Chapter 190: Revealing one's true feelings

The last few times Qin Shu met Helian Shi, he was dressed very simply, no different from ordinary cloth clothes, except that his face was more delicate.

But this time, Helian Shi dressed up to meet her. Not only did he comb his hair neatly, but he also wore a gorgeous dress. It was obvious that he took this meeting very seriously.

Helian Shi, who was dressed up, was different from the one on the battlefield. He looked a little more youthful. He

was obviously a middle-aged man in his thirties, but he looked like a teenager in his teens or twenties. Qin Shu was dazzled.

She didn't know whether it was because of "lust" or because she couldn't bear it, but she actually had a hesitant thought.

After all, Helian Shi took this meeting so seriously, but she wanted to kick him away directly, which was quite embarrassing.

However, Qin Shu was not an emotional person. Helian Shi was not suitable, so she could not drag him down. It was better to explain it early and not waste his feelings.

Helian Shi was aware of her psychological fluctuations, but he still smiled appropriately, wanting to know what Qin Shu was struggling with.

The reason for inviting Helian Shi to dinner this time was to thank him for taking care of the two children of the Qin family.

Qin Shu did not forget this matter and thanked Helian Shi right away.

"The Qin family is grateful for General Helian's care for them. Especially the second son, he has always wanted to join the army, but if General Helian hadn't valued him, he wouldn't have achieved so much so quickly. And Qixuan, it's also thanks to General Helian's words that he has the hope of promotion again!"

Helian was a little hurt when he saw Qin Shu being so polite. But he still sorted out his mood and continued to talk to Qin Shu with a smile. After all, he just started to pursue Qin Shu.

"Whatever the head of the Qin family said, it's what I should do. I am willing to do so."

Qin Shu smiled, but did not give a direct answer, but began to change the subject.

"The second son is killing enemies on the border, and I, as a mother, am also worried at home."

Qin Shu sighed, and this emotion was indeed sincere.

"The second son has always been straightforward. I sent him three letters home, and he only replied once. Except for the time when I told him that I divorced my husband, he always replied half a month later."

Helian Shi was quite interested after hearing about the divorce, and Qin Shu continued.

"It's my fault, the child. Who would have thought that he only fought a few battles and returned home without even his father."

Helian Shi couldn't help but speak for Qin Shu.

"Master Qin, this is wrong. This is not your fault. It's all because of that ungrateful man who made you sad."

Having said that, Helian Shi couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"I wonder if the head of the Qin family has ever thought about finding another lover?"

Here it comes!

Qin Shu's eyes lit up immediately. She went through so much trouble just to talk about this.

"I did plan to find another husband, but I still have some concerns. For the sake of the children and the Qin family, I can only accept the man who comes as a bride, which makes many people back off."

How could Helian Shi not understand what Qin Shu meant when he heard this?

It seems that Qin Shu wanted him to give up and stop getting close to her at this dinner.

But since Helian Shi could like Qin Shu until now and not marry her, how could he just give up like this?

Since Qin Shu said so, he couldn't hide it and not be like a real man. He immediately expressed his feelings.

"Since the head of the Qin family said so, I won't hide my feelings."

He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"But I am also a person who can't hide. I'm afraid that the head of the Qin family has seen it a long time ago, so he said this."

Helian Shi looked at Qin Shu seriously, with light in his eyes.

"Head of the Qin family, I have admired you for a long time."

Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this.

She never thought that Helian Shi would admit it directly. Is this considered a confession?

Thinking of this, Qin Shu couldn't help but blush.

She was already old, but she was still confessed to by others, and she felt a little embarrassed.

But Helian Shi was able to grasp Qin Shu's psychology and understood that she was hesitant because she felt that she could not marry into the family.

Helian Shi immediately guaranteed.

"Master Qin, don't feel pressured. I won't force you. But I can marry into the family, and my two elders also agree with me to do so."

Helian Shi's parents actually allowed him to marry into the family? Qin Shu was shocked again.

Today, General Helian gave her too many surprises and shocks, and Qin Shu was a little overwhelmed for a while.

But even if Helian Shi could marry into the family, she didn't want to drag Helian Shi into the water.

Although Qin Shu was shocked and a little hesitant, her attitude was still as firm as ever.

"I'm sorry General Helian, I really feel that General Helian is not a good match. It's not the general's problem, it's my problem."

Qin Shu sighed and said nothing more. Although Helian Shi's eyes were full of disappointment, he could understand that Qin Shu would not accept him so quickly.

"Master Qin, don't blame yourself, and don't belittle yourself. In my eyes, Master Qin is worthy of any man in the world."

Qin Shu blushed, but Helian Shi did not continue to say sweet words seriously, but took a step back to make Qin Shu less embarrassed.

"In this case, although we can't be husband and wife now, we can at least be friends."

The meal was almost finished, Helian Shi hid the regret in his heart and said to Qin Shu with a smile.

"How about I personally escort Master Qin back to the Qin Mansion?"

Qin Shu shook her head awkwardly.

"No need, it's getting late, General Helian should go back to the mansion and rest. With Qixuan and the others accompanying me, nothing will happen."

At the banquet, the two children just buried their heads in eating and dared not say anything. Helian Shi almost forgot their existence.

Since Qin Shu said so, Helian Shi did not insist.

"In that case, I will go back to the mansion first. Goodbye, Master Qin!"

Qin Shu didn't expect him to agree so easily. She originally thought that she would need to refuse before leaving.

However, Helian Shi's straightforwardness made Qin Shu very satisfied. If Helian Shi had been too entangled, Qin Shu would have felt uncomfortable.

But now he left directly and straightforwardly, which made her less embarrassed. Qin Shu also felt respected, and couldn't help but increase her favorability towards Helian Shi.

Unfortunately...

Qin Shu shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Qin

Qixuan sighed when he saw Helian Shi leave. It seemed that there was really no possibility for his mother and General Helian.

The second brother also looked gloomy, but neither of them said much. This was Qin Shu's own choice, and they were not qualified to judge.

The three of them took a carriage back to Qin's house, and as soon as they came back, they saw Xiao Xixi running towards them.
