Chapter 93 Flirting in front of the rival
Song Zijin pursed her lips. "As a doctor, it's fine for me not to drink. It's fine for you to drink. But why do you drink so much?"
"The Dali Temple is investigating the Xiao Jin case strictly." He lowered his eyes when he heard this.
Xiao Linyuan mentioned this to her, but she didn't want to hear too much about Xiao Jin and didn't ask about the progress of the case.
"Don't worry, your father's case is settled. It's my father who's being investigated now."
"Your father?" Song Zijin was stunned.
"Yeah. I originally thought he just took refuge with Xiao Jin, but I didn't expect him to help Xiao Jin do so many evil things..."
Song Zijin didn't like Wen Kaiqing to begin with, so he didn't have much feeling towards him. However, this matter would inevitably affect Wen Yan. "Will it have any impact on your career?"
Wen Yan didn't answer.
It's not just an impact, but also the framing of several loyal people. I'm afraid the entire Wen family will have no chance of survival.
He didn't have the energy to answer, so he fell on the small table, staring blankly at Song Zijin. He had never felt that the distance between them could be so far.
"Zijin, if I lost everything, would you still be my friend?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a good official and will definitely stay in the court to do great things. Besides, when our Song family was exiled, you never looked down on me and even worked hard to redress my father's injustice. You are not only my friend, but also my family. We will never be strangers."
Wen Yan laughed, and then started crying while laughing.
He missed such a good girl.
Not being able to express his love to her once was the thing he regretted most in his life.
Tossing and turning at night only adds to the regret.
He pulled a box from his sleeve.
"This is the birthday present I prepared for you, and I wanted to give it to you today."
Song Zijin did not refuse. In the past, they had never strictly followed the time when sending birthday gifts to each other. They would just give them as soon as they were ready.
When she opened it, she saw a jade gourd pendant with a gold border, which looked very expensive.
"Why did you buy such an expensive thing?"
"You've been missing for three years. If you give me three river lanterns, I'll give you one more expensive one."
Song Zijin nodded. There was nothing wrong with that. She could just give him a more expensive one next year.
"Put it on and let me see it." Wen Yan begged.
Seeing that he was drunk, Song Zijin didn't refuse. She lowered her head and hung the small gourd. "How is it? Does it look good?"
Wen Yan nodded, "Zi Jin is the most beautiful girl in the world. I wish you good fortune, happiness and good health in the future."
Song Zijin immediately thought of Xiao Linyuan in her mind. She hoped that this wish could come true.
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with the man named Xiao Linyuan, and Wen Yan only felt pain in her heart.
He closed his eyes and asked, "Zijin, do you remember that time when you took me to climb a tree and steal the gourds from the branches of the Sun family's tree?"
How could Song Zijin forget this?
She jumped up like a monkey, but Wen Yan was used to being gentle and polite, so she hesitated.
When he was halfway up, he was seen by the Sun family's housekeeper and was so scared that he fell down. It was she who carried him home!
"How dare you bring that up? When you get married in the future, don't say this in front of her. She'll be disgusted."
Wen Yan's brows tightened, "You dislike me because of that?"
"How could that be? You are well-educated, gentle, handsome, and have an extraordinary temperament. You are the dream lover of many girls in Beijing. Falling from the tree is just a very, very, very insignificant black spot in your life. I promise not to tell anyone!"
"Really?" Wen Yan opened his eyes, a bright light reflected in his pupils.
"Do you really think I'm that..."
Before he could finish his question, the door of the clinic was opened.
Seeing the person coming, Song Zijin flew over like a little butterfly and threw herself into his arms.
"Why are you here?"
"Since you haven't come back for a long time, I came to pick you up." Xiao Linyuan rubbed her face lovingly.
Song Zijin said in a delicate voice, "The clinic is crowded today, and we just finished our work."
"Oh?" Xiao Linyuan looked up at Wen Yan and said meaningfully, "So Doctor Song's scope of practice also includes sobering up drunkards?"
Wen Yan felt weak and tired all over, so he simply let himself lie down on the small table and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Xiao Linyuan snorted lightly, took Song Zijin's hand and walked to the table to sit down, "Are you shocked?"
Wen Yan closed his eyes and said nothing.
Why does this person always jump out at critical moments and shatter his few fantasies?
"Have you just realized how treacherous the officialdom is? Just because your father aided and abetted the evil, you can't stand it?"
Song Zijin pinched Xiao Linyuan's palm and winked at him, signaling him not to be so serious.
However, Xiao Linyuan rarely gave him face.
A twenty-year-old man who gets drunk because of such a small blow, what kind of responsibility can he bear in the future? How can he become the prime minister?
He is very disappointed with his classmates.
In history, there were prime ministers who were in their teens. Some of them were able to debate with scholars at such a young age. However, Wen Yan was twenty years old, but he only dared to hide in the women's room to show his weakness.
"If our child becomes devastated in the future, will Doctor Song still protect him like this?" His tone was slightly sour.
"Brother Lingzhi is so unreasonable!" Song Zijin took back the hand he was holding and poked him in the chest.
"It's written in the books of sages that loving mothers often spoil their children. My parents doted on me for eighteen years, but they didn't raise a spoiled child."
Xiao Linyuan just felt itchy in his heart, so he grabbed her slender wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Song Jiayu Jiaojiao is naturally very good, but if she were an ordinary child..."
Before he could finish, Song Zijin frowned and interrupted him: "Your Highness, are you saying that I can't teach my own child well?"
Your own child?
These few words made Xiao Linyuan's heart beat fast and his eyes shine. He had not yet thought about what kind of child they would have.
He held her back and chuckled, "Is your kitten furious? I'm afraid you'll be soft-hearted and push your luck. For example, right now, with Lord Wen lying drunk here, aren't you too soft-hearted?"
"Then Your Highness is willing to be a strict father? If the child can't recite the military strategy in the future, will you be willing to hit him on the palm with a ruler?"
"Why wait until the future?" Xiao Linyuan suddenly lifted her right hand and pecked her palm with his lips. "I wonder if Doctor Song took the medicine well today. If not, then..."
"Xiao Linyuan!" She blushed and tried to pull her hand away, but he held her fingers.
"I have changed my mind." He suddenly became serious and rubbed the wound on her wrist with his thumb.
"If I really had a daughter like you, I'd probably spoil her even more than you do—I'd rather pick the stars than the moon, and I'd rather have rouge than powder."
At first, Wen Yanmian could still watch the two of them with an expressionless face, as they seemed to be arguing, but were actually flirting.
He suspected that Xiao Linyuan did it on purpose.
Noticing his gaze, Xiao Linyuan turned to look at him, but he was still speaking ambiguous words to Song Zijin: "However, the saying of a kind mother and a strict father still needs to be tested by Doctor Song himself..."
"Can you guys flirt behind my back?"
Wen Yan's eyes finally turned red, and he stared at Xiao Linyuan viciously like a bullied little beast, as if he wanted to stare a hole in him.
