Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"Aqing."

Ye Ziyu and Ye Qingyin came to the Ling Mansion to visit Tao Ling. Ye Qingyin and Ling Sichen went to buy some things, so only Ye Ziyu and Ling Bingqing returned to the Mansion first. As soon as they got off the carriage, they heard someone calling Ling Bingqing.

Qin Luoheng ran over and said hello. "Miss Ye San."

"Mr. Qin." Ye Ziyu greeted him.

"Let's go, Ayu." Ling Bingqing ignored Qin Luoheng and pulled Ye Ziyu into the mansion.

"Ah Qing, what's wrong with you recently?" Qin Luoheng asked, "I looked for you these past two days but you didn't show up."

"Nothing. What does Brother Luo Heng want to talk to me about?" Ling Bingqing said coldly.

Ye Ziyu glanced at Ling Bingqing, "This name, this attitude, does it mean that you don't like me anymore? Or are you deliberately staying away from me?"

"This is a gift I brought you from Liangzhou." Qin Luoheng took out a small box.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Luo Heng. Please take the gift back. I don't want it." Ling Bingqing said.

Ever since Ling Bingqing was sure of her feelings for Qin Luoheng but also knew that Qin Luoheng had someone else he liked, she wanted to restrain herself and suppress her love for Qin Luoheng.

But every time she saw the gifts sent by Qin Luoheng, she felt uncomfortable. Later, Ling Bingqing simply asked the maid to collect all the things sent by Qin Luoheng, and as a result, most of the room was empty.

Now that I have decided to give up this idea, how can I continue to accept gifts?

"Why? Didn't you always ask for it in the past? And you were always very happy." Qin Luoheng couldn't understand why Ling Bingqing's attitude towards him changed just because he came back one day later than them.

Fang Jingxiu had said before that he would help him find out the reason, but in the end all he had in return was one thing to say: Don’t be distracted and mess with other people.

Qin Luoheng didn't understand. How did he tease anyone?

"No reason. I just don't want it. Brother Luoheng, please don't send me anything in the future. Just give it to others." After saying that, Ling Bingqing was about to pull Ye Ziyu's hand in again. She didn't want to talk to Qin Luoheng anymore.

"Ah Qing." Qin Luoheng saw Ling Bingqing was about to leave, so he grabbed Ling Bingqing's other wrist and said, "Let's talk."

"I have nothing to talk to you about, let me go." Ling Bingqing struggled.

"Mr. Qin, it's not good to pull and tug at Aqing in front of the Ling Mansion." Ye Ziyu said, "This will ruin her reputation."

"Everyone knows that Aqing and I have a very good relationship, like brother and sister." Qin Luoheng said.

"They are not siblings." Ye Ziyu said anxiously, "If you have anything to say, just say it nicely and don't make any moves."

"Sorry." Qin Luoheng let go of his hand. "It's mainly because Aqing doesn't want to talk to me, and doesn't want to talk to me properly. When I get anxious..." Qin Luoheng lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

Qin Luoheng's look made Ling Bingqing feel uncomfortable.

"Let's talk." Ye Ziyu looked at Ling Bingqing and leaned close to her ear. "It's no use hiding all the time. Let's just talk it out."

"Okay, Brother Luoheng, come in." Ling Bingqing said.

Because Ling Bingqing and Qin Luoheng wanted to talk alone, the maid took Ye Ziyu to the courtyard to rest first.

The two sat face to face, and no one spoke. Ling Bingqing didn't know how to start, and after sitting for a while, she could no longer sit still. "Brother Luo Heng, if you don't have anything to say, then go back."

"Why are you suddenly so cold to me?" Qin Luoheng finally asked.

"I feel like I should keep my distance from you."

"why?"

"I'm not young anymore, I need to avoid suspicion."

"Heh." Qin Luoheng laughed out of anger. He hadn't asked about avoiding suspicion a few days ago, but now he had to do so in just two days.

"What are you laughing at?" Ling Bingqing asked.

"Why didn't you avoid suspicion before?"

"I've already said that you're not young now, but weren't you still young before?"

"Are you trying to avoid suspicion to the point of not even accepting gifts? You don't even want to see me?"

"Since you said you want to avoid suspicion, you definitely can't do it the same way as before."

"So you're going to ignore me for the rest of your life?" Qin Luoheng said.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ling Bingqing actually sensed a sense of grievance and spoke subconsciously, "No... No."

"Then you are still willing to see me, right?" Qin Luoheng's eyes lit up when he heard Ling Bingqing's answer.

Ling Bingqing took a deep breath, "Brother Luo Heng, you have someone you like, and I will have someone I like in the future. After all, we are not siblings. If the person you like knows that you always give gifts like this, he will be misunderstood."

Qin Luoheng frowned, "She won't misunderstand."

Ling Bingqing's heart was struck when she heard this, "Sure enough, he really has someone he likes. It seems that I was right to avoid suspicion."

"How do you know that she won't misunderstand? You are not her. Only she knows whether it is a misunderstanding or not. Maybe she just didn't make a fuss with you out of being generous." Ling Bingqing said excitedly.

"Ah Qing, don't be so excited."

"I'm not excited at all. How could I be excited?" Ling Bingqing choked up as she spoke.

"Okay, okay, you didn't, you didn't." Qin Luoheng stood up and walked to Ling Bingqing to coax her.

"Don't come over here, keep your distance." Ling Bingqing said.

"Aqing." Qin Luoheng called out and wanted to move forward.

"I told you not to come over here."

Qin Luoheng stopped and said, "Then let me ask you, will you misunderstand?"

"What do you mean, did I misunderstand?" Ling Bingqing was confused by Qin Luoheng's question. She was clearly talking about Miss Hua.

"Didn't you say that if the person I like knew about it, I would misunderstand? Then let me ask you now, will you misunderstand?"

"I...you..." Ling Bingqing couldn't believe what she heard and was stunned.

Qin Luoheng walked closer to Ling Bingqing and wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said softly, "Ah Qing, the person I like is you, so I want to give you a gift and want to see you, so I give you a gift. You will definitely not misunderstand, right?"

"Don't you think of me as your sister?"

“It used to be, but it’s not now.”

"Then why don't you give my sister a gift?"

"When do I give your sister her present?"

"Last time you went to Liangzhou and gave me a gift, you said you saw many people bought one for their sisters, so you bought one for me too."

"I bought that purely because it looks nice and I thought you would like it."

"My brother also said that you have someone you like. You have known each other since childhood and have expressed your feelings to each other. Isn't that Miss Hua?"

"??? I never told your brother that I have someone I like." Qin Luoheng was confused, then he thought of something and looked surprised, "Wait, so this is why you came back and hid from me?"

Qin Luoheng squatted in front of Ling Bingqing and looked at her expectantly, "Ah Qing, do you like me too?"

"I... I didn't. I just heard that you have someone you like, and you always give gifts to others. This is too much." Ling Bingqing pushed Qin Luoheng away and ran out.

"Hey, Aqing." Qin Luoheng didn't squat steadily and fell flat on his butt.
