegant, and there was a slight chill.

An oil lamp was lit on the table not far away. Beside the oil lamp, a beautiful figure was sitting quietly. He was holding a book with his head lowered and was reading it very seriously.

Even Lin Jiangnian's appearance did not cause the slightest movement.

Lin Jiangnian's steps were lighter. He approached slowly, came to the table, and looked down.

Zhiyuan seemed to have just taken a bath. There was a little mist floating in the air in the room. The girl's body fragrance and the bath fragrance were mixed together. It was very fragrant and smelled good.

She was wearing a thin and loose dress that wrapped her petite and graceful figure. A little less stubborn and cold, and a little more like a homely girl.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin Jiangnian felt that Zhiyuan seemed to have become more mature recently.

A bit of youthfulness has faded away, and an indescribable femininity has gained.

The original cold temperament was much reduced, replaced by an inexplicable gentleness.

The paper kite seems to be more gentle recently?

The girl who had just taken a bath at this time had a delicate, snow-white skin that was slightly red and very hydrated. On the slender neck, there is a hint of crystal clearness, and the thin and delicate collarbone is looming.

Further down...you can't see anything.

As Lin Jiangnian approached, Zhiyuan, who was sitting at the table, curled up his collar without leaving a trace.

Keep reading.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian's smile froze.

No...who is she guarding against?

"Paper Kite?"

Lin Jiang young shouted and sat next to Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan raised her eyes and gave him a cold look.

No words were spoken.

But this glance made Lin Jiangnian feel inexplicably guilty...

Logically speaking, tonight should be the time for Lin Jiangnian to take revenge... That night a few days ago, he was tapped on the acupuncture point by the paper kite and fell into a coma.

Immediately afterwards, Zhiyuan took advantage of his coma and carried out inhumane 'torture' on his body!

Devastated!

Lin Jiangnian hasn't settled this account with her yet.

In the past few days, Zhiyuan may have felt guilty, so he never came back. He has been hiding in his aunt's place to seek shelter.

After finally coming back tonight, it should have been a good opportunity for Lin Jiangnian to come to her for 'revenge'.

But at this moment, Lin Jiangnian felt inexplicably guilty.

As for the reason for his guilty conscience... that's self-evident.

I feel like I went out to eat secretly and my real wife caught me... panicked.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Jiangnian showed a kind smile to Zhi Yuan and looked at the book in Zhi Yuan's hand.

But the next second, Zhiyuan closed the book. Qing Leng raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Is something wrong?"

Such a cold tone made Lin Jiangnian's eyelids jump suddenly.

not good.

Don’t you really already know it?

That girl Zhao Xi, didn’t she really say everything to others?

Lin Jiangnian was panicking in his heart, but on the outside, Lin Jiangnian remained as calm as an old dog.

Don't panic!

"I heard from Xiaozhu that the young lady from the Zhao family came to Jiang Mansion to look for me today?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Have you met her before?"

Young Lin Jiang coughed: "What do you think of this Miss Zhao?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes for a long time. After a while, he suddenly said: "You want her to come in?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Lin Jiangnian immediately coughed violently, "What are you talking about? When did I want her to come in?"

"There is no such thing, don't think about it... This Miss Zhao and I are innocent!"

I just touched my legs, so I should still be considered innocent, right?

Lin Jiangnian comforted himself in his heart.

"Then you asked about her?"

Zhiyuan looked away and spoke calmly.

Lin Jiangnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I mentioned her because she came to visit today and wanted to tell you about it... How did you remember so much?"

Zhiyuan glanced at him: "She is the daughter of the dignified Prime Minister Zhao. Why does she come to visit you specially?"

"In terms of status, I seem to be higher than her, right? Is it strange that she comes to visit me?"

"Isn't it strange that she, a woman who has not yet left the government, comes here to look for you...?"

Zhiyuan asked calmly.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

When Zhi Yuan said this, it seemed that something was really wrong.

The daughter of Prime Minister Zhao took the initiative to make an appointment with Prince Lin... It does sound strange.

"This, it's a long story..."

Lin Jiangnian said while observing Zhiyuan's expression.

From her reaction, Lin Jiangnian gradually determined that... it should not be exposed.

