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

Chapter 52

He no longer had any preference for her, so he no longer dared to act recklessly.

The most obvious manifestation is that Lu Ziyan has learned to worry about gains and losses.

Past memories told him that she must still love him, and such a deep love could not disappear overnight.

But recently, he has found it difficult to find that deep love in this girl.

After a few breaths of silence, he gave in and said, "You don't like Ming Jian following you, so how about I select a few maids with fighting skills and send them to you?"

“No need.” Xie Wan Ning endured the kiss on her fingertips until she couldn’t stand it anymore and curled her fingers slightly. “The capital is very safe. No one except you will break into the Xuanping Marquis’ Mansion at night, and no one will put me in danger.”

Hearing the anger in her words, Lu Ziyan looked at her quietly for a while and asked, "Really? Your two maids are so weak that they can't protect you if something happens."

Hearing him mention the maid, Xie Wan Ning immediately thought of Erxia.

Erxia, who was taken as his concubine in his dream, had already made her decision.

Since they all chose to abandon her in order to be together, she had to fulfill their relationship.

Xie Wan Ning lowered her eyes and said, "I'll also give you a gift, do you want it?"

Lu Ziyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously held her hand and said, "Yes!"

"Well then," Xie Wan Ning took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and said calmly, "Er Xia has been staying in the east wing these days. You can wake her up and take her away. Tell her that there is no need to come and say goodbye to me."

There was silence in the room for a few moments.

Lu Ziyan seemed very confused: "...What do you mean?"

Xie Wan Ning said: "You have seen Er Xia before. She is good-looking and is already eighteen years old..."

"Why are you telling me this!" Lu Ziyan interrupted in a hurry, asking incredulously, "You want to give me a woman?"

"...She is my personal maid. She is interested in you, so I want to fulfill her wish," Xie Wan Ning admitted frankly, and said, "You will not suffer any loss. Although she is a maid, she is not worse than the daughter of an ordinary minor official."

"She's interested in me, so you want to fulfill her wish?" Lu Ziyan glared at her fiercely, breathing heavily, trying hard to control his rage, and gritted his teeth and said, "Wanwan is such a kind-hearted girl, why don't you fulfill my wish as well?"

As he said this, he laughed angrily: "I just feel very anxious. You are so considerate. Why don't you give yourself to me to calm my heart?"

"Lu Ziyan, don't do anything stupid!"

The light provided by the Night Pearl was not bright, but in the dim room, Xie Wan Ning could see his tense jawline and the dark color in his eyes. She said hurriedly, "If you don't want to take her, then don't take her. I just told you what she was thinking, and I didn't force you to take her away."

Lu Ziyan pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and managed to calm down. He leaned over to approach her and said word by word, "I have never thought of wanting anyone else except you. If you want to give me someone, why not give yourself to me?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning was speechless. She dodged backwards, but he held her neck again, making her unable to move.

Lu Ziyan looked at her steadily for a long time. The moment his thoughts started to race, he really wanted to do something, but in the end he did nothing and slowly let her go.

"Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?" His expression was cold, but his voice was calm: "It doesn't matter if you are trying to piss me off on purpose. As long as you stay away from Pei Yuqing, I will punish you no matter what you come up with."

The topic then turned to Pei Yuqing.

Xie Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she heard him say again: "Don't be alone with that old man anymore."

Thinking of her words praising the old man, Lu Ziyan held her hand and placed it on his face, with a cold smile on his lips: "Can he be as good-looking as me?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning almost doubted her ears. Such sour words actually came from his mouth. After a moment of silence, she pulled her hand away and said stiffly, "You should leave."

Lu Ziyan hummed softly. He paused for a long time, holding her hand all the time, unwilling to let go. Finally, he looked up at her and said, "Can you write me a letter every three days? I'll send someone to pick it up."

Xie Wan Ning hugged her knees with one hand, looked at him, and refused: "I don't want to write."

Both of them knew why they didn't want to write.

Over the years, she received no reply to any of her letters to him.

No matter how passionate the feelings are, they will always grow cold if they are not responded to.

"I'm sorry..." Lu Ziyan gently kneaded her palm, thought for a moment, and explained: "I have read all your letters."

As to why there was no reply.

The reason is simple, she is right.

Because he was sure that she would wait for him there no matter what, he was not willing to spend any more time on her.

Maybe people are just like this. They always ignore the people closest to them. Only when they are about to lose them, do they know what is most precious.

Thinking carefully about the past two years, he didn't know how much injustice he had caused this girl...

Lu Ziyan laughed helplessly, and finally let go of her hand. He moved closer, looked at her and said, "You really shouldn't forgive me so easily."

Xie Wan Ning quickly withdrew her hand, clutched the quilt and shrank back without saying a word.

"This time, it's my turn to write to you. Can you just ignore me?" He thought for a moment and said, "Your parents and brother have some misunderstandings about me. It's not easy to send you a letter openly. I'll let Yunjin send you a letter. When I come back from Yunzhou, I'll go to their house and apologize for my crime and ask for their forgiveness."

Yunjin was a large eagle he raised. Xie Wan Ning had seen it many times. She nodded slightly, agreeing, and urged, "Hurry up and leave."

That's how reluctant he is to be here.

Lu Ziyan felt bitter in his heart. He looked at her quietly for a long time and said, "Then I'm leaving. Remember what you promised me and don't break your promise."

He came late at night just to ask for a promise.

He didn't expect her to forgive him without any grudges now, as long as she was willing to wait for him to come back and no longer care about other men.

Xie Wan Ning sneered in her heart at the attitude of "I won't leave unless you agree."

She lowered her eyes, pulled a smile at the corner of her lips, hummed, and replied: "Okay."

Hearing this, Lu Ziyan felt relieved. He couldn't help but reach out and hold her shoulders, saying, "When I come back from Yunzhou, I will get your parents' consent to marry you to me again."

Xie Wan Ning did not comment.

She didn't answer, and Lu Ziyan didn't get angry. He looked at her deeply for a long time, as if he had engraved her appearance in his mind, before he turned and left.

As soon as the oppressive man left, Xie Wan Ning's breathing became heavier. She waited for a long time, and only when she was sure that the man was really gone did she hold her chest and gasp for breath.

"Lu Ziyan!"

In the dim room, her voice was filled with hatred.
