Chapter 188

She opened her eyes suddenly and tried to step back, but her shoulders were held tightly.

"Be good... I'm just scaring you," Lu Ziyan whispered to comfort him, and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Let me go..." Xie Wan Ning put her hand on his chest, at least to stop the two of them from getting so close. She wanted to yell at him, but when she opened her mouth, her voice was soft and weak.

"What if I can't let go?" Lu Ziyan laughed when he heard it. He said slowly, "I really can't let go."

The laughter was full of ruffian spirit. Xie Wan Ning only heard the joke in it. Her already ugly expression instantly turned cold.

Seeing this, Lu Ziyan didn't dare tease her anymore. After letting her go, he asked, "Are you hungry?"

Xie Wan Ning rolled up the quilt and huddled in, saying nothing when she heard that.

He stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, but after she quickly dodged him, he slowly withdrew his hand.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ziyan's voice was a little faint. He looked at her black hair and said, "Is it because I am not as considerate as Wanwan's husband? Did you feel dissatisfied with my performance last night?"

He even dared to mention Pei Yuqing!
Xie Wan Ning's whole body froze, she sat up abruptly, picked up the soft pillow and threw it at him fiercely, "So you also knew that I have a husband!"

"Are you talking about that old, weak, and calculating man? Since he can't protect you, he should voluntarily step down and let someone else take over," Lu Ziyan sneered, snatched the pillow and threw it aside, then grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Wanwan, haven't you faced reality yet? He can't keep you."

"It's not up to you to decide whether I can stay or not! We have a marriage certificate! He and I are the legitimate husband and wife!" Xie Wan Ning's eyes were filled with tears, and she gritted her teeth and struggled, "What are we now? An adulterous couple!"

She had decided to start over with him, but no matter what, she had to break up with Pei Yuqing first.

Instead of being like now, having an affair with him while being a wife of the Pei family!
Adulterer and adulterer!

Lu Ziyan clenched his teeth, "Have you forgotten? We are also husband and wife."

"I only remember that you are my broken-off fiancé. Wake up, the memories of your past life don't count, you robber!" Such specious words made Xie Wan Ning laugh, "You only know how to satisfy your own selfish desires, why do you care about my feelings!"

"Am I not considerate enough of your feelings?" Lu Ziyan forced himself to suppress the pain in his heart and smiled through gritted teeth, "That's not what you said when you wrapped your legs around my waist last night. Are you planning to turn your back on me after you've used me?"

The blood rushed up, and he started to go crazy again. He held her waist with one hand and reached into the quilt with the other hand, moving up along her struggling thighs. He whispered teasingly, "We were also husband and wife in our previous life. We were so compatible. How could he be as good as me? Would you be so passionate and tight when you were with him..."

"Shut up, stop it!" There was no point in struggling. Xie Wan Ning's mind went blank. The hand that was pinching his neck suddenly swung away and a crisp slap landed on his face.

The house finally became quiet.

Their eyes met, two pairs of red eyes looked at each other, they could see the pain in each other's eyes, and they did not move.

The hateful hand also stopped moving. After a moment, Lu Ziyan pulled his hand out, his face as pale as death.

"You said you wanted to start over with me," he held her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "How happy I was at that time, how much I hated you when I found out you lied to me. Even if I deserved it and I forced it, but Wanwan...you can't ruin my feelings like this."

In past and present lives, he gave her all his sincerity, all his feelings, and even his humanity, but in return he was called an "adulterer."

She had clearly relaxed and softened her attitude towards him, and he thought he saw a ray of hope, but it turned out that she had lied to him.

Everything she did was to keep her virginity for another man and to return to his arms.

They are true love, but he is a robber, an adulterer, and an evil man who breaks up the couple.

Lu Ziyan smiled bitterly, "If these are all punishments, why didn't you kill me with a single blow that day?"

Xie Wan Ning had already burst into tears without realizing it, and she didn't know whether it was for the man in front of her who was so desperate that she was at a loss, or for the man far away who she had promised to wait for her at home when he came back.

Thinking of Pei Yuqing, she felt a pain in her heart, "It's my fault, I'm sorry for him, I ruined his feelings."

Lu Ziyan's whole body was stiff. He raised his head from her shoulder and stared at her tear-stained face. He looked at her miserable expression as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, with a face as cold as ice.

