Mother Qin stated her intentions plainly, and Lin Ziran replied equally straightforwardly, "Madam Qin, I'm afraid you have miscalculated. Even if I continue to be with Qin Qingnan, I won't use my relationship with the Queen to gain any benefits for the Qin Family.
My feelings for the Queen are pure, and my feelings for Qingnan are also pure, devoid of any vested interests. If you agree to maintain this marriage with such an aim, then I'm sorry, you may continue to oppose our being together."
After speaking, Lin Ziran turned and left.
Mother Qin didn't expect Lin Ziran to reject her so flatly. She had been candid, as if speaking to her own family, yet Lin Ziran had refused her.
Mother Qin stared at Lin Ziran's back, trembling, and muttered, "This woman doesn't know what's good for her!"
