"Aunt! I know you are doing this for my own good! But... I don't want you to hurt Sister Qiu Ning for my sake! Sister Qiu Ning... is quite pitiful." Lin Yuehong said.

Although Jiang Qiuning is Jiang He's biological daughter, she has suffered a lot since childhood. She finally escaped from that den of wolves and met them.

He didn't want Jiang Qiuning to think that their kindness to her had an ulterior motive.

He didn't want his aunt to force Jiang Qiuning to marry him just because she raised her.

Jiang Qiuning doesn't belong to anyone, and it's up to her to choose who she will marry in the future.

He would never force Jiang Qiuning to marry him.

Liu Qin: ...

What was Lin Yuehong thinking? How could she hurt Jiang Qiuning?

She just wanted the two children to consider each other and to act as a bridge between them.

Whether they succeed in the end depends on them.

There was no way she was going to force them!

"Hong'er! You're overthinking it! I'm just trying to persuade you! I'm not trying to force Qiu Ning! I'm just trying to persuade you to seize the opportunity! Be nice to Qiu Ning! Could it be that you want to watch Qiu Ning marry another man?

"Are you sure you want her to marry another man? If she marries the wrong man, won't she suffer for the rest of her life?" Liu Qin analyzed.

She just advised Lin Yuehong to seize the opportunity, but she never thought of forcing Jiang Qiuning to marry Lin Yuehong.

Is she the kind of person who forces others to do things against their will?

Hearing this, Lin Yuehong understood what Liu Qin meant.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little guilty.

He actually suspected that his aunt would hurt Jiang Qiuning for him.

How could my aunt be such a person?

If she wanted to harm Jiang Qiuning, she would not have helped Jiang Qiuning to fight for the opportunity to leave the Jiang family.

"Aunt! I understand your good intentions. I...I will seize the opportunity." Lin Yuehong promised.

He would be twice as good to Jiang Qiuning! But how he treated Jiang Qiuning well was entirely his own business. He couldn't influence whether Jiang Qiuning was willing to accept him or not.

He will not interfere with any of Jiang Qiuning's choices!

Liu Qin smiled with satisfaction: "Keep going! Auntie is waiting to see you succeed!"

Lin Yuehong smiled helplessly. Does his aunt really hope that he can marry Jiang Qiuning?

He can only do his best!

Do your best and leave the rest to fate! When it comes to love, you can’t force it.

"Aunt, I can only try my best. As for whether I can succeed, I can't guarantee it." Lin Yuehong explained.

Liu Qin nodded. "Okay! Whether you succeed or not, I will support you! Enjoy your meal. I won't disturb you anymore."

After Liu Qin finished speaking, she went to tell Jiang Qiuning and Lin Yuerou that Lin Yuehong had returned home.

Not long after, Jiang Qiuning and Lin Yuerou came to see Lin Yuehong.

"Brother!" Lin Yuerou ran to Lin Yuehong excitedly.

Lin Yuehong smiled widely. He rubbed Lin Yuerou's head and said, "Rou'er has grown a lot taller! Have you been eating well recently? Have you been listening to Sister Qiu Ning?"

Lin Yuerou nodded vigorously: "Yes! Big brother! Rou'er has always listened to Sister Qiu Ning!"

Her eldest brother told her to listen to Sister Qiu Ning, and she always remembered it.

And she also likes Sister Qiu Ning! Sister Qiu Ning doesn't mind her clumsiness and is willing to teach her how to read, play the piano and paint.

She likes Sister Qiu Ning very much!

"Rou'er is so good! Are you hungry, Rou'er? Do you want to eat something together?" Lin Yuehong asked Lin Yuerou to sit down and eat with him.

Although Lin Yuerou had already eaten lunch, she was still greedy and sat down to eat with them.

Jiang Qiuning watched the interaction between the brother and sister, so she had no choice but to stand aside and look at them with a smile on her face.

Lin Yuehong looked at Jiang Qiuning, "Sister Qiuning, please sit down too! Sister Qiuning, you have been taking care of Rouer all the time. Thank you for your hard work."

He often went to the palace to accompany His Majesty in studying literature and martial arts, and did not have much time to accompany Lin Yuerou.

Jiang Qiuning has always been with Lin Yuerou, helping him take care of her.

He didn't know how to repay Jiang Qiuning for this kindness.

The two of them get along so well, maybe what my aunt said is right, marrying Jiang Qiuning is indeed the best choice for him.

But...will Jiang Qiuning be willing to marry him?

He doesn't know!

Moreover, it is too early to talk about marriage at this time, and he doesn't want Jiang Qiuning to consider these things too early.

"Brother Hong! You are being too formal! I am happy to take care of Rouer! What's more, Rouer is well-behaved and obedient, so I don't need to worry about her!" Jiang Qiuning explained.

Lin Yuerou is very obedient. She will follow her in whatever she does.

She was just taking care of Lin Yuerou, and there was nothing special that required her to worry about.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you, Sister Qiu Ning!" Lin Yuehong insisted on thanking you.

Jiang Qiuning curled her lips. She was too lazy to argue with Lin Yuehong.

Lin Yuehong took out two jade pendants from her bosom and said, "Sister Qiu Ning, these are the jade pendants I asked for for you at Ganlong Temple. Please wear them."

He asked for two jade pendants in total, one for Lin Yuerou and one for Jiang Qiuning.

Jiang Qiuning was a little flattered. It was normal for Lin Yuehong to give the jade pendant to his own sister, but she...she was not Lin Yuehong's biological sister, so why did he give her the jade pendant?

"Brother Hong, why...why did you give me the jade pendant? No merit, no reward. I...I can't accept it." Jiang Qiuning felt embarrassed and refused to accept the jade pendant.

Lin Yuehong: ...

What do you mean by "no reward without merit"? Jiang Qiuning certainly deserves merit!

She has been helping him take care of his sister, so what does it matter if he asks her for a jade pendant?

What's more, it's just his thoughtful gesture and is not worth much.

"Sister Qiu Ning, do you think this gift is too shabby and you don't want to accept it? Although this jade pendant is not worth much, I got it from Qianlong Temple. It is my token of my love. You...just accept it? Okay?" Lin Yuehong begged her to accept the jade pendant.

This is his thoughtful gift. Although it is not worth much, it is a token of friendship.

He still hoped that Jiang Qiuning would not mind that the gift was too small.

Since Lin Yuehong said so, Jiang Qiuning couldn't refuse. If she refused, Lin Yuehong would think that she thought his gift was too insignificant.

The gift doesn’t necessarily have to be worth a lot of money. Sometimes the thought behind it is more important than the price.

"Then I'll accept it. Thank you, Brother Hong!" Jiang Qiuning put on the jade pendant and then helped Lin Yuerou put on the jade pendant.

Seeing this, Lin Yuehong smiled with satisfaction.

"Come, let's have dinner together! After dinner, you can continue to practice the piano. I also want to listen to your success these days." Lin Yuehong said with a smile.

Jiang Qiuning felt a little helpless. She didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with these things before when she was in the Jiang Mansion. She only started to come into contact with them after coming to Kyoto.

She was able to pick up the piano relatively quickly, but she still couldn't achieve mastery of the instrument in a short period of time.

But Lin Yuehong shouldn't be disgusted! He should be able to understand their difficulties.

After figuring it out, Jiang Qiuning had no objection, but was instead a little eager to show off.
