Chapter 539 Enough (2)

Jin Yun naturally understood Gong Jue’s situation. Perhaps the latter was unhappy because he could sense that he had come to s.n.a.t.c.h his sister away?

Once he thought of Gong Jue’s place in Gong Yimo’s heart, it seemed equivalent to him becoming his brother-in-law, so he kept a modest att.i.tude and chuckled.

“Mo’er often speaks of him in Yuheng. Seeing him today, he truly is outstanding in appearance and br.i.m.m.i.n.g with great talent.”

He really admired Gong Jue, because he had opened up the bank at Mo’er’s suggestion. But what about Gong Jue? He was so young yet he quickly seized the opportunity to open up a bank in Dayu before anyone else.

This senior att.i.tude of his deeply irritated Gong Jue. Isn’t he only seven or eight years older than him? What right did he have for such pompousness?

He scoffed. “Father Emperor, what were the two of you speaking about? You look quite pleased.”

Gong Sheng did not intend to hide anything in front of Gong Jue. He said, “Yuheng’s prince wishes to seek Mo’er’s hand in marriage, and he’s very sincere. We are quite moved by him! Ha ha ha!”

A chill flashed across Gong Jue’s cold eyes.

“But Imperial Sister has made a vow not to marry in this life. Does Father wish to go against that vow?”

When he heard him say that, Gong Sheng’s face turned ugly. If Mo’er takes out the weapon, then why can’t she marry? What can anyone say if he was the one to marry her off?

Jin Yun felt a bit stunned. Mo’er made a life vow not to marry?

But before Gong Sheng could say anything irrevocable, Gong Jue said…

“This matter concerns Imperial Sister’s future ahead. For her contributions to Dayu, will Father not ask what Imperial Sister thinks?”

They were such simple words, but it flipped things around instantly. Jin Yun could not help but feel nervous. Mo’er…Would she be willing to marry him?

Gong Sheng felt that Gong Jue’s words made sense. He had been used to throwing his authority around. He had almost forgotten to ask what Mo’er herself thinks.

So, he smiled at Jin Yun.

“It does make sense. Nephew has the heart for it, but We still have to ask for Mo’er’s opinion! Please, wait a few more days and We will give you an answer!”

Jin Yun hated Gong Jue for stirring trouble, but he couldn’t say anything at this moment and could only accept.

Only, when he looked at Gong Jue again, a hint of wariness emerged in his eyes. It seems that he will still have to get past this “brother-in-law” if he wants to marry Mo’er.

If Gong Jue finds out that he had secretly pinned him down as his brother-in-law, then he would have crippled him on the spot!

Since just now, he could feel that the way Jin Yun looked at his Imperial Sister was not right, so he had been reading his lips and repeating in his mind his conversation with the emperor.

When he saw the emperor being swayed by his words and almost about to agree, he couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up.

Fortunately, the emperor was still a wise man and was able to be pulled back to his senses. Otherwise, if Imperial Sister suddenly gets a marriage contract and a new fiancé, then it really would have driven him crazy!

With just that thought alone, the way he looked at Jin Yun was laced with even more killing intent!

Imperial Sister belongs to him! She had been his since she was seventeen! And he won’t stand for anyone putting their eyes on her.

As for the fact that his Imperial Sister was planning to hand that thing over one day?

When Gong Jue returned to his seat, a cold aura wrapped around his entire person. Because, Imperial Sister had never mentioned this matter to him!

Gong Yimo could sense the abnormalities in Gong Jue and she carefully asked.

“What’s wrong?”

Gong Jue turned to look at him and…suddenly smiled.

Why is this smile so permeating? Gong Yimo couldn’t help but want to retreat, but her hand was gripped firmly under the table by Gong Jue!

“Imperial Sister, do you like Jin Yun?”
