Chapter 253: My eldest cousin is gone, so you marry me
Lin Qingning said a few words and picked herself and everyone else out.
She was just sad. Her maid was only doing it for her, and Chen Sui was also doing it for her. She knew nothing about anything, and she was not greedy for power and status.
Similarly, she also knew how to show weakness, knowing that Yan Xingchuan would feel guilty if she mentioned her own experience. As long as Yan Xingchuan really felt guilty towards her and still remembered the kindness of the Lin family to him, he would not reject her.
Unfortunately, this life is no longer the previous one. Yan Xingchuan had already made his choice, and he knew early on that the heart beneath her weak, pitiful, innocent and cowardly face was not kind.
Perhaps she had suffered for many years and was eager to have stability and security. She wanted to have what others had, or even better. Only in this way could she feel calm and secure in her heart, and feel that she would not be like a duckweed, with no place to stay.
So she began to use everything she had to get what she wanted.
Perhaps it could be said that she was ill.
The lotus grows out of the mud but remains unstained. That is because the lotus itself can grow in the mud, and the mud can be its nutrients, but it grows alone in the mud, and every time it grows a branch, it is broken off and it is drowned in the mud forever.
Suffocation, despair, pain, unbearableness, numbness, all the evil in the world was directed at her.
And none of this happened as she wished, she was a victim.
Under such circumstances, it is really too much to ask her to be kind and generous.
At least, others can say that she is bad or wrong, but Yan Xingchuan has no way to blame her.
He also wanted to take care of his cousin, be tolerant and caring towards her, tell her that everything was over, that she had been reunited with him, that he was her brother and would always be her support, and that no one in the world could bully her anymore.
I hope that she, who has suffered so much and whose body and mind are broken, numb and withered, can have a new life, just like a dead tree that blooms new branches, leaves and flowers in spring.
But he had to choose between the two.
He felt guilty about his cousin and wanted to make it up to her, but his wife was the person he cared about most in his life. He said that he would never let his wife suffer any more, or he would just leave and never bother her again.
Yan Xingchuan listened to Lin Qingning's crying and closed his eyes.
After a long while, he sighed, "Qing Ning."
Lin Qingning's soft sobbing stopped for a while, and she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, revealing her slightly red eye sockets and eyes filled with tears.
The water is shallow and soft, like a clear pond.
Yan Xingchuan walked down from the seat of honor and sat down on a chair next to her, separated by a table. He then said to her, "It's not that I can't agree with you, but there are people I care about more."
Yan Xingchuan decided to have a frank talk with her, hoping that she would listen and achieve the best result.
Lin Qingning paused and asked in a low voice, "Is it Madam Cui?"
Yan Xingchuan nodded. "I've let her down in many ways throughout my life. She's mad at me and doesn't want to bother with me. When I said I'd make her my adopted sister and princess, it was actually because she refused to marry me."
"I was also worried that she would be bullied in the future, so I gave her this status. I also selfishly felt that since she was in this position, no one else could sit in it."
Yan Xingchuan took the responsibility of the matter and said, "Just think of it as me trying to please her, giving her the best, and only giving it to her. I hope that when she is in a good mood, she will look back at me."
Lin Qingning was stunned.
She knew that Yan Xingchuan had feelings for Cui Si, and even favored her, but she didn't expect him to say such words.
Yan Xingchuan said, "She is the wife I have chosen, and you are my sister. I will still protect you. I only have one request, which is that you don't fight with her."
Lin Qingning couldn't believe it, tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of her hand: "Is she that important?"
“Very important.”
"But what if...what if she can't tolerate me?"
"No." Yan Xingchuan denied it outright. "She doesn't even want to bother with me, let alone you. Don't provoke her. She'll just pretend you don't exist."
Lin Qingning bit her lip: "But...but..."
Yan Xingchuan said, "If my eldest brother were still alive, he would definitely consider you the most important, because you are the wife he has chosen. He would protect you for the rest of his life, and everyone else would be secondary."
"I feel the same way. I know I owe the Lin family a lot. I will never be able to repay their kindness in my lifetime, but she is my wife and the most important person to me."
"As long as you don't fight with her, I will protect you for the rest of your life."
This was his promise. He only hoped that he could be with his wife for the rest of his life, and that Lin Qingning could live a stable and happy life of her own. As her brother, he would be her lifelong support.
"Rest well for a while, and then think about how you want to live your life."
"If you just want to get married, I will choose a husband for you. If you want to pass on the Lin family's incense, I will also choose a son-in-law for you. The children you have in the future will have the surname Lin."
"If Northern Yan conquers the world and divides the country one day, I can also grant your child the title of marquis."
This is not just empty talk. After all, Yan Xingchuan is confident that this world will be his sooner or later.
"Qingning, don't provoke her. Although I don't want to be ungrateful or let the Lin family down, if I have no choice, I will go all the way."
"Even if the Lin family blames me, I will go to hell and apologize to them. I will not hesitate to kill them or shave them."
Even though he felt guilty, he made his choice.
Lin Qingning's eyes were red and she looked completely lost.
Yan Xingchuan added, "I've made my position clear to you. Beyond this limit, you can ask for anything you want, and I will carefully consider it. As long as it's not excessive, I can agree to it. However, I cannot agree to anything involving her."
"What if I insist?" Lin Qingning bit her lip.
"Then don't blame me for not considering the gratitude between our two families."
Lin Qingning's face turned pale. She bit her lips tightly, hiding her strong jealousy and unwillingness in her shallow tears, and her fingers were digging into her sleeves tightly.
"What do you mean by that, cousin? Are you threatening Qingning?"
"I'm just reminding you that there are things you can do and things you can't do."
"If my eldest cousin were still alive, he would definitely not treat me like this!"
"He is him, and I am me." Yan Xingchuan was very patient with her and repeated, "You are the wife he has chosen, so he cares about you the most. I have my own wife, and you are my cousin."
"Then you might as well marry me." Lin Qingning blurted out.
Yan Xingchuan's expression immediately darkened, and he looked at Lin Qingning with a cold gaze: "Qingning, don't let me hear this a second time."
