At first, Xie Heng only thought that Ling Yuan was a vulgar and presumptuous woman.
She was sent to the countryside for seven years, and now she was brought back. Her noble status as a poor man and a rich man did not teach her the dignity that a noble girl should have.
She always looked at him directly and hotly, being frank and never hiding it.
The eyes she looked at him were always fiery and focused.
Every time he was angry, she would always be the first to tilt her head, with a slight smile on her lips, and call him gently and obediently, "Thank you, Master."
Being opportunistic and acting stupid.
He hated her with all his heart, and used up all the evil and resistance outside of his noble self-cultivation.
Later, they were forced to get married.
But she didn't seem to be displeased in the slightest, she was still as supple as ever, holding her chin up and watching him calmly, not knowing what to avoid.
He made a three-part agreement with her, to keep her in his arms and live their lives as respectful guests.
But she broke the rules many times - one day she exceeded the entrance limit, the next day she forgot to avoid suspicion, and the next day she stayed in his study until late at night.
He taught, punished, and asked her to respond personally, but she turned around and forgot, never taking it to heart.
He thought he would never be able to tolerate her temperament, which was as erratic as a kite.
Until a palace banquet, his eldest brother who was supposed to have died in the water disaster reappeared in front of everyone.
He lowered his eyes to pour the wine, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Ling Yuan's back stiffen, her eyes passing through the crowd, looking at them intently, without blinking.
His half-brother.
The facial features are very similar to his.
He remembered that on the day the Shen family's legitimate daughter was brought back, his father always told him to come and see her.
At that time, he just felt inexplicable why a woman for no reason wanted him to take care of her more.
But if it was his eldest brother's fiancée who died long ago, everything would make sense.
#Gentle, alienated, paranoid noble lady* the legitimate son of the glorious Jiyue family
#Paranoid pretending to be a good little liar* Arrogant and alienated son of aristocratic family
#1v1, sc, he
#A person who needs others to wait meets the person who can wait for him best.
Intention: Waiting and self-rescue
