Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince-Chapter 589 - 589 Miss Lin is indeed rebellious

589 Miss Lin is indeed rebellious

Lin Jiao gazed into Mingquan’s eyes for a brief moment before averting them. She recalled what she did two days ago with him. However, she was happy about it. Mingquan would reject her straightforwardly which she wanted. Then, her father would not bother her.

The thing which panicked her was that Mingquan might tell her father what she did to him. Internally she wished he would not speak as he was called the most kind-hearted prince among all the six princes.

“Lin Jiao, greet Prince Mingquan formally,” Lin Wujian told her daughter. She acted on her father’s order and formally greeted Mingquan.

“The greeting doesn’t seem genuine at all,” Mingquan remarked and picked up the cup. He rested its base on the back of his left hand and sipped the tea.

Lin Jiao scowled at him while her father and brother were perplexed to hear that.

“Why doesn’t Miss Lin take a seat?” Mingquan asked her.

She stepped up with tiny steps and sat down on the broad chair across from him.

“Lin Jiao, pour the tea for Prince Mingquan.” Lin Wujian asked her daughter in a humble tone.

“I won’t take more tea,” Mingquan said. He pondered whether he should plainly reject her or he should tell his mother that he would not marry Lin Jiao.

.....

“Does Prince Mingquan want to talk to Lin Jiao alone? We have set up an arrangement,” Lin Yongyi said.

“Sure,” Mingquan agreed to it. Lin Jiao didn’t expect him to say yes.

“Rui Chun, show them the prepared room,” Lin Yongyi ordered.

Mingquan stood up first and then the others. He and Lin Jiao walked out of the guest room.

Reaching a room that had a direct view of the small garden in the residence, both Mingquan and Lin Jiao sat around the floor table. A white translucent curtain was hung above the table, thus not letting them see each other’s faces clearly.

Rui Chun set the table with tea and some sweets before stepping out of the room.

As soon as the door closed, Lin Jiao moved the curtain up, thus taking Mingquan by a surprise. “I don’t want to marry you,” Lin Jiao said.

“I do not want to marry you either,” Mingquan asserted. “Shouldn’t you apologize for what you did to me that day?” He arched his eyebrow at her.

“Why should I? It was the Prince, who should apologize to me. Does he have any idea how I washed those fabrics!?” Lin Jiao complained and crossed her arms.

The headpiece above her head made her uncomfortable and she quickly removed it. She put it on the table and raised her right knee in the air. Her arm rested on it and she continued, “Tell my Father that you don’t want to marry me.”

“I am surprised at Miss Lin’s way of talking,” Mingquan chuckled. “I thought noble family’s woman has a sophisticated way of speaking,” he remarked and sneered at her

“That’s why we will not be a good pair. I am a rebellious kind of person. It is not easy to bear me. You will not want to make me your wife,” Lin Jiao muttered.

Mingquan heard her words keenly.

“Why doesn’t Miss Lin refuse this marriage?” He opined. “That will be better,” he stated.

“I will, but you need to do the same,” Lin Jiao said. She could not let him find that she couldn’t refuse to marry him as her father would immediately go for another marriage proposal.

Mingquan initial decision was to plainly refuse to move forward with this marriage, but now, after talking with Lin Jiao, he wanted to play with her for a short time before rejecting her.

“Why doesn’t Miss Lin apologize to me?” Mingquan asked her.

“I wasn’t at fault that day,” Lin Jiao asserted.

“Miss Lin is indeed rebellious,” Mingquan said and decided to teach her a lesson. He watched the way she was sitting, looking around and shaking her leg. Her impression of him wasn’t pleasant at all. He could see Lin Jiao was filled with the wrong attitude.

They stayed in that place for not more than ten minutes and returned to the guest room. Lin Jiao was overjoyed because Mingquan would refuse her father to go forward with the marriage. She could not express her happiness and they both halted after stepping inside the guest room.

“His Highness ended the private meeting quite soon,” Lin Wujian said with a worried look. He thought if his daughter already annoyed a person like Mingquan.

“State Minister Lin Wujian, I would like to know more about Miss Lin Jiao. I am surprised with her unique and rare personality,” Mingquan announced his decision.

Lin Jiao’s smile instantly disappeared and her jaw dropped down. Did she hear something wrong? She turned to look at him in bewilderment. Mingquan also gazed at her with a smile on his lips. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

Both Lin Wujian and Lin Yongyi were shocked to hear the decision of the Prince. Wujian was scared of his daughter’s actions and was worried that she would say something wrong to anger him. But no such thing happened. He was above the clouds after hearing this decision.

They both stood up from their places. Lin Wujian told Mingquan he was unable to express his happiness.

Mingquan shifted his gaze at him and said, “Minister Lin, I should leave for work. It was great to meet your family.”

“I will see Prince Mingquan outside the residence,” Lin Wujian said and stepped up.

“I am thankful for that, but it is not needed,” Mingquan said and turned around to leave. Lin Wujian and Yongyi both bowed as Mingquan walked out of the guest room.

Lin Jiao didn’t understand it. He clearly told her he had no interest in marrying her, then why this sudden change of decision? She ran out to ask him and saw him on the pavement.

Hastening towards him, she halted in front of him and spread her arms out, thus stopping him.

She caught her breath. “W-why? Why did you not reject m-me?” She knitted her brows together and lowered her arms. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Mingquan widely smiled and took a step close to her. “Because I would love to know more about you,” he said with a smirk.
