Having A Baby System?!! - Arc 2.10 - Lin Heng

Lin Jianle did not expect...

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'Did Lin Heng just rebuffed me, my childhood friend'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'Why, ever since we first met, her treated me so kindly'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'He treated me just like the third prince Zhang Yu'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'But lately in the past few years his been acting distant and cold towards me'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'I thought it's because of my status of being Prince Zhang Yu's future consort'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'I thought that's why his being keeping distance from me'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'I thought he would treasure me like a good friend as before'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'I saw even sure that if I became Zhang Yu's bride, he would always be by my side'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'I thought he would always be my side and support me in silence'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'No, I refused to believe that Lin Heng changed'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'Ever since the announcement of his engagement with the daughter of the 2nd Rank Viscount Zhao, he was dejected'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'Even though he tried to hide his unwillingness, I noticed it'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'Everyone spoke about how weird it was because Lin Heng's status was higher than Zhao Meixu's'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'For a 2nd Rank Viscount's daughter to marry the Prime Minister son it had happened before, but it was still unique'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'With Lin Heng's rank, he could even marry a true royal blood princess if he wanted to'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'But the Prime Minister is a very humble, so it was not shocking that he agreed to the engagement'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'Everyone thought it was a waste for someone like Lin Heng to marry someone like Zhao Meixu's status as his main wife'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'I thought he was dejected for the same reason'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'I thought he was unwilling to marry'

Indeed, Lin Heng had been unwilling in the beginning

But no one would guess that upon his first sight of Zhao Meixu, that unwillingness had transformed to willingness

What Lin Jianle didn't know was that in the last four years

Meixu has engraved her image inside Lin Heng's heart through her letter, poorly drawn sketches, words , and poems

What Lin Jianle didn't know was that each time Meixu visited the capital for three short months

Lin Heng became more and more willing, more and more eager to obtain the Viscount's lovely daughter

What Lin Jianle didn't know was that the cold distance she had taken towards her in the past years as temporary phrase in their life

Was because the man had preoccupied his heart and mine with someone else

Lin Jianle (Fl)

Heng... *voice trembles*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

I-I'm only looking out for you

Lin Jianle (Fl)

And Lady Zhao's best interest....

Lin Jianle (Fl)

It's not proper even if she is your betroth to show such vulgar actions.....

No one, I mean no one thought Lin Heng's actions towards Zhao Meixu was vulgar

Instead, the men had been jealous and envious of Lin Heng being able to touch the beauty

Women had been jealous of the loving affection Lin Heng displayed to Meixu

Unfortunately, because of Lin Jianle's comment, people started to judge Meixu as a loose woman

On the other hand

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*smirks inside*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*trembles and nervous outside*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*Tries to pull away from Lin Heng*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*purposely trips over herself to make the man grab hold of her*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

L-Lin-gongzi

Zhao Meixu/Zade

'Hehehehe, hahahah woman, thank you for the opportunity'

Zhao Meixu/Zade

'I'm going to resort back to my old tricks to get a rise out of my hubby hehehe'

Zhao Meixu/Zade

P-Please let go-

Lin Heng

Vulgar actions? *eyes turn cold*

Lin Heng

*Looks straight at Lin Jianle*

Lin Heng

I didn't think Lady Lin saw this Lin Heng as a vulgar man

Lin Heng

'To protect Meixu, I need to put my own name to counter Lin Jianle's words and avoid the public from harming Meixu'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

H-Heng, I- *startled by his cold eyes and even colder tone*

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

Heng, Jianle didn't mean anything by it

Lin Heng

Didn't mean anything?

Lin Heng

*eyes turn to the third prince, revealing a storm behind the calmness*

Lin Heng

Then what did she mean exactly?

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*Shakes harder in Lin Heng's arm*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*Grips on his robe, telling him that she's afraid*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

Heng I-

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*finally realized how bad the situation was turning*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

I-Let me apologize

Lin Jianle (Fl)

I truly didn't mean badly of you or Lady Zhao

Lin Jianle (Fl)

We're friends, aren't we?

Lin Heng

*Doesn't reply to her*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

Heng, please *pleads softly*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

I'm sorry

Lin Jianle (Fl)

I-I was just looking out for you....

Lin Heng

I don't need you to *words turn more sharp and says firmly*

Lin Heng

Even thou we are friends, I hope you are more careful with your words

Lin Heng

I won't let Meixu suffer any grievance or harm because of your carelessness

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*dumbstruck*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'Did he use his firm and stern tone on me'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'The usual gentle and kind man that never reprimanded me for anything'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

'The man who has never treated me indifferently or looked at me with contempt'

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*shocked*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*reaches for Zhang Yu's sleeve to get protection and comfort*

She had wanted the prince to be like Lin Heng and shield her in his embrace like Lin Heng did with Zhao Meixu

Quiet a pity that Lin Jianle has always displayed herself as an independent and strong woman

Which was quite one of the main reasons why the third prince and Lin Heng were gradually attracted to her in the beginning

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

*sees Lin Jianle's hand on his sleeve*

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

'Is she silently pouting?'

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

*Misunderstood*

He didn't think a strong woman like Lin Jianle needed comfort or someone to protect her like the frail and dependent Zhao Meixu

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

Heng is right Jianle

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

*gently pats Fl's head*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*Dissatisfied in her heart cause of Zhang Yu's words*

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

You'll be my princess consort one day

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

You must adhere to what you are saying Jianle

Zhang Yu sincerely hoped that his beloved would heed warning to his and Lin Heng's words

As the future princess and highly potential Empress, Lin Jianle would be judged by what she says and does

If she would say something wrong, she would be mentally attacked

The third prince knew the hardships and dangers of the inner palace and had warned Lin Jianle on several occasions already to be vigilant

But she always only listens but does not adhere to his warnings

Always believing that she was strong enough to live inside the inner palace

Her confidence had assured Zhang Yu once

Now, he desperately wonders if she truly understood the meaning of the inner palace

Lin Jianle (Fl)

I understand....

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*hits her bitterness inside and looks at Lin Heng with a warm smile*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

I apologize again.

Lin Jianle (Fl)

Please forgive me this once Lin Heng

Lin Heng

*softens expression*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*Saw and relieved*

But did Meixu give Lin Jianle the chance to let her breathe out a breath of relief

Zhao Meixu/Zade

Lin-gongzi Meixu needs to go back home

Lin Heng

*highly unwilling to part with Meixu*

Lin Heng

*pleads to her quietly*

Lin Heng

*asks her to stay longer*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*stays adamant*

Zhang Yu (Third Prince)

*Also tries to plead*

Lin Jianle (Fl)

*also joins the others and pleads to join them for a meal*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*Politely declines their offer*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*expression shows clearly that she was still nervous*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*eyes keep glancing around back and forth like a lost bunny*

Lin Heng

*Saw and causing chaos in his heart*

Lin Heng

Let me take you home

Lin Heng

*Tries to hold Meixu's hand*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*refuses and tightly graspes the Plum Blossom branch with both hands*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

Lin-gongzi...

Zhao Meixu/Zade

Meixu has her guards nearby, so she'll be fine

Zhao Meixu/Zade

*keeps proper distance*

Zhao Meixu/Zade

Please do not worry

Lin Heng

Please *pleads quietly*

Lin Heng

Let me take you home

Only when Meixu gave a quiet nod Lin Heng let out a soft sigh of relief

When Lin Heng guided Meixu away

He didn't bother to bid farewell to both Lin Jianle and Zhang Yu

While Zhang Yu shook his head in amusement

He missed the upset expression on Lin Jianle's face
