I once thought that I would be alone for the rest of my life or be with a strange woman until I grow old. It wasn't until you appeared that I discovered that there is a different kind of love in the world, regardless of gender.

Since the last conferment ceremony, Lin Wanchen rarely appeared in the Prime Minister's Mansion. During this period, he only came back occasionally to have a meal or discuss state affairs with his Prime Minister father, but he never explained his whereabouts.
There are different opinions on this.
Some people say that Lin Wanchen has not married for many years because he has unreasonable thoughts about his biological sister. Now that Lin Wanyan is getting married, he is so heartbroken that he has no choice but to hang out among flowers to relieve his boredom.
Some people also said that Lin Wanchen disappeared for so long because he fell in love with a female demon. The female demon could not be seen in the light, so Lin Wanchen had to keep her in captivity and stay with her all day long.
Some people even said that Lin Wanchen was doing shady things, hiding all day long and not daring to show his face.
After hearing this rumor, the insider did not explain it. He just regarded it as a topic for people to chat after dinner and let them go.
And because of this, these rumors spread more and more fiercely, so much so that even Lin Wanchen, who was in a remote courtyard in the capital, heard the rumors.
"Tell me, should I go out and explain?"
Lin Wanchen was making tea as he spoke, his brows and eyes full of elegance, mixed with a bit of joy.
Baililiuli, who was sitting next to him, stared at the "Alchemy Chronicles" in his hand. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Are you guilty of being a thief?"
"is a bit."
Lin Wanchen said truthfully, and it was not that he was talking nonsense. After all, if someone deliberately investigated his whereabouts, it would only be a matter of time before those people found this place.
Rather than being exposed by others, it is better to confess earlier. Although their reputation will be damaged to some extent, at least they are aboveboard.
If you don't want to make this matter public, then there is only one way - find another place to hide.
However, both he and Liang Li knew that this was not a long-term solution at all, and the most urgent task was to come up with a reliable method.
After a long silence, Liangliang lost interest in reading. He closed the book and threw it on the table. Looking at his skillful movements, he pondered: "General Lin, why don't you find a girl to marry and cover it up?"
-Of course, the girl must be uglier than him, and not as good as him in any way, so Lin Wanchen will not fall in love with her.
Hearing this, Lin Wanchen handed him the brewed tea, curled his lips and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will fake it and make it real?"
-Afraid! Why are you not afraid anymore
Liang Liang frowned and had no intention of drinking tea. He put the teacup on the table and said dullly: "Then what should I do? Just hide like this for the rest of my life!"
- It's not that he's being pretentious. Although he has good food and shelter in this courtyard, and he's with him, he just feels too bored. He's not a murderer, so why should he hide here for the rest of his life? Shouldn't someone with a broken sleeve be ashamed of himself
Seeing him like that, Lin Wanchen took a sip of tea and put the cup on the table. The faint fragrance of tea spread between his lips and teeth. He pursed his lips slightly and said, "If you don't want to hide, then go with me." I’m going back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
"don't want!"
Liangli refused without even thinking about it.
When he was exiled and brought back to his home by Lin Wanchen, he could never forget the way that old prime minister looked at him!
If he really goes back with Lin Wanchen, they might both be kicked out by that bad old man!
To be on the safe side, it’s better not to go back.
Lin Wanchen's answer was what Lin Wanchen had expected. Of course he knew how outsiders viewed the man with the cut sleeves. Putting aside others, he would not agree if he talked about his own father.
After all, their family is a well-known family in the capital, and every move they make is watched by outsiders.
Besides, he is still the only son in the family. Now that something like this happened, doesn't it mean that the Lin family will be cut off
Thinking about his father's reaction, Lin Wanchen frowned, raised his eyes to look at him, and said solemnly: "Liang Li, believe me, I will give you a status."
Status
I was confused. It would be easy to say that they were of the opposite sex. The worst case scenario was that he would marry her and she would marry him. But the problem now was that they were of the same sex! How can two grown men get married
The doubtful words had already welled up in his throat, and just as he was about to speak, he was stunned by the determination in his eyes. He couldn't say what he said before.
After a long while, he lowered his eyes and responded vaguely: "... Oh."

For several days in a row, Lin Wanchen rushed back to Liuli's courtyard almost immediately after the morning meeting. Although on the surface he was still chatting and laughing as usual, Liuli still noticed something was wrong.
Facts have proved that the premonition of being homeless was correct. Lin Wanchen never came to his courtyard again after a month.
At first, Liangli thought he was just hiding in the mansion temporarily to avoid the limelight, but after a month, he finally couldn't help but disguised himself and quietly left the courtyard and wandered around the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Taking the pocket money Lin Wanchen had given him earlier, Liang Liang lurked in an inn near the Prime Minister's Mansion and carefully observed what was going on inside.
until-
"Hey, have you heard? Mr. Lin is getting married!"
"Are you talking about Mr. Lin from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Isn't that right? Prime Minister Lin personally sent people to take over all the people in my father's shop a few days ago. I also heard that the wedding will be held in the middle of this month."
"So fast? Then do you know whose daughter she is?"
"I heard from my father that the woman was not a young lady from a wealthy family. She seemed to be an orphan. She had just lived in the capital not long ago. Because she was pretty, she was targeted by a few local gangsters. It happened to be one Prince Lin rescued her a month ago and brought her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The two fell in love at first sight and quickly agreed to get married. "
"Orphan? My God, if I had known that Mr. Lin was so soft-hearted, I should have pretended to be a beggar and pestered him. Maybe he would marry me too?"
"Just you? Just dream. Don't you think about how many beautiful rich ladies there are in this capital, but Master Lin still doesn't like them?"
"That's true. I got that woman's advantage in vain."
…
Liuli at the next table suddenly squeezed the chopsticks in his hand, almost breaking them.
No wonder he didn't come to see him for a month. It turned out that he fell in love with another girl at first sight and was busy getting married!
Oh, thanks for worrying about him, these worries are nothing to him now, right? In this case, does he still need to stay
No, he hasn't even said this game is over yet, why should he quit!
After thinking about it, he stood up suddenly, with a bit of anger in his eyes and a coldness all over his body.
—Lin Wanchen, don’t forget, it was you who provoked me first!
