1775 I Don’t Bite

Hexin pouted. The way he put it was like they knew each other very well…

“Aren’t you tired from standing so long?” Long Yin said with slight exasperation when he saw her still standing. “Sit down. I don’t bite.”

Hexin hesitated when she saw the twinkle in his eyes and she sat down on the stool opposite him.

“I’m not forcing you to agree to marry me immediately. I’ll be staying in the Yan Kingdom for a while. You have enough time to consider this properly. If you’re still unwilling to marry me then, I’ll give up.” Long Yin’s slender fingers played with the carvings on his cup as he said gently.

Hexin bit her lips when she heard his words. She lifted his eyes to glance at him and when she met his gaze, she quickly lowered her head and answered carelessly, “Oh.” She was actually relieved when he said he would not force her into marriage now. This meant that he would not be informing her parents of his intentions immediately. He was the crown prince of a country, after all, and could not stay in the Yan Kingdom for too long. As long as she put her foot down and did not give a reply, there was nothing he could do about her.

At this thought, she added, “Remember what you promised.”

“Of course.” Long Yin had already guessed her thoughts and could not help bursting with a laugh. It was his plan for her to let down her guard. Otherwise, how could he get her to agree to his marriage proposal when she was always wary and on her guard with him? “Xinxin, my parents actually like you a lot. They have mentioned before that they would like you to be their daughter-in-law.”

Hexin was stunned and looked at him in astonishment.

“That’s why I think we’re very well-suited.” Long Yin looked at her with a smile.

His words created mixed feelings within Hexin. She was very grateful for the love from Uncle Emperor and Aunt Weiwei, but it was impossible between her and Big Bro Long Yin…

She lowered her eyes. “My parents don’t want me to marry too far away. I don’t think we suit each other.”

“It won’t be a problem with Uncle Rui and Aunt Xin. I think that Aunt Xin likes me a lot. She would be happy for us,” Long Yin said with full confidence.

Hexin felt a little tired at the thought of how her mother treated him.

It was true that her mother liked Big Bro Long Yin a lot. She wondered what about him that her mother liked. They did not really spend much time with each other at all.

“Not necessarily.” Hexin poured cold water on him before standing up and wanted him to leave. “You’re already had your tea and we’ve said everything we need to say. You may leave now, Big Bro Long Yin.”

“Take me around for a look elsewhere.” Long Yin stood up and said matter-of-factly, “You were the one who told Aunt Xin and the others that you would show me around the mansion properly.”

Hexin was a little defeated. She wanted to say something when she heard a strange noise coming from the corner of a wall.

She quickly looked at where the noise was coming from.

A little head popped up from below the wall where a flower bush was covering it.

The corner of Hexin’s lips twitched when she saw this. “What are you doing, Hean?”

When Hean realized he had been spotted by Hexin, he emerged from where he was with a giggle. “Mother told me to get Big Bro Long Yin over for a meal.” He walked toward Long Yin as he spoke and lifted his head to look at Long Yin. He spoke like a little adult, “Big Bro Long Yin, are you planning to marry my older sister?”

Long Yin looked at him with a smile. “What do you think, Hean?”

Hean gave this some thought and ignored his sister, who was glaring at him from the side. He clapped his hands in agreement. “I think it’s great.”

The moment he said this, his ear was pulled. “How dare you listen in to our conversation so sneakily, Hean? Did everything you study get eaten by dogs?” Hexin was furious.

Hean quickly hid behind Long Yin and made a face at her. “I didn’t listen in sneakily. I just happen to come over here. Big Bro Long Yin noticed me long ago. You were the one so busy talking that you didn’t notice me. Can you blame me for that?”
