Mrs. Qin leaned in and whispered something into Lin Yanran's ear, causing Lin Yanran's eyes to widen slightly and her face to redden more and more, her shyness almost overflowing from her eyes.
"Mother! You, you... this is too... I..."
Lin Yanran seemed to be startled by Mrs. Qin's words, somewhat tongue-tied. Mrs. Qin looked at her with affection, speaking earnestly:
"Silly child, what is there to be afraid of? One must understand that in this life, many things cannot simply be waited for. You think it belongs to you, but with one careless move, it becomes someone else's. You need to fight for it at the right time and push for it to happen."
Lin Yanran looked at Mrs. Qin, seemingly not quite understanding the deeper meaning of her words.
Mrs. Qin gave a loving smile, holding her hand gently, "You and the Crown Prince have mutual affections, and your families are well-matched. It's an ideal match."
Lin Yanran bashfully lowered her head, and she too believed this in her heart.
