Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 929 889: What Does Madam Like?

Watching as those two glistening tears were about to fall, Lin Yi felt both helpless and speechless.

He wanted to say something to this girl, but seeing her pitiful face, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

However, when it came to matters of principle, Lin Yi could still stick to his stance. No matter how aggrieved she felt, things that shouldn't be done were simply not acceptable.

After all, he had made it quite clear before—he had a family to think about and couldn't just say whatever. How could he possibly face Xiao Zihan otherwise?

Yet this time, before he could speak again, tears filled Leng Yu's big eyes and started to fall, dropping to the floor and breaking into countless fragments.

Not only that, but Leng Yu's aggrieved little voice also sounded:

"I-I don't want to, I wasn't trying to vie for the position of the main wife. I've never envisioned such a thing.

I just want to be by the Young Master's side, even if it means being a concubine, or even a servant.

I've never thought of taking the position of the main wife; I swear by the heavens. As long as I can be by the Young Master's side, I'll do anything."

As she spoke, tears continued streaming down her face.

Later on, she even covered her mouth and sobbed softly, making Lin Yi truly feel a bit heartbroken.

It's not that he intended to bring this girl under his wing, but her pitiful appearance made him feel uneasy.

After all, to Lin Yi, this girl was the closest person to him in this world.

Although he knew before that she had feelings for him and was drawn to his presence, he didn't expect her to be able to say these things.

He hadn't imagined she would prefer to be a servant willingly, something Lin Yi never foresaw.

Considering her background—a General's daughter—such a status was quite prestigious in this ancient society.

How could someone of such status choose to be a concubine or a servant?

Yet now, it was laid bare in front of him, leaving him genuinely conflicted.

Lin Yi dared not refuse her outright for fear of completely breaking her heart.

After all, in any case, she was merely an innocent young girl.

If he spoke too bluntly, she might act out irrationally, something he absolutely wanted to avoid.

Helplessly reaching out to wipe her tears, even as he cleared the tears in the corners of her eyes, they were immediately replaced by new ones.

Caught in the moment, Lin Yi was truly at a loss, and began to comfort her as he helped wipe away her tears:

"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore.

Perhaps in this society, one can have a main wife and concubines, but you might not know that in our Immortal Realm, where I live, having multiple spouses is not permitted.

A man can have only one wife, do you understand what I mean?

Thus, it's not that you're not good enough, nor that I don't have feelings for you. It's just that I've been raised with these beliefs, and I'm unable to accept you so quickly. Do you understand my intentions?"

At this point, Lin Yi wasn't sure what he was saying; in short, he was very flustered.

For the first time in his life, he encountered such a situation where a girl confessed to him so bluntly, with such humility.

If this were the 21st century and another man encountered such a situation, he'd brag about it forever. But for Lin Yi, it posed a real difficulty.

Seeing that his consolations were ineffective, and that his explanations weren't getting through to her, Lin Yi could only sigh in resignation and say:

"How about this; since you insist so strongly, I have nothing more to say, but there's one thing I must tell you.

You can stay by my side, but you must have my wife's consent. Do you understand what I mean?"

In the current situation, Lin Yi could only resort to this tactic, hoping this temporary solution could help him navigate the present crisis.

After all, according to his thinking, it might be very difficult in this lifetime to see his wife again.

Who knows when the system might awaken? Who knows if it will even be able to transport him back after it does? If it can't, he might have to spend his life here.

Instead of trying to soothe Leng Yu, it would be easier to give her hope—or more accurately, hope that she's unlikely to realize.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Leng Yu surprisingly stopped crying, lifted her eyes, and blinked her tears-filled big eyes at Lin Yi.

After gazing for quite some time, just when Lin Yi was feeling somewhat awkward, Leng Yu suddenly spoke:

"Then, what if the wife doesn't agree?"

It was apparent that Leng Yu was completely determined at this moment, to stay by the side of the man in front of her at any cost.

Lin Yi, seeing her inquisitive expression, could only smile bitterly and say:

"Whether she agrees or not, I cannot say; I have no answer for you. It's all up to fate between you two."

After saying this, Lin Yi showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. On the other hand, Leng Yu cautiously spoke again:

"So, what is the wife's personality like? What kind of woman does she favor? Can you tell me so I can change to suit her tastes?"

This nearly choked Lin Yi with his own saliva.

Goodness, what kind of woman the wife prefers? If he mentioned this to Xiao Zihan, she would certainly be furious.

In the 21st century, no woman would pick out a concubine for her husband, right?

Of course, at this moment, to comfort Leng Yu, Lin Yi naturally wouldn't say that.

"Don't worry, the wife is very gentle. When you meet her in the future, you'll find out. I won't talk about it much now. It's late, go and rest."

Lin Yi, unable to explain much to her in his current situation, could only persuade this girl to leave, prioritizing solving the pressing crisis at hand.

Yet, who could have anticipated, even after saying that, the other party still shook her head and spoke up:
