Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

Xie Lin pressed his arm against her chest and covered her mouth with one hand.

A shimmering light appeared in Hawthorne's seemingly expressive eyes, until tears slid down into Xie Lin's hand...

Xie Lin softened, and his tone became much gentler.

"...I'm not trying to scare you, but whether you did it willingly or not, you've already gotten yourself into this mess. If you want to get out, you'll have to be smarter."

Blindly enduring and begging for mercy is useless. If you want to save your life, it is the hardest thing to do if you are in someone else's hands. Only by taking your own destiny into your own hands and having the ability to stand up to others can you have a chance to survive.

Hawthorne lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded again, forcing back his tears.

She was afraid of Xie Lin now, and wanted to push him away, but was also afraid of angering him, so she hesitated.

Xie Lin also saw through her thoughts, and withdrew his arm from hers, looking to the side awkwardly.

He secretly wiped away the tears that stained his hands.

Hawthorne stood in the distance, looking both disheveled and aggrieved. She wiped away her tears and composed herself.

She looked at Xie Lin again, and although she wasn't entirely sure, she felt that Xie Lin wouldn't harm her now...

She quietly reached out and tugged at Xie Lin's sleeve, drawing his attention and making him turn around.

She asked timidly, "Did you agree to protect me because... you suspected I might be your sister?"

younger sister?

When Xie Lin heard those two words from Huo Sanghua, he was completely stunned. He stopped adjusting his cuffs. "You suspect you're my sister?"

Hawthorne nodded.

Since Xie Lin suspects he is General Huo's son.

So, as the orphan of the Huo family, Huo Sanghua naturally...

Xie Lin came to his senses and stared at Huo Sanghua in disbelief. Huo Sanghua blinked her tearful eyes, eagerly awaiting his answer.

She couldn't think of any other explanation.

She married Xie Lin's second son by mistake, believing she had escaped the fate that led to her death in her previous life. Little did she know she would end up next to the very "culprit" who had caused her death in her past life, witnessing Xie Lin's elaborate scheme...

If Xie Lin didn't suspect that she was his own sister, why would he help her time and time again?

Hawthorne thought he had solved the mystery.

This confused Xie Lin... "No, who told you... that I suspect you are... that you are my sister? Never mind. I can't explain it to you now, but you'll understand later. You just need to remember that protecting you might just be my destiny."

Fate?

So, Xie Lin's repeated help to her wasn't just because of their shared family background as members of the Huo family?

Huo Sanghua was already unsure, but after hearing Xie Lin's answer, her heart skipped a beat... If Xie Lin really treated her like a younger sister and was protecting her, then at least she had found a powerful backer, and it wouldn't be so easy for her to die if she stayed by Xie Lin's side in the future.

It's not that...

No! It can't be otherwise!

Huo Sanghua lowered her head and thought it over and over. Despite her fear, she still felt that it was more important to settle their "status" first. She had to get Xie Lin to acknowledge that they were "brother and sister." Otherwise, how could she guarantee that he would spare her life if she were to be with this guy whose background she couldn't figure out every day?

As soon as Xie Lin finished speaking, Huo Sanghua's tears fell again, "... ...you are my brother, that's why you couldn't bear to see me being harmed."

Xie Lin explained for a long time, but she still mistook him for her brother, which left him completely bewildered.

However, it's not convenient to explain the details face-to-face right now...

Dilemma.

"I really didn't... I just, you and I are... well..." Seeing her tears, Xie Lin felt incredibly guilty... Helplessly, he swallowed all his explanations. "Never mind, never mind, don't cry. Whatever you say is fine."

It might be better to agree first and then find an opportunity to explain later.

He needed to make it clear to her that they weren't siblings. Although he suspected he was General Huo's son, Huo Sanghua wasn't...

Telling her these things now will only upset her more. It's better to find a quiet time to explain things to her clearly.

Xie Lin relented, and Huo Sanghua breathed a sigh of relief... ...finally, she managed to latch onto a powerful figure!

Judging from Xie Lin's reaction just now, there may still be some unresolved questions about their backgrounds. It's true that Xie Lin suspects his relationship with the Huo family, but he also seems to know something about the relationship between the Huo family and her.

Huo Sanghua dared not think too much. All the changes around her seemed to be aimed at her. If it were revealed at this time that she had no connection with the Huo family, she really didn't know what would happen.

Her only hope was to leave this place a year from now, and have nothing to do with the Xie family or the palace anymore.

A person finds a place to quietly spend the rest of their life.

Will suffice!

"Let's leave here first." Xie Lin couldn't reason with her, so he could only leave first and then make further plans.

Huo Sanghua nodded blankly, her mind filled with thoughts of how to completely sever ties with all of this. Just as Xie Lin had said, whether she wanted to or not, she was already caught up in it all.

It will definitely be harder to extricate yourself now than before.

Besides, even if it wasn't her intention, she inadvertently learned many of Xie Lin's secrets. If she wanted to leave Xie Lin unscathed a year later...

We absolutely cannot afford to fall out with Xie Lin now.

She decided to cling to Xie Lin for the next year, pretending to be deaf, blind, and stupid no matter what he did... to dispel Xie Lin's suspicions, save her life, and then find an opportunity to leave after a year.

"what--"

Perhaps she was thinking too much along the way, and as she followed Xie Lin forward, she neglected the ground beneath her feet.

I slipped and fell into the flower bed, almost tumbling over...

Xie Lin initially only stared at his surroundings, but suddenly heard a scream behind him and instinctively turned around...

Then Hawthorne pounced on him.

Suddenly, my heartbeat seemed to lose its rhythm, and I froze, not daring to breathe.

Hawthorne regained consciousness and, realizing she hadn't fallen to the ground, hurriedly pulled away from Xie Lin's embrace, realizing what had just happened... "I'm so sorry... I... I just accidentally tripped..."

She pretended to pat Xie Lin's chest, as if afraid she would get him dirty.

It took Xie Lin a long time to calm down. His mind was blank, and he still couldn't get over the accident that had just happened.

"... ...fine."

Hawthorne knew he had "caused trouble" and was angry at himself for being so useless, managing to make a mess of such a small matter.

She looked down at her toes, constantly flipping her skirt to hide her embarrassment.

A hand was stretched out in front of me.

She looked up at Xie Lin, puzzled.

Xie Lin grabbed her hand and continued to pull her forward without saying a word, "I'd better hold your hand, who knows if you'll trip and fall again."

That gentle tone made Hawthorne blush.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of familiarity. As Xie Lin pulled her hand and led her forward, she felt as if she had seen this scene before.

They used to...

Have you seen it?
