"I’m not conflicted," Nangong Lin replied. In fact, her attitude has always been clear. She’s made it very clear to Alvin; Alvin’s identity here is really something that can be seen as both light and heavy.
If he could give up his status as a Prince for love, could she really enjoy it with a clear conscience?
To put it bluntly, she’s still a bit cowardly, isn’t she?
"You like Alvin, right?" Li Hui suddenly asked.
Nangong Lin was stunned for a moment, but ultimately knew she couldn’t argue, and just nodded, "I don’t dislike him."
"Then you like him." Li Hui tugged at the corner of her lips, "But it’s just liking. You haven’t reached the point of deep love where it’s him or no one else. Since you’ve chosen to step back, don’t regret it in the future."
"Mm." Nangong Lin nodded, and tiredly closed her eyes.
"Alright then, help Xiaolin pack up." Nangong Tiancheng said, "Let’s go back home. We’ll just bring the doctor over."
"Okay," Li Hui replied, "You can go out first, I’ll pack."
"Okay." Nangong Tiancheng got up and went back.
Li Hui found some pants for Nangong Lin, and Nangong Lin put them on.
"Daughter, can you walk?" Li Hui asked with concern.
"I can, Mom. It’s just a burn, not a big deal," Nangong Lin replied.
"Alright, then let’s go back," Li Hui supported Nangong Lin.
The three of them left the hospital. Of course, Nangong Lin went back to live at the Nangong Family’s home, and the apartment over there became truly empty.
But escaping is not the solution to a problem. After thinking for a while, the Queen cautiously spoke up, "Son, have you really fallen in love with Nangong Lin now?"
Upon hearing this, Alvin raised his eyes to the Queen, remained silent, and after a moment of silence, replied honestly, "I can’t say if I’m in love, but I quite like her. I want to be with her."
Hearing Alvin say this, the Queen should have been very happy, but seeing Alvin like this, she couldn’t feel happy.
Because Alvin has followed her wish and liked Nangong Lin, but the attitude of Nangong Lin and the Nangong Family is obvious...
This is undoubtedly a blow to her son who has just experienced the pain of unrequited love, and now again he experiences heartbreak. The dual setbacks really exhaust a person, even make one doubt life.
"Does Xiaolin also like you, right? Not being with you is because your identity makes her feel pressured, and she doesn’t want to marry so far away, let alone into the Royal Family. She feels the Royal Family is a burden, and it would be tiring, right?" the Queen asked again.
"Yes," Alvin nodded, "That’s the case. I said I could stay in the Empire, not be a Prince, but she felt even more pressured. Mom, I’m really sad, really sad, why won’t those I like be with me, why? Is there something not good enough about me?"
