I insist

Chapter 190: He's Fallen in Love with Me

Hearing Song Miqiu's question, Yu Huailin looked at her with a wry smile. He rested one hand on the wooden table, cupped his face in his palm, and explained with a laugh, "How could I possibly have someone I like? Besides, I'm ignoring you because I have other things to do."

"What's the matter?"

Yu Huailin choked, as he had never wanted to reveal that he worked under the Crown Prince.

Now that Song Miqiu has asked him this, it seems he has no choice but to answer, even if he doesn't want to.

Thinking of this, Yu Huailin pinched his brow bone and sighed helplessly. Faced with Song Miqiu's question, he could only tell the truth.

To avoid Song Miqiu continuing to speculate, which would ultimately only cause him more distress.

“It’s not what you think.” Yu Huailin opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and revealed everything he was planning to do: “I am currently working for the Crown Prince.”

"You work for the Crown Prince?!"

Song Miqiu thought about it carefully and did not expect that Yu Huailin would appear by the Crown Prince's side. She looked at the other party suspiciously and sized him up. "You are not lying to me, are you? How could you be working for the Crown Prince? I have never seen you before."

If Yu Huailin really was acting on behalf of the Crown Prince, then when she went to the Eastern Palace earlier, she only happened to see two advisors beside the Crown Prince, but she didn't see Yu Huailin at all.

Thinking of this, Song Miqiu paused.

Upon hearing Yu Huailin's words, she suddenly remembered that one of the two strategists seemed to resemble Yu Huailin in build, but their faces and names were different.

She had never heard of Yu Huailin's name in the Eastern Palace.

"Why would I lie to you?" Yu Huailin found it amusing to see Song Miqiu looking at him suspiciously. He sat there, leaning back in his chair, sipping his tea, and waiting for Song Miqiu to think about it.

Song Miqiu thought for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered that when she returned from the Yan family, she saw a pile of disguise tools on the table. At the same time, she suddenly remembered that the one of the two strategists, whose figure was very similar to Yu Huailin, looked very familiar.

Song Miqiu frowned, only then remembering that she had been inexplicably angry before because Yu Huailin had become intimate with a woman after disguising himself.

Thinking about it more deeply now, one of the advisors beside the Crown Prince was Yu Huailin in disguise.

But there was something else that Song Miqiu found very puzzling. She looked up at the other person and asked, "Then why don't you do things for the Crown Prince openly, but instead disguise yourself and change your name?"

She found it very strange. If he didn't change his name easily, she would visit Yu Huailin during her leisure time in the palace.

Since he had met Yu Huailin, not the Crown Prince, the Eastern Palace didn't seem so scary with Yu Huailin there.

Song Miqiu looked at the other person with a completely bewildered expression.

Yu Huailin lowered his eyes, his gaze darkening.

Because of Song Miqiu's words, he instantly thought of some unpleasant things that had happened before.

He pursed his lips and explained in a low voice, "I changed my appearance and name simply because I didn't want to be a burden to you and your family."

Song Miqiu didn't know Yu Huailin's true background, only that Yu Huailin had been wanted before, but for some reason, the wanted notice was removed later.

“You spend every day in the Imperial Hospital and don’t go out with me often. You don’t know how dangerous some of the things I do are. If you come with me, you will definitely be implicated, and your life may be in danger.”

Song Miqiu hadn't expected Yu Huailin to make it sound so dangerous. She raised an eyebrow, quite interested in what Yu Huailin was doing.

Although she is afraid of death, she would definitely dare to charge into battle if her family was involved in a dangerous situation.

"Why would I be implicated? I was just doing something for the Crown Prince. How dangerous could it be?" Song Miqiu said nonchalantly.

Seeing this, Yu Huailin shook his head helplessly. He understood that it would be impossible to convince the other party in the short term that what he was doing was extremely dangerous.

That's good, though; the less they know, the less dangerous it is for Song Miqiu.

Seeing that Song Miqiu was still engrossed in the topic, Yu Huailin turned his head away, trying to change the subject: "As for the divorce you just mentioned, it's impossible in this lifetime."

It's impossible in a lifetime...

Song Miqiu was taken aback; Yu Huailin's words had completely interrupted his train of thought.

She raised her head in confusion, met Yu Huailin's gaze, and felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.

Song Miqiu was somewhat dazed. She hurriedly lowered her head, and her small ears, which were covered by her hair, slowly blushed. She felt her heart pounding.

With the table and medical books providing cover, Song Miqiu subconsciously pressed her hand to her heart. She felt her heart beating very fast, like a deer pounding in her chest.

Because of Yu Huailin's words, Song Miqiu began to get nervous.

She began to overturn her previous assumptions.

If you don't like it, why say such ambiguous things?

Furthermore, if they don't divorce, outsiders will think that Yu Huailin will be tied to the old woman for the rest of his life.

If he wanted to get away from this in the future, the old woman would be considered dead in this world, and Yu Huailin would become a widowed husband.

Could it be that, just as Tian Yumei said before, Yu Huailin has fallen in love with her?

Song Miqiu didn't dare to look up. She supported herself on the chair with both hands, and couldn't help but grip the edge of the chair.

Where she couldn't see, Yu Huailin coughed lightly, and a faint blush slowly rose on her cheeks and ears.

Once Song Miqiu had digested the information, she raised her eyes to look directly at the other person again. She swallowed and changed the subject back.

“You don’t need to worry about implicating us. You have secrets, and so do I. If we don’t tell each other, it’s the other person who will be dragged down.” Song Miqiu scratched her cheek.

After all, in her eyes, Yu Huailin's background was the only mystery, and there was nothing else about him.

But she has many secrets.

If Yu Huailin knew that her father's killers were the Emperor and Empress Dowager, that she was a time traveler, and that she even had a system...

There are too many mysteries surrounding her; if I were to tell Yu Huailin them all, he would surely not believe me.

Yu Huailin was stunned for a moment, not expecting Song Miqiu to comfort him in this way, and he found it somewhat amusing.

But now that everything has been discussed, their interactions won't be too awkward anymore.

Yu Huailin suddenly remembered the question Song Miqiu had asked him earlier, and the familiar tension resurfaced. He coughed lightly and looked at Song Miqiu's face as if he were looking through the human skin mask on her face to see the face behind it.

He nervously swallowed, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes obscuring the emotions in them, and couldn't help rubbing his fingers together. He slowly raised his eyes to look at the other person and asked in a joking tone, "Song Miqiu, there's something I'm very curious about."
