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

Chapter 51

"These days, I sometimes wonder, have you ever really liked me?"

If you really like someone, how can you just say you don’t like him/her anymore?

Lu Ziyan closed his eyes slightly and stopped looking at her, but his voice was cold: "Or maybe you were really bewitched by another man and transferred your affection to someone else, so you are so heartless to me."

"You don't have to accuse me of being a traitor." Xie Wan Ning didn't want to anger him, but she also couldn't let him put all the blame on her.

Listen to what you are saying. If you don't continue to be loyal to him and let him abuse you, you are transferring your affection to someone else.

She twitched the corners of her lips and said sarcastically, "I just realized my mistake and turned back to avoid being stupid again."

"Really?" Lu Ziyan's voice sank, and he reached out his hand to hold her chin again, lifting it up with force. His eyes were extremely dark, and he said word by word: "Then look into my eyes and tell me, do you like Pei Yuqing now?"

“Let me go!” Xie Wan Ning tried to break free from him, but the hand on her chin was like an iron clamp. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. “Don’t worry, no matter who I like, I will never like you again. It’s my fault that I was blind all these years and fell in love with a thing like you!”

She struggled too hard, not only did the thin blanket slip off her body, but even the thin scarlet nightgown underneath had a loose collar...

The light source provided by the Night Pearl was not actually very bright in such a large room, but Lu Ziyan had excellent eyesight and was tall, so from his high vantage point, he could even see the girl's underwear...

He suddenly loosened his hands and looked away subconsciously.

The next moment after regaining her freedom, Xie Wan Ning quickly rolled up the quilt again. She was anxious and angry. She accidentally caught his gaze and was startled. She shuddered and quickly shrank into the corner.

In her dreams, they had been husband and wife for two years and had countless sexual intercourses. But the look in his eyes...

Lu Ziyan could see that his reaction seemed to have scared her, and he also wanted to learn to say a few soft words to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid and that he would not be rude to her.

But at this moment, his mouth was dry, as if there was a fire in his throat, and his mind was full of images that shouldn't appear.

Today should have been their wedding night.

If he hadn't called off the engagement, he would now...

Lu Ziyan's breathing stagnated and he remained silent for a while, then his gaze fell on Xie Wanning's face again.

Seeing that the girl was frightened, he pursed his lips slightly: "What are you afraid of? When have I ever hurt you?"

She was the only wife he recognized. Over the years, he might not have been gentle and considerate enough, and he didn't try to please her in any way, but he really couldn't bear to treat her carelessly.

But she said that no matter who she liked, she would never like him again.

She said that she liked him before but it was blind.

Thinking of this, Lu Ziyan actually felt a little aggrieved.

Why should you like something so well and then just say you don’t like it anymore?

How could he be the only one who couldn't bear to leave?

Xie Wan Ning was sneering when she heard his words, when suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder, and she was pulled forward and fell into a chest that exuded a cold fragrance.

"Wanwan..." Holding her shoulders with one hand and her waist with the other, Lu Ziyan hugged the struggling girl tightly in his arms, his voice low and hoarse: "Wait for me to come back, you wait for me to come back..."

"Lu Ziyan, you are crazy! Let me go!"

Xie Wan Ning was shocked and angry, struggling with her limbs like a drowning duck, until she heard the heavy breathing of a man at her neck, and she suddenly froze and became mute. Perhaps because her reaction was really cute, Lu Ziyan couldn't help but laugh, and his hot breath sprayed on the girl's neck and ears, and soon a hint of pink appeared.

Xie Wan Ning did not dare to struggle. She pinched her palms and said in a trembling voice, "Don't do this to me."

Lu Ziyan hummed softly, "Don't be afraid, I just want to hug you."

With the beauty in his arms, he really couldn't control himself and wanted to do something.

He himself did not expect that the self-control he was so proud of was actually just this level.

Afraid of angering him and making him do something irreparable to her, Xie Wan Ning pinched her palms, her whole body stiff and she didn't dare to struggle, gritting her teeth in hatred.

Lu Ziyan was completely unaware of the girl in his arms' thoughts and even thought she was incredibly well-behaved.

He couldn't help but press his warm lips against her delicate neck, stroking it slowly for a while, and coaxed her in a low voice: "I really know I was wrong. When I come back from Yunzhou, Wanwan can beat me or punish me as you want. I'll let you do whatever you want, okay?"

What he feared most now was that when he left the capital, this girl would get close to other men just to spur her momentary anger...

He didn't have this concern before, but now...

Thinking of what happened during the day, Lu Ziyan's eyes became gloomy.

He took a deep breath and smelled the sweet fragrance of the girl in his arms before he managed to calm down. He stretched out his hand to pinch her delicate neck and said softly, "It was me who wronged you. Remember to seek revenge on me. Don't let me have an easy time, and don't implicate other people. Got it?"

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips stiffly and said okay.

"You agreed?" Lu Ziyan was overjoyed. He released her restraints, held her face in his hands, and looked into her eyes: "Wanwan, will you really wait for me to come back?"

Xie Wan Ning looked at him straight and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll wait for you to come back."

She smiled beautifully, especially since they were so close.

Lu Ziyan couldn't help it at all. He thought of the kiss in the rockery cave during the day. He slowly lowered his head as if bewitched, wanting to do it again.

Just as her lips were about to touch his, Xie Wan Ning blocked them with her hand. She whispered, "I haven't forgiven you yet."

Lu Ziyan came back to his senses, swallowed his throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's my fault, Wanwan..."

He held her hand, placed it to his lips, kissed her fingertips one by one, and sighed, "I was right before."

He had rarely even touched her hand before, so he had never suffered the torment of unfulfilled desire.

Ever since he held her in his arms once in the Qucheng Marquis Mansion, he felt that she was the partner tailor-made for him by God, and that she was born to stay in his arms.

Other men are not allowed to peek at her, touch her, or even think about her.

Thinking of the man who was so close to her, Lu Ziyan raised his lustful eyes and said, "Can I leave Ming Sword behind to protect you?"

He was still worried.

Xie Wan Ning sneered in her heart, but her expression remained calm: "Protect me for what? What danger could there be for me? Do you think, besides you, there would be someone else who would break into my boudoir at night?"

"..." It wasn't really a question, but it made Lu Ziyan speechless. He paused and explained, "I dare not not come."

He had just bullied someone in the afternoon. If he didn't come to comfort her and let her bear a grudge, when he returned to Beijing in a few months, would this girl really be estranged from him?
