Chapter 269 I Hate You

Several days had passed, and the Eldest Miss seemed to have lost some weight. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and a faint sorrow hung on her cheeks, which were as smooth as jade. Her full bosom, slender waist, and small perky buttocks were still as upright and firm as ever. She had lost some of her arrogance, but gained a touch of melancholy. Compared to her usual self, she had a different kind of charm.

The Eldest Miss had just finished praying to the Buddha. Her words were simple, just a few sentences, but they sounded unusual to Lin Wanrong. The "bad guy" she missed— in the Eldest Miss's mouth, who else could be this "bad guy" other than him, the notorious Lin San? Judging from her tone, it seemed that she had some feelings for him— his heart suddenly started to thump. It was unexpected, too unexpected, it could be deadly.

"Who's there?" The hall was empty, and although Lin Wanrong's voice was soft, it was exceptionally clear in the Eldest Miss's ears. She didn't expect someone to be in the back hall, and she was startled. She quickly stood up and shouted.

Lin Wanrong secretly cursed his luck. What he feared had come true. Wasn't this intentional harassment? He came out with an awkward smile and waved to Xiao Yuruo, "Hi, Eldest Miss, how are you? How is the Second Miss? How is the Madam? How is Fubo? How are the brothers in the mansion?"

"Is it you?" Seeing the person who came out from behind was the one she had been thinking about in front of the Buddha, Xiao Yuruo was both shocked and embarrassed. Thinking about the words she had just said might have fallen into his ears, the Eldest Miss felt like fainting, and her heart was indescribable.

"It's not me, it's the Buddha, the Buddha is speaking." Lin Wanrong laughed dryly and added, "Don't worry, Eldest Miss, I didn't hear anything."

"It's you, it's you, it's definitely you. You did it on purpose." The Eldest Miss felt miserable. Looking at this annoying person, she didn't know what she was feeling, it was a mix of emotions. Tears fell down her cheeks, and she sobbed, "You deliberately hid here to laugh at me!"

‘This girl is too stubborn. I haven't developed the habit of eavesdropping on others' secrets.’ Seeing the Eldest Miss crying miserably, Lin Wanrong didn't know what to say. If it was like before today when he didn't know anything, it would be fine. But he had heard some things he shouldn't have at an inappropriate time, and was discovered by the Eldest Miss. This was really difficult to handle. He wasn't prepared for this. He slowly walked over and said softly, "Don't cry, I really didn't do it on purpose. The Madam came to find me this morning, saying that the Second Miss was missing. I was anxious, so I came here to look. I didn't know that while I was searching inside, you were checking outside. It was just a coincidence, it's that simple. As for the words you said, I didn't hear a single one!"

"Did you really not hear anything?" The Eldest Miss snorted. Looking at him, tears rolled down her cheeks, even more severe than before. It seemed that if he really didn't hear anything, it would be even more upsetting.

"No, no, absolutely not." Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, "Even if I heard it, I would definitely forget it all. I guarantee it with my reputation."

Looking at this Lin San who was both familiar and strange, the Eldest Miss couldn't hold back anymore. She rushed forward, raised her little fist, and hit his chest while crying loudly, "I told you not to hear, told you not to hear, told you not to hear, you bad guy, you won't be satisfied until you bully me to death—"

‘Truly invincible. Whether I say I didn't hear you or I did, either way, it's wrong. I have to take your punches, do you think I have it easy?’

The Eldest Miss was crying like rain, and her little fist hitting him felt like tickling.

‘So this girl really likes me a bit!’ Lin Wanrong was a little stunned, not knowing whether to be happy or worried. Thinking back on his interactions with the Eldest Miss, there were indeed some indescribable feelings mixed in. But the first impression he left on the Eldest Miss was that he was despicable and shameless, and the first impression she left on him was that she was high and mighty and unrealistic. The two of them didn't see eye to eye, like feuding enemies, neither willing to admit defeat. He never thought that the Eldest Miss would have feelings for him. If he hadn't accidentally overheard today, given the state between him and the Eldest Miss, he probably would never have thought about it in this direction. So, the first impression was really important.

