Chapter 495: Confession
Qin Qixuan slowly turned around and faced Wen Yanya, his deep eyes flashing with unspeakable guilt.
The hustle and bustle of the wedding banquet seemed to still echo in his ears, but he could not stay, accompany her, and give her the warmth and companionship she deserved.
However, Wen Yanya did not show any dissatisfaction or complaints. She was very generous and understanding. She gently held Qin Qixuan's hand and said in a steady and powerful voice.
"My husband, your affairs are important, just go and deal with them. Don't worry, I can take good care of myself." Her words were like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in Qin Qixuan's heart.
He stared at Wen Yanya deeply, as if he wanted to carve her face into his heart. At this moment, he forgot everything around him and just wanted to hold her tightly in his arms. Ignoring Qin Shu who was standing beside him, he walked forward and hugged Wen Yanya affectionately.
Qin Shu seemed to be blind to the scene. She looked up at the sky, then down at the ground, deliberately avoiding the couple who were hugging each other affectionately. Her attitude made Wen Yanya feel a little shy. She gently hammered Qin Qixuan's chest and pretended to turn her head away.
Qin Qixuan looked at Wen Yanya's shy look, and a smile finally appeared on his tired face. He gently let her go and whispered.
"I'm leaving, mother, Yanya, you guys just wait for my news at the mansion." His voice was full of reluctance.
After saying that, Qin Qixuan turned and left.
The turmoil at the wedding banquet yesterday made the Qin family panic. No one in the family slept well all night. Everyone has a heavy stone in their heart, worrying about possible turmoil and changes in the future.
Among them, the most anxious is the second son in the family. His depression is not only due to the chaos of the wedding banquet, but also because of the entanglement between him and Lin Qingye.
Lin Qingye has been in Beijing for several days, but has always been avoiding the second son.
Although the second son has designed "chance encounters" several times in the hope of meeting her, he always failed and couldn't even see her shadow. This made the second son feel frustrated, and at the same time deepened his longing for and worry about Lin Qingye.
Right now, the second brother is about to set off for the border, and time is running out.
He knows very well that if he doesn't find an opportunity to explain everything to Lin Qingye face to face, he may never have the chance to resolve the knot between them in this life.
Qin Qixuan's wedding seems to have stimulated the second brother invisibly.
Watching his brothers get married and start a family, the second brother can't help but have more thoughts and expectations about his future. He realized that he couldn't continue to wait and delay like this.
So, after a whole night of tossing and turning and thinking carefully, the second brother finally made up his mind to take the initiative.
He decided to take advantage of the opportunity that Xiaowu and Lin Qingye had frequently discussed the emperor's illness recently, and followed Xiaowu to the inn to find Lin Qingye.
He firmly believed that as long as he followed Xiaowu, he would be able to see Lin Qingye, whom he thought about day and night, and face her to make everything clear.
The second brother couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly thanking that Xiaowu is still young, which makes it very likely that Lin Qingye will only regard him as a younger brother, rather than other complicated emotions.
Otherwise, things might become more difficult.
When Xiaowu heard about the delicate relationship between the second brother and Lin Qingye, he behaved very maturely and straightforwardly, and agreed to the second brother's request without hesitation, willing to help him meet Lin Qingye.
"Sister Qingye always seems to be a little worried recently. I was wondering why. Now it seems that it is because of you, the second brother?" Xiaowu asked bluntly.
This sentence seemed to touch a string deep in the second brother's heart, making him a little dazed.
He wondered in his heart, does Lin Qingye really still care about him?
This question has been lingering in his mind, and he could not get a definite answer.
However, Lao Er knew that no matter what the result was, he needed to talk to Lin Qingye face to face.
Only in this way could he really let go of the burden in his heart.
So, that afternoon, Lao Er followed Xiao Wu to the inn with mixed feelings.
As he expected, with the name of Xiao Wu, he could easily meet Lin Qingye, whom he had been thinking about day and night.
At this moment, his heart was full of expectation and tension, but more of a sense of relief-finally, he could talk to her face to face.
However, when Lin Qingye saw Lao Er appear at the door, the expression on her face did not fluctuate much. This calmness made Lao Er feel a little inexplicably nervous, as if her heart was as still as water, and she did not have too much expectation or resistance to his appearance.
The second brother was originally worried that he would be coldly rejected by Lin Qingye, but now it seems that her reaction is much gentler than he expected. Lin Qingye was only stunned for a moment when she first saw them, but soon returned to normal and politely invited them into the room.
Xiaowu obviously noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, and he chose to stay outside tactfully, intending to go in after they finished talking. In this way, only the second brother and Lin Qingye were left in the room, and the air was filled with an indescribable feeling.
"Why... are you hiding from me?" The second brother was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling slightly, and he was obviously very nervous.
Lin Qingye did not answer his question immediately, but asked back.
"I wonder if the question I asked the Second Young Master before has an answer now?" Her tone was calm and firm, as if she was not in a hurry to get an answer, but with a kind of determination that could not be avoided.
However, before the Second Young Master could answer, Lin Qingye seemed unwilling to hear the answer and continued to talk on her own, as if to cover up the fluctuations in her heart.
"The Second Young Master asked me why I have been hiding, but it is not the case." Lin Qingye thought to herself, and her eyes revealed a hint of depth, "I thought that if the Second Young Master had thought it through, he would take the initiative to come to me, just like today." The Second Young
Master was stunned when he heard Lin Qingye's words, and was suddenly speechless.
He had to admit that Lin Qingye was right. In the past days, he was not unaware of Lin Qingye's residence. If he had a clear answer, he could have come to the inn to find her without hesitation like he did today.
However, he was unable to act because of various concerns and hesitations.
However, Lin Qingye seemed to have misunderstood his silence. She might have thought that Lao Er had not yet thought of the answer to that question. In fact, this was not the case.
Lao Er took a deep breath and explained anxiously.
"Qingye, you misunderstood. Although I have been hesitating all these days, it is not because I haven't thought of the answer to that question. I actually already have a clear answer to that question in my heart."
