Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 129

[Chapter 129: Be Frank]

In the side room, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun sat opposite each other at the table.

Last night, they had prayed to their parents and heaven and earth and became husband and wife. They should have been the closest people in the world, but this table seemed to divide them into two worlds.

Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Lingjun and said calmly: “I know that you are not satisfied with this marriage. You don’t want to marry me, and similarly, I don’t want to marry you.”

Zhao Lingjun didn’t say anything and listened to him quietly.

Lin Xiu continued, “I admit that Miss Zhao is very beautiful and has a high talent for supernatural powers. The people in Wangdu who want to marry you can line up from the Zhao family to the city gate. I, Lin Xiu, am not up to par with her, and I don’t even want to marry her. I don’t know if Marquis Wu’an has told you that the Lin family once went to the Zhao Mansion to cancel the engagement, but because of that dog… because of Your Majesty, the cancellation of the engagement was not successful.”

Zhao Lingjun

nodded and said, “I know.” Lin Xiu

said, “You were not in the bridal chamber last night…” Zhao Lingjun

said, “I’m sorry.” Lin Xiu waved his hand and said, “Don’t be sorry, I understand.”

He looked at Zhao Lingjun again and said, “Don’t worry that I will hate you for this. If I were you, I wouldn’t even come back to Wangdu, let alone agree to get married. Besides, the bridal chamber should be with the woman you like. Miss Zhao is good, but she is not my type.”

Zhao Lingjun looked at Lin Xiu suddenly became curious and asked, “What type do you like?”

Lin Xiu smiled and said, “I don’t know if you know Qin Wan, and Xue Ning’er…”

He soon realized that he had said too much, coughed lightly, and brought the topic back, saying, “Well, I didn’t come to you tonight to talk about this. Although we have already married, I think it’s better to talk about some things.” Zhao Lingjun nodded and said, “Go ahead.”

Lin

Xiu organized his words and said, “This marriage is not what we want. You don’t want to marry me, and I don’t want to marry you. We are husband and wife in name, but not in reality. I won’t ask you for anything, and I hope you don’t ask me for anything. To be specific, I won’t bother you if there is nothing wrong, and I hope you don’t bother me either.”

Zhao Lingjun didn’t say anything, so Lin Xiu took it as if she had no opinion.

Then, he said, “To be honest, I have a woman I like, and I don’t want to delay my life’s happiness because of this marriage in name only, so—can you understand what I mean?”

Lin Xiu only said half of his words, but he believed that Zhao Lingjun could understand.

Zhao Lingjun glanced at Lin Xiu, nodded and said, “Whatever happened between you and other women has nothing to do with me.”

Lin Xiu was waiting for her to say this.

Even on the day of the wedding, she left him alone without notifying Lin Xiu, but Lin Xiu did not hate her.

If he were Zhao Lingjun, although he would not do it as decisively as she did, he would not really succumb to fate.

Tonight, he came to Zhao Lingjun in the hope that the two of them could talk openly and reach a consensus on certain things.

So far, their conversation has been very successful.

Zhao Lingjun is not an unreasonable person, which makes Lin Xiu overjoyed.

He even feels that this marriage is not a bad thing for him?

Apart from Zhao Lingjun, where can he find such a reasonable wife?

If he married Lingyin, he dared to tell Lingyin that he would find other women outside after marriage, Lingyin would definitely break his legs.

Although the dog emperor did not have good intentions, he did a good thing.

No, it’s not a dog emperor, it’s obviously the respected emperor.

At this moment, Lin Xiu seemed to smell the breath of the sea, and the fragrance of the forest seemed to be blowing in his face.

He could show off.

He looked at Zhao Lingjun with emotion and said, “Miss Zhao, thank you, thank you so much.”

Zhao Lingjun said, “You’re welcome.”

What Lin Xiu said to her tonight was also beyond her expectations.

There was no pestering, no hysteria, he was very rational, Zhao Lingjun also liked his rationality, which was exactly what she wanted, and it was also the best result.

The first meeting of the newlyweds after marriage ended in an unusually harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Xiu was very happy, very happy, and when he walked out of the wing room, he couldn’t help humming a song.

Who said that marriage is a man’s grave? It was clearly the beginning of his happy life.

Through the meeting just now, he and Zhao Lingjun reached a high degree of agreement on their life after marriage.

That is, although the two of them are husband and wife in name, they will not be husband and wife in reality.

Lin Xiu doesn’t care about her escaping from the bridal chamber, nor will she demand her by the standards of a wife. Similarly, she has no right to interfere in Lin Xiu’s affairs.

You go your Chenghua Road, I go my Erxian Bridge.

Non-aggression, peaceful coexistence.

I let you go, you let me go.

Of course, in front of outsiders, they have to behave like normal couples.

Especially the parents of both sides must not know the truth.

He and Zhao Lingjun also reached a consensus on this point.

He has really worried in vain in the past six months. If he had known that it would be like this after marriage, Lin Xiu might have looked forward to getting married every day.

Lin Xiu was really grateful to Zhao Lingjun, so she generously gave her the wedding room.