He sighed lightly, feeling a sense of happy trouble. Seeing his strange expression, the Eldest Miss felt even more embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

After Lin Wanrong had figured all this out and thought back on the Eldest Miss's actions, he suddenly saw the light. It turned out that the girl's actions were not unreasonable, but rather too "reasonable".

He fully embodied the spirit of being loved for being cheap, and chuckled, "Miss, I really didn't hear it! Or, you can say it again, and I promise to remember every word."

The Eldest Miss's face turned red, and she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hummed, "You're dreaming, it's best if you didn't hear it, who would hope you heard it." Hearing his words seemed to have a hidden meaning, the Eldest Miss was extremely flustered, she didn't dare to look at him, her heart was pounding, and her face was burning.

Thinking of all the things between him and the Eldest Miss, Lin Wanrong sighed slightly, took her little hand and said, "Alright, stop making a fuss, there's enough chaos already, let's have a good talk first." Xiao Yuruo's little hand was warm and sweaty. Holding it in his hand was like a warm jade in warm water, incredibly soft and delicate.

Having her hand held by him, the Eldest Miss felt as if her heart was about to jump out, her body trembling slightly. She wanted to break free from him, but she couldn't muster the strength. It seemed as if she could hear her own heartbeat, her voice trembling slightly. She forced herself to suppress her shyness, tried to keep a straight face and said, "What—what are you going to say—you—you've never been so bad—"

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she couldn't speak anymore. Her powdered face was flushed, and she felt like she was on fire, making her lose all her strength. After stuttering out a sentence, she didn't even know what she had said, and she didn't have any confidence at all. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to let him see her burning face.

"I'm not at home, don't be harsh on the people below. It's easy to start a business but hard to maintain it. You should treat them well, so they can work wholeheartedly for you. Don't lose your temper at random." Lin Wanrong said casually.

The Eldest Miss opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but seeing his serious face, she couldn't open her mouth. Her face was as red as if it was about to drip water, and she bit her red lips. She hummed softly through her nostrils, and then seemed to be dissatisfied and raised her head, "Where did I treat them badly? It's just that I've been irritable lately, so I've been a bit too harsh. I didn't do anything wrong, and these people ran to complain to you!"

Her eyebrows were like spring water, her eyes like condensed ink. As she spoke, her cheeks were flushed, her chest heaving, as bright as the peach blossoms in March. Her aggrieved expression didn't look like a powerful woman in the business world, but rather showed all the charm of a shy girl.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. If the Eldest Miss was always this soft and watery, what a beautiful sight it would be.

"What are you looking at!" Xiao Yuruo felt unbearably shy in her heart. She wanted to maintain her dignity, but she couldn't keep a straight face. Her little hand, which was held by him, was full of sweat due to nervousness. "I—I'm going to find Yushuang." The Eldest Miss's face was a bright red, and she quickly lowered her head, speaking in a voice as small as a mosquito's.

"Let's go together." Lin Wanrong said. Thinking of Yushuang, he also became anxious. If he couldn't find that girl here, could it be that something really happened to her?

Seeing the worried expression on Lin San's face, the Eldest Miss thought of her relationship with him, and then thought of her sister's relationship with him. She was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Who wants to go with you, you have no shame." Hearing him speak, the Eldest Miss's heart trembled slightly. A sweet feeling surged in her heart, and she said without thinking.

She used all her strength to pull her little hand out of his big palm. Her face was radiant, and she no longer had the courage to look at him. She said softly, "I'm going to find Yushuang, you—you don't follow me, I hate you—"

‘If you hate me, you hate me. It would be strange if you don't.’ Lin Wanrong looked at the Eldest Miss and chuckled.

The Eldest Miss felt as if he had seen through her heart, her heart trembled, and a bright pink color appeared on her face. Her delicate body twisted slightly, and she ran straight out of the main hall. Her steps were very hurried, as if staying here for a moment longer would add to the danger.

‘This Eldest Miss, she sure knows how to run.’ Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly, watching the Eldest Miss's graceful figure, not knowing what to feel. Life is truly wonderful. Just yesterday, he was complaining about this Eldest Miss's temper, but today, he heard her true feelings. Although it didn't stun him, it did give him a sense of unreality.

