"No." Qin Yin responded coldly, the chill in her eyes dazzling like frost. She pulled her arm away from Qin Han and walked further into the banquet hall.
Qin Han bit her lip as she watched Qin Yin's retreating figure. It baffled her how Qin Yin could turn so cold suddenly. They were such good sisters when the banquet started.
But now it didn't matter anymore. Her mother had married her father. She didn't need to appease Qin Yin any longer. Qin Han smirked smugly, remembering how she stole Jun Nian away from Qin Yin.
Despite Jun Nian's initial love for Qin Yin, he ended up being with her. Anything that Qin Yin liked, she would snatch away. She, too, was a daughter of Qin Family, but she couldn't take her rightful place in the family. This was something she simply couldn't accept.
Now, she could easily use the same approach. Once she marries into the Nan Family, it would be her chance to replace Qin Yin.
There was a fierce glint in Qin Han's eyes. But as she turned around, she met Nan Sichen's deep, chilling gaze. Startled, she concealed her previously severe expression, forcing out a sweet smile. She walked up to Nan Sichen and called in a clear voice, "Brother Sichen."
Nan Sichen stared at her for a moment, his gaze as cold as ice. It was so intimidating that Qin Han held her breath. If Nan Sichen kept staring at her like this, she was sure she would faint. She dared not make any major movements, standing trembling before him.
A myriad of thoughts raced through her mind. Did Nan Sichen see the way she looked at her sister just now? Did he think she was no longer an innocent princess?
He just stared at her, not uttering a word, making the atmosphere so tense she felt she might burst.
After a moment, Nan Sichen disregarded her, downed his glass of wine, turned around, and left abruptly.
Watching his retreating figure, Qin Han nearly collapsed. Even though he hadn't said or done anything, his mere presence suffocated her.
Someone suddenly steadied her. When she turned her head, she found her mother, Li Yueyi, next to her.
With a smile, her mother said, "Hanhan, were you chatting with the young master of the Nan Family? You managed to engage him in conversation?"
"I..." Seeing the excitement in her mother's eyes, Qin Han couldn't bear to admit that Nan Sichen had completely ignored her.
"Mom, tonight, I want to become Brother Sichen's woman," Qin Han said determinedly.
"Hanhan, we should not rush into this. Even if you become his woman, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will marry you. Do you understand? Can a man as indifferent as Nan Sichen, who has a complete disregard for kinship, possibly take responsibility for you?" Li Yueyi disapproved of Qin Han's idea.
"Mom~ I can't wait anymore. You don't know, earlier, that bitch Qin Yin was talking to Brother Sichen outside. Who knows what they were talking about? I don't want to miss this opportunity. I can't let that bitch Qin Yin marry into the Nan Family. If that happens, how could we ever survive?" Qin Han said resentfully.
"Alright, Hanhan. Isn't Qin Yin still unaware that we were the ones who framed her mother? Hasn't she always been nice to you? As long as we keep it from her, everything will be fine. Of course, I know we can't let Qin Yin marry into the Nan Family, but you also shouldn't be too rash," Li Yueyi said, smiling and patting Qin Han's head.
