The concubine's favorite? Break off the engagement and marry another prince, please respect you

Chapter 34

Pei Yuqing smiled faintly when he saw her hesitation.

Although this girl is verbally playful and loves to tease people, she is actually still a child.

He raised his hand to refill her cup and said, "Don't think too much, and don't feel any burden. I just don't want you to be deceived. There is no other intention."

They sat by the window with it half open. It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly outside. The early summer breeze was not too hot, but Xie Wan Ning's heart felt inexplicably hot.

She remembered the dreams.

Therefore, the news that Lu Ziyan had a mistress in the dream was also something he intentionally told her.

He didn't want her to marry without Lu Ziyan's knowledge.

But after knowing the truth, she still insisted on getting married.

Isn't it just a waste of his good intentions?

Xie Wan Ning felt uncomfortable and looked up at him: "Have you and I met before?"

Pei Yuqing said: "I have seen it."

Xie Wan Ning asked curiously: "When was it?"

His appearance was so unforgettable that she had no idea when she had seen him.

As if he could see what she was thinking, Pei Yuqing curled the corners of his lips slightly and said softly, "Think about it slowly."

No matter how much she asked, he refused to say anything.

Xie Wan Ning thought about it for a long time but had no clue, so she simply put the matter aside and brought the topic back.

She snorted, "I want to see if Lu Ziyan still has the nerve to not cancel the engagement this time."

He hasn't even gotten married yet, but his mistress is pregnant with a child. He really doesn't take his Yue family seriously.

Pei Yuqing laughed when he heard this and said, "I originally thought you would be sad to hear this news."

"I won't feel sad for him anymore," Xie Wan Ning said, "I just want to cancel the engagement and stay away from him. I don't want to have any more entanglements with him."

Hearing her say this, Pei Yuqing was not as happy as he had imagined.

I don’t know how much injustice this girl has suffered to be so desperate.

His smile faded, and he said calmly: "Yes, as long as you don't want to get married, this marriage will not be possible."

From the first time they met, Xie Wan Ning's impression of him was that of a gentle and introverted nobleman. Now that she saw that he had stopped smiling and could vaguely see some majesty in him, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She called him, and when he looked over, she said, "How can you know so much about Lu Ziyan's affairs?"

Pei Yuqing lowered her eyelashes: "Of course I have my own way."

Xie Wan Ning raised her brows slightly and said "oh".

Thinking back to the first time they met, even the ladies of the Lu family didn't know that Lu Ziyan was back until the others entered the door, while he was in the teahouse, he knew clearly that Lu Ziyan had returned to Beijing that day.

She couldn't help but tease, "You're just paying so much attention to my business."

Pei Yuqing raised his eyes to look at her, with a slight ripple in his eyes, and said slowly: "Wanwan, I just want you to be well."

His eyes were light, warm and bright, without any aggression, and he looked like a good-tempered person.

But Xie Wan Ning's heart beat violently when she saw him like that, and her not-so-thin face turned red in an instant.

I blushed at his look.

She pursed her lips and looked at him. They stared at each other for a few breaths. The moment he looked away, she said, "Is your body really as the rumors say..."

Pei Yuqing hummed softly, raised her hand to pour out the cold tea in front of her, and refilled another cup, saying slowly: "I have a heart disease, and I can't have too much emotional fluctuations since I was a child."

He has been a dignified and upright person since he was young because he has been cautious and self-disciplined since childhood.

Xie Wan Ning blinked, wanting to ask if the rumor that people would not live past 30 was true, but she couldn't open her mouth. She picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

Should I say I like him? It seems not.

The last time she asked him if he was willing to marry her, she wanted to get rid of Lu Ziyan by marrying her, and he was the best candidate.

This time, the news that Liu Manrou was pregnant came out. If Lu Ziyan could really cancel the engagement cleanly because of this, she would not want to get married.

She didn't want to marry him or anyone else.

But even so, she didn't want such a good person to live past thirty.

In those dreams, she was always in that small house, and this man never even appeared from beginning to end. She didn't know whether he was still alive two years later.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning felt inexplicably sad. She put down the teacup and said seriously, "I want you to be well, too. Can you do that?"

"Don't believe those rumors," Pei Yuqing laughed and nodded, "I'm twenty-seven now. Do you think I only have three years to live?"

Xie Wan Ning heaved a sigh of relief and laughed too, looking at him all the time and saying, "That's good."

She smiled so openly, purely out of happiness for him, without any distractions.

Pei Yuqing stared at it blankly, and his heart began to ache.

So be it, this is the best situation between you, he told himself.

Xie Wan Ning was completely unaware of his confusion and bitterness. She held her cheek with one hand and said with a smile, "Since you don't want to tell me when you saw me, if I remember it myself in the future, how about you promise me one thing?"

"Okay, I'll do whatever I can," Pei Yuqing responded readily, and then asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Xie Wan Ning waved her hand: "I can't think of it now, I'll tell you when the time comes."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the window sill, looking lazily downstairs. Opposite the teahouse was the Lin's pastry shop that she often went to. From this angle, she could see it all at a glance.

Without her knowing, this person might have stood in this position and looked at her many times.

Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning felt mixed emotions.

A man eleven years older than her, likes her and silently watches her in secret.

This was something that people would find extremely disgusting and repulsive, but she didn't feel that way at all.

She probably likes him a little bit.

After all, he really is a nice guy.

The room suddenly became quiet.

The disturbing little girl was standing by the window, facing sideways, holding the window sill with her slender fingers. She had no jewelry on her fingers, and no nail polish. Her ten fingers were as slender and white as jade, and dazzlingly white in the sunlight.

Pei Yuqing looked at her almost abruptly.

Xie Wan Ning tried hard to ignore the burning gaze and began to look around the room uncomfortably.

This should be a private room that belongs to him alone. The furnishings inside the room do not look like a teahouse for entertaining guests, but rather a bit like a living room.

She looked at it casually, her eyes stopped at the zither in the corner, and asked, "Can you play the zither?"

"How about playing a song for me?"

Pei Yuqing looked at her and nodded slightly.

He washed his hands, stood up, sat down in front of the piano, and without asking her what she wanted to listen to, he just plucked the strings.

Qingling's piano music was like a spring breeze, pouring out as he plucked the strings with his fingers.

Just like him, he is gentle, elegant and upright, making it easy for people to feel close to him.

Xie Wan Ning was quite knowledgeable about music, and she became increasingly absorbed in listening to the music.
