Chapter 398: Pouring Water Over Her Head (3)_1
Seeing Lin Yuan frown, Xia Zheng resolved her confusion, "Yecheng’s first tavern is called Drunken Immortal Residence, and it’s part of the same establishment as the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the Capital. They have both been in business for many years and have quite a deep heritage."
Finally, he looked at Lin Yuan with a meaningful glance and added, "Moreover, both these taverns belong to the family of Consort Liu, who is the mother of the Second Prince."
Lin Yuan nodded in sudden understanding—it had a royal background, no wonder Xia Zheng couldn’t compete with them.
But, Xia Zheng also had a background!
"Xia Zheng, what exactly is your background?" Lin Yuan blinked playfully as she looked at him. Although she had vaguely guessed that Xia Zheng came from no ordinary background, it seemed like he had never talked about it himself.
Lin Yuan had asked in jest, not expecting a real answer. To her surprise, after Xia Zheng looked down for a while, he said, "I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you’d feel pressured. Anyway, I’ve already set my heart on you, so even if you wanted to leave me because of my identity, it’s impossible now. Because I’ll tie you to my side, and you won’t be able to go anywhere."
Stunned by Xia Zheng’s domineering declaration, Lin Yuan hummed, but her heart was sweetly content.
Xia Zheng reached into Lin Yuan’s neck and the jade pendant that he had given her appeared: "This jade pendant has a ’Xia’ character on it. It is the token our Xia family gives to our daughters-in-law. You’ve accepted my jade pendant, you’re mine, still thinking of escaping?"
Lin Yuan blinked; she had never said she wanted to run away. Even if his status was high, in her belief, all people are born equal. So what if there’s a difference in family status? She believed that with her abilities, it was possible for her to stand on an equal footing with Xia Zheng.
