Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf
chapter-396-30041322

Lin Feilu pursed her lower lip as she inched closer slowly. Then, she hugged his arm coquettishly, “Father Emperor, I just don’t want to get married so early. My mansion has just been built, and I haven’t experienced the happy life of living alone. If I get married now, I will regret it for my entire life.”

Emperor Lin was unmoved, “You can make a decision first and then get married next year.”

Lin Feilu pursed her lips, eyes turning red as they twitched in an aggrieved manner, “Father Emperor doesn’t like Little Lu anymore, so you can toss me aside like you would with a bucket of water. Father Emperor doesn’t want Little Lu anymore, boohoo…”

Emperor Lin was helpless yet amused, “Sneaky thing, you just knew this would work on me.”

Lin Feilu, “He he…Boohoo…”

Emperor Lin sighed. His expression was quite relaxed, but he said, “I do hope you can marry the man you like, and I won’t force you otherwise. However, the marriage has to be carried out. I’ll give you a bit more time, so choose wisely.”

Lin Feilu didn’t expect that she, who didn’t have to experience the horrible feeling of being placed in an arranged marriage in her past life, would have to go through it now. Her emotions became a jumbled mess at that thought.

She decided that if she couldn’t escape, then she would secretly run to the Qin Mountains to find Lin Ting!

If her Eldest Brother could hide in the mountains, so could she! It really didn’t work. It wouldn’t be bad to fake her death and explore the outer world in the future. Either way, she had more plans than she had worries.

When she left the Yangxin Palace, Lin Feilu felt very calm.

As soon as she stepped down the staircase in front of the palace, a soldier dressed in armour walked towards him. The spring sunlight shone on his black armour, reflecting the cold yet shimmering light. Lin Feilu was stunned for a long time and didn’t realise who it was until he walked up to her.

“Xi Xingjiang? When did you return to the capital?”

She hadn’t seen him for more than a year. He has matured a lot, and his expression has become slightly more rigid. Paired with the armour on his body, she couldn’t recognise him immediately.

She saw his old self in him when his mouth broke into a wide smile.

“I just arrived to report the military situation to His Majesty. Did Little Bean miss Brother Viscount at all?”

Lin Feilu made a disgusted expression, “You haven’t even changed your clothes, how filthy. You go on your way, I’m leaving.”

Xi Xingjiang grabbed her and said, “Wait for me here! I haven’t seen you for so long, so how can you not even say a few things to me? You little girl with no conscience— I can’t believe I was even concerned about you all along.”

Lin Feilu patted his hand away, “I’m busy, so just go in quickly.”

Xi Xingjiang let go of her hand speechlessly and saw her jumping away. He shook his head and hooked the corner of his lower lip before straightening his face again, and walking up to the Yangxin Palace.

In addition to his experience in the frontier over the years, he took over many important military tasks. In fact, he had completed quite a number of errands and discharged his duties very well.

Emperor Lin was naturally very delighted when he saw him. After listening to his report on the military situation, they talked a bit more about military affairs. The Emperor’s eyes darted over the portraits that he hadn’t kept and asked abruptly, “Xingjiang, you are not engaged yet, are you?”

Xi Xingjiang paused, “Yes, I’m not.”

Emperor Lin smiled, “You are not very young either, and I mentioned this to Noble Consort Xi as well last time. Do you have a girl that you like?”

Xi Xingjiang was stunned for a moment before he said slowly, “No.”

Emperor Lin smiled and said, “Very good.”

Xi Xingjiang, “…”

What do you mean ‘good’?

Xi Xingjiang decided not to question it. Thinking that he had to find his Little Bean and seeing that Emperor Lin didn’t have anything else to say, he excused himself.
