Chapter 250 They got together
"Lin Ting, it's too much trouble to stay here. I'd better go back to my little yard. My flowers and plants are still outside. If it snows tonight, they won't be able to recover."
"elder sister!"
Lin Ting was a little reluctant to leave. After all, today was Chinese New Year, and the feeling was always different from usual.
"Okay, Qingzhou, take Lin Ting and the others back to the house. It's cold outside."
Shen Qingzhou nodded: "Sister, and Master Qu, there will be heavy frost and dew at night, so please be careful."
"it is good!"
Seeing all the guests leave, the lively home suddenly became deserted again, which made people feel lost.
Qu Yuanxun asked Lin Lin to sit in his carriage, which he had prepared with a hot water bottle and a cloak, and he had warmed them up.
There was a glass oil lamp in the carriage, which swayed as the carriage moved.
"Linlin, cover yourself with this and you won't be cold."
"Thank you!"
Qu Yuanxun covered Lin Lin's legs with his cloak for fear that she would get cold.
"Lin Lin! We..."
"Master Qu, thank you for always sending people to protect me in secret. After this incident, I should also take some guards with me.
After a few days, you won’t need to keep those people around me anymore, as the county government needs more manpower.”
Qu Yuanxun frowned. He had clearly forbidden anyone to tell this matter, so how did Lin Lin know about it?
"Lin Lin, your business is growing bigger and bigger, and your reputation is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid someone might do something bad to you, or someone with jealous eyes might target you.
And I'm not by your side. What should I do if something happens to you?"
Qu Yuanxun's dark eyes were filled with worry and concern.
He is the people's father and mother official, but he only bows his head in front of Lin Lin. Even Lin Lin himself doesn't know how he is worthy of him.
"Qu Yuanxun, I..."
When Qu Yuanxun heard Lin Lin calling his name instead of Lord Qu, he felt nervous and happy at the same time, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Lin Lin, what did you call me? Did you call my name?"
Lin Lin nodded. Qu Yuanxun was such a good man, with handsome features, tall figure, great knowledge, gentle and elegant. How could she not be attracted to him?
"Lin Lin, I knew you liked me too, right? We have a mutual understanding, so we..."
Qu Yuanxun was so happy. He could tell from Lin Lin's expression that Lin Lin liked him.
"Qu Yuanxun, let's talk it out today. You know all about my past, and you also know what kind of person I am.
What's more, you know that I can't have children. If you want to play with me in Wenzhu County, I'm very busy.
If you have thought carefully about me, please think carefully. If you choose me, you will never have a child of your own until you grow old.
Or if you want to take a concubine or have her give birth to your children in the future, I don’t like that kind of life.
I have money, I have business, I am free and easy, there is no need to make myself unhappy.
Therefore, your momentary impulse now may very well lead to a situation that neither of them wants to see, so you should think carefully."
Qu Yuanxun held Lin Lin's hands in his own and told her seriously.
"Lin Lin, I know you're worried. I love you, and even though I know you're infertile, I don't care.
Men of my Qu family never take concubines. If you are willing, I can propose marriage immediately.
Also, your business, shops, properties, and farms before you got married are all yours, and will remain yours in the future. I, Qu Yuanxun, will not get involved in any of them."
Qu Yuanxun knew that she felt insecure and that she had suffered in the past, so now she valued money more than anything else.
Compared with silver, Qu Yuanxun's weight is far less.
After hearing this, Lin Lin was stunned for a moment. She and Qu Yuanxun had known each other for quite some time and knew each other's personality and character.
If this were said by someone else, Lin Lin might not believe it, but since it was said by Qu Yuanxun, it must have been something he had carefully considered.
"Forget it. I don't plan to get married again. Just treat this as if I drank too much today."
The white wine that Shen Dali brought out tonight was very strong, and Lin Lin drank quite a bit, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to say those words to Qu Yuanxun.
But now that things have come to this, how could Qu Yuanxun possibly think that she was just talking nonsense while drunk? He didn't know how tormented he must be waiting for Lin Lin to say these words.
"How can this be possible? Lin Lin, you don't even know that I've thought of everything. It's just a child. If you want to raise him, we can adopt him.
If you don't want to raise a child, we can just live together. Actually, I don't want you to have a child at all. I'm very scared about having a child."
When he said this, he held Lin Lin's hand even tighter.
Lin Lin also understood why he was afraid. His deceased wife died of complications during childbirth. It was said that he had witnessed it with his own eyes, which inevitably left a psychological trauma.
Lin Lin leaned lazily on the soft cushion of the carriage, feeling a little sleepy.
"Qu Yuanxun, I just want to live a happy life for the rest of my life. I don't have the energy to face too many opposing voices with you. I'm tired, I need to take a nap!"
Qu Yuanxun put the cloak back on her. Lin Lin was talking about his mother.
His mother had always been against his liking for Lin Lin and had done a lot of things in between, but now, this was no longer a problem.
Qu Yuanxun helped Lin Lin over and let her lean on him. After the New Year, he would persuade his mother to propose to Lin Lin.
When it comes to marriage, Lin Lin just wants to let nature take its course. If she has to work hard to get it, then she doesn't want it.
During the New Year holidays, she sat at home reading and studying the art of playing the zither as usual, and Qu Yuanxun would ask her to go out for a walk every day.
But it's already afternoon today and he hasn't come yet.
Just when Lin Lin thought that he would not come today, there was a knock on her door.
Lin Lin trotted over and saw Mrs. Qu and Xiaoju. Although Lin Lin was smiling, she looked visibly disappointed.
"Oh, is Mrs. Lin unhappy to see an old woman like me? Don't you want to invite me in to sit down?"
Lin Lin smiled and said, "Old Madam, please come in!"
Lin Lin felt a little flustered. Although she had a good relationship with Old Madam Qu, she was now with Qu Yuanxun, but Old Madam Qu opposed this matter.
She suddenly came to her courtyard at this time. Did she know something? Or was she here to warn her like before?
"It's cold outside, please sit inside, old lady."
This was the first time that Mrs. Qu came to Lin Lin's small courtyard. There was a charcoal brazier in Lin Lin's living room.
She also kept the items in the house neatly and cleanly organized. The rows of bookcases and the paintings on the wall were all in restrained colors, and it was obvious that they were her own work.
There are musical instruments and chess in the family, and she is a studious girl.
