Shui Qianqian’s question was like a bomb. It was so sudden that it caused Rong Jin’s expression to change drastically. He gazed deeply at Shui Qianqian as his eyes shone in a complicated light.
After a long while of not hearing Rong Jin’s reply, Shui Qianqian pursed her lips and started feeling anxious.
Sometimes, she felt that although they were engaged, Rong Jin might not have been very willing.
Both of them remained silent.
The reason why she plucked up her courage was because she wanted to use Rong Jin’s strength to obtain power, and it was also because she liked him.
She recalled what Elder Sister Bixue told her. People had to become braver for love.
That was why she said those words. No matter the conclusion, at least she wouldn’t have any regrets.
Time ticked by, and the room was silent other than the sounds of the howling wind and pattering rain outside. This time, Shui Qianqian didn’t try to hide, opting to look straight at Rong Jin to observe his expression.
Although she couldn’t tell much, she knew that Rong Jin’s heart must be in a turmoil.
Suddenly, Shui Qianqian’s expression shifted, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a self-deprecating smile. “Rong Jin, if you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. If you’re dissatisfied with this engagement, I can cancel it publicly and grant you a free life. You’re not young anymore. If you have someone you like, you can marry her, and I will give you my blessings.”
Shui Qianqian was an objective person. Even if he didn’t want to marry her, she wouldn’t hate him personally for it. Rong Jin was a good man who had the capabilities of a politician and cared for the people of the country.
“Okay.”
When Rong Jin agreed, Shui Qianqian couldn’t help the throbbing pain in her heart.
Her fists were clenched tightly by her sides as her fingernails dug into her palm. Her heart was in turmoil. It seemed as if she overestimated herself.
“Okay. Make arrangements for a press conference. I will cancel it during the conference.” After speaking, Shui Qianqian turned around, unwilling to look at Rong Jin any longer.
She wanted to use this chance to make her citizens remember her. She would use her own strength to secure the queen’s influence.
Rong Jin was startled, and his expression shifted. In a few strides, he walked up and grabbed her wrist. “What I meant was that I will marry you.”
Shui Qianqian was shocked. She blinked. Was this…?
“When I said okay, I was agreeing to marry you.”
Shui Qianqian nodded her head. She wasn’t as excited as she thought she would be and her heart was calm.
“Then, let’s fix a date soon!”
“Okay. Let’s wait till the weather is cooler. It’s almost summer now. People may get a heat stroke due to the heat.”
“Okay. Also, I want to attend the discussions in the court in the future. Also, that plane had no choice but to land. As the queen of Country M, I have to show concern for them. Send people over to gift them some supplements!”
Rong Jin was truly stunned upon hearing Shui Qianqian’s words, and his expression showed everything.
“What is it? I can’t do that?”
“You can. I will make arrangements for it.”
“Okay. I will leave it up to you then. I’m a little tired now and wish to rest.” Shui Qianqian waved her arm and yawned.
Rong Jin’s expression shifted. Casting one last deep look at Shui Qianqian, he turned to leave.
The next day at Zhong Lan Hospital Ward, Country M’s high ranking officials personally came to visit Yun Bixue, gifting her with supplements and even ordered the doctors to take good care of her.
