Chapter 20

Xie Wan Ning thought that what she said was harsh enough.

Lu Ziyan was such an arrogant person, it would be strange if he didn't get angry when she pointed at his nose and called him disgusting.

But I never expected that he really didn't turn against me.

Except for the fact that his eyes darkened and fell on her as if they were real, his tone was very calm.

"Wanwan," he said word by word, "If you really can't accept this, then don't let her in."

I don’t know if it’s because he rarely makes such concessions or if he really can’t bear to give up Liu Manrou, but his face didn’t look good when he said this.

Upon hearing this, Xie Wan Ning's first thought was that he was still able to listen to human words and at least he didn't call her Rou Niang all the time, and then she smiled.

She smiled with her eyes bent, raised her head to look at him, and said in a mocking tone: "Are you willing to keep your lover out there as a mistress who is even worse than a concubine?"

Lu Ziyan lowered his eyes and squinted at the girl in front of him who was covered in thorns, with an unfathomable expression.

After a moment of silence, he sighed softly and said, "I didn't know that having someone around you would cause you to react so violently."

After all, his fiancée loved him very much and was really obedient in front of him, so obedient that he assumed that she would obey his decisions unconditionally, and he didn't need to explain anything to her.

No matter what, she will love him unwaveringly.

But this time, when he brought Liu Manrou back, she seemed like a different person after she knew about it.

He is sarcastic, prickly and jealous.

From a secular perspective, she really couldn't be the mistress of a marquisate.

He thought calmly in his heart that he should indeed cancel the engagement and marry a tolerant and generous lady, but he could not take his eyes away from the girl in front of him.

After returning to Beijing for so long, they only met once, and that ended on bad terms.

In the past, the girl would take the initiative to look for me after not seeing me for a few days, but this time she was really cruel.

...However, thinking that all this was just out of jealousy, Lu Ziyan was not that angry.

"Wanwan, you don't have to care so much about those insignificant women." After all, I never thought about marrying someone else.

He pursed his lips and swallowed the rest of the sentence, not wanting her to get carried away. He said in a light tone: "I promise you, I will follow the rules of the Xie family and not mention the matter of taking a concubine before the age of thirty."

Xie Wan Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

It turns out that he is not really the one who has the final say, and he will also give in.

It was just that she had previously been gentle and docile, so he never had to give in in front of her.

And now, he was willing to make a concession out of mercy, but she didn't like it.

After Lu Ziyan finished speaking, he stared at her expression. Just as Xie Wan Ning curved her lips and raised a smile, he interrupted coldly: "Think it over first, don't make a decision that you will regret."

"Don't worry, I won't regret it."

Xie Wan Ning lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on the brocade bag on his waist, and said, "I was blinded by one thing before, and I didn't understand that the Lu family has few descendants, which is indeed not suitable for me, and I don't want to hinder your great cause of continuing the Lu family's descendants."

"I am petty and jealous, and I cannot tolerate others. Not only can my husband not take concubines before the age of thirty, but he must not take concubines after the age of thirty. He can only have me for the rest of his life."

"So, let's call off our marriage. You should marry a wife who can accommodate you and take concubines, so that the Lu family can have more offspring..."

She paused, and finally looked up again. She was slightly startled when she saw the blue face of the man in front of her, but continued: "I sincerely hope that the Lu family will have many children, and you will have many wives and concubines, and many children and grandchildren." She never thought of looking back, and she didn't want to enter the Lu Mansion again, guarding a small courtyard, and being tortured day after day.

In his eyes, she must be extremely ungrateful, so his expression was so ugly, his eyebrows were sharp, his dark pupils seemed to be burning with anger, his jaw was taut, and he stared at her with gritted teeth.

Yes, it was such a rare opportunity for him to give in, but she rejected it without any hesitation.

Xie Wan Ning wanted to laugh again, but considering his mood, she managed to hold it back.

Having said what she needed to say, she bowed slightly and said goodbye. When she turned to go in, she heard his hoarse voice behind her: "Wanwan, don't you like me?"

If you like her, how can you cut off your feelings so cleanly? I wish he has many wives and concubines.

Xie Wan Ning's steps paused slightly, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Sure enough, he had always known how much she liked him, and he also knew how to use her love to hurt her.

The sky gradually darkened, and the girl blended into the night without looking back. Lu Ziyan looked at her back quietly until her extremely light voice rang out, and her tall figure suddenly stiffened.

What Xie Wan Ning said was: "I don't like it now."

...I don't want to like it anymore.

After saying this, she seemed to let down her guard and walked briskly into the house.

The heavy door slowly closed, and Lu Ziyan stood where he was without stopping it.

Under the gloomy sky, his emotions were well hidden, and no one could see them. Even so, the chill emanating from his body made people afraid to approach him.
Even Ming Jian, who was not far behind him, did not dare to step forward and disturb him.

…………

As soon as Xie Wan Ning entered the room, she saw her brother standing quietly under the eaves holding a lantern embroidered with lotus flowers. His long robe with wide sleeves fluttered in the wind in the night, and his demeanor was like that of an immortal king from the Ninth Heaven who had descended to the mortal world.

She blinked, but before she could say anything, Xie Yanyu came over with a lantern in his hand, raised his hand and touched his sister's head: "Look forward, don't be sad."

"..." Xie Wan Ning tried to hold back, but couldn't help it in the end. With a "woooo", she threw herself into her brother's arms.

She was very strong and Xie Yanyu's body tilted slightly when he was hit by her, but fortunately he had learned the Six Arts of a Gentleman well, so he managed to keep his balance in the end.

He sighed softly and began to pat his sister's shoulder: "Cry, but only this time."

"I don't want to cry." After crying for a while, Xie Wan Ning left her brother's arms in annoyance.

She really didn't want to cry, but he coaxed her into crying.

She took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, a little embarrassed to complain: "It's all my brother's fault, for being so sentimental for no reason."

"I'm just afraid that you'll be bullied." Xie Yanyu glanced at her with his eyes downcast, and praised her seldom, "You did a good job just now. I just wanted to let Mr. Lu know that the girls of our Xie family are not available to him at his command."

"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, then looked up at him.

Such a good brother, but suddenly he was reluctant to match him up with Princess Pingning.

The brother and sister walked side by side on the bluestone bricks, their long shadows dragging on the ground. Xie Wan Ning watched for a while, then suddenly tilted her neck and asked, "If I insisted on marrying Lu Ziyan, would you be mad to death?"

Xie Yanyu said calmly: "You marry your own wife, why should I be angry?"

 Ouch! ! ! !

  I really want a brother, but unfortunately I only have one sister~~~
