Chapter 108

Xie Wan Ning's expression changed: "Are you going to go back on your word?"

"I promised to let you go, and I will never kidnap you without your consent again. I will never break my promise." Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes to look at her and said, "But you have to answer a question for me first."

Xie Wan Ning took a deep breath, suppressed her displeasure, raised her eyes and looked at him, "Ask."

As their eyes met, Lu Ziyan's jaw tightened slightly, and he said stiffly, "He's really not capable, right?"

In his heart, she was still his wife, and letting his wife go back with another man was enough to make him vomit blood.

If they still...

The sound of iron blades clashing could be heard from outside. Lu Ziyan's personal soldiers were exchanging fire with others, while he was stubbornly waiting for her answer.

He was determined to get an answer, but how could Xie Wan Ning tell Pei Yuqing's pain to the man who coveted his wife? She frowned and turned away.

"I can't answer this question." She said in annoyance: "Lu Ziyan, you should know that I don't need to keep my virginity for anyone except Pei Yuqing."

"That's enough," her words were not pleasant to hear, but Lu Ziyan's tense jaw relaxed and he smiled, "That's enough, I already know."

He knew her too well, so he took her answer as a default.

After a pause, he continued, "Promise me one last thing, and I'll let you go."

Xie Wan Ning was already aware of his rogue nature and didn't expect him to let her go easily, so she stared at him in silence.

Lu Ziyan curled his lips and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Don't let him kiss you again, can you promise me?"

He abducted someone else's wife and brought her to his own villa. The person involved has already come to his door, but he is still making conditions here. How shameless.

Xie Wan Ning couldn't stand seeing him so confident of winning, and her eyes were filled with disgust. "What on earth do you want to do?"

He had clearly promised to let her go and also promised not to kidnap her without her consent in the future. She and Pei Yuqing were already a legitimate couple. Why was it any of his business how they got along in private?
What right did he have to ask her to agree to such a ridiculous thing?

She doesn't want to be perfunctory even if it's just to be polite.

Lu Ziyan said in a calm tone, "If I don't let you go, it will be very difficult for him to take you away today."

He said, "Wanwan, do you really want to compete with me?"

"Even if I promised you something like this, would you believe it?" Xie Wan Ning laughed angrily, "Besides, how close he and I are has nothing to do with you. Didn't you promise not to..."

"I promised not to force you anymore, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up," he said as a matter of course, "I've said it before, as long as I'm still alive, I won't stop thinking about you. I gave you a chance, but you just couldn't bear to take my life."

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and both of them could hear it clearly.

Lu Ziyan's face softened under the candlelight. His eyes were focused as he said, "Wanwan, I just want you to promise me this. If you are willing to promise, I will believe you."

The sickly man was indeed weak and it was normal for him to be inhumane. As long as he didn't touch his girl again, he would grit his teeth and accept her as if she were still unmarried.

In fact, she is safer in the Duke of Pei's mansion than by his side, and it also allows him to free up his hands to take care of some miscellaneous matters.

This time, he had no weaknesses, so he didn't need to worry about anything else...

When everything is ready, he will come to ask for her forgiveness in a grand manner.

He had planned everything well, and all he wanted was a promise from her.

Don't allow that sicko to kiss her again.

Xie Wan Ning did not understand the ever-changing political situation, nor did she know how turbulent the world was, but she vaguely understood his plan.

After not thinking for long, she said, "You must remember what you said and never force me again."

Lu Ziyan nodded solemnly, "I promise not to force you in the slightest."

"Okay," Xie Wan Ning said, "I promise you."

She agreed readily, which was not what Lu Ziyan wanted. But after Xie Wan Ning finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull her back, but he was afraid that he would ruin her rare concession.

This was the first time she gave in tonight.

This was also the first time I agreed to his request.

Lu Ziyan silently withdrew his hand, clenched it into a fist, and stared at her back as she left without hesitation, with an unfathomable expression.

He really shouldn't push her too hard, he should let her relax and then find a way to win her heart again.

So what if they get married? They are just a couple in name only.

He doesn't care!

…………

Xie Wan Ning opened the door and looked up to see Pei Yuqing standing not far away in the courtyard.

His face was as dark as water, and his eyes and brows were filled with a coldness that she had never seen before.

The moment the door opened, he looked up, and their gazes met in the air. Their eyes met for a moment, and his eyes were deep and expressionless.

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips, feeling a little helpless.

Ming Jian, who was guarding outside the door, was slightly stunned when he saw the door open, and then looked behind her.

Lu Ziyan glanced at him, rang his sword, understood what he meant, and waved his hand to stop everyone.

This farce finally came to an end.

Xie Wan Ning lifted her skirt and tried to step down the stairs, but someone grabbed her elbow from behind.

"Wanwan," Lu Ziyan glanced at the man in plain clothes in the courtyard. When he turned around, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle. He smiled at her angry eyes and said lightly: "Remember what you promised me."

How shameless.

Saying such things in front of her husband.

This expression, this context, it seems as if she really has some inexplicable relationship with him...

Xie Wan Ning was furious. She ignored him, impatiently broke free from his hand, lifted her skirt and quickly walked down the stairs.

Lu Ziyan just watched her quietly as she almost trotted to another man, and the moment she got closer, the man put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms.

Surrounded by the familiar fragrance of lotus, Xie Wan Ning felt a sore nose and almost shed tears.

"Brother Changqing..." She held his sleeve, her voice trembling, she wanted to say something but couldn't continue.

He felt aggrieved like a child who had been bullied outside and was ready to complain when he saw his relatives.

Her voice was very low, almost inaudible in the blustery night.

But even so, it still reached the ears of several people without much effort.

Pei Yuqing's heart suddenly tightened, feeling sore and painful. He tightened his arms and rubbed his chin against the top of the girl's head in his arms, but his eyes suddenly raised and pierced the man who walked out of the room with her.

Lu Ziyan felt no better than him. He looked at the couple hugging each other in the courtyard. Compared to her struggle in his arms, she was very docile at this moment and let the other man hold her obediently.

But he didn't even have time to feel jealous, at this moment, all he could think about was...

It turned out that she called him Brother Changqing.

It turned out that she acted like a little girl in front of him.
