I insist

Chapter 391: Face-to-Face Questioning

Suddenly, Yu Huailin had a flash of inspiration, and he looked at Liuli and said.

"Now that the time is ripe, go and tell the old eunuch to instruct that woman to promote me to an official position in the imperial court."

After listening and thinking about it, Liuli realized that this was indeed a good plan.

"Okay, I'll tell my stepfather when I get back."

Just then, the guards appeared in front of the two.

Seeing that there were other people around Yu Huailin, the guard walked up to him and whispered what had happened at home.

Yu Huailin's expression changed drastically after hearing this.

He then spoke to Liuli.

"I'll go back first. Remember to tell the old eunuch what just happened."

Liuli saw that Huailin was about to leave, and she thought, "How can this be?"

They immediately stepped forward and blocked his path.

"No, you can't leave. Did you call me out today just to find out about these things?"

Yu Huailin didn't have time to waste with all that nonsense.

"Get out of the way."

Seeing Huai Lin's heartless tone, Liu Li decided not to argue with her this time.

But how could they just let him go so easily?

In the blink of an eye, an idea came to mind, and he took out a sachet from his sleeve.

"I'll let you go back, but you have to give this sachet to Song Miqiu for me."

Yu Huailin asked, puzzled, "You mean give it to Song Miqiu?"

Liuli nodded. "Yes, I'll let you go if you agree."

Yu Huailin had no choice but to accept it.

And so Yu Huailin walked out of Liuli's room.

After leaving the house, they boarded the carriage that the guards had prepared in advance.

"Walk."

Yu Huailin stared blankly at the sachet in the carriage. After checking it several times, he found nothing wrong, but he was still uneasy.

He threw the sachet out the window halfway there.

This scene was witnessed by the maid who had followed Liuli out, and she immediately went back to tell her mistress.

“Miss, Yu Huailin threw away the sachet you gave me on the way.”

Liuli had already expected this. "I want him to throw it away. Do you think I really want to give it to that Song Miqiu? I don't have such a kind heart."

In the blink of an eye, Yu Huailin arrived at his doorstep.

At the door, Yu Huailin kept thinking about how to tell Song Miqiu without arousing her suspicion.

It's true that Song Miqiu opened the study door just now, but he came out immediately after taking only one step inside.

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Yufan knew that he would never be as good as Yu Huailin.

Without even asking Song Miqiu why he didn't go in to search, he left without saying goodbye.

After Yan Yufan left, Song Miqiu returned to her room, changed her clothes, and then went to the study to wait for Yu Huailin.

Song Miqiu knew what was going on and had already seen the guards inform Yu Huailin, so she simply waited for him to return in the study.

Yu Huailin raised his hand at the door of the study, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the door open and went in.

Yu Huailin was stunned by what he saw after entering.

Song Miqiu, dressed in red, was sitting at the table in the center of the study.

Yu Huailin could clearly see Song Miqiu's fair skin on her chest through the inner garment that reached her chest. Song Miqiu usually wore the clothes from the Imperial Hospital and had never been seen wearing bright clothes like ordinary women.

She was draped in a red veil, through which her arms and ankles were clearly visible.

Her makeup also underwent a major change. Yu Huailin couldn't bear to look away from Song Miqiu's petite yet full lips after she applied rouge and powder.

Her hair was all pulled back up, revealing her smooth forehead and making her cheeks appear even smaller.

Her hair was all draped over her back, which, combined with her red clothes, brought out Song Miqiu's personal charm to the fullest.

Song Miqiu looked up and saw Yu Huailin at the door. She filled the wine cup on the table and beckoned him to sit down.

Yu Huailin then noticed the table full of fine wine and delicacies, all of which were his favorite dishes.

"Come sit down, haven't you eaten yet?"

Yu Huailin felt slightly uneasy, but still sat down.

Song Miqiu put down his wine glass and sat down, sitting right next to Yu Huailin.

"Why were you looking at me like that just now? Were you mesmerized? Have you never seen me like this before?"

Song Miqiu said all of this on purpose, just to see how Yu Huailin would react.

Sweat was beading on Yu Huailin's forehead.

"I'll tell you anything you ask me."

Song Miqiu smiled after hearing what he said.

"We've never been to a bar before, how about we drink until we drop tonight?"

It wasn't until Song Miqiu got close to Yu Huailin that she smelled a scent that only a woman would have.

An An was inwardly displeased but didn't express it, still smiling as she looked at Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin looked at the wine glass that Song Miqiu had handed him, picked it up, and drank it all in one gulp.

But the more Song Miqiu acted this way, the more uneasy Yu Huailin felt.

After Yu Huailin finished drinking, Song Miqiu immediately refilled his glass.

"Don't just focus on drinking, you also need to eat."

Yu Huailin could only lower his head and eat when he saw the unfamiliar Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu simply held her chopsticks but didn't pick up any food; her eyes were fixed on Yu Huailin.

He asked Yu Huailin as if it were unintentional.

"You're always running around trying to get revenge. Do you ever think that one day you might want to get revenge and then be with a woman who can help you?"

He uttered the most skeptical words, yet his face remained smiling as before.

Yu Huailin knew that Song Miqiu was talking about his meeting with Liuli alone today, and he felt guilty and dared not look Song Miqiu in the eye.

"Don't overthink it, I won't do that."

Song Miqiu found it laughable.

"Really? Then why don't you dare look me in the eye when you say it?"

Yu Huailin then raised his head and said the same thing he had just said when he came in.

"Just ask me what you want to hear, and I'll tell you."

This was not the result Song Miqiu wanted at all. She thought that even if Yu Huailin didn't ask, the first thing he would do when he got home would be to tell her that it was all a misunderstanding.

Looking at Yu Huailin, Song Miqiu felt as if something had separated them.

You've become so unfamiliar.

Yu Huailin's body stiffened and his expression became extremely unnatural. He didn't want to continue arguing with Song Miqiu, so he changed the subject.

"How have you been at the Imperial Hospital these past few days?"

At this moment, Song Miqiu felt utterly hopeless. He put down his wine cup and turned to leave.

Yu Huailin stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "You won't leave me, will you?"

Faced with Yu Huailin's persistent questioning, Song Miqiu's heart softened again.

Then they heard Yu Huailin behind them say, "One day the revenge will end, and we will be able to live a peaceful life."

Song Miqiu fantasized, feeling that day was really far away.

Yu Huailin pressed on, "You won't leave me, will you?"

Song Miqiu nodded. "I'm just tired and want to rest for a bit."

Yu Huailin slowly loosened his grip, saying, "I'll tell you everything from now on."

Song Miqiu didn't want to hear those words anymore, so she covered her ears and went back to her room.

After calming down in the room, Song Miqiu told herself that she could no longer be infatuated with Huailin like before, otherwise she would only get hurt more.