"Miss, you're going the wrong way—" Seeing Xiao Yuruo rushing into the temple, clearly due to her emotional state, she hadn't discerned the direction properly. Lin Wanrong called out with a laugh.

"None of your business!" The Eldest Miss's face was flushed. She stopped and realized that she had indeed gone the wrong way in her haste. She stomped her foot in frustration, her face as red as the sunset, and turned to run out of the temple. When she got close to Lin Wanrong, she stole a glance at him, her face as bright as a peach blossom, and hummed, "You annoying person—"

She seemed to be both angry and resentful, her face flushed with a hint of embarrassment. Lin Wanrong was stunned, his heart stirred. When this Eldest Miss was enchanting, she was even more captivating than Sister An.

Seeing his gaze as bright as a torch, Xiao Yuruo didn't dare to stay any longer. She ran out without looking back, but her heart couldn't calm down.

Timing was everything. Seeing Xiao Yuruo leave the temple, Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, turned around, and donated a silver ingot for incense. He bowed to the Buddha with unprecedented devotion, "Thank you all for your generous help. When I return from the capital, I will rebuild golden statues for you all."

He was worried about Xiao Yushuang, so he searched carefully within the Qixia Temple, asking everyone he met, but he still didn't see the Second Miss. The vague feelings with the Eldest Miss were originally quite pleasant, but without finding Yushuang, he couldn't feel happy.

When he left the temple, the Eldest Miss was nowhere to be seen. Thinking about her current state of mind, she must be in a mess, how could she calm down to look for Yushuang? It was indeed hard for her.

While thinking about going back to call a meeting with Qingshan and Luo Yuan, and mobilizing the brothers in Hung Hing to search everywhere in the city to find Yushuang, he had already come to the lake in front of the Qixia Temple. The last time he was kidnapped and returned, it was here that he was about to get intimate with the Second Miss when he was caught by the Eldest Miss. At that time, he hated the Eldest Miss so much that his teeth itched. Now thinking about it, there are quite a few things to ponder and remember here.

The lake was calm and clear. His gaze swept casually and saw a young master sitting by the lake, his back to him, his face unclear. He was not tall, dressed in a light blue robe, his shoulders thin and weak, his hair bun up, revealing a long white neck and small jade-like ears.

This figure looked familiar, which family's young master was so handsome? Lin Wanrong took a closer look and was overjoyed. He walked over quietly and said softly, "Female donor, this poor monk has brought you tea—"

"No, no, where did this monk come from, disturbing my little—" The young master's voice was clear, but he suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly turned around and saw the face he had been longing for day and night. His eyes immediately filled with a thin layer of mist, "Lin San, is it really you—"

"Female donor, it's indeed this poor monk. Oh, female donor, you've hurt the old monk—"

The Second Miss suddenly threw herself into his arms, raised her little fist, and hit his chest hard, tears falling down her cheeks, "Annoying, annoying. You annoying bad guy, woo, I told you not to come find me, I'll kill you, and then die with you—"

He had just been beaten up in the temple by the Eldest Miss, and now he was being beaten up by the Second Miss. He could only laugh and cry: ‘The fate between me and these two sisters is really a bit strange.’

Holding Yushuang tightly in his arms, this girl was crying her heart out. The tears soaked both of their clothes, but the Second Miss cried even harder, like a floodgate had been opened. She sobbed almost to the point of fainting.

‘Why bother?’ Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart, ‘I brought this upon myself, poor Yushuang!’ He gently patted Yushuang's back and said softly, "Second Miss, don't cry anymore, it makes me feel bad when you cry—"

The Second Miss sniffed and said, "I'm going to cry, I'm going to cry, it's going to kill you, you heartless person. You're having a good time outside, very satisfied, you don't remember me at all, even if I cry to death, you won't care."

"How could I not think of you? I think about you every day, at night, when I eat, when I sleep." Sweet words came naturally to him, he sighed slightly and said, "Ah, Second Miss, you don't know, this time I went out, it was a matter of life and death, I almost didn't survive to come back."

