The carriage was speeding on its way back to General Lin's Mansion.
Lin Yi sat in the corner as always.
Qin Shuihan looked a little miserable at this time. After all, for a person of his status to apologize, it was simply a fantasy.
But he struggled mentally for an unknown amount of time, and finally couldn't help but say, "Miss Lin Er, it's my fault today."
Lin Yi sighed, why couldn't he control his emotions just now? Qin Shuihan was indiscriminate, so why should she care about him? Why should she care about his words when he was not hers in the first place.
Suddenly she felt homesick and wanted to return to her original world.
I wonder if grandma will be devastated by her death?
For my mother who is far away in France, even if she no longer exists, it is of no importance.
After a while, Lin Yi finally realized Qin Shuihan's gaze. She suddenly felt that she should make a statement, so she uttered something coldly.
"Um...nothing."
The voice was cold and low, and her thoughts were still in that distant modern era.
Qin Shuihan squinted his eyes and tightened his thin lips, his brows furrowed deeper, and the fists in his sleeves were always clenched tightly.
Does this answer mean you have forgiven yourself, or are you still angry?
It took a lot of effort to apologize to her, what kind of attitude is this!
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shuihan reluctantly unclenched his fist and said softly, "I'm just worried about you, and I don't want you to get too close to Ye Ziming."
Lin Yi came back to her senses and wondered: Did Qin Shuihan apologize to him just now?
Are you explaining to yourself again now?
She felt a little weird, but she was really not angry. Originally, she was not a troublesome woman and would reflect on herself. After what happened, it wasn't entirely his fault, it was mostly the shadow of his childhood that he didn't want others to uncover.
"I'm really not angry anymore... I was a little angry just now. Anyway, it's over..."
This answer surprised Qin Shuihan, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere in the carriage continued to be awkward.
Lin Yi finally realized that Qin Shuihan beside her seemed a little different from before, so she paused and picked a topic at random.
"King Han, do you have a good relationship with Lord Ye?"
"Um?"
"I see you are quite familiar with each other. Miss Ye is very passionate about you. Why do you have to argue with me today and insist on sending me away? It would be bad for them to misunderstand..."
Qin Shuihan looked at her with a complicated expression, really unable to guess what she was thinking.
After a while, he said helplessly: "Zi Ming is indeed a rare young talent. As for Miss Ye, I have no personal affection for her."
Lin Yi was very surprised. Qin Shuihan didn't even like such a gentle and jade-like beauty?
It’s really out of this world.
"You don't even like how beautiful you are. It's rare for someone to like you so much!"
"you!"
"Did I say something wrong?"
"If someone is beautiful, I will like her? If someone likes me, I will like her?"
Qin Shuihan was a little angry. Regarding the relationship between men and women, his thoughts have been focused on Lin Yi since unknown time, but she never appreciated it and even pushed him to other women.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Then I like you, you like me!"
Lin Yi was a little stunned and looked at the aggressive Qin Shuihan blankly. It's not that she hasn't been confessed before, it's just that this kind of attitude doesn't sound like she likes her. Instead, she seems to be angry.
"...King Han, that's not what you said..."
Qin Shuihan had a dark look on his face.
Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Yi could feel his displeasure, but she really didn't say anything wrong!
She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "It's not a joke..."
Qin Shuihan sighed helplessly.
After a long while, he said quietly: "I have fallen in love with you, and I don't know when, but you have slowly lived in my heart. But you have always avoided me... I have always been very... I want to know what dissatisfaction you have with me besides being a prince."
His voice was low, with a hint of mistiness and helplessness, and a hint of expectation and dominance.
It reached Lin Yi's ears and reached her heart, causing waves.
He spoke so sincerely and asked so straightforwardly, as if Qin Shuihan at this time was not the aloof King Han, but just an ordinary man who poured out his love with a sincere heart.
Lin Yi swallowed. She couldn't trample on other people's sincerity. She had to answer seriously.
"I have no dissatisfaction with King Han... I just never know King Han's intentions... I am just an ordinary woman. No matter my status, I cannot be as high as King Han..."
"Then now that you know my king's thoughts, how do you feel?"
Qin Shuihan asked urgently, his breathing a little messy.
How aggressive!
Lin Yi himself didn't know how he felt about Qin Shuihan. Now when I think back on everything he did, I finally realize that it was Luo Hua Youqing.
She was a little flattered, but what was her intention?
Does she like him?
Qin Shuihan is different from the men around her. Those boys of similar age in the world do not have his aura. He is wise, calm, domineering, and impeccably handsome. Such a man is like the hero in a romance novel.
It's just that when such a person appears in real life and conveys his feelings to himself, Lin Yi feels a little unreal.
She didn't want to give an irresponsible answer in a hurry.
"I…"
Lin Yi hesitated and didn't know what to say. She originally wanted to excuse herself by saying that she was still young. In modern society, people who get married in their early twenties could not get married, but then she thought about it. This was ancient times, and she had long since had haircuts.
It is the first time for men to get married, and for the first time women to get married.
"I haven't thought about getting married yet. Can King Han... don't be so hasty... force me to answer..."
This was the first time Qin Shuihan expressed his feelings to her. He calmed down and showed a smile on his lips.
How could he bear to force her.
