Nan Sichen glanced at her and said nothing, but his heart was silently thinking, "I wish you would be like those other women, who are possessive of me, who get jealous, who act coy, who are domineering."
He silently watched Qin Yin, and suddenly felt a bit powerless. She was always so considerate, so considerate that it made him feel like she didn't love him at all.
That's why he was always so insecure and distrustful of her.
When they returned to "Chang'an for a Lifetime" in the evening, the servants had already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. Qin Yin looked at the exquisitely elaborate dishes on the table and asked Nan Sichen, somewhat surprised, "Aren't we going to the old house to celebrate New Year's Eve tonight?"
Nan Sichen sat at the dining table and, without looking at Qin Yin, said indifferently, "No, we're not going."
"Ah? Why?" Qin Yin pressed, staring at him.