The Second Miss was indeed distracted by his words, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to cry anymore. She clung to him tightly and said, "Lin San, what happened to you? Has someone been bullying you? Tell me, I'll bring General Zhenyuan to deal with him. Let's see who dares to bully you."

Lin Wanrong didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he was even more touched in his heart. He held her and said, "You don't need to worry, those who bullied me have already been dealt with by me. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. I have many people at my disposal now, and it's no problem to beat them to a pulp."

"You're bragging!" Hearing his relaxed tone, the Second Miss also broke into a smile. "When have you ever not bullied me? You should settle your own accounts."

Lin Wanrong laughed heartily, "How could I? I cherish you too much. How could I bear to bully the Second Miss?"

"You tell me, how long have you been back in Jinling, yet you never came to see me. I've been praying for you every day, staying in my room, and everyone in the mansion says I've changed." Xiao Yushuang's eyes were filled with tears, and she spoke in a wronged tone.

Thinking about it, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who used to be so lively and loved to play pranks, had become so sentimental after meeting him. He was indeed the root cause. Thinking about this, Lin Wanrong said seriously, "Yushuang, in the future, don't deliberately suppress yourself. Do whatever you want to do. I still like to see the carefree little girl you used to be."

Xiao Yushuang gave a shy smile and hummed, "As long as you don't bully me, I'll still be Yushuang. When have you ever not bullied me?" Seeing her teary eyes and smiling face, her age was indeed not big, but she was born with bright eyes and white teeth, extraordinarily beautiful, with an expression full of earnestness. She was completely different from the Eldest Miss, and Lin Wanrong felt a tickle in his heart. He chuckled, "Then I'll bully you for a lifetime, are you willing?"

Xiao Yushuang looked at him, her face full of surprise, and suddenly hugged his neck and said, "This is what you said, from now on we'll bully each other, and no one is allowed to leave the other." She stared blankly at him, then suddenly said, "Lin San, let's elope."

Lin Wanrong broke out in a cold sweat. This girl had come up with such a silly idea again. Was eloping fashionable? He laughed and said, "Eloping is a very tasteless act. We don't need to go that far yet, do we?" This was not a lie. Madam Xiao had already hinted at this, but because he was currently in a cold war with the Xiao family, he had postponed this matter.

"Who says we're not there yet?" The Second Miss pouted, "You've already quarreled with my sister like that. She won't even let you in the house, how could she allow our relationship?"

"Do you know about that? Ah, Second Miss, actually, things are not as complicated as you imagine."

The Second Miss hummed, "I heard from my sister that you brought two women back to Jinling. My sister was worried about me, so she kept you out of the house. Is that true?"

Regarding this matter, Lin Wanrong didn't intend to hide it from her. He nodded and said, "Yushuang, to be honest, I already have two intimate female friends in Jinling. I will never leave them, just as I will never leave you."

The Second Miss bit her lip and cried softly, "You heartless man, you're always affectionate everywhere. I've known for a long time, but I just can't help but like you. How can I stop you? I've given up my home for you. If you dare not want me, I'll die in front of you."

"Where, where. How could it be?" Lin Wanrong chuckled, holding the Second Miss in his arms and said, "By the way, how did you end up in this disguise and here? The Eldest Miss was just looking for you, did you see her?"

Yushuang bit him on the arm and hummed, "You're only asking now, I'm angry, I won't tell you."

"Then do you want me to marry you into my family?" Lin Wanrong chuckled.

The Second Miss's face flushed, and she lowered her head and said, "Now? I still want to go to the capital to study. Or, let's get married first—." She looked up and saw his teasing smile, and her face turned red. "You bad Lin San, you always bully me like this. I'll definitely bully you enough in the future."

After chatting with this innocent girl for a while, and letting go of his worries, Lin Wanrong was truly happy.

The Second Miss said, “Yesterday, I learned from the maids that you had returned. I was angry that my sister had been keeping it from me and had even turned you away from the door, so I went to argue with her. My sister seemed to be in a bad mood too. When I spoke to her, she also became somewhat agitated. I felt wronged at the time, so I thought to come find you.”

