Chapter 551: I’ll Be in Your Care, Young Master Lin

“If I haven’t guessed wrong, that Senior must have sent Your Majesty here.”

Looking at the woman before him, Lin Xun spoke with a smile.

Her thoughts exposed, the Ice Snow Empress simply lowered her head, neither refuting nor admitting to Lin Xun’s words.

However, the Ice Snow Empress’s lack of denial was a form of tacit admission.

“So, if Your Majesty the Empress doesn’t want to do this, you can actually tell Senior directly.

If it’s inconvenient for Your Majesty to say it personally, I can go and speak with Senior instead.

Regardless, that Senior is Your Majesty’s grandmother; I’m sure she would understand.”

“No… that won’t do…”

Hearing that Lin Xun wanted to find her grandmother, the Ice Snow Empress hurriedly waved her hands in refusal.

“Is Your Majesty the Empress very afraid of your grandmother?” Lin Xun asked.

When the Ice Snow Empress had met her grandmother earlier, she was like a little kitten encountering a tigress.

The Ice Snow Empress interlaced her fingers in front of her and nodded honestly, without any pretense.

“Since I was young, Grandmother has been the one who raised me.

Whether it was my cultivation or anything else, she taught me everything personally.

Grandmother is usually very strict with me, but I know it’s her way of showing love.

And after becoming the Ice Snow Empress, I also bear the responsibility for the survival of the snow spirit clan.

Actually, how should I put it… Grandmother has long wanted to marry me off.

So even if it wasn’t Young Master Lin, it would actually be the same.

It’s just that Grandmother is extremely fond of Young Master Lin.

Furthermore, this matter concerns our snow spirit clan. If I don’t marry Young Master Lin, it would be a form of irresponsibility toward the snow spirit clan on my part.

I know that I don’t really like Young Master Lin that much.

But Grandmother said I could give it a try.

So, I will try to interact with Young Master Lin.

If it doesn’t work out, then we can talk about it later. Regardless, I don’t want to disappoint Grandmother.”

Hearing the Ice Snow Empress’s words, Lin Xun shook his head.

“Your Majesty, you don’t actually like me at all.

Is it really good for Your Majesty to force yourself to be with me and interact with me when you don’t like me?

You don’t want to disappoint your grandmother, but in the end, we won’t be together anyway.

Because there is no emotional foundation or structure between the two of us.

So, Grandmother will end up disappointed anyway.

Moreover, cooperation isn’t limited to becoming a married couple.

We can cooperate if we have common interests.

Even if there are no common interests, as long as we are friends, I will definitely help.

Personally, I quite like the snow spirit clan. The snow spirit clan doesn’t have as many hidden agendas as others.

Therefore, our cooperation can be established without Your Majesty the Empress having to demean yourself for me.”

“Re-really?”

Hearing Lin Xun’s words, a glimmer of light flashed in the Ice Snow Empress’s eyes.

“Of course it’s true.”

Seeing the Ice Snow Empress’s reaction, Lin Xun couldn’t help but smile.

“Actually, I told you before.

Our cooperation isn’t just about marriage.

There are other forms.

But for some reason, I always feel that the snow spirit clan is somewhat stubborn.

Even though I’ve said this, you all seem to insist that you must marry me. It’s truly something I can’t quite understand.

So, if possible, I hope Your Majesty the Empress can explain it to your grandmother.

Regarding the cooperation, there is absolutely no problem. As for whether we marry or not, that’s another matter.”

Hearing Lin Xun’s words, the Ice Snow Empress gazed at him, her eyes blinking.

For some reason, in the Ice Snow Empress’s eyes, Lin Xun suddenly seemed much more agreeable.

Not just more agreeable, but within her chest, her little heart began to beat slightly faster.

“It was my grandmother who told me to come and serve Young Master Lin.

Whether or not to get along with Young Master Lin is one thing.

But whether I do it out of my own will is another.

Since I promised Grandmother that I would spend a month with Young Master Lin, then I will give it a try.”

The Ice Snow Empress’s gaze gradually became firm as she looked at Lin Xun.

As she spoke, she stood up and looked at him seriously. Her milky-white, long legs were pressed tightly together, without leaving a single gap.

“Young Master Lin, during this month, I will get along well with you.

Furthermore, I will use this time to get to know Young Master Lin properly.

If possible, I also ask that Young Master Lin take this month to get to know me properly.

If we truly find ourselves compatible, then becoming husband and wife is not impossible.”

“No, Your Majesty, I already have…”

“I know Young Master Lin already has someone he likes.”

Just as Lin Xun was halfway through his sentence, the Ice Snow Empress directly interrupted him.

“But as my grandmother said, it doesn’t matter even if Young Master Lin has someone he likes.

It is nothing for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and I have no intention of fighting for the position of the primary wife.

So, regardless, this is a chance for myself, and also a chance for our Ice Snow Country.”

“…”

Seeing the Ice Snow Empress’s determined expression, Lin Xun didn’t know what to say for a moment.

If he were to reject the Ice Snow Empress now, it felt like something would be wrong.

But if he didn’t reject her, that also seemed quite wrong.

“Alright, then let’s spend a month together and see.”

Ultimately, Lin Xun agreed to the Ice Snow Empress’s request.

Anyway, he would just try it for a month.

If it didn’t work after a month, then they would talk.

In Lin Xun’s view, even with a one-month trial, it definitely wouldn’t work.

But regardless, agreeing to her was a way of giving her a chance.

This way, after a month, the Ice Snow Empress would give up.

Furthermore, she would have a proper explanation for her grandmother.

At least it would show she had truly tried her best.

Everything would be his responsibility—that he truly didn’t like her.

After receiving Lin Xun’s promise, a glimmer of light flashed in the Ice Snow Empress’s eyes.

The Ice Snow Empress clutched her collar and bowed to Lin Xun.

“Then for this month, I’ll be in your care, Young Master Lin.”
