Chapter 193

She looked at him suspiciously, "Can a few words from me make you vomit blood repeatedly?"

Is he so fragile?

Who can say nice things during an argument? Aren’t the most hurtful words the most?

She was also very angry with him, but she didn't vomit blood.

Lu Ziyan smiled faintly and said, "Let's not talk about this."

He had indeed changed a lot, and had even begged her more than once to get her to come back, but deep down, he was still the man who was unwilling to show weakness in front of the girl he loved.

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips and chose not to ask any further questions.

If I ask further, it will seem like she cares a lot.

While the two were talking, several more aides came to discuss important matters.

Xie Wan Ning consciously went behind the screen, while Lu Ziyan drank the chicken soup in one gulp, glanced at her, then stood up and walked out around the screen.

In one afternoon, several groups of people came to his study one after another. Even if Xie Wan Ning listened carefully, she couldn't understand what they were discussing. She flipped through a few pages of the book out of boredom, and finally fell asleep in the soft chair.

When Lu Ziyan sent his confidants away and came back, he saw her covered with a thin blanket, with her little face rosy as she slept.

He smiled slightly, bent down and kissed her forehead, tucked the blanket in for her, then sat down at the desk to deal with official documents.

Time passed little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and candles were lit in the house.

Under the bright candlelight, there was silence and peace between the two.

Just then, Ming Jian walked in, and the sound of the door opening broke the silence in the room.

Lu Ziyan raised his eyes slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ming Jian didn't say anything. He glanced towards the screen with a hesitant look on his face.

Lu Ziyan's hand holding the pen paused, and he understood.

He stood up and walked a few steps to Ming Jian: "She is asleep, just tell her the truth."

The breathing sounds inside were long and regular, and he had indeed fallen asleep.

Ming Jian lowered his head and quickly told the information he had gathered. Finally, he said, "According to the time, he will be here within ten days."

They were also sighing in their hearts that the Prince of Pei was indeed a character. They had used so many methods, each of which could have killed him, but in the end, not only did they fail to save his life, they couldn't even make him suffer from exhaustion.

He was even able to get news from this side and follow the trail all the way here.

It’s just… with such limited manpower, what’s the difference between coming here and committing suicide?
Just for a woman, I can't care about anything else.

His master is like this, and so is Master Pei.

Ming Jian muttered to himself that women can mislead people.

When Lu Ziyan heard that Pei Yuqing was heading to the Northern Frontier, his face instantly darkened. The aura around him was icy cold, and the murderous intent in his heart was about to boil.

As soon as he heard this name, his usual calmness and composure disappeared.

He and Wanwan were about to get married, and the wedding was already being planned. That sickly guy...

As a trusted follower, Ming Feng knew his master very well. He bowed and offered, "I will take a few people to kill him. I will make sure he dies outside Beijiangcheng. I will never let him disturb your good deeds."

"No!" Lu Ziyan raised his hand and said, "Kill him. I'll go myself!"

Pei Yuqing is the person he wants to kill most in his life!

How could sending his subordinates to take action relieve his hatred?

He had to skin the sickly man alive with his own hands, piece by piece, to barely appease the hatred in his heart.

Now the chance has come! As for how to explain it to her...

Lu Ziyan smiled coldly. This world is a very chaotic place. If you don’t have enough ability, you dare not leave Beijing and wander around. Isn’t it normal to die outside?
Whoever said that the sickly boy died must have been murdered by him.

There is no need to explain.

He was so emotionally agitated by the surging murderous intent that he didn't even notice that the girl on the sofa had a momentary disordered breathing.

Xie Wan Ning bit her lips tightly, trying to steady her breathing. She clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, and her neatly trimmed nails dug into her palms, almost piercing her flesh.

Pei Yuqing is here!
He rushed to the northern border after hearing the news that she was abducted!
She also heard clearly why he had promised to come back in three to five months when he left Beijing, but his return date was delayed.

It was Lu Ziyan who constantly put obstacles in his way behind the scenes, preventing him from returning to the capital and separating the couple.

And now, he even has to go personally to stop Pei Yuqing from being killed.

It's so deceiving!

Not only did he attempt to steal someone else's wife, he also took his life!

Pei Yuqing was too innocent. She was the one who proposed to him and took the initiative to mention that she wanted to marry him.

In just one year, Lu Ziyan pestered her madly and she couldn't get rid of him or hide from him. She was even rescued by him by accident.

She has accepted her fate and she really wants to be with him.

But he was lying to her!

Lie to her!

Xie Wan Ning suppressed her anger and tried to keep her breathing steady.

Fortunately, the master and servant were also in a state of anxiety and did not notice the subtle changes in this corner.

After a moment, the study door was closed again and Ming Jian retreated.

Lu Ziyan stood there quietly, his expression had returned to calm, and he lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was not until a gust of wind blew the window machine violently and the sleeping girl inside uttered a muffled groan that he suddenly came to his senses and walked towards the other side of the screen.

The girl lying on the soft chair had already sat up and was rubbing her eyes. When she heard his footsteps, she looked over with sleepy eyes. Lu Ziyan's face was gentle, and he reached out to touch her forehead, "Is it because the wind was too cold and you woke up from the cold?"

"It's not cold..." Xie Wan Ning had just woken up, and her voice was a little hoarse. She swallowed and said, "I want to drink some water."

The man who had just walked up to her heard this and turned around to pour her some water. When he handed it to her, the temperature of the tea was just right.

Who wouldn't say it's so considerate after seeing this?

Xie Wan Ning held the teacup and stared blankly at the light golden ginseng tea inside.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Ziyan said, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink up."

"Hmm..." She responded softly, took a sip of tea, and explained, "I just woke up, and my mind is still a little fuzzy."

The way he answered in a serious manner showed that he was very well behaved.

Lu Ziyan's heart moved, he reached out and held her on his legs, lowered his head to her neck and sniffed, "Can I help you wake up?"

As he said this, he reached out to untie her belt.

It was such a cold day, and she was wearing several layers of clothes. Without untying her belt, he couldn't put his hands inside her clothes.

His movements of undressing were very familiar. When Xie Wan Ning tried to stop him, the belt of his coat had already been undone. She held his wrist as he was about to continue taking off her clothes, "I'm awake, stop it."

"It's been so many days, and you still want me to stop?" Lu Ziyan gently pinched her waist and kissed the tip of her ear, his voice unclear, "Don't keep rejecting me, Wanwan..."

Xie Wan Ning turned her head away from his approach and said calmly, "I'm hungry."
