The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 588 Lin Qianqian's Little Thoughts

Si Ning's heart was blocked for a moment, and he smiled unnaturally, pretending to be indifferent and replied: "Really?"

"I see that you are still young, two years younger than me. I'm really afraid that you will repeat the same mistake." Lin Qianqian looked at Si Ning with pretended concern, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Si Ning smiled lightly and answered with a firm look in his eyes: "Men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. It has nothing to do with age. I know what I want."

Lin Qianqian raised her lips slightly and said in a relaxed tone: "That's right, Brother Qi is lucky to have a sensible sister like you."

Si Ning's heart was shocked, the smile on her face became a little stiff, and she murmured to herself: "Sister...it turns out that he only treats me as a sister."

Seeing Si Ning was somewhat distraught, Lin Qianqian was secretly happy in her heart and continued, "Sister Rumeng, don't think too much. Brother Qi treats you well because you are well-behaved and cute. He loves you like his own sister."

Just as Si Ning was talking to Lin Qianqian, Yuan Qi came in with a bowl of medicine.

"What are you two talking about?" Yuan Qi asked curiously.

"I'm saying, Brother Qi, you're so lucky to have a sister as well-behaved and sensible as Rumeng," he said with a proud look on his face.

"Thank you for the compliment, Rumeng, it's time to take your medicine." Yuan Qi didn't take Lin Qianqian's words to heart. He took the medicine and went straight to Rumeng's bed.

Si Ning looked at the bitter medicine and felt like vomiting because of the bitter taste. However, he had no choice but to insist on drinking this very bitter medicine.

Lin Qianqian looked at this scene and said unwillingly, "Brother Qi, you should treat Rumeng well. I won't bother you for now."

Having said that, he walked out of the room. Lin Qianqian looked around and saw no one was around. She gritted her teeth, rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and a hint of hatred was revealed in her eyes.

"Who is this little girl pretending to be so pitiful? She has immediately stolen Brother Qi's attention," Lin Qianqian thought to herself. She originally thought that she could be alone with Yuan Qi in a room, but she didn't expect Si Ning to suddenly appear and disrupt her plan.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more jealous she felt. She decided not to let Si Ning succeed, and she had to find a way to win back Yuan Qi's attention.

On the day of the Immortal Cultivation Conference, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly, making people feel happy. As Lin Qianqian's father, Lin Mo also came to Lingyun Sect today. He was wearing a gorgeous purple brocade robe, with an upright posture, elegant temperament, and a faint smile on his face, looking particularly kind.

"Master Yuan, I haven't seen you for several months. You look even more handsome!" Lin Mo walked up to Yuan Qi, looked at him and said with a smile.

Yuan Qi bowed slightly and replied with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Lin. I wonder if you have any advice for me this time?"

Lin Mo laughed, patted Yuan Qi on the shoulder, and said, "Master Yuan, we are all family, there is no need to be so polite. I came here today, first, to participate in the Immortal Cultivation Conference, and second, I want to discuss some private matters with you."

Yuan Qi was a little confused. He thought that he and Lin Mo didn't have much in common, so he didn't know what he was talking about. So he asked, "Senior Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lin Mo looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Master Yuan, to be honest, I came here to betroth my daughter Qianqian to you."

Yuan Qi was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that Lin Mo would make such a request. He shook his head and said, "Senior Lin, this is absolutely not possible. I am not talented enough and I am definitely not worthy of Miss Lin."

Lin Mo disagreed and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, why do you underestimate yourself? You have become the master of a sect at such a young age, with profound cultivation and outstanding talents. How can you not be worthy of my Qianqian?"

Yuan Qi frowned and secretly complained in his heart. He himself had no interest in Lin Qianqian. Now that Lin Mo suddenly proposed this marriage, he was a little overwhelmed.

He thought for a moment and decided to politely refuse: "Senior Lin, thank you for your kindness. But I am devoted to Taoism and have no intention of considering marriage for the time being. Besides, Miss Lin is of noble status, and I really dare not marry her."

Lin Mo seemed to have expected Yuan Qi to refuse. He was not discouraged and continued to persuade him, "Master Yuan, please don't refuse. Although my daughter Qianqian is not talented, her family background, martial arts and appearance are quite impressive. After all, you two are old acquaintances. In fact, this time, in addition to participating in the Immortal Cultivation Conference, there is another thing. Because I know you inside and out, I think you and my daughter are a perfect match made in heaven."

Yuan Qi sighed helplessly and said, "Senior Lin, I appreciate your kindness. But marriage is about lifelong happiness, so please consider it carefully."

Seeing Yuan Qi's firm attitude, Lin Mo knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he stopped forcing him. He smiled and said, "Well, since Sect Master Yuan has made a decision, I won't force him. However, let's put this matter aside for now. If there is a chance in the future, we can discuss it in detail."

Yuan Qi nodded as if relieved and thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Lin, for your understanding."

Lin Mo patted Yuan Qi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, you're welcome. I hope everyone will have a great time at today's Immortal Cultivation Conference." After that, he turned and left, leaving Yuan Qi standing there alone, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

While everyone was busy at the Immortal Cultivation Conference, Lin Qianqian often came to visit Si Ning.

"Rumeng, the weather has been very good recently, so I bought some osmanthus cake from outside. Come and try it!" Lin Qianqian said with a smile.

Si Ning looked embarrassed: "How can I do this? Miss Lin, you have given me many things these days..."

Lin Qianqian waved her hands and said, "There are no women of my age in Lingyun Sect. You and I get along so well, there's no need to be too reserved. Just treat me as your sister."

Si Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally called out reluctantly: "Okay, I understand, Sister Lin."

At this time, Lin Qianqian sat on a stool nearby, sighed softly, and said slowly: "In fact, Brother Qi and I have known each other since childhood. When we were children, we practiced martial arts together and cultivated together. I never thought that he would be so outstanding, and now he is even more outstanding. My parents came here specially for this Immortal Cultivation Conference to discuss my marriage with Brother Qi."

"What? Your parents are here this time to discuss your marriage with Brother Yuanqi," Si Ning asked excitedly.

"Yes, Brother Qi and I have known each other since we were young and we have been childhood sweethearts. And we are now at the right age to get married. Sister, won't you bless us?" Lin Qianqian asked with her head tilted, a half-smile on her lips and a cunning light flashing in her eyes under her long eyelashes.

Si Ning suppressed the sadness in his heart and said with a forced smile: "Of course I congratulate my sister!"

Lin Qianqian was secretly proud of herself, thinking: "Huh, little girl, you still want to fight me? I am the daughter of the leader of Yantian Sect. And I am also recognized as the most beautiful woman in the world of immortal cultivation. And you, I heard, are just a woman of unknown identity. Are you worthy of Brother Yuanqi?"

After Lin Qianqian left, Si Ning became very depressed. She walked in a daze, staggering, as if she had lost her soul. She didn't know where she was going or what she should do, so she just walked aimlessly. Unconsciously, she came to Yuan Qi's door.