He wanted to question her harshly, to get mad with rage, to kill the sickly man alive in front of her, one knife at a time.

Is he so good that you can't forget him so much?

Letting him go makes you so miserable?

The two people who had just entangled with each other and indulged in love last night, now looked at each other with cold hearts.

…………

On this day, Xie Wan Ning was carried into the carriage. Her legs were so sore that she could not stand steadily after getting off the couch, let alone walk.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had been brought to this point, and it seemed like he wasn’t satisfied yet… His reaction was obvious as he helped her put on her clothes.

...Until the facts were laid out before him, Xie Wan Ning realized that in his previous life, perhaps he was really as restrained as he said on the bed.

At lunch time, the carriage stopped and Xie Wan Ning did not get off. Instead, Lu Ziyan brought the meal up himself.

Seeing the girl lying motionless on the couch, he reached out to hold her shoulder and asked quietly, "Can you sit up?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent. She didn't know whether she should be ashamed or angry. Finally, with a spirit of not admitting defeat, she sat up firmly.

"Does it hurt? Do you want to apply some medicine?" Lu Ziyan said, "I'm sorry for losing my temper. I promise I will be gentler next time."

"Later?" Xie Wan Ning's hand holding the bowl froze. She raised her eyes and looked at him warily. "After what happened last night, how many times do you want to come again?"

Lu Ziyan was speechless for a while, and Xie Wan Ning said again: "Not even once!"

"You are making things difficult for me," Lu Ziyan said in a light voice, with a gloomy look on his stern face. "Wanwan, I can't help but touch you, and you shouldn't use that marriage certificate to reject me. If I save you that day, I will write a letter to Yunjin to send to the capital, asking the emperor to issue an order to dissolve your marriage. The day should have come."

Xie Wan Ning was not aware of this matter. Upon hearing this, she frowned and asked, "Will Your Majesty agree?"

"He will agree," Lu Ziyan smiled slightly, "We will go to Northern Frontier tomorrow. Wanwan cares so much about her status, so how about we hold a wedding in Northern Frontier?"

Although their wedding in their previous life was grand and solemn, rumors about him and Liu Manrou spread throughout the capital at that time. Now that she thought about it carefully, she was indeed wronged.

Since they are starting over, they should hold another wedding and tell the world.

It was just that the north was bitterly cold, with only the desert sand and broken walls, and no groups of slaves to serve her, which was a bit unfair to her...

He thought for a moment and added, "Why don't we hold one in the north first, and then have another lively one after we return to the capital."

Seeing that he had already mentioned the topic of marriage, Xie Wan Ning ignored the rule of not talking while eating, and hurriedly swallowed the rice in her mouth, refusing, "No!"

His gentle gaze just now darkened, and he said calmly: "Wanwan doesn't want to give me a name?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning was speechless for a long while, and said with difficulty: "Marriage is not a joke... How can it be rushed like this?"

"Really?" He curled his lips and smiled, "Weren't you in haste when you married him?" He couldn't say this, as he would become murderous as soon as he mentioned it.

Even though the murderous intent was not directed at her, Xie Wan Ning could sense it. She froze slightly and whispered tentatively: "If I...if I start over with you, can you let Pei Yuqing go?"

That day he threatened to chop Pei Yuqing into minced meat...

This man always keeps his word. She has seen with her own eyes how the Jin people were chopped into meat paste, and she has also seen with her own eyes how he crushed Jin Wuji's hand bones, cut off his ears, and stabbed his eyes.

Whenever Xie Wan Ning imagined that Pei Yuqing would suffer these tortures one day in the future, she would feel cold all over her body.

...She had already done Pei Yuqing wrong, so how could she let him fall into such a situation because of her?

No way!
Her face turned pale, and Lu Ziyan saw it, feeling very unhappy. He said with a half-smile, "It really makes me look like a villain who broke up a couple."

The reality she least wanted to face was right before her. She had fallen in love with that sickly man. They were a loving couple, and for the sake of her husband's safety, she had to bow to this evil man and devote herself to him.

They have only been together for a short time, how could he have made her fall in love with him!

"Promise me not to kill innocent people again, and don't attack Pei Yuqing," Xie Wan Ning held his sleeve and whispered, "If you promise me these, I... am willing to marry you again."

I would marry you again...

Lu Ziyan was stunned, and his eyes were dazed for a moment.

