C18 Engagement

"Greetings, Third Prince." Lin Fu Cheng brought a group of women and stood in front of the academy's gate. When he saw Nan Gong Jin get out of the car, he slightly bowed and said. This way, he showed his respect for Nan Gong Jin, but he did not seem humble.

Lin Ruo Yin slightly raised her head and looked at the handsome man in front of her. There was a dark current flowing in her eyes. In her previous life, she had fallen in love with him without caring about anything else, but in exchange, he had deceived her and betrayed her. Even though she had almost lost her life countless times for her sake, he had always treated her as someone he could use.

Taking the throne, ruling the country, and ruling the state. Which of these things was not because she had wholeheartedly supported him? But what did she get in the end? He had been with her since she was pregnant and had always believed in her beloved elder sister. He had also ignored her when she had asked him for help and was unwilling to be forced by her father and elder sister to commit suicide. He had also torn off her tendons and threw her into the cold palace, but he had ignored her young and weak daughter.

Nan Gong Jin, you are not worthy!

Lin Ruo Yin thought about the things she had done in her previous life, and when she looked at that face again, she did not have a single trace of love or attachment in her heart. Instead, there was only endless hatred and disgust.

After Nan Gong Jin got out of the car and greeted Lin Fu Cheng, he casually swept his eyes across the place, but he coincidentally met Lin Ruo Yin's eyes. Nan Gong Jin looked at those eyes with a trace of strangeness, and there seemed to be a hint of disgust in those eyes.

Nan Gong Jin looked at those eyes again, but there was no longer any emotion in them, and his eyes were clear.

Seeing that Nan Gong Jin was interested in Lin Ruo Yin, Lin Fu Cheng could not help but feel happy. He took a step forward and introduced her to Nan Gong Jin, "This is my adopted daughter. Her name is Lin Ruo Yin. She is gentle, polite, and sensible. She has my heart."

"My adopted daughter is called Lin Ruo Yin. She is gentle, polite, and sensible. She is a good person."

However, Lin Ruo Yin sneered in her heart when she heard Lin Fu Cheng's words. In her previous life, even if she did not have the current etiquette standards, she was still timid. His introduction was also the same. In order to successfully sell her to Nan Gong Jin, Lin Fu Cheng naturally had to praise her with all his might.

Furthermore, the word adopted daughter was really laughable. Everyone knew that Lin Ruo Yin was definitely Lin Fu Cheng's biological daughter. Furthermore, she was definitely an illegitimate daughter. Since she was an illegitimate daughter, how could she be favored by Lin Fu Cheng?

Nan Gong Jin naturally understood this logic. Furthermore, he only felt that Lin Ruo Yin's gaze was strange. It was not that she was interested in him, so he just nodded his head indifferently. Instead, he focused his gaze on Lin Ruo Xi, who was standing behind Lin Fu Cheng.

"I believe that the elegant Miss is definitely the eldest daughter of the Lam Family, Miss Lin Ruo Xi, right?" Nan Gong Jin took a step forward and smiled. He had fully displayed the charm of his handsome face.

Lin Ruo Xi was first stunned, then she remembered the background behind Nan Gong Jin. However, she did not seem to be in high spirits. She asked him in a distant manner. However, Lin Ruo Yun, who was at the side, was a little excited. She looked at Nan Gong Jin's handsome face and blushed. However, when she thought about how Nan Gong Jin not only took the initiative to get close to Lin Ruo Xi, but even Lin Ruo Yin had noticed him, she did not even look at her. She could not help but feel a little angry.

Lin Ruo Yin looked at Lin Ruo Yun's unsettled face and knew that the family dinner tonight was going to be chaotic.

Lin Ruo Yun's current appearance was probably because she had fallen in love with Nan Gong Jin. It would be strange if she didn't think of a way to make Lin Ruo Yin hate Nan Gong Jin.

Lin Ruo Yin thought about it for a while and then went back to the courtyard to prepare. Although she hated Nan Gong Jin, it didn't mean that Nan Gong Jin couldn't fall in love with her. If she had the most sincere feelings for someone, wouldn't it be Nan Gong Jin's fault for what he did to her in the past? Why not return the favor?

...

It was night. The mansion was brightly lit and the sound of the strings and bamboo flutes could be heard. It was the banquet prepared by Lin Fu Cheng for Nan Gong Jin. The main purpose was to make Nan Gong Jin agree to the marriage with Lin Ruo Yin and divert his attention from Lin Ruo Xi.

"I wonder what Master Lin thinks about my proposal?" Of course, Nan Gong Jin knew that only by marrying Lin Ruo Xi would he be able to obtain Lin Fu Cheng's help. He would spare no effort to help Lin Ruo Xi.

"I have thought about this matter carefully and I think that the eldest daughter, Lin Ruo Xi, is the most important person. So I can't agree to the Third Prince's proposal." Lin Fu Cheng already had a reason in his heart. Seeing the Third Prince's gloomy face, he quickly said, "But my adopted daughter has not been married yet. She is gentle and lovely. What do you think?"

"Lam is unwilling to marry, so why force a daughter who is not favored to marry me?" Nan Gong Jin also understood Lin Fu Cheng's thoughts. He was undoubtedly trying to betroth Lin Ruo Yin to him. He was a little unhappy for a moment.

The strawberry had slept until now. Sorry for the wait.
