Chapter 129: Don’t Do Things That Are Not Appropriate
Lu Wanning immediately held her forehead with her hand, her tone somewhat displeased, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The subtle malice between men is easy to detect. Qi Muchao could see at a glance the unconcealable slight jealousy in Qin Linche's eyes when he looked at him.
He likes Lu Wanning.
Compared with this man's sarcasm, it is obvious that this result is what makes Qi Muchao dissatisfied.
However, when Qi Muchao saw the sadness in Qin Linche's eyes when Lu Wanning looked towards him, he felt quite good.
He stood beside Lu Wanning and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Qin. As long as my wife is here, I won't be willing to leave her even after twenty-five years, let alone twenty-five."
Qin Linche was bored and raised his eyebrows and sat down, but he didn't argue with Qi Muchao.
To be honest, he did have opportunities at the beginning. He knew Lu Wanning before Qi Muchao, and the clinic even provided him with a way to get to know Lu Wanning.
If he had stood on Lu Wanning's side first, perhaps Qi Muchao would not have happened at all.
If anyone was to blame, it was only because he was hesitant and wavering because of his plan to return to Minxuan. He did not reveal his feelings, let alone think of getting close to her.
And now, he has even less chance. Prince Qi can accompany her to Minxuan despite his illness, and it is impossible for him to give up everything in Minxuan for Lu Wanning.
"Have you eaten the signature dish?"
"have eaten."
Qin Linche nodded and asked the waiter to bring two plates of dim sum. Finally, he said, "Did you come to Minxuan because of that pankou incident?"
Lu Wanning didn't know what the relationship between Qin Linche and King Linchang was. If King Linchang had really gone to Ming Kingdom to find him, then now that he knew the truth, he would most likely hide it from her.
So she didn't tell anyone what she had learned about King Lin Chang, but shook her head. "Not entirely. I just came here to try my luck. The main reason I came out this time was to find my master."
"Your master?" Qin Linche asked, "Doctor Luo?"
Knowing that Qi Muchao was very jealous, although he didn't say anything, he was probably very jealous in his heart, and he still needed her to coax him later.
So Lu Wanning glanced at the pastries on the table, picked out one that looked good and handed it to him.
Qi Muchao hesitated and said, "Try it and see if it's sweet. I don't like sweet things."
Don’t like sweet things?
Lu Wanning was a little skeptical, but she subconsciously took a bite. "It's okay, not too sweet."
She wanted to get him another one, but he took the cake she had taken a bite of directly from her hand, lowered his eyes, took a bite, and curled his eyes at her, "Why does it taste quite sweet to me?"
Lu Wanning: “…”
Unable to bear it any longer, she reached out and pinched him from below, gritting her teeth and saying, "Be more normal and stop doing these shameful things."
Qi Muchao said "oh" and continued to eat his pastry as if he had heard it.
Lu Wanning finally managed to reply to Qin Linche, "Have you met my master here?"
Qin Linche shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but I've heard a little about it."
He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then spoke again, "But your master should no longer be in Minxian."
Lu Wanning pretended not to know, "Why? I received a letter from Master earlier, and he said he was in Fujian."
Qin Linche didn't lie to her. "I only heard about it after I returned to Minxian. Six months ago, Prince Linchang wanted to have Dr. Luo stay in his mansion as his physician, but your master wasn't someone who could be bound by constraints, so he flatly refused."
"It's just that Prince Linchang is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. I heard that he has imprisoned your master in the Prince Linchang Palace and refuses to release him. It's said that it was Prince Su who intervened and your master was finally released."
"But King Linchang is vindictive. I suspect your master must have left Minxian as soon as he got out."
Lu Wanning's face was sullen and she looked very angry, as if she was defending her master. "How could King Linchang act this way? My master must have stayed in Minxian for quite a while and saved many people. How could King Linchang act this way and no one do anything about it?"
Qin Linche smiled bitterly, "You must have known my identity, right?"
Lu Wanning had no idea and subconsciously looked at Qi Muchao.
The man wiped the cake crumbs from his fingertips with a handkerchief and said, "It is said that when Prince Minxuan was a hostage in Ming Dynasty, he fell in love with a Ming woman and they had a child. However, when Prince Minxuan returned to China, the child was kidnapped and lost."
"The woman resented King Min-Hyung for not being able to find her child, and she left in anger, choosing to search for the child on her own."
Qin Linche was a little dazed after hearing this. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Yes, I am that child."
His smile quickly turned sarcastic, "But in Fujian, this rumor is not true."
"In Min-Hyang, I disappeared because my mother wanted to use me to force my father to stay in Ming with her. My father cared about the people of Min-Hyang, so he didn't agree. Unexpectedly, my mother took the opportunity to have me kidnapped to prevent my father from returning to Min-Hyang."
Judging from his tone and expression, it is not difficult to guess which one he believes more.
Qin Linche didn't feel anything about these rumors other than that they were absurd and ridiculous.
Whether these people were blaming everything on his mother or something else, it didn't matter to him.
Because he didn't care at all. To him, both his mother and his father were just two strangers he didn't know very well.
He had never met one of them, and although he had met the other, the little bit of family affection between them had been completely destroyed in the environment filled with the exchange of interests.
The reason why King Minxuan took him back was only because he was old and no longer had the energy to fight with those people.
He had no children to begin with, and many had died or been injured over the years. If Qin Linche had not been brought back, the position of King of Minxuan would soon fall into the hands of someone else.
Lu Wanning was very puzzled, "But didn't you say before that your mother was from Fujian?"
Qin Linche's smile was somewhat sincere this time. "That was what we told the public. The Minxian royal family had been searching for me, and many people didn't want me to return. If my identity was exposed, I might have been dead before I even left the Ming Kingdom."
"So, I lied to you."
Whether it was a lie or not was not that serious, and Lu Wanning didn't care about it.
After all, she lied to Qin Linche more.
But Qin Linche cannot compare with Lu Wanning in this regard, because no matter how many people she deceives, she never feels guilty.
