I insist

Chapter 231: No More Interference

Yu Huailin's actions forced Song Miqiu to meet his probing gaze. Helpless, Song Miqiu could only raise her arms in surrender, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything!"

After she finished speaking, Song Miqiu felt the hand on her chin loosen. She pursed her lips and quietly confessed the matter to Yu Huailin.

However, the two of them were very close, and even if Song Miqiu spoke softly, Yu Huailin could hear exactly what the other was saying.

After listening to everything Song Miqiu said, Yu Huailin's expression grew increasingly grim. Seeing that no one was around, he whispered a reprimand: "You shouldn't have eavesdropped!"

Yu Huailin deliberately separated his residence from Song Miqiu's so that when they wanted to investigate him, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to Song Miqiu.

In addition, there are some things that Song Miqiu shouldn't know. The less she knows, the longer she can live!

"Have you thought about what you'll do if Zhang Jiesheng finds out about you?" Yu Huailin said through gritted teeth, gripping Song Miqiu's wrist with one hand and increasing the pressure.

"If I plead for you, Zhang Jiesheng will definitely discover the truth about our relationship, and then you'll be in big trouble, you know that!" Yu Huailin roared in a low voice.

Zhang Jiesheng now sees him as a thorn in his side, but he hasn't taken action yet. It's unclear what his weakness is. In his previous desperate attempt to ask the Crown Prince to get Song Miqiu out of prison, he had already aroused Zhang Jiesheng's suspicion.

If he hadn't worked hard to dispel Song Miqiu's doubts later, Song Miqiu would probably still be living under Zhang Jiesheng's surveillance.

Thinking about how Song Miqiu was still running around and eavesdropping, if he were Zhang Jiesheng, Song Miqiu would have been arrested by now. Did she want to experience what it felt like to be arrested again?!

After being scolded by Yu Huailin, Song Miqiu lowered her head, fully aware that she had done something wrong.

At the same time, she could feel the grip on her wrist getting tighter and tighter. Song Miqiu frowned and tried to pull her wrist back, but the other person's strength was too great, and she couldn't pull it back at all.

Seeing that the other person looked very angry, Song Miqiu subconsciously grabbed Yu Huailin's arm and shook it gently, her tone softening, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?"

Although Song Miqiu was still wearing the mask, in Yu Huailin's eyes, the old man's mask on Song Miqiu's face seemed to be gone.

Seeing the other person begging for forgiveness, Yu Huailin had never been treated like this before, and he forgave them instantly. He freed one hand, put it to his mouth and coughed lightly, turning his face to the side to force himself to calm down.

"You know you made a few mistakes, but you're not allowed to repeat them in the future."

Seeing the other person's expression, Song Miqiu found it quite amusing. She poked the other person's arm, signaling Yu Huailin to let go of her wrist, "It hurts from being held by you for so long."

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's words, Yu Huailin realized that he had been holding the other person's hand the whole time, and he was so frightened that he quickly let go of her arm.

His gaze lingered on Song Miqiu's arm, noticing the red mark left where he had pinched her, clearly visible against her fair skin. A pang of heartache shot through Yu Huailin's heart.

Yu Huailin unconsciously rubbed the red mark on Song Miqiu's wrist with his fingers and asked in a low voice, "Did it hurt a lot when I pinched you just now?"

"It hurts so much," Song Miqiu muttered. She never liked to play those ironic words. Since the other party asked, she was determined to say it hurt. This would evoke the other party's guilt and thus bring up the topic she had been asking.

Yu Huailin led Song Miqiu into the house. He pressed Song Miqiu down onto a wooden chair, while he sat down beside her. Looking at Song Miqiu's aggrieved expression, he subconsciously asked her a question.

What brings you here all of a sudden?

Song Miqiu, recalling her own thought process after following him, immediately shared it with the other person, "Wasn't it because I was afraid you'd be made things difficult by Zhang Jiesheng?"

She was worried about Yu Huailin's situation, so she thought that since he had come, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Thinking of Zhang Jiesheng's people, Song Miqiu placed her hand on the back of Yu Huailin's hand and earnestly advised, "I can see that you and Zhang Jiesheng probably have some hatred between you, but it's not good to offend Zhang Jiesheng. Although he works under the Crown Prince, in the end, the power behind him is much stronger than ours!"

Seeing the person in front of him rambling on and on, Yu Huailin explained helplessly, "It's Zhang Jiesheng who's petty. He schemes against me for everything and takes it out on me."

At this point, a hint of guilt flashed across Yu Huailin's eyes. After all, he was largely to blame for this incident, as he was the one who had caused it. He had only wanted to get back at Zhang Jiesen, which was why the Crown Prince had shifted the blame onto Zhang Jiesen.

As expected, the other party came knocking on his door, but Yu Huailin was not afraid and confronted them directly.

Listening to Yu Huailin's words, Song Miqiu narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Based on her understanding of Yu Huailin, she figured there must be more reasons than just these.

Remembering how mysterious Yu Huailin always seemed, Song Miqiu chose to directly question him, "So, what exactly are you planning to do? You've always seemed so secretive."

Faced with Song Miqiu's questioning, Yu Huailin retorted without any hesitation, "And what about you?"

"What do you mean?" Song Miqiu blinked, not understanding Huailin's question.

Yu Huailin raised his hand and placed it on Song Miqiu's face. He looked down at her beautiful face and said in a deep voice, "Why did you take over the identity of the original old woman? And that Qingzhi, he is obviously skilled and experienced, but you usually stay in the Imperial Hospital and at home. Why did you need to train a bodyguard?"

Before Song Miqiu could even ask Yu Huailin about the matter, the other party launched into a barrage of questions, leaving Song Miqiu completely bewildered as to what was going on.

She blinked again, her face full of panic as she faced Huai Lin. Song Miqiu swallowed hard, her expression changing from panic to helplessness.

Song Miqiu realized that she and Yu Huailin had some little secrets that the other didn't want to know.

She thought for a while, then removed her hand from her face. Song Miqiu met Yu Huailin's eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then continued, "How about we make a deal?"

"What is it?"

Song Miqiu raised her chin and gestured in a certain direction, "Since neither of us should know about the other's affairs, why don't we agree to not ask each other about them?"
