Chapter 339: Two Girls 3

Lin Jiaxing nodded. The other day when he was standing outside the Government Office, he saw Lord Huai carrying Chaoyan out of the house. He suspected that Lord Huai had some affection for Chaoyan, since he was behaving in that way to her. If not for that incident, he might have nodded at this man’s proposal, but now, he just could not.

If he did not offend Lord Ling at this moment, he would offend both Chaoyan and Lord Huai. What was more, his sister would not have agreed either.

“Officer Xie, I already said that even if I said no, I would agree if Chaoyan wants it herself.” Lin Jiaxing added. “Even if we agree, and she doesn’t, there is nothing we can do – she holds the marriage certificate, so she has the call.”

Xie Yan laughed out of extreme anger. With eyes upon Lin Jiaxing, he snapped, “Very well, very well!”

The words had just been spoken when he smashed the cup, flung his sleeves and left.

Lin Jiaxing did not see him off. He shook his head involuntarily. He was just a strategist who dared to go against the folk’s willingness. It seemed that his master, namely Lord Ling, might not be a good suitor either.

That was all he could do at the moment. He sighed and told the housekeeper to inform Chaoyan at the Saint College.

He did not know whether Chaoyan knew about this. He believed not. If she had known about this, she would have asked someone to inform him.

What was going on!? Why were the girls of the Lin Family doomed to suffer in their life?

Well, a few years later when Chaoyan became the Queen, he gave up what he thought today – but that is for later.

Xie Yan headed directly to the Lord’s Mansion after he left the Lin Mansion.

He was in a terrible mood, but he could not possibly show that in front of Lord Ling. He arrived at Lord Ling’s study directly.

Lord Ling was reading letters when he heard the sound of footsteps. He could tell that it was Xie Yan who had just arrived. For some reason, he was really looking forward to receiving the result today, so he noticed that Xie Yan returned later than anticipated. However, none of that mattered, as long as everything was settled.

He put down the letters and looked at Xie Yan with a smiling look. “How did it go?”

Xie Yan had an even weirder look on his face when he caught Lord Ling’s smile. He was nervous. He had thought that he could make it right, since he was in a special status in the court. No one should turn him down!

For one moment, he hesitated. He had not had such feelings for a long time.

“Lord, Gu Zhenkang said that only the Lin Family has the say about Elder Miss’s marriage, so I went to the Lin Family directly. But the Lin Family said that Elder Miss herself has the say, so...”Xie Yan said anxiously.

Lord Ling was startled. He had a very complicated look on his face. Then he burst into laughter. “That is great!”

Xie Yan wondered what was going on – was the Lord happy or not?