At this moment, he still felt a little secretly happy in his heart. Compared to the way he never got a response every time, he felt very satisfied listening to her embarrassing answer. Based on his understanding of her, he knew that she would not tell lies in front of him. If you really don't like it, you'll definitely tell it right away. Not even afraid of myself. So far, she is the only woman who does not care about her identity as King Han.
Qin Shuihan smiled softly and said, "I won't force you. I just hope Miss Lin Er can remember that you are always in my heart."
Lin Yi's face instantly turned as red as an apple. She slapped her unconsciously a few times and then put down her hand. Anyway, the light in the car was dim and the guy next to her would not be able to see clearly.
It's just that you can't flirt anymore, it will exceed your psychological endurance limit.
Lin Yi tried hard to avoid this topic, but when he was extremely embarrassed, he suddenly thought of a very practical problem.
My economic foundation has not been solidified yet!
"The reason why I am not in a hurry to think about marriage is because...because I also want to make more money...without money, I feel uneasy..."
Her style of painting changed so quickly. How could she, who was very shy just now, suddenly withdraw money in a serious manner?
Suddenly, Qin Shuihan's expression became stiff and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Suddenly he remembered the time when she came to the medical clinic to apply for a job, and couldn't help but wonder what happened to Miss Lin Er who was so short of money?
In this case, my status as a prince should not be the best financial guarantee, so why do I dislike the royal family?
"If you can marry me, I will definitely not treat you badly. Could it be that Prince Han's Mansion cannot provide you with the life you want? Why are you so obsessed with making money?" Qin Shuihan was really curious.
After all, Lin Yi is a modern person, and contemporary women must have an independent spirit. In addition, it is difficult to find a good man. How can she do it without being strong first?
"When King Han likes me, he will definitely give me everything he has. If he doesn't like me anymore, then I will starve to death on the streets. So this is not a question of money, but a question of whether I can make money."
Lin Yi argued righteously.
Even if she is a concubine who has been relegated to the cold palace, her reward and salary will not be less. As long as her identity is there, how can she starve to death on the streets?
Qin Shuihan frowned, not to mention that he really wanted to marry her as Princess Han, and he had no plans to have three wives and four concubines. Otherwise, he would not have stopped marrying and taking concubines when he was twenty-three years old, and he was two years older than himself. The prince Qin Zhe has already established three concubines.
But what Lin Yi said doesn't seem to focus on starving to death.
He was a bit confused and couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yi carefully calculated her small treasury. After another month of trial period, she would be able to get a monthly salary of one thousand.
"King Han, don't forget that there is only one month left before you have to give me a monthly salary of one thousand. Doctor Ma and the others have not denied my medical skills. You can't break your promise!"
"..."
The carriage arrived at General Lin's mansion.
Butler Liu was already waiting at the door with a lantern.
Qin Shuihan helped Lin Yi get out of the car and accidentally touched her little hand.
At that moment, Lin Yi's hand suddenly shrank and her face turned red again.
Under the reflection of the lantern, it looked as red as an apple.
Xuanfeng lowered his head and held his feet, pretending not to see anything. He must have heard correctly just now. The master confessed his love to Miss Lin Er!
However, Miss Lin Er's answer was really speechless. He felt that his master had met the biggest opponent in his life!
What a bastard!
Lin Yi knew that her face must be as red as a monkey's butt at this moment. Why did she feel embarrassed to help herself out of the car when she confessed to her? Then she immediately turned around and grabbed Qin Shuihan's sleeve, avoiding contact with her fingers and jumped out of the carriage.
All this fell into Qin Shuihan's eyes, as sweet as eating honey. He was very happy tonight and felt that the trip was worthwhile. Fortunately, he went to Ye Mansion to pick her up, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to open his heart.
But thinking about Ye Ziming, I still felt a little uneasy in my heart.
He immediately declared his sovereignty domineeringly.
"That Ye Ziming, don't get too close."
Lin Yi was speechless. She was so jealous even before she promised him anything! She couldn't help but lower her eyes and stare at him.
"I'm just asking Mr. Ye to build a few tools to help me practice medicine and save people. King Han, are you trying to restrict my personal freedom?"
Qin Shuihan thought for a while. Indeed, the tools made by Tianyilou were the best, and his own tool room could not compare with them.
But he suddenly became curious about what Lin Yi needed to build.
"No."
Lin Yi stared at her, waiting for his next words.
He never wanted to restrict her freedom, he wanted her sincerity.
“What tools do you need to build?”
Lin Yi thought for a moment, the drawings had been given to Zi Ming, and he might not be able to understand the description...
"It's a secret, but I'll show it to you as soon as it's built. You can look forward to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi raised his face and curved his mouth.
As long as it involves medical skills, she always looks confident. Qin Shuihan also curled up his lips, suddenly looking forward to what kind of tool it would be.
Looking at her proud look, I thought it was really cute and couldn't help but reach out and brush her hair.
"Finally, it's natural for you to do this."
He wanted to say that she looked beautiful with her hair down, but he felt that if it was too straightforward, would it make him look like a deceiver?
Seeing him reaching out to touch her hair, Lin Yi was slightly startled. When she met his eyes, there was no sign of being a follower at all, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
Butler Liu and the servant are both at the door!
Lin Yi touched her hair, too shy to look up.
She moved a step closer to him and whispered: "The weather will get colder anyway, and it will keep you warmer if you wear your hair down. Then I'll have this hairstyle, and Cuizhu can use the unused headgear."
Qin Shuihan was very moved, how short of money this Miss Lin was!
