Chapter 413 Men and Women are Different (4)_1
In Lin Ziyin’s view, the only reason Chu Suifeng was treating her as such was for business.
The Northern Land was short of silver, and she had the ability to earn money. Chu Suifeng was rather domineering and naturally didn’t want his money tree to be plundered by others.
In order to keep her, it was best to keep her close to him. There were many methods to keep someone close, such as being a secretary or partner, or assigning her a lady official’s position. Yet none of these methods could compare to the security of marrying her, Lin Ziyin, into his residence.
Chu Suifeng quietly looked at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. From childhood to adulthood, he had never had any experience dealing with women, let alone coaxing any of them. Even towards his respected maternal grandmother, he had never been servile. But for this young woman in front of him, he shattered many firsts.
First time speaking to her softly, first time taking the initiative to draw close to a woman, first time striving to collect the world’s finest things to please her, first time lowering himself to wipe sweat for a woman...
After doing so much, to his disbelief, she didn’t appreciate any of it, or rather, the young woman in front of him didn’t value him much. This realization caused Chu Suifeng’s eyes to squint momentarily.
"I have never been so devoted to any other woman, you shouldn’t be too presumptuous." As the Lord of the Northern Land, Chu Suifeng also had his own pride. Lin Ziyin was openly defying him, with her maid, his guards, and even "outsider" Lin Changshu behind them; Chu Suifeng was somewhat angered and felt his pride was at stake.
"I thank the Prince for his favor." Lin Ziyin said indifferently, utterly unafraid of Chu Suifeng’s icy gaze and tone, she made her decision — no matter what, she would speak her mind today, "The prince can rest assured, even for our friendship, for the sake of the whole Northern Land, for my family, I will take good care of everything entrusted to me by the prince."
