Thinking about this, he felt a pang of jealousy: Why isn't it me, the person His Majesty cares so much about? Even though I don't possess that "thing," I'm still quite capable...
"That's alright, I'll make arrangements when the time comes!"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him, then approved the resignation letter and handed it to Gao Shu, who was to pass it on to Ying Xi.
"Half a month later, Fusu will return, which coincides with the approaching wedding date of Manyin. But can that rascal be relied upon? Taishi Teng isn't a simpleton like Wang Ben; when he uses his methods, that kid might be in trouble. If he directly rejects the goodwill of Taishi Teng and his group, he probably won't have a good time in the future. Sigh, I hope he can pull through; after all, I also want to see just how high his limits are..."
The First Emperor shook his head and sighed heavily.
"Alright, alright, children and grandchildren have their own destinies. I won't interfere. I just hope you, you brat, will step up your game and not cause any trouble that will turn the city upside down before the wedding!"
......
Since the First Emperor last visited the Construction Bureau, no one else has visited for several days.
In response to this.
Li Lin took it all in stride; after all, no one came, so there were no unexpected troubles.
Aside from attending classes, he usually just brags to these craftsmen.
The craftsmen all liked him very much.
Unlike other superiors, he showed no discrimination against their status. This innate impartiality won them their natural favor.
After class that day.
Li Lin left Chengtian Prefecture after get off work and went to the new house his older brother Li Xin had bought for him in the east of the city.
I'm getting ready to do some renovations and buy some furniture.
Walking down the street, he couldn't help but daydream: "This month is almost over, and next month is about to begin. I can't wait! Hehehe, but I wonder what kind of person Princess Manyin is inside, with her gentle and kind exterior. I'll have to study her carefully then. But should I study her from the top down first, or from the bottom down...?"
Just as he was lost in his fantasies, he suddenly bumped into a slightly soft body.
Ouch! That hurts!
"Oh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Upon hearing the voice, Li Lin immediately realized it was a little girl; he had bumped into one!
Although it was an unintentional mistake, one should still maintain a gentlemanly demeanor.
"It's you! Brother Li Lin!"
That slightly surprised voice had a tingling, almost numbing quality to it.
That sound.
This looks so familiar!
Li Lin's first reaction was that he was an acquaintance, otherwise he wouldn't have recognized him so quickly.
He came to his senses and took a closer look.
Wow!
It turned out to be a fair-skinned and beautiful young woman. Beneath her arched willow-leaf eyebrows were two pearl-like, shimmering silver eyes. Under her perfectly oval face, her slightly upturned lips gleamed with a rosy sheen.
Her face flushed with a shy surprise, somewhat reminiscent of a young first love.
Add to that her delicate and charming figure, and I imagine any man would find it hard to suppress his restless inner desires, wanting to hold her in his arms and cherish her.
"Who are you?"
Li Lin was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and took a few steps back to maintain a safe distance from her. Although he was rather lecherous, he knew his limits and would never overstep them.
She would never have any improper thoughts about someone just because they are pretty.
Therefore, his first reaction was to retreat, not to advance.
"Brother Li Lin, don't you recognize me? I am Li Yao!"
"Li Yao?"
"boom!"
Countless memories roared through Li Lin's mind—it was her!
Li Yao, daughter of Li Si, later married Fusu!
She even had a childhood sweetheart relationship with him.
No way!
That's a bit melodramatic.
"Brother Li Lin, don't you remember me?"
She was somewhat sad, and a disappointed expression quickly appeared on her face. Coupled with her delicate voice, it was quite heartbreaking.
pity.
Li Lin remained expressionless.
From the very first word she uttered, he had already deduced that she was deliberately planning to lie in wait here.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary woman be so obviously a manipulative woman the moment she opens her mouth?
[Heh, Li Yao, your father and brother are both imprisoned because of me, their fates unknown. As their family, how could you possibly be in the mood for romance and reminiscing about the past? This is clearly a honey trap, a scheme to lure me in and ruin my reputation, isn't it? You know my wedding to the princess is just around the corner, so you came up with this underhanded trick? Fine! Since you want to play, I'll play along!]
Having made up his mind, Li Lin immediately put on a joyful expression, as if he were reuniting with an old friend.
"Oh my, it's Yao Yao! I was thinking about the construction company and didn't recognize you for a moment. Oh my, Yao Yao, you've become so beautiful these past few years! To be honest, if you hadn't recognized me, I probably wouldn't have believed that the fairy-like girl in front of me was you!"
