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

Chapter 39

After a long while, Lu Ziyan opened his lips and said in a trembling voice: "It's my fault. I will treat you well in the future and never make you sad again. You will be the only one in my life..."

"Forget it," Xie Wan Ning interrupted him and laughed softly, "You are the one who carries the legacy of the Lu family. How can I make things difficult for you? If you leave me alone, how can your Lu family prosper?"

The impatient words he spoke that day turned into a sharp blade and were thrown back by her.

Lu Ziyan's eyes were red without him knowing when. He closed his eyes, held her tightly with his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "What should I do to make you willing to go back to the past."

Xie Wan Ning sighed, "I can't go back. How dare I let myself be stupid again?"

She said with a bit of self-mockery: "These days, I have also figured it out. In fact, this can't be entirely your fault. It's my own fault for being so self-deprecating. Who would take someone who rushes to get close to me seriously and cherish him properly?"

Even the most ordinary man among the countless people would not care much about a woman who rushed to get close to him, let alone Lu Ziyan.

He has everything, everything is at his fingertips, he has so many good things, what does her sincerity matter to him?
Lu Ziyan clenched his teeth: "Even if you are angry, don't say that about yourself. You are not wrong, it's my problem."

"I don't want to discuss who is right and who is wrong here with you," Xie Wan Ning looked at their clasped hands and said, "Let me go, we have already said everything we need to say."

"...We," Lu Ziyan pursed his lips and said, "Can we not cancel the engagement?"

Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning was immediately furious: "You are going to act like a rogue again!"

"No," fearing that she would get angry again, he clenched her hand and soothed her, "I'm just discussing with you. I said something wrong before and hurt you. You can think of a way to punish me, and the wedding date can be postponed. When you forgive me, it won't be too late for us to get married. How about it?"

"Nothing." Xie Wan Ning looked at him doubtfully, frowning and saying, "I remember you said that day that you didn't have to marry me, so why are you so persistent?"

Lu Ziyan's breathing stagnated slightly. He fixed his eyes on her face, examining her expression carefully.

In the end, I realized that she didn't mean to be sarcastic at all when she said this, she was just simply confused.

It can be seen that in her heart she always believed that he was unwilling to cancel the engagement just because he was unwilling to be dumped by his fiancée, and it had nothing to do with anything else.

——She didn't realize what she meant at all.

His fist gradually tightened, and Lu Ziyan's eyes became increasingly gloomy.

After a while, he spoke with a hoarse voice: "Since I was engaged to you at the age of twelve, I have never thought that I would marry someone else in this life. What I said before was because I was young and hot-tempered, and I spoke without thinking... Can you forget it all?"

These words really expressed Xie Wan Ning's true feelings, and they made Xie Wan Ning a little surprised and a little enlightened.

That's right. During this period of time, he had pestered her again and again and refused to agree to cancel the engagement, which was actually very inconsistent with his style.

His behavior cannot be explained by his strong self-esteem.

Sometimes she would think that maybe he was not so cruel to her because he was so persistent.

He probably likes her too.

Although this liking may be tiny, it does exist.

But those dreams were so tragic that she didn't dare to think about it at all.

——Who would be so cruel to the one they love?

Now hearing his words, she was surprised and even wanted to laugh.

It turned out that he actually liked her.

But in the dream, after she married him without hesitation, how did he treat her?

He would rather hold his cousin's concubine in high esteem than be more patient with her.

Maybe in her eyes, no matter how cold and mean he was to her, she wouldn't really be angry, so why bother with her?
He probably felt from the bottom of his heart that she was unworthy. It was quite ridiculous to think about it, she was ridiculous, and so was he.

No longer wanting to talk to this person, Xie Wan Ning moved her wrist and said calmly, "Let me go."

Lu Ziyan let go as he was told, but his eyes were fixed on her.

After a few moments of silence, he said, "Okay, since you still have resentment in your heart, I promise to cancel the marriage."

Xie Wan Ning was rubbing her wrist. Upon hearing this, she looked up at him and said, "Not cheating?"

Lu Ziyan pulled his lips and smiled: "No cheating."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, strode to her, put his hands on the sides of her chair, and trapped her in the chair.

Xie Wan Ning's pupils widened as she watched him bend over and move closer.

The two looked at each other, and before she could say anything, she heard him say, "But our relationship will not end just because of the cancellation of the engagement. Listen carefully, I, Lu Ziyan, will marry no one but you in this life."

The voice was sonorous and powerful. While Xie Wan Ning was stunned, he had already stepped back.

The oppressive feeling brought by his approach suddenly disappeared. She stood up hastily and took a few steps back, her face full of resistance, "Then you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. I will never marry into your Wuyuan Marquis Mansion again."

Lu Ziyan didn't find anything wrong with the word "again" and just thought it was because of the cancellation of the engagement.

Seeing her disgusted expression, he thought of what she said that day in Qucheng Marquis Mansion, and his brows were instantly stained with a bit of hostility: "Don't look at me like that, I'm not dirty."

"Who knows?" Xie Wan Ning twitched the corners of her lips and sneered, "But whether you are dirty or not has nothing to do with me, please go back."

Lu Ziyan stared at her steadily, "You still don't believe me?"

Xie Wan Ning was completely impatient: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. Isn't that what you wanted me to think before?"

"I didn't know you cared about this before," Lu Ziyan's expression changed. In his mind, one moment he saw her praising the old man for being clean, and the next moment he saw her looking at him with disgust.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you care about this, I certainly can't let you misunderstand me again."

His jawline was tense, and the two of them confronted each other for a few breaths. He stretched out his arm and grasped her shoulders, pulling her close, and said word by word: "I did say some bullshit, you can convict me if you want, but I have never touched anyone else, and I don't admit this crime."

"And..." The girl under his grip struggled violently. He loosened his grip slightly and let her escape. He followed her closely with his eyes and continued, "Although I have thought about taking a concubine for the sake of the Lu family's heir, I have never let any woman get close to me."

No matter how ridiculous his words were, he never actually took action.

Since childhood, he either studied with the princes in the palace, or was taken by his grandfather and second uncle to roll around in the military camp. He does not like the smell of cosmetics.

For eighteen years, there was only room for her in his eyes.

In the past two years, since he was sixteen years old, he has been ordered many times to suppress rebellions and bandits, and local officials have given him many women.

Some are bright and charming, some are beautiful and moving, some are inexperienced and some are coquettish. There is no woman that those flattering officials cannot find.

Each of them is at the most tender age, like a bud about to bloom, waiting for him to pick.

He had no intention of keeping himself safe for anyone, nor did he worry that he would be held hostage by anyone if he accepted one.

But he didn't move any of them.

There is not even the thought of sexual desire.
