Chapter 79: Men only affect my ability to make money
Liang Jingyao mustered up his courage and expressed his feelings once again, "Lin Xiaoyue, I don't want to call you Master Lin anymore. I think I've fallen in love with you. I want to be with you and make you the most noble woman in the world. Are you willing?"
Lin Xiaoyue was startled by the sudden confession. Had she heard correctly? Would Brother Liang like her? When did this happen? But if Brother Liang knew I was an exiled concubine, would he still insist on liking her?
If other people knew his identity in the future, would Brother Liang be unable to bear the stares of others and give up halfway?
For a moment, Lin Xiaoyue thought a lot, and finally she refused: "I'm sorry, Brother Liang, I don't want to!"
Liang Jingyao felt that this was the second setback he had suffered in his life. The first was when he was driven out of the capital by Emperor Liang, and the second was now, when his confession failed!
He was unwilling to give up. He wanted to hold Lin Xiaoyue's hand but was afraid that she would be angry. In the end, he stretched out his hand but retracted it in mid-air. "Why?"
Lin Xiaoyue didn't look at Liang Jingyao's disappointed eyes. She lowered her head and said, "Brother Liang has great ambitions, but I really enjoy my current life. I work hard to make money and live freely without any constraints."
Liang Jingyao has always known that Lin Xiaoyue is different from other women. He nodded and said, "I understand. I will give you the life you want. Even if you want Jueweilou, I will give it to you without hesitation, as long as you stay by my side."
Lin Xiaoyue is interested in Jueweilou, but once she takes Jueweilou, won’t she be tied to Liang Jingyao?
Men will only affect the speed at which she makes money!
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "Let's talk about the future when you can do it! Brother Liang, we've only known each other for a few days. Although there are many stories of love at first sight in the world, I can't promise you right away."
Although Liang Jingyao was a little disappointed, Lin Xiaoyue did not stop him from talking. He felt that he still had hope, and he would not let others snatch Lin Xiaoyue's opportunity away!
"Well, I will give you time. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you!"
What Lin Xiaoyue admires most about Liang Jingyao is that he is always a modest gentleman. Talking and doing things with him always makes people feel comfortable!
"Thank you, Brother Liang! But in front of outsiders, I still hope you can call me Mu Yao."
Liang Jingyao asked curiously: "Of course you can, but can you tell me why?"
How could Lin Xiaoyue tell the truth?
She smiled mysteriously, "Didn't I say I was sold to a wealthy family as a concubine? I don't want to be recognized anymore, so it's better to change my name."
Liang Jingyao knew that Lin Xiaoyue had said before that he felt extremely distressed when he thought about what Lin Xiaoyue had experienced. He would never let Lin Xiaoyue live such a wronged life again!
"I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story again. From now on, I'll call you Muyao in front of others, and Yue'er when we're alone. Is that okay?"
Lin Xiaoyue has been a straight woman for so many years, and this was the first time she heard someone call her like that. She felt the hairs on her body stand up!
If this had happened in the past, she would have definitely raised her fist and told him to talk and straighten his tongue, but Liang Jingyao's expectant gaze was too ardent, his voice too gentle, and his tall, handsome, yet pitiful appearance made her agree, "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiaoyue began to regret it. Was she crazy? Liang Jingyao looked at Qingfeng Mingyue, a modest gentleman, and actually pretended to be pitiful. Who could bear this strong contrast?
Lin Xiaoyue immediately turned her back and said angrily, "It's too late. I'm going back to my room to rest!"
Liang Jingyao leaned close to her ear and said gently, "I can't wait for tomorrow to come so that I can see you again. Good night, Yue'er!"
The warm breath fell on Lin Xiaoyue's ears, and Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but shudder. Oh my God, Brother Liang actually wanted to use the beauty trick! Or a handsome man with a strong body, a handsome face, and deep eyes. If this goes on, how many days can she hold on?
She glared and took a step back, "Brother Liang, you are breaking the rules! Before I agree to you, you must stay three steps away from me. I am a principled person!"
In the moonlight, Liang Jingyao saw that Lin Xiaoyue's face was red all the way to her ears, like a cooked apple, very cute! So he chuckled and patted Lin Xiaoyue's head, taking three steps back, "Yue'er, is this okay?"
Lin Xiaoyue snorted, turned around and ran back to her room.
Seeing Lin Xiaoyue running away in panic, Liang Jingyao became more determined in his thoughts. Yue'er must be too shy to agree to him!
It was almost noon the next day when Lin Xiaoyue reluctantly sat up from the bed. It was not that she didn't want to get up early, but too many things happened yesterday, especially Liang Jingyao's passionate confession at night, which made her think about all kinds of things all night. She tossed and turned and didn't know when she fell asleep.
The maid heard Lin Xiaoyue getting up in the compartment, knocked on the door gently, and asked, "Miss, are you awake?"
Lin Xiaoyue responded from inside the room: "Yes, please get me a basin of water to wash my face!"
The maid held up two new sets of clothes and said, "Young lady, the princess has prepared some clothes for you. I will help you change the dressing first, and then change your clothes."
Lin Xiaoyue touched the gauze on her back. It had been tossing and turning last night, and the gauze had shifted a little. She nodded and said, "Okay, come in!"
When the maid came in, she first took off the gauze on Lin Xiaoyue's body, and after applying the medicine, she wrapped it again with new gauze. "Miss, I have changed the medicine for you. Which of these two dresses do you like?"
Lin Xiaoyue sat up from the bed and looked at the two dresses back and forth. One was a long white dress embroidered with lotus flowers and lotus petals. It had no waist treatment and looked ethereal. The other was a pink high-waisted long dress with snowflakes embroidered on the hem. It not only showed off her figure but also made her look playful and cute.
"Let's go with this Lotus one! I have a back injury, and a high-waisted maxi skirt would be too tight and uncomfortable to wear."
"Yes!" The maid put the pink long skirt aside and took the white long skirt to help Lin Xiaoyue put on her clothes.
Lin Xiaoyue estimated that the last time someone helped her put on clothes like this was probably when she had just come out of her mother's womb. She had always been used to dressing herself, and suddenly she had to stretch out her arms and wait for someone to dress her. She really wasn't used to it!
After waiting for a long time for the maid to help her put on her clothes, Lin Xiaoyue was about to wash her face, but another maid came up to her with a towel, a basin of water and a swollen willow branch.
Lin Xiaoyue hesitated while holding the willow branch. It turned out that the legend that ancient people used willow branches to brush their teeth was true, but she couldn't wash her face in front of the maid!
If the makeup on her face is washed off, won't she be exposed? How can I get rid of these two maids?
