Chapter 139: Long Talk
Yan Jinxuan took out a delicate package from his pocket and said to Zhu Qingmei, "Give it to you." β
Zhu Qingmei opened it and saw that it was actually five novels in Korean.
She didn't know what to say. Because she knew that before this, the Nine Princes had asked someone to look for Korean books for her everywhere, but the harvest was extremely limited, and he found five, which of course surprised her.
"Where did you find it? I know that this kind of book is difficult to find in the Ming Kingdom. Zhu Qingmei asked hurriedly, her tone could not hide her excitement.
"I asked a friend to find you after learning Korean, and you know that I often run around the world, so I have close friends everywhere." Yan Jinxuan said.
Indeed, it was difficult to find such books, and he asked a North Korean businessman who was entrusted by his friend who was far away in the border to do business.
"Thank you!" Zhu Qingmei said sincerely.
Hurriedly beckoned the maids to serve tea.
After the hot tea and snacks came up, Zhu Qingmei asked the maids to retreat.
"Lord Yan, I'...... Do you have something to tell me? Zhu Qingmei asked in a low voice.
Yan Jinxuan smiled and nodded, and said while adding tea to her: "County Lord, do you know the real reason why we have not been able to establish a harmonious relationship for ten years? β
He was a blunt question.
Zhu Qingmei thought for a while before saying, "I really haven't thought about this issue carefully before, I just think that there is a big age gap with you, and it is difficult to communicate." And I've been pampered since I was a child, and my attitude towards you is not very friendly, so I think it has something to do with these factors. β
"Although it has nothing to do with this, it is not the main reason, the main reason is that our hearts are not in each other's body." Yan Jinxuan looked at her with a warm face.
Zhu Qingmei looked at him in great surprise, indeed, it was right to use his words to describe their relationship, if the heart was on the other party, she would not lose her temper every time she saw him, wishing that he would not come again, and he would not bear to the extent that even if he returned to Beijing, he would not come to visit her immediately.
The reason for this is that neither of them willingly regarded each other as their future partner.
So, now that he is aware and he is aware of it, will it be easier to do the next thing? She pondered what to say to him.
But she moved several times and couldn't speak. She felt that it was unfair to him to say those words after all.
Of course, Yan Jinxuan could see her thoughts, so he said in a very calm tone: "County Lord, you have someone you like in your heart, right?" β
Zhu Qingmei was shocked. Busy asked, "How do you know?" β
"When he came to visit last spring, I stumbled upon you playing together, and I noticed that you seemed to have something in your heart suddenly activated, you were smiling so happily, and he liked you so much, plus you learned Korean. When I think about it, I understand it all. β
"So you're watching me." She screamed.
She hadn't felt his concern before. But of course, in her heart, she wished he did.
Yan Jinxuan smiled, and then said, "I can't exert influence on you and another person can do it easily, you should know what the reason is, right?" β
"What is the reason?" She didn't have her own answers, but she would have liked to hear his answers.
"It's because you and another person have love for each other, but we don't when we're together." Yan Jinxuan said calmly.
Zhu Qingmei sighed and nodded.
"Because you love someone in your heart, you will be willing to do anything you didn't bother to do before." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile again.
These words went to Zhu Qingmei's heart, so Zhu Qingmei looked at him blankly, wondering what he said the ultimate purpose.
Is he willing to let go?
In order to get a more accurate answer, she feigned puzzlement and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." β
"Surely you know what I'm talking about. I don't mean to blame you, Lord of the County, on the contrary, I approve of your courage in the pursuit of true love. If you can make up your mind, I will do my best to help you achieve your wish. Yan Jinxuan looked at her with a firm gaze and said.
Zhu Qingmei suddenly had a feeling of seeing new hope, and her heart was both happy and apprehensive.
Is this really possible? Such a big thing, and it is something that has long been settled, is it really possible to change?
But his gaze was so firm and powerful, she could see that he was confident that he could do it.
"What about you?" Zhu Qingmei asked cautiously. After all, this marriage contract has also existed for ten years, and he has been subject to the constraints of it for ten years.
"Of course, I will also try to find my true love." Yan Jinxuan's face showed a sweet smile with a little longing. This kind of smile is the first time Zhu Qingmei has seen it from his face. She didn't know what was going on in his mind at the moment. But she was inexplicably jealous and unwillingβhow had he never smiled at her in all the previous ten years?
Although he used to smile every time he came to see her, it was not pleasant to her.
But today he is smiling like this, does he wish that his relationship with him should be cleared up quickly?
Zhu Qingmei's heart suddenly became a little blocked.
"I'm worried that my father and my mother will oppose it." Zhu Qingmei said.
"When the time comes, I will come forward, and I don't need you to say it. I'll take care of everything. Yan Jinxuan said.
Zhu Qingmei continued to look at him blankly, but she vaguely felt that he was capable of handling this matter properly.
"You...... Will you blame me? Zhu Qingmei asked tentatively.
"Of course not. We don't have many decades to splurge, and I'm sorry that you can't really be yourself because of this family business! β
"And when are you going to say it?" She asked again.
"I'm going to say it at the end of April or early May, because in mid-April the second prince of North Korea will be visiting. You can take this opportunity to tell him that this may also be your last chance to confirm your relationship with him, and I hope you will take advantage of it. β
Zhu Qingmei understood what he meant-if she couldn't show her attitude this time, she would definitely have to marry into the Yan family at this time next year. Moreover, the second prince is already sixteen years old this year, and if she doesn't settle down with him this year, she may not have a chance next year.
No, there will definitely be no chance, because she will already be Yan Jinxuan's wife by then.
"Are you really willing to fulfill me?" Zhu Qingmei asked uneasily.
"Of course, I'm not going to joke about something as important." Yan Jinxuan said with a serious face.
"Okay, then do it according to your method, I'll try my best." Zhu Qingmei said.
"In order to make things safe, you must not tell anyone, not even your parents, until your relationship with the second prince is truly confirmed, can you do it?" Yan Jinxuan asked again, his expression was mild and there was a hint of seriousness.
"Yes." Zhu Qingmei nodded again.
"Then, county lord, we must work closely together in this matter to succeed."
"Okay."
"Thank you!" Yan Jinxuan held out his hand to her in a friendly manner.
She thought for a moment and reached out to shake his hand.
It was the first time they shook hands.
And they know that this is likely to be the last. (To be continued.) )
