Chapter 196 - 194: Please Let This Servant Go
"This matter will have to trouble you, elder sister, to personally take action. During these days of staying in the Capital, bring me to as many banquets as possible to create opportunities for me to interact with Xue Ling. I’m different from other women—I’m straightforward, sincere, and have a blunt personality. When the time comes, I can get along with him like a brother, or even spar with him. Sister, that little concubine’s maid doesn’t have the ability to spar with him. He will surely find me very special!"
The two sisters were discussing this when Xue Ling had already walked away, holding Xue Mianmian in his arms.
The path through the garden was deep and secluded, with only palace lanterns hanging on both sides.
Xue Ling furrowed his brow.
The little girl in his arms was still crying, her sobs soft and fragile, like the helpless mewling of a kitten, which left him irritable and restless.
He set Xue Mianmian down on the ground and commanded, "Stop crying."
Xue Mianmian lowered her damp lashes, tears still rolling down her cheeks.
She didn’t want to cry every time something happened, but her inherent condition of uncontrollable tears was something she couldn’t change.
Luo Wanxiang despised her so much—if, in the future, she really married Xue Ling, how would she survive?!
Sensing her fear, Xue Ling frowned and said, "I won’t marry her."
Xue Mianmian raised her tear-filled eyes, her small face still showing a hesitant expression. "You don’t like her?"
Xue Ling turned his face away. "Right now, I don’t want to marry anyone. Not her, nor the daughter of the National Academy Sacrificial Officer either."
