ALT chapter 2.2 Yan Lin

   Jiang Xuening had cold sweat on her forehead, and she hurriedly grabbed his arm: "No, no. There’s no such a thing! A misunderstanding. Blame me for having a nightmare just now, a nightmare. Just as I opened my eyes, I didn't grasp the situation yet and thought that Gentleman Shen was a bad man. I hit him in panic. Put down your sword quickly and be careful not to hurt anyone!”


  Yan Lin frowned: "Really?"


       After hearing Jiang Xuening's remarks, Shen Jie said to himself secretly that he was really unlucky.


       But after all, Young Master Jiang is a friend of Yan Lin. Although his status and standing differed greatly from him, can he make a fuss with the other party just because of this one slap?


  It's really not a gentleman’s demeanor.


       It’s just that Yan Lin’s looks of disbelief really makes him doesn’t know whether to laugh or to cry: "Can you still doubt my moral standing? Not to mention that I have no intention of offending, even if I really had offended him, will you really cut my hand?"


       He is the King of Linzi.


       The descendant of a royal family.

  

  But he did not expect that Yan Lin only quietly looked at him for a moment, neatly retracted the sword and returned it to its sheath, then said with an absolute and firm tone: "I will."


       Shen Jie's eyelids twitched and he immediately raised his eyes to look at him.


  Yan Lin had turned around to look at Jiang Xuening, and the cold voice was softened, as if years of ice and snow suddenly melted as he said: "Are you okay? You drank so much last night while I didn't pay attention. I will send you home?"


       When Jiang Xuening heard the word ‘I will’ of his, she couldn't help remembering her previous life: After Yan Lin returned to the court, he casted himself to Xie Wei, and together with Xie Wei, they turned Shen Jie into a mere figurehead only. Soon after, Shen Jie was poisoned.


       In her previous life, she felt that it was probably done by Xie Wei.


  But now she feels that it may not be the case and it might be Yan Lin who did it instead.


       When she was young, she regarded this kind of intention as ordinary. Now when she is reborn and comes back, she only finds how valuable it is.


       The teenager treats people with absolute sincerity, and was even not so good at concealing it. If he likes it, he has to protect and keep it by his side. If he cares about it, he has to show it. He even anxiously wants to hold it in his hands all the time.


  It's a pity that she doesn't deserve such love.


  Jiang Xuening looked at him in a daze and forgot to speak for a moment.


  Shen Jie felt that the situation is a bit subtle, and suddenly said: "Today, Teacher Xie is going to make a speech at the opening of Wenhua[1] hall, and we are going to attend it too. It’s this time already. Yan Lin, shouldn't you come into the palace with me? "


       Jiang Xuening reacted at this moment.


       She naturally has to return to the mansion.


  But after suddenly being reborn again, her mind was in a mess. It still needs to be sorted out, but she didn't want to be sent back to the mansion by Yan Lin., so she said: "The things in the palace naturally can't be delayed. Yan Lin, I also want to go back by myself today."


       At that time, she was notoriously known for having the temperament of being too spoiled.


       Half of it was because her father, Assistant Minister Jiang, was ashamed and didn't dare to control this daughter of his who he took back to the capital too much. The other half was because of being spoiled by Yan Lin.


  So her wanting to go back by herself actually didn't need any reason.


       Sure enough, Yan Lin really didn't ask why. It seemed that he had long been used to her willfulness and indulgence. Anyway, it was the Ning Ning that he put on the tip of his heart, so he only said, "Then I will call Qing Feng to follow you from far away."


       Qing Feng is one of his two personal attendants.


  Although Jiang Xuening wanted to reject it, when she looked at his expression, she knew it is better to put the idea down for the time being, and only nodded her head obediently.


  The more Shen Jie looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the two of them.


       He is a good-tempered person by nature and it was not easy to get him angry.


       In all fairness, his appearance is also excellent.


  Especially when he smiled, when both of his eyes were slightly curved, it was so elegant and gentle like a piece of fine jade.


       In those years after Jiang Xuening married him, they had never quarreled even once.
