Chapter 838 - 53: I Am the Empress’s Younger Brother
Duke Zhen Yue has left.
Zhu Xue pulled Lin Lin aside.
"Do you know how much trouble your words just caused me?"
The content of this sentence seemed very serious.
But Lin Chou’s tone wasn’t as serious.
"Trouble?"
Lin Lin chuckled, saying calmly, "Some words you can’t say due to your status, so I said them for you. No need to thank me."
"Meng Xiao is Meng Xizhou’s brother. You deliberately spoke just now to push the marriage proposal further away." Zhu Xue narrowed his eyes, "Do you really not want to marry the Light Goddess?"
"Feelings can’t be forced." Lin Lin smiled, "I am willing to dedicate my life to the North Continent, to the frontier. If marriage is a part of that dedication, I won’t hesitate... So I didn’t directly oppose your previous marriage proposal because, who knows, maybe the Light Goddess is a proletariat sacrificer like me? I can only endure it. But as it seems now, she’s not like me. She has her ideals and pursuits, and I have mine. The Lin Family has countless ways to cooperate with Light City, so why choose the most traditional one?"
"..."
These words plunged Lin Chou into silence.
A moment later, he spoke seriously, "Lin Lin, this time is different. Your marriage with Meng Xizhou is really important. You will be the strongest alliance in nearly a hundred years."
