"What do you want to explain?"
Jin Suting just stared at him without saying a word. In fact, deep down, she no longer believed him. What Jin Xiyan said before was like a seed sprouting in her heart. She really understood that Helan Yinsheng was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
Helan Yinsheng continued, "I really want to be with you. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were different from other women. I haven't seen a girl like you in Funing for a long time. Later, I did use some tricks. The East and West Buildings were just a cover..."
At this point, Jin Suting's mind suddenly "boomed". Was even the East and West Buildings a cover? What else was real about Helan Yinsheng?
Helan Yinsheng paused. The usually decisive Ninth Prince lost his composure in front of his beloved girl and said everything he should and shouldn't say.
"But it has always been my wish to open a restaurant that surpasses Zuixianlou. I hoped that we could realize it together." Helan Yinsheng nervously took another sip of tea. He clearly understood that the current timing was not ripe, and Jin Suting certainly had not fallen in love with him wholeheartedly, but he could not wait any longer. Some plans had to be made in advance.
"I don't know how to make you happy. When I told you I had no sense of taste, your reaction surprised and angered me. I think that's when I fell in love with you. After that, when I was with you every day, I tried my best to control my emotions... but in the end, I gave up. I really fell in love with you."
Helan Yinsheng spoke incoherently, saying that the boy in front of her who had once made Jin Suting's heart beat fast was now someone she could avoid.
Perhaps it was prejudice that made her feel that he was so dangerous, and as for the woman just now, her intuition told her that their relationship must be complicated.
"So the prince went to great lengths to call me here today just to tell me this?" Jin Suting was very calm.
Helan Yinsheng was stunned by the question. Isn't this very important?
Helan Yinsheng thought for a moment and said, "Susu, I want to be with you."
"I'm sorry, I don't want to." Jin Suting decisively refused. "Be with you? As a concubine? Or as a tool for you to marry into the General's Mansion?"
Of course, Jin Suting didn't ask this question. After all, her coldness towards Helan Yinsheng was not only because of this reason, but also because she had never seen through this man before and she thought he was terrible.
Since I'm rejecting you, I should be clear about it, Jin Suting thought, "Your Majesty keeps saying you love me, but does he really understand me?"
Jin Suting's legs were numb, and she moved her feet. "What do I like to drink? What do I like to eat? What do I hate? What can't I accept? You don't even know my birthday, do you?"
She picked up the cold cup of green tea in front of her and continued, "I hate drinking green tea, and I also hate all illusory things. I hate intrigue and deception, and I hate the cage-like identity. Your Highness's love is too easy to say. I can't get involved in this mess of your royal family."
After she finished speaking, she put the green tea on the table. With a "bang", she stood up, but her legs made her a little unsteady.
"It's getting late, so I won't keep you company." She walked out of the private room without looking back.
Leaving Helan Yinsheng where he is, he was born to be a tool for fighting for power and profit, and he didn't know how to love. Did he scare people away?
At first, Helan Yinsheng really just wanted to win over the general's mansion, and even went to propose marriage when Jin Suting was still engaged.
Falling in love with Jin Suting later was not part of his plan.
He didn't know what had happened. Jin Suting's attitude towards him suddenly became cold and distant. Now they might not even be able to be ordinary friends.
Helan Yinsheng suddenly threw the teacup into the corner, and the jade teacup shattered completely.
There was a fierce look between his brows, completely lacking his usual gentleness.
Perhaps this is his original appearance. The aura he exudes completely matches the scar between his eyebrows.
Jin Suting almost ran out of the private room. When she reached the stairs to the second floor, she stopped and gasped for breath.
It's not that she wasn't afraid of Helan Yinsheng, but she couldn't control her emotions and became more and more excited as she spoke. She also didn't want to make the Ninth Prince, this big Buddha, angry.
Jin Suting took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the thin layer of sweat from her face.
She is not someone who falls in love easily. She cherishes the feelings of many people, but the only person she truly gives her heart to is her lover, and once she gives her heart to someone, it is a lifelong thing.
Like He Lanxiu in the past, he was someone she trusted with her true heart.
But she was like an ostrich, secretly in love with him for more than ten years, daring to skip classes with him, surf the Internet with him all night, and fight with him...
The only thing I didn't dare to confess was my feelings. We had been good friends from elementary school to college, but I never revealed a word until she was already taken. I'm pretty cowardly, right?
She is the kind of person who, after taking ninety-nine steps forward and about to succeed, will retreat a hundred steps at ten times the speed as long as the other party takes one step back.
If they are together, if one day she finds that the other person doesn't love her as much as before, she will leave without looking back. Extreme and strong-willed.
Although she had never been in love, she had imagined it.
I hope that by then, she really has the courage to stand up suddenly.
After packing up, she walked downstairs as briskly as possible.
Tan Er saw her from a distance and waved at her: "Miss! Come here quickly!"
It's coming over here, Jin Suting smiled helplessly.
Xiao Hei also saw her, "Sister, how is it? You and the mysterious man upstairs."
Jin Suting raised her eyebrows playfully, "That's it."
Then he took their arms and said, "Oh, forget it, there's a performance at the Lantern Festival. Let's go watch it!"
Xiao Hei was happy when he heard there was a performance. He had lived in the mountains for a year and had no entertainment at all.
I can’t hold it in any longer. Let’s see the show! Let’s see the show! Let’s see the show!
The three of them rushed into the busy street. The small vendors on both sides of the street had hung up small lanterns, which twinkled in the night, like colorful stars.
West Street was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances, jugglers, martial artists, and monkey trainers.
Jin Suting looked very interesting wherever she went. She put on the golden mask that covered half of her face, making her tight face look even more beautiful.
The three people each held a string of candied haws in their hands and watched the monkey show with great interest.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and a group of men in black were approaching.
It's not just about who yells "Murder!" first.
The entire West Street began to panic. In order to save their lives, the vendors ran away without even packing up their goods. Some of them loved money so much that they pulled up their stalls and ran away.
Jin Suting and Qin Er were separated by the crowd, and Xiao Hei was also missing.
On the street where everyone was running for their lives, Tan'er shouted Jin Suting's name loudly.
