Marrying Gold and Jade

Lin Yu reacted for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Ming Yuan.

He didn't mention the confusing theft case again, but his condescending attitude was still unpleasant.

"He is mine, so you must send him home."

Even after being knocked many times, she still refused to give in.

Lin Ji had explained all the reasons, but at this moment he couldn't help feeling powerless.

"What do you like about him?"

When he spoke again, his voice was a little tired, "He is even disabled."

Lin Yu only answered the second half of the sentence: "I will cure him."

The finger bones on his knees tightened quietly, and the man said nothing more.

"However," Lin Yu said again, "I will ask him about his own wishes regarding what you said."

I got home very late that day.

The sedan was ready at the door, and Lin Yu was finally able to take off her coat and throw it into the man's hands.

He climbed onto the sedan chair and said, "I am very tired today. I will tell my mother to ask the kitchen in the courtyard to prepare some food. I will not go to the dining hall."

Qingdai put the cloak on her again, said "yes" and went to deliver the message.

By the time Lin Ji got off the car, she had already left in a sedan.

She lowered her eyes to her arms, where the coat she had just taken off was neatly draped over them.

Lin Ji had no choice but to go to the dining hall alone.

The Lin family is a very simple family. The Lin couple have a harmonious relationship. There is not even a concubine in the family. They only have one daughter, Lin Yu, and one adopted son, Lin Ji.

Ruan complained a few words to her daughter at the dinner table, but Lin Ji could tell that she was more concerned.

The woman finally asked with a smile: "Did Yuer cause you any trouble when you went out today?"

Lin Ji said truthfully: "No."

Ruan nodded with satisfaction, "Yu'er is a child who has been spoiled by me. If she gets naughty in the future, just tell me and I will teach her a lesson."

Lin Ji thought of the servant.

He released the person for the time being and returned the things.

But if you tell this to the woman in front of you, she comes from a scholarly family, has a gentle nature, and has always loved her daughter the most.

The heartache is different from the one applied to oneself.

What is different is that, perhaps, there won’t always be a layer of politeness between us.

Because of this, Lin Ji didn't realize there was something between them when he replied.

"Don't worry, mother. My sister is fine."

Ruan raised her lips when she heard that, a smile appeared between her no longer young eyebrows and she nodded slightly, which was enough to satisfy his imagination of a loving mother.

As for the matter of the household servants, Lin Ji decided to ask his "strict father" to step in.

Unexpectedly, after dinner, Lin Jianchang took the initiative to say, "Aji, come to my study."

After closing the door, the middle-aged man had a gloomy look on his face. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he couldn't hide the sadness between his brows.

Nowadays, the relationship in this family is a little delicate.

In terms of kinship, Lin Jianchang is the father; in terms of achievements, Lin Ji is the official.

But now that the door was closed today, Lin Ji knew that he wanted to face her as a "father" at this moment.

"Aji, what do you think of your sister?"

Lin Ji was puzzled and answered carefully: "He is a bit spoiled, but his nature is not bad."

Today's adoptive father was particularly strange. After listening to me, he stopped talking and walked around me slowly, one step at a time.

"What if she is not my daughter?"

Even though he couldn't show his emotions, there was a hint of surprise in Lin Ji's eyes.

……

"this is for you."

In the small courtyard, under the window, the girl handed the ointment in through the window.

After the big hand took it, she handed over another one: "And this."

There was a series of "ling ling lang lang" sounds, and everyone knew what it was without having to say anything.

This time he took it very quickly and stuffed something into her hand.

Lin Yu took his hand back and saw that it was a note.

Mingyuan wrote: [He likes you]

"Who?" Seeing that she was confused, she looked up and asked again.

There were still traces of blood on the boy's handsome face. There was no pen beside him. He just put his hands on his head like a crown, which looked like a black gauze hat with two wings.

Lin Yu understood, "Are you talking about Lin Ji?"

Mingyuan lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

But the girl under the window sneered: "How could you think of such a thing?"

Her beautiful eyes contained too much helplessness, "I'm not bragging, from childhood to adulthood, there are many people who like me. How can I not know what it feels like to like someone?"

"He disciplined me like that today because he lost face in front of me two days ago and wanted to find a chance to get it back."

She thought about it for a long time on the way back to Yaoguang Courtyard. She always pampered Lin Ji in the past, but now that she stopped serving him, the man's pitiful self-esteem would probably play tricks on her.

That's why he keeps causing trouble for me again and again.

Just wait until tomorrow.

She didn't believe it, and Mingyuan was also very distressed.

The man's intuition told him that Lin Ji had some secret feelings for this sister who was not related to him by blood.

Maybe he is not "good" to people, but he definitely cares enough.

"Okay, stop thinking about it."

He was too tall, and Lin Yu had to raise her hand and wave it in front of his eyes to draw his gaze down again.

"Zhu Lian just told me that there was a restaurant on the hillside of Yunwu Peak, more than 20 miles away, where people used to buy snake meat."

"I will send someone to the mountain to investigate in a few days. If there is a Gu doctor settled there, I will go and get medicine for you personally."

Mingyuan did not refuse as he did the first time, but nodded gently.

"Then..." Then the girl's voice softened, "If your throat is healed, have you ever thought about leaving here?"

"For example, take care of the family shop..."

Before he could finish his words, the person in the room suddenly grabbed the windowsill.

Half of his body leaned out hastily, his breathing became rapid, and his handsome eyebrows were wrinkled.

But no matter how anxious he was, he was eerily quiet.

He could only shake his head continuously, and took out the bell he had just taken back, gesticulating with his arms in panic.

Lin Yu couldn't understand what he was gesturing, but she knew from this reaction that he must be unwilling.

"Okay, okay," she hastily comforted him, "I didn't say I had to send you away. I just wanted to ask what you think."

The person in front of her was unable to calm down for a moment. He just listened to some of what she said, put down his arms, and shook his head at her seriously.

"Really?" Lin Yu asked seriously, "Actually, if you are willing to go, it will be better than staying with me. At least it will be a future for you."

Staying by his side would not only mean no future, but might even threaten his life.

She analyzed the pros and cons for him, hoping that he would not be ashamed to leave, but no matter what she said, Mingyuan just shook his head stubbornly.

"Okay, then I understand."

Seeing her give up, Mingyuan loosened his grip on the windowsill.

It was still summer, and I was so anxious just now that sweat oozed from my forehead.

When Lin Yu saw him like this, and remembered that he was willing to die with her, she naturally thought of something.

"You're still talking about Lin Ji, I'm looking at you..."

That's why you like me.

The second half of the sentence was not finished.

The rain stopped in the silent courtyard, and the occasional chirping of cicadas stirred people's hearts.

Mingyuan's flushed face had not yet calmed down. When he understood what she meant, he felt a burning sensation rising from his neck to his cheeks.

He blinked a little panickily, put his hands together and put them on one side of his face, then closed his eyes as if trying to cover up his own mistakes.

Lin Yu understood this time, "Are you going to sleep?"
