Rebirth of the Prime Minister's Daughter: Not to be Trifled With

After Liu Wentao finished speaking, he looked at Lu Linglong and felt a slight sense of relief. Lu Linglong was stunned. It seemed that Brother Wentao was unwilling to take responsibility for her and didn't want to marry her.

Lu Linglong couldn't help but think to herself, "No, no, Su Yun Chu is not good enough, and no other woman is good enough either. Brother Wen Tao can only be mine, Lu Linglong's."

Then, she looked at Liu Wentao and asked sadly, "Brother Wentao, why did you treat Linglong like this? What did I do wrong?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Lu Linglong and shook his head slightly. "Linglong, of course you didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I'm unwilling to deceive myself anymore; I really don't have any feelings for you!"

After hearing this, Lu Linglong looked at Liu Wentao and said softly, "Brother Wentao, feelings can be cultivated. I believe we will definitely be happy."

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Lu Linglong and thought to himself, "Feelings can be cultivated, but deceiving him is absolutely intolerable."

He looked at Lu Linglong and shook his head slightly. He said softly, "Linglong, I'm sorry! I, Liu Wentao, am not worth this. You will find your own happiness!"

After Liu Wentao finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Linglong briefly before leaving. Once Liu Wentao was gone, Lu Linglong left his residence, looking utterly dejected.

She slowly walked home, and Xing'er quietly followed not far behind her, not daring to get too close.

A short while later, Lu Linglong and Xing'er returned to their residence. Lu Linglong locked herself in her room, not allowing anyone to enter, not even Xing'er, whom she trusted most.

At this moment, in Lu Linglong's room, she threw herself onto the bed and cried uncontrollably. She didn't understand why things had turned out this way. Could it be that Liu Wentao had changed his mind?

She didn't know how to face this outcome. Meanwhile, back at Liu Wentao's residence, Liu Wentao was also feeling terrible, knowing that he might have deeply hurt Lu Linglong.

However, he really couldn't tolerate Lu Linglong's deception, and he truly didn't have those feelings for Lu Linglong. He didn't want to continue like this, as it would only cause them both more pain.

Suddenly, Liu Wentao remembered the person named Shen Yuqing. Then, he shook his head slightly. Wasn't that person a man? How could he be thinking of a man?

A few days later, Shen Yuqing came to Liu Wentao's residence to express her gratitude. Shen Tianyi accompanied her.

"Brother Liu, thank you! I've found my brother!" Shen Yuqing said softly. "My brother and I came here today specifically to thank you!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Shen Yuqing, then at Shen Tianyi, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shen, General Shen, you two don't need to be so polite!"

"It's only right. If anyone else asked me for help, I would do my best to help if it was within my ability!"

After hearing this, Shen Yuqing glanced at Liu Wentao but said nothing. Shen Tianyi, however, burst into laughter, completely disregarding his image. "Oh my, that's hilarious!"

Shen Yuqing glanced at Shen Tianyi and said sternly, "Brother, is it that funny? Be careful not to laugh your stomach hurt."

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Shen Tianyi with a puzzled expression, then at Shen Yuqing with the same confusion. "Young General Shen, what did I say that's so funny?"

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi looked at Liu Wentao and nodded slightly. "Young Master Liu, that is indeed quite funny! Didn't you say that Yuqing is Brother Shen? She's a girl, didn't you realize that at all?"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Shen Yuqing awkwardly. Upon closer inspection, she was indeed a girl; it was his fault for not making a closer look.

He suddenly remembered when he took in Shen Yuqing. Since there was only one bed, he suggested that he sleep in the same bed as her, but she flatly refused.

At that time, her excited expression and the fact that her name was one that a girl would use should have told him that she was a girl.

Then, he looked at Shen Yuqing and said apologetically, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry! It was my fault, Liu Wentao, who failed to see that you are actually a young woman."

After hearing this, Shen Yuqing looked at Liu Wentao and shook her head slightly. "Young Master Liu, I deliberately dressed myself up as a man. It's not your fault!"

Shen Yuqing and her brother Shen Tianyi chatted with Liu Wentao for a while before saying goodbye and returning home.

On the way back, Shen Tianyi looked at Shen Yuqing and said in a low voice, "Little sister, I think you and Young Master Liu are quite suitable for each other. Why don't you think about it?"

After hearing this, Shen Yuqing looked at Shen Tianyi a little embarrassedly and said anxiously, "Brother, what are you saying? Young Master Liu is so outstanding, how can I be worthy of him? Besides, I have no plans to get married right now!"

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi gently patted Shen Yuqing's head and said in a low voice, "My silly sister, how could you not be good enough for Young Master Liu? You two can try to get to know each other and cultivate your feelings for each other."

After hearing this, Shen Yuqing looked at Shen Tianyi, shook her head slightly, and blushed. "Brother, this won't do. You shouldn't make jokes like this in the future!"

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi looked at Shen Yuqing seriously and said, "Little sister, I'm not joking with you! Young Master Liu is a good person and comes from a good family. I think he's a perfect match for you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing quickened her pace. "Oh dear, brother, if you keep saying that, I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"

After hearing this, Shen Tianyi looked at Shen Tianyi and didn't say anything more. "Alright, but I still hope you can think it over carefully, after all, you're not getting any younger."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing's mind was in turmoil. She admitted that Liu Wentao was indeed an outstanding man, and she did have some feelings for him.

But right now, all she wants to do is cure her father's leg; she hasn't thought about anything else.

Moreover, she doesn't know Liu Wentao very well yet, and she doesn't dare to ruin her life on someone she's only just met.

Besides, Liu Wentao has someone else in his heart; he even bought jewelry for that person. She doesn't want the person she likes to have someone else in his heart, so she'd rather not have it than wrong herself.

A short while later, Shen Yuqing returned to her room. She lay quietly on the bed, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep, the scene of her first meeting with Liu Wentao constantly replaying in her mind.

So, Shen Yuqing picked up a book and started reading, but she was a little absent-minded and didn't even notice that she was holding the book upside down.
