Chapter 275 - 275: Adopted Daughter
“Brother Nie Yin, are you feeling better?” Li Han sat on the chair beside Nie Yin shyly and glanced at Nie Yin’s face from time to time.
Back then, when Wen Qiong and Nie Yin got engaged, Li Han was furious!
However, she had always paid attention to her status as the daughter of the Li family and didn’t let her emotions show. She wasn’t like Li Ling, who pestered Nie Yin all day long and didn’t act like a noble lady at all!
At that time, Li Han often thought about how good it would be if Wen Qiong was no longer around!
Nie Yin was who all the daughters of famous families in the five continents lusted after. He was the number one genius in the five continents!
Now that Wen Qiong was gone and that annoying Li Ling had disappeared for a long time, it was finally her turn!
Li Han didn’t hide her desire at all, but Nie Yin looked at Li Han coldly.
This woman was really stupid!
She didn’t even know that she was going to die in Wen Qiong’s place!
If not for his need to have a marital alliance with the Empire, how could he be with such a foolish woman?!
Although Nie Yin was impatient deep down, his expression was filled with warmth.
“I haven’t been feeling well recently, so 1 can’t accompany you. I still need you to come to the residence to visit me personally!” Nie Yin said as he coughed heavily a few more times.
If not for Li Han sending people to invite him to the palace every other day and sending her maidservant to check on Nie Yin’s health from time to time, Nie Yin wouldn’t have invited Li Han into the residence!
This woman was simply a troublemaker!
Li Han couldn’t sense Nie Yin’s displeasure at all. She was filled with joy and thought that Nie Yin also had feelings for her, so he still wanted to see her despite feeling unwell.
“Brother Nie Yin, don’t worry. Aunt… Mother said that she will send a spiritual doctor to nourish your body! You will definitely recover as soon as possible! At that time…” Li Han lowered her eyes shyly.
“At that time, we can get engaged as soon as possible!”
Hearing Li Han’s shy words, Nie Yin felt nauseous.
He looked at Li Han’s lowered head coldly, but when Li Han secretly looked up at him, his expression instantly changed into a gentle one.
“I’ll definitely recuperate as soon as possible! You have to listen to the queen. Don’t make her angry!” Nie Yin instructed Li Han in case she caused trouble again.
Li Han thought that Nie Yin was worried that if she angered the queen, the queen would refuse to let the two of them get engaged.
She smiled shyly and said with a blush, “I know! Before we get engaged, 1’11 definitely listen to her arrangements!”
“Although my foster mother didn’t let me see you, she was probably worried about your health, so she allowed me to visit you this time!” Li Han said as she looked at Nie Yin with an aggrieved expression.
“If you hadn’t asked me to go to the royal family to accompany my foster mother when she was sad, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have…” Li Han revealed a shy smile again and was secretly happy that Nie Yin had created this opportunity for her.
Back when Wen Qiong had just died of illness, the royal family didn’t publicize this matter.
Nie Yin found Li Han immediately, but only told her that the queen had been in a bad mood recently and asked her to go to the palace to accompany the queen more often.
Only then did she discover that something had happened to Wen Qiong. The moment she returned to the Li family, she told the First Elder about this.
The First Elder asked her to keep it a secret and not tell outsiders.
Li Han also knew that as long as the royal family didn’t announce this matter, outsiders couldn’t discuss it, so she could only give up.
But soon, the queen kept asking her to come to the court, and she cried for a while every time she saw her.
Finally, one day, the queen looked at her with a gratified expression and asked her if she wanted to become her adopted daughter.
At that time, Li Han realized that Nie Yin had suggested that the queen take her in as her adopted daughter so that she could relieve the pain of losing her daughter..