He almost forgot how long he had been waiting for these words.

What a heartless girl, she would break up with him if she said so, and marry him if she said so. She would not let him suffer and despair, go crazy and regret, but she would never look back at him.

She no longer loved him in her heart, and even hated and despised him.

Now she nodded and said she was willing to marry him again.

Such pleasant words had a premise that he least wanted to hear.

Lu Ziyan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and held back the question that was already on the tip of his tongue.

Did she love that old man so much that she was willing to endure the disgust and marry him just to let him let the other person go?

The man's eyes gradually turned red for some reason. He looked at her deeply with eyes that showed no emotion. His eyes flickered for a long time before he nodded slowly, "Okay, I promise you."

Xie Wan Ning's expression relaxed, but she looked at him suspiciously again. She didn't expect that he would agree so readily.

Lu Ziyan smiled slightly, reached out and patted her little head, coaxing: "Eat your meal, it's getting cold."

He was clearly only two years older than her, and used to be a cold and aloof person, but over time, he became more and more skilled at coaxing her.

Xie Wan Ning lowered her head somewhat uncomfortably and concentrated on eating.

…………

That night, after a day of rest, Xie Wan Ning, who was able to move freely, came out of the bathroom and saw Lu Ziyan had entered her room at some point and was sitting on her couch.

Hearing her footsteps approaching, he looked up and said before she could chase him away, "I will hold you while sleeping tonight and I promise not to touch you."

The hand wiping her hair paused, Xie Wan Ning curled her lips and said, "I don't believe it."

To her, he was an insatiable hungry wolf, the culprit why she had to lie in the carriage all day today.

Her accusation was too strong. Lu Ziyan touched his nose bone and said without any guilt: "I know my limits. Even if you want it, I won't give it to you."

"I want it?" Xie Wan Ning was almost laughing at his shamelessness, and blurted out: "When did I ever think of wanting you?"

As soon as these words came out, she secretly said that something was wrong.

With this person's current sensitivity...

Sure enough, Lu Ziyan, who had been a little bit ruffian just now, restrained his expression and looked at her quietly.

Facing that look, Xie Wanning said dryly, "Don't talk nonsense in the future."

Lu Ziyan didn't say anything. He stood up, held her wrist, held her on his lap and sat down, and stroked her wet hair.

The weather in the north was unbearably cold, and the conditions on the road were poor. There was no heating in the room, and no maid to help her dry her hair. In such a cold day, wet long hair could easily cause a cold and headache. She had a high fever a few days ago...

A burst of steam rose from her hair, and the dripping wet hair quickly dried.

Lifting the quilt, Lu Ziyan held her and lay down, his lips pressed against her ear as he whispered, "Is it still swollen?"

Xie Wan Ning blinked, finally realizing what he was asking. Her face flushed as she pinched his arm, “If you keep talking nonsense, get out.”

His arms were hard and full of muscle, and her strength was not even enough to tickle him.

Lu Ziyan laughed and kissed her neck, "It smells so good."

Obviously they were in a hurry to travel and the conditions were difficult, so she didn't use any powder or hair cream, but there was still a refreshing fragrance on her body that went straight into his heart.

“Don’t do this recklessly,” Xie Wan Ning was a little scared. She bent her knees and tried to kick him away, but he took the opportunity to squeeze in.

Her legs were placed on his waist again. Xie Wan Ning took a breath and said, "No, I really can't!"

"...I know." Lu Ziyan was speechless for a long while, and suddenly smiled, "Why are you so scared? Even if I am a beast, I won't be in a hurry for a while."

…If he hadn't still been leaning against her legs, these words might have been more convincing.

Xie Wan Ning gritted her teeth and said, "My legs are sore, come down!"

Yesterday he stayed in the same position until dawn.

Her legs were wrapped around his waist until dawn...

Lu Ziyan wanted to laugh again, but he held it back this time. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed her hard, then obediently turned over.

"I am not considerate enough and didn't notice Wanwan's discomfort." He rubbed her thigh and said, "I should have rubbed it for you earlier."

Such a delicate girl, she rides in a carriage when she goes out, and has to sit in a sedan chair if she wants to walk a few steps at home. It is rare for her legs to exert such great strength.

Not to mention, although Young Master Lu had never done any serving work before, he was able to control the strength to perfection, and his hands were also very controlled, with no intention of going further and further.
