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

Chapter 57

Xie Wan Ning continued, "When he saw you and I alone in the flower field, he thought that I was determined to break off the engagement with him because of you, and he was so angry that he refused to let me go."

Pei Yuqing kept his eyes on her lips. After a while, he spoke with difficulty: "He is no longer in the capital..."

"Yes, he is not in the capital now, but he will come back."

Xie Wan Ning was almost amused by his stubborn attitude and interrupted, "He is such a proud man, how could he accept that his fiancée, who has always been infatuated with him, no longer wants him? As long as he returns to Beijing, he will definitely come to pester me again. If I don't find someone to marry, I will have to pester him indefinitely."

Whenever she thought about the fact that she would be inseparable from Lu Ziyan for the rest of her life, she felt uncomfortable all over.

No matter what, she would never let herself marry into the Wuyuan Marquis Mansion and repeat the mistake in her dream.

Xie Wan Ning said, "In the Duke's Mansion with many guests, next to the rockery where people pass by at any time, in broad daylight, Lu Ziyan dared to kidnap me and flirt with me wantonly. Do you think he would let it go if I didn't marry someone?"

Her voice was calm, but it was filled with anger.

I don’t know whether it was directed at Lu Ziyan or him.

Pei Yuqing looked at her and said with difficulty: "It's my fault..."

He was late and failed to protect her.

He made her suffer such humiliation right under his nose.

He paused, then said in a gentle voice, "How about I arrange a few secret guards for you? You won't be bullied again."

"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent.

She glanced at him and forced a smile: "Forget it, it's my fault for being ignorant and making things difficult for you."

He had been refusing from the beginning to the end, but she relied on knowing his mind and pressed forward step by step with confidence.

But after saying it several times to the extreme, he still had no intention of giving in.

...It's actually quite boring.

How can you force someone to marry you?

It's not that she really can't get married. She can still choose someone to marry within three months.

She just wanted to be able to make her own choice even when Lu Ziyan forced her into this situation.

Perhaps her smile was too ugly, and the moment she finished speaking, her wrist was grabbed by the person in front of her.

"It's not a problem..." Pei Yuqing seemed to have made up his mind. He no longer avoided her question. He held her hand tightly and smiled bitterly.

Even in his dreams, he had dreamed of marrying her more than once.

How could it be difficult?

No one could understand his hesitation and struggle. He had been struggling since he met this girl.

When greed arises, he will think that one should enjoy life to the fullest. No matter who he gives her to, he will not feel at ease, worrying that she will be wronged or not treated well. The girl in his heart should be properly protected in his arms and cherished carefully.

But when he calmed down, he would tell himself that his frail body was not worthy of expecting lifelong happiness with her, and if he really followed his own heart, it would only waste her life.

He is so much older than her, he should be more considerate of her. How could he drag a good girl like her in her prime into his bottomless pit?

But she always had to talk about things that he tried hard to control himself and didn't even dare to think about.

Xie Wan Ning would not understand his complicated thoughts. She moved her wrist and said, "Let go."

Pei Yuqing let go of her hand and sighed softly: "I will marry you."

Xie Wan Ning looked up at him: "So reluctant?"

Pei Yuqing: "..." He lowered his eyes and looked at her, his lips moved slightly, and said: "I never force myself."

"...Then what did you just do?" Xie Wan Ning blinked quickly, trying to hold back the tears that suddenly came out of her eyes, but her voice still revealed her grievance: "Are you satisfied watching a girl ask you to marry her several times?"

The little girl was so aggrieved that the man who had been calm all the time suddenly panicked. He touched her eyelids with his fingertips and touched them gently. Seeing that the golden beans were still falling in strings, he hurriedly said, "Don't cry, I was wrong."

Xie Wan Ning turned her head away to avoid his hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Pei Yuqing paused in mid-air for a long time before holding her shoulders and said, "I didn't mean to reject you. You know, I have a heart disease."

Xie Wan Ning's hand that was wiping her tears paused for a moment, but she didn't say anything.

Pei Yuqing explained to himself: "Several imperial doctors in the palace have examined my pulse. This disease cannot be cured. My life is in danger at any time. I cannot have too much emotional fluctuation. I may be chatting and laughing with you at one moment, and unconscious the next moment."

As he spoke, he loosened his grip on her shoulders, looked down at her, and said in a hoarse voice, "If you regret it, it's not too late now."

"As for Lu Ziyan, you don't have to worry too much. As long as I am here, I will never watch you being forced by him."

In the night, his eyes were as gentle as water, just like him, he looked like he had a good temper.

Xie Wan Ning raised her head and looked at him for a while, then asked him, "Why should I regret it?"

What does his health and whether he can stay with her for the rest of her life have to do with her decision to marry him?
Hearing her words, Pei Yuqing's eyelashes trembled, and he was stiff for a long time before suddenly coming back to his senses.

As if he finally understood what she meant, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

He was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I promise you, whenever you want to divorce, I will let you go."

This was what she wanted him to agree to.

It turns out she didn’t just want him to marry her.

Instead, she wanted him to set her free at any time after marrying her.

……fair enough.

Pei Yuqing thought to himself and felt that his struggle just now was too pretentious.

At most, the girl was somewhat curious about him. Even if she wanted to marry him hastily in order to avoid Lu Ziyan, there were many noble men to choose from. It was not necessary for her to marry him.

But on second thought, Pei Yuqing figured out why this girl chose him.

He pulled the corners of his lips slightly and forced a smile; he said: "I will inform my parents tomorrow, set an auspicious day, and go to your house to propose marriage."

"No need to choose a date, let's keep the wedding simple," Xie Wan Ning said, "It would be best if we can complete the wedding ceremony within three months, before Lu Ziyan returns."

Pei Yuqing could no longer maintain the smile on his face and was unable to utter a word for a long time.

The three books and six ceremonies, any family with some rules, would need at least a year to complete the whole process. She and Lu Ziyan had been engaged for five years, from the time they were engaged when she was ten years old to the time they asked for the date last year.

Now it was his turn, but he had to complete the wedding ceremony in just three months.

Xie Wan Ning grasped his sleeve and gently tugged at it: "I don't mean to underestimate this marriage with you, it's just..."

"Everything is up to you," Pei Yuqing interrupted calmly, "Just three months, keep it simple."

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

Even if you are slow-witted, you can tell that this person seems angry.

She could understand a little bit about what he was angry about.

　It's the end of the month, please give me a ticket~~~~
