Chapter 413: Conspiracies
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ming Zhiyan was speechless for a moment. To be honest, he was a little happy when he heard Jian Qingqing say that, but he felt that she was still young and did not know anything. She only treated him like a close person.
He did not know how to explain it, so he could only stammer, “I… It should be the same for me… Similarly, you have to be wary of the men who get close to you. They are likely to plot conspiracies against you. It’ll hurt you…”
Jian Qingqing raised her head and glanced at him. She asked jokingly, “Are you also plotting against me?
Ming Zhiyan’s voice suddenly stopped. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at
Jian Qingqing helplessly. He explained in a panic, “I… I’m not…”
It was the first time that Jian Qingqing had seen him so flustered. He did not have his usual calm and self-control appearance, but he seemed a little upset. Her heart softened when she saw this, and she had a happy smile on her face.
Ming Zhiyan looked at her and knew she was joking. He said helplessly, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Jian Qingqing laughed. “I’m not talking nonsense. I’m serious. Do you really have any ill intentions toward me?”
Ming Zhiyan did not pay any more attention to her. After a long silence, he said in a muffled voice, “I didn’t. You’re still young and don’t understand these things. In short, don’t let other men get close to you in the future.”
Jian Qingqing was also silent for a moment before seriously saying, “Don’t treat me like a child who doesn’t know anything. Actually, I know a lot of things. I won’t let anyone get close to me, but because it’s you, I’m holding your hand and leaning on you.”
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhiyan’s heart was extremely flustered. Yes… Did she trust him so much because it was him?
At this time, he could no longer convince himself that Jian Qingqing was still a little girl who did not know anything. She said it so straightforwardly, but he was afraid that this was just a girl’s spur of the moment, and it would pass quickly.
But at the same time, there was a hidden joy in his heart that he did not even notice…
The two of them looked at each other silently all the way back to the Princess’s Manor. Ming Zhiyan was flustered and did not know how to talk about this matter. Jian Qingqing wanted to give him time to digest this.
At the door, Jian Qingqing saw that Ming Zhiyan was still in a daze. She jumped out of the carriage and said, “Brother Ming, I’ll go back first.
Goodbye!’
Since he wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, then forget it. Although Jian Qingqing was a little disappointed, she was not too sad. This was how it was. It was a matter of mutual consent. Since one side was not willing, then there was no need to force it.
Just as she was about to step into the door, Ming Zhiyan’s urgent voice came, “Wait!
Jian Qingqing turned her head and saw that he was still in a difficult position. She sighed and said, “Brother Ming, you don’t have to feel troubled. Just pretend that nothing happened today. Tomorrow will be the same as usual. I will forget what happened today. We will still be good friends tomorrow, okay?”
Ming Zhiyan also jumped off the carriage and walked in front of her. He looked straight into her round eyes and said seriously, “I’m not trying to run away from this. I’m just thinking about things. Only today did I understand…
How you feel about me…”
At this point, he was at a loss. He frowned, but still said, “But you’re still young. You’ll meet a lot of people in the future. By then, you might fall in love with someone else, and what happened today might put you in a difficult position..”
