Chapter 493 Ambiguity
Chapter 493 Ambiguity
The two subordinates quarreled with each other, and not only did they not get the benefits they wanted, but they were also beaten at the same time, just like two brothers who were slapped in the face.
'Dad' treated them all fairly, and no one was scolded less. He also planned to divide the 'family property' among them fairly. Even if they felt resentful, they could not object and had to take on the task of earning the family fortune.
"Commander-in-chief, I'm leaving now."
The two left reluctantly, glaring at each other as they walked out the door, looking as if they disliked each other.
Song Ruize was about to ask the two to close the door when he saw another subordinate coming to report on their work progress. Song Ruize grabbed the cloak beside him and threw it under the table, cushioning Qin Huiyin so that she could change into a more comfortable position.
Qin Huiyin also felt uncomfortable like this, so she changed her position and lay in his arms, as obedient as a kitten.
Song Ruize's fingers ran across the carefully maintained hair, and he couldn't let go of it no matter how much he touched it.
Why does Yinyin smell so good?
So soft.
so cute.
It would be nice if she could stay with me every day.
Just stay in his arms like this, don't go anywhere.
"Commander-in-chief..." The subordinate who was reporting on his work across the street saw that Song Ruize hadn't responded for a long time and called him in confusion, "Did my subordinate say something wrong?"
Song Ruize said calmly, "Although that area is full of dilapidated houses, someone has bought the land and wants to build a house there, but the refugees there cannot be forcibly driven away. They must be settled first, and then the house can be demolished. Otherwise, the refugees will have no place to live and will inevitably live there secretly, and various dangers cannot be guaranteed. You should discuss this matter with the person who bought the land first, and then start construction after the agreement is reached."
"Yes."
The man left, and just as Qin Huiyin was about to come out, someone else came in.
She pouted and looked at Song Ruize sadly.
A smile flashed in Song Ruize's eyes. He hooked her nose, his eyes full of mischief.
Qin Huiyin's cheeks flushed and she avoided his gaze.
As his subordinate walked over, Song Ruize bent down, approached her, and said, "Will you follow me next time?"
Qin Huiyin looked at the handsome face so close to her, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.
The moment he suddenly came closer, her breathing became disordered and her heartbeat quickened.
Song Ruize looked at her rosy cheeks, his eyes deepened.
His fingers gently stroked her cheek, as if admiring a fine work of art, his eyes lingering.
Qin Huiyin looked into those eyes.
Are his brother's eyes always full of affection when he looks at everyone?
No wonder the county lady kept pestering him.
Thinking of this, my heart felt blocked and I lowered my head to bite his fingers.
"Hmm..." Song Ruize groaned.
My breathing is disordered.
Qin Huiyin reacted and quickly let him go.
"Brother Ze..." Jiang Qibin walked in.
Song Ruize calmed his breath and looked at Jiang Qibin across from him: "What's wrong?"
"County Master Minghua is here."
Song Ruize frowned: "Do these royal ladies think that we, the military officers, are their dogs, with nothing else to do except barking at them?"
"I think this Lady Minghua is quite polite. I heard that the military headquarters doesn't allow outsiders to enter, so she's waiting at the door. But she is the daughter of the eldest princess after all, a member of the royal family. We can't just leave her there unattended. You still have to deal with her. But Brother Ze, you have to think it over. If she doesn't want to be the Lady's husband, you have to make her give up the idea as soon as possible. Otherwise, Tang Yichen's present will be your future, and it will be very troublesome to deal with."
"I see. I'm busy today, so tell her. The prince will invite me to play polo in three days, and I'll go then."
"Okay, I'll go tell her now." Jiang Qibin finished speaking, then thought of something and continued, "If you want her to give up, just rejecting her isn't enough. Otherwise, find a woman and act out a scene, saying you already have a fiancée and won't marry anyone else. Or go to a brothel and spend your days drinking and having sex, letting everyone know you're a playboy and not someone they can trust their whole life to. And... there's another, cruelest option. Just say you're not good enough and can't marry a woman."
"Get out!" Song Ruize grabbed the booklet on the table and threw it over.
Jiang Qibin was used to joking with Song Ruize on a daily basis. Since there was no one else in the room, they could speak without restraint.
However, there was someone else in this room, and there was someone close to his heart.
She heard all those dirty words, how could he not be angry?
Jiang Qibin went out with a smile.
"Close the door."
"Very well, my lord."
After Jiang Qibin closed the door, Song Ruize pulled Qin Huiyin out.
She had been lying there for too long and her body was a little stiff. When she slowly crawled out, her legs and feet became uncontrollable.
She sat beside him and rubbed her knees.
Song Ruize placed his hand on her knee, rubbed it gently, and said, "Will you dare to follow me again in the future?"
"Why not?" Qin Huiyin said stubbornly.
"Okay, you dare to go anywhere." Song Ruize smiled lightly.
The attendant brought the food city's account book and placed it next to Song Ruize.
"You guard the door well. If anyone comes, inform them in advance and don't let them break in."
"Yes."
Song Ruize's palm was still kneading Qin Huiyin's knee.
"I'm fine." Qin Huiyin said, "You still have so many books to deal with, just go ahead and do your thing! I won't bother you anymore."
Song Ruize was handling official business while Qin Huiyin was reviewing the account books. The two were busy with their own things and the room was unusually quiet.
However, Qin Huiyin's mind kept popping up with what Jiang Qibin had just said.
The Lady of Minghua County was of noble birth and good looks. If it were another man, he would have eagerly approached her. Song Ruize tried every possible way to avoid her, unwilling to have anything to do with her. Was it simply because he didn't like her?
If Lady Minghua fights and snatches it, can he still refuse?
Princess Minghua was different from Princess Yuanying. Although I had only met her a few times, I could tell her character was much better than Princess Yuanying's.
It's like a veil between a girl and a boy. If she keeps chasing Song Ruize like this, will he really not be moved?
Song Ruize noticed that there was no movement beside him, so he turned around and saw her biting the tip of the pen and staring blankly.
Song Ruize took the pen from her hand and said, "When did you develop this bad habit? You chew the pen tip when you're daydreaming, and you don't even mind it getting dirty."
Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize nagging like an old father, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, taking care of her like a child.
She suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"I'm not a kid."
Why treat her like a child?
Sure enough, the kiss before was the farewell kiss from the 'father' to his daughter.
She was still thinking about random things for a long time. What was there to think about?
Could it be that she is still worried about what her brother thinks of her?
Please, if he doesn't even like a woman like Lady Minghua, how could he like this 'little girl' he has seen since childhood?
Since ancient times, the more familiar someone is, the less feeling you have towards them, because they are too familiar and there is no sense of novelty at all.