The wing room is for guests. It is small and looks cramped. It is not comfortable to live in. The main room is more than twice as spacious. She freed Lin Xiu from the sea of suffering, and Lin Xiu must repay her well.

Of course, Lin Xiu didn’t plan to sleep in the wing room.

He didn’t even think about living here.

Although he and Zhao Lingjun had reached a consensus, living together, they would be embarrassed to see each other every day.

There is another important reason. He has a lot of secrets. Living with outsiders is very inconvenient. If you are not careful, there will be a risk of exposure.

A Ke is a comrade who shares the same ideals and beliefs with him. There can be no secrets between comrades.

Zhao Lingjun and him are husband and wife in name, but strangers in reality.

At this time, Lin Xiu realized that Li Baizhang, as a person who has been through it, is indeed foresighted.

He also needs to buy another house.

It’s just that Lin Xiu has just paid off his debts and doesn’t have much money on hand. It is estimated that he will have to save for a few more months. Li Baizhang has just bought a house and should not have much money on hand…

Speaking of buying a house, Lin Xiu suddenly came up with a plan.

The house in the royal capital is too expensive. Even if he has money, he can’t bear to buy it.

It would be great if someone could give him one.

He is talking about the dog emperor.

Lin Xiu already has a brilliant idea in his mind, but it’s too late now. He has to wait until tomorrow to implement it.

It was late at night, the old beggar and the peddler had finished their work and went home, but Lin Xiu was not worried at all.

Their strength could not keep up with Lin Xiu’s growth. Those who could not threaten Lin Xiu could be dealt with by himself, and those who could threaten him were useless even with the two of them.

The prince has been very quiet recently, so there is no need to worry about him sending people to assassinate him again.

In fact, it was also because Lin Xiu’s fame was getting higher and higher, and he could no longer do anything to him like before.

Walking alone on the street, Lin Xiu found that he had nowhere to go.

He didn’t plan to go back to the wedding house, nor could he go to his parents’ house. The old house of the Lin Mansion was lent to the beggar. Could it be that he had to stay in an inn tonight?

Having solved the most important thing in his life, Lin Xiu was happy even if he had to stay in an inn.

It was already very late at this moment, and there were no people on the street. Lin Xiu was planning to find an inn to stay for one night. When he walked past a certain street corner, he found a figure coming towards him.

Lin Xiu found that Qin Wan seemed to always like to walk around the street late at night.

Qin Wan also found that Lin Xiu never went home at night.

Not long after, at a noodle stall on the street, Lin Xiu ate three bowls of noodles in a row. Last time, Qin Wan ate three bowls of wontons from him, and this time he ate three bowls of noodles from her, so they were even.

Then Lin Xiu looked at Qin Wan and said, “Miss Wan’er, you haven’t paid me back the money you borrowed from me last time…”

Qin Wan looked a little unnatural, and said, “Can you give me a few more days? I’ll pay you back in a few days.”

Lin Xiu nodded and said, “Don’t worry, as long as you haven’t forgotten.”

Qin Wan said at this time, “I haven’t congratulated you on your wedding yet.”

Lin Xiu said, “Thank you.”

Qin Wan asked again, “On the second day of your wedding, why is Mr. Lin still out now? Aren’t you going back to accompany Miss Zhao?”

Lin Xiu glanced at her and asked, “It’s so late, isn’t Miss Qin also out, aren’t you going home to sleep?”

Qin Wan stood up, paid for the noodles for both of them, and then said, “I’ll go back now.”

Lin Xiu also stood up and said, “I’m going home too.”

He said he was going home just for his own face. In fact, Lin Xiu had no home to go back to. He deliberately bypassed a street and walked into an inn.

At the inn counter, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan looked at each other, both feeling a little awkward.

“Didn’t Master Lin go home?”

“Didn’t Miss Wan’er also say she wanted to go home?”

…

The innkeeper looked at the two people at the counter and said, “Two guests, there is only one guest room left in our store, which one of you wants it?”

Qin Wan took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and said, “I want it, I came first.”

Lin Xiu slapped a silver ingot on the table and said, “I’ll pay more!”

The innkeeper looked at the silver ingot, and it can be seen that his heart has leaned towards Lin Xiu.

At this time, Qin Wan looked at Lin Xiu and said, “Master Lin, His Majesty has just rewarded you with a wedding mansion, so don’t compete with me for this guest room, right?”

Lin Xiu looked at Qin Wan’s pleading eyes and felt a little bit reluctant.

Yes, it is too rude for a grown man to fight with a woman. When this thought came to his mind, Lin Xiu was startled and immediately turned his head away, no longer looking at Qin Wan’s eyes, and said, “I’m sorry, I also need this room. As for who to give it to, let the shopkeeper decide.”

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to Lin Xiu’s silver, but someone was faster than him.

Qin Wan took Lin Xiu’s silver from the counter, and then handed it to him, saying, “I know Mr. Lin has money, but there is no need to waste it. You have helped me a lot. I will pay for the room tonight. If you have nowhere to go, we can make do for one night…”