Zhao Xi should not have mentioned to Zhiyuan what happened between Zhao Mansion and Miss Zhao.

Otherwise, with Lin Jiangnian's understanding of Zhiyuan, she should not be so calm now.

Zhiyuan, this girl, looks cold and lonely, as if she doesn't care about anything and it doesn't matter.

In fact... she is very narrow-minded.

She is also jealous!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's hanging heart finally let go.

Then, he explained to Zhiyuan what happened before.

"She came to visit today, probably to thank me for giving her this great gift from Chen Feiyang, so that she could take revenge by herself..."

Lin Jiangnian said in a low voice.

Zhao Xi's visit today was indeed partly for this matter, as for the other part...

That can't be told to Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan listened quietly, and there was still not much emotion on her cold and pretty face. But after thinking about it, he asked another question: "Why did you give Chen Feiyang to her?"

"Isn't this just a favor?"

Seeing Zhiyuan staring at him, Lin Jiangnian explained: "By the way, it's also to drag her and the Zhao family into the water..."

"Chen Feiyang has no use value anymore, and it's meaningless to die in my hands. But it's different if he dies in her hands... Once Chen Feiyang dies, she and the Zhao family are tied to us, and they can't run away..."

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes and thought carefully.

After Lin Jiangnian finished speaking, she raised her eyes and stared at him: "Just like this?"

"Huh?"

Looking into Zhiyuan's eyes, Lin Jiangnian blinked: "What else?"

"You and this Miss Zhao..."

Zhiyuan gradually narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at him: "What happened?"

Lin Jiangnian's heart suddenly jumped.

Lin Jiangnian calmly waved his hands. Seeing that Zhiyuan was still staring at him, he moved closer and put his hands around her slender waist, holding her in his arms, and then said ‘fiercely’: “Are you doubting me?”

Zhiyuan did not respond, and was held in Lin Jiangnian’s arms obediently. She raised her head slightly, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face, and her bright and clear eyes, still staring at Lin Jiangnian, and nodded.

“Yeah.”

She was doubting Lin Jiangnian.

She said it clearly.

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian was really a little flustered.

He was panicked by Zhiyuan’s eyes.

“Well, you even dare to doubt your own prince? You are so brave!”

Lin Jiangnian immediately showed a ‘fierce’ look.

Unexpectedly, Zhiyuan was not afraid at all, and still stared at Lin Jiangnian’s eyes: “You and her, are you…”

“No!”

Lin Jiangnian waved his hands and denied it flatly: “You think too much!”

Zhiyuan did not speak, lowered his eyes, and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, she said calmly: "If you like her, it's not impossible..."

When these words came out, Lin Jiangnian's heart jumped again.

What does this mean?

What do you mean it's not impossible?

Doesn't this mean that Zhiyuan can accept it...

Just when a trace of surprise emerged in my heart, I suddenly realized something, and I woke up instantly

Something is wrong!

This is not the character of little Zhiyuan to be so easy to talk to?

Don't be fooled.

"What are you talking about?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at Zhiyuan with a stern face and taught her: "You haven't even married me yet, and you're already thinking about finding a concubine for your husband?"

"Besides, I don't like Miss Zhao, so don't be suspicious here..."

Zhiyuan's clear eyes seemed to see through something, staring at him: "Do you really not like her?"

Lin Jiangnian's expression was not at all flustered, and he shook his head: "Don't like!"

As we all know, there are many situations to like someone.

Some people like interesting personalities, some people like resonant souls, and some people just simply like the body.

Lin Jiangnian is a vulgar person, and he is not interested in the interesting personality and resonant soul of Miss Zhao.

So it is completely reasonable for Lin Jiangnian to say that he does not like Miss Zhao.

He did not lie!

Miss Zhao's identity is too complicated and too smart. Lin Jiangnian does not like to have too many entanglements with such a smart woman. It is okay to play with her, but it is not necessary to marry her home.

Smart women are not easy to deal with. In comparison, Lin Jiangnian still prefers a girl like Xu Lan who has a clear personality and is silly.

Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time before looking away.

She did not speak again, but she could feel that her breath seemed to relax a little, and the originally cold and stern expression on her face seemed to ease a little.

Lin Jiangnian, who noticed this, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough... she was speaking in a sarcastic way.