As she spoke of the events of the previous night, a look of grievance crossed Yushuang's face. "It was late at night, and I didn't know where to find you, so I had to wait until dawn to leave the house. To avoid attracting attention, I changed into this disguise after leaving the house and searched for you everywhere. But you, you were nowhere to be found. I had nowhere to go, so I thought of this place. I thought to myself, I'll just wait here for you. If you don't come in three days, I'll wait three days. If you don't come in three years, I'll wait three years. If you, a heartless man, never think of me, then there's no point in me living. I might as well freeze to death here."

This girl had the same stubborn nature as her sister. Lin Wanrong laughed and was moved. He patted her little face twice and said, "What nonsense are you talking about freezing to death? You're still young, you haven't tasted happiness yet. In the future, you'll become the happiest woman in the world—"

‘—One of them!’ These two words were only thought in his heart, but he couldn't say them out loud.

The Second Miss twisted him hard around the waist and hummed, "You always know how to sweet-talk people. I'm sure those two sisters of mine were also deceived by you." She leaned her head on Lin San's chest, smiled sweetly, and said softly, "But at least you still have some conscience, knowing to come here to find me, and even recognizing me. I saw my sister when she came earlier, and I deliberately hid from her. She looked strange when she left, just like how I look when I miss you. I don't know what's wrong. I couldn't bear it at the time and almost called out to her, but then I thought about how she treated you, and I held back. Lin San, I know my sister treated you like that, and you must feel wronged and upset. But I'm not feeling well either. My sister is doing this for my sake. I apologize to you on her behalf. Can you forgive her, please?"

Forgive? The problem now was much more complicated than that! He chuckled, "I've always had a bad memory. I forget everything when I wake up from sleep. Don't you know that, Second Miss?"

"How would I know? I've never slept with you—uh, annoying!" The Second Miss fell for his trick, punched him, and acted coquettishly in his arms.

Thinking about it, both of his wives were already at home, and it was only a matter of time before this girl Yushuang would join them. It was necessary for the few of them to meet and hold a joint meeting. He fiddled with the girl's smooth and jade-like little ear, leaned into her ear and said, "Your two sisters are now in a very fun place. There's a big boat there, and only the few of us are on it. No one can see us, and we can do whatever we want. I and your two sisters do some very fun things every day. Do you want to go see? I'll take you there, okay?"

"Okay—no!" The little girl was initially tempted, but then seemed to remember something, her face turned red, and she quickly denied, "You haven't married me openly yet, why should I go to your place? Are you planning to do something bad again?"

Sweat, ‘Do I look so much like a big bad wolf?’ Lin Wanrong laughed heartily, gave a thumbs up and said, "Second Miss, you're really vigilant. We won't go today, we'll go in the future."

The Second Miss grabbed his hand and said, "You once told me to learn more skills to help my mother and sister. During the days you were away, I started studying hard. Not only did I learn poetry and conversation, but I also learned the methods of calculation. When I get to the capital, I will also ask for a famous teacher. I, Xiao Yushuang, don't believe that I can't do what others can do."

Her expression was resolute, and her eyes shone with determination. Looking at her, she somewhat resembled Madam Xiao, but one could also see the shadow of the Eldest Miss. Lin Wanrong sighed inwardly, ‘This girl has grown up and has her own ideas. Hopefully, she can achieve what she wants when she gets to the capital.’

"Lin San, when I get to the capital, if I neglect you because I'm busy studying, you mustn't blame me, okay?" Xiao Yushuang leaned against him and said softly.

‘This girl, she's actually giving me a preventive shot.’ Lin Wanrong held her in his arms and laughed, "The more serious you are about your studies, the happier I will be. If you don't study hard, I will spank your little butt."

"Bad guy—" Yushuang's eyes misted over, remembering the past, she felt a hot sensation on her little buttocks, and quickly whimpered, snuggling shyly in his arms.

Holding the Second Miss, he suddenly thought of the various entanglements with the Eldest Miss in the temple today. A sense of romance rose in Lin Wanrong's heart. He had originally intended to steal just the Second Miss, but he had accidentally completed the task in excess. What should he do now? The Eldest Miss was a flower with thorns, and it hurt quite a bit to touch her.

After gently kneading the soft body in his arms for a while, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, his thoughts already flying somewhere else...