If he had really followed Zhiyuan's words and brought Miss Zhao home, Lin Jiangnian would have been outside the door at this moment, feeling the cold wind.

"How can you be jealous?"

After dispelling Zhiyuan's suspicion, it was Lin Jiangnian's turn to complain first.

He embraced Zhiyuan, hugged her slender waist, and gently hugged her to sit on his lap.

Zhiyuan's face flushed, her eyes dodged, and she wanted to struggle to get up, but Lin Jiangnian tightened his slender waist and whispered in her ear: "Zhao Xi is the daughter of the current Prime Minister Zhao. What can I have with her? Can she look down on me?"

Zhiyuan blushed, a little flustered and embarrassed: "Who, who knows?"

"You are still stubborn?"

Lin Jiangnian heard it and became even angrier: "You are just guessing about your prince like this, right?"

"Your prince stands upright, sits straight... He has always been honest and upright!"

"Hmph!"

Zhiyuan snorted and turned her head away.

Lin Jiangnian deliberately straightened her pretty little face and stared at her embarrassed look: "What? Nothing to say?"

"Do you know that you have wronged your prince?"

"How do you tell me to compensate me?"

Hearing the word "compensate", Zhiyuan's pretty face immediately turned red, and she struggled to get up.

Obviously, based on her understanding of Lin Jiangnian. The word "compensate" is definitely not a good thing.

It is definitely not serious!

But Lin Jiangnian didn't let her break free. He finally got the chance. Why not quickly suppress her arrogance and take her down?

Just when Lin Jiangnian wanted to continue to "condemn" Zhiyuan from the moral high ground, Zhiyuan struggled for a while, as if she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly looked up at Lin Jiangnian.

"You, are you with her..."

"What?"

"You are with her..."

Zhiyuan's face was still slightly red, but there was a strange glow in her eyes.

"Didn't I say it? Miss Zhao and I are innocent..."

"Not Zhao Xi."

"Not Zhao Xi?"

Lin Jiangnian was stunned: "Then who are you talking about?"

"Liu Su!"

Zhiyuan stared at Lin Jiangnian, with a complicated expression on her flushed face. She stared at Lin Jiangnian: "You and her... are also innocent?"

"Open and honest?"

"..."

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

What are you talking about?

Zhiyuan was fine, why did she suddenly mention Liu Su?

This...

It's hard to explain!

Lin Jiangnian could confidently tell Zhiyuan that he and Zhao Xi were innocent because the two of them could be considered innocent.

But Liu Su...

This is really not innocent!

Not only is she not innocent, but she is even...

Quite intense!

"Why did you suddenly mention her?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice was obviously much weaker. He coughed and tried to change the subject: "That was a long time ago... I don't remember it clearly!"

"Hey, why are your hands so cold?"

Lin Jiangnian held Zhiyuan's soft and cold hands and asked worriedly: "Why are you wearing so little? Don't catch a cold!"

"I'll go get you some clothes..."

Zhiyuan didn't move, staring at Lin Jiangnian.

"Have you, been with her..."

Zhiyuan didn't continue.

But the question was already very obvious.

Seeing that he couldn't fool people by changing the subject, Lin Jiangnian was silent, sighed lightly, and nodded.

Zhiyuan was such a smart person, when she asked, it was obvious that she had come with the answer.

When Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su were in the Lin Wang Mansion, they lived together day and night, and they were alone in the same room... At that time, Zhiyuan had already realized something.

Now asking, it is obviously just to confirm the idea in his heart.

When he saw Lin Jiangnian nod, the redness on Zhiyuan's face disappeared, and his face gradually turned pale.

Although it was a guess, seeing it with his own eyes would still be another indescribable feeling.

Zhiyuan took a deep breath and continued to stare at Lin Jiangnian's eyes. In those beautiful and lively eyes, there seemed to be a little more uneasiness and inexplicable stubbornness.

"You, like her?"

"Right?"

Lin Jiangnian looked into Zhiyuan's eyes, he clenched the bare hands under Zhiyuan's sleeves, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "I guess so."

"I guess so?"

"Not at first, but I realized it later."

"When did it start?"

Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and said: "Probably, it started from the day she left Lin Wangfu..."

"Kacha!"

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the yard outside the house.

...
