Chapter 59

Her voice was very soft, but in the deserted night, it sounded like a roar in Pei Yuqing's ears.

He was almost frightened when he heard this, and his emotions, which had been silent for many years, rose and fell with her words.

Which girl is as lawless as her?

Can……

Neither of them spoke. By the extremely quiet lake, Xie Wan Ning noticed that his breathing was gradually getting heavier.

After a long while, she frowned and asked worriedly, "Are you having a heart attack?"

"...Yes," Pei Yuqing was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "I have a heart disease, so don't tease me all the time."

Xie Wan Ning frowned even deeper and put her hand on his chest.

Sure enough, it jumped very fast.

A normal person would find it hard to bear a heart beating so fast, let alone his heart that was overwhelmed.

Xie Wan Ning felt a little regretful: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will be careful in the future and not to bother you."

Pei Yuqing: “…”

He held her shoulders, and as she touched his chest, he held her in his arms, sighing deeply as if he had completely compromised.

What a silly girl! If his heart wasn't moved by her, how could he be sitting here at this moment?

What about being gentle, polite, and having good character? He has never been that kind of person. How could he be so considerate and thoughtful to everyone?

Xie Wan Ning had always been very bold in front of him. From the first time they met to every time afterwards, she was the only one who took the initiative to tease him. She was very eager, presumptuous, and proactive. But now that he really made a move, she felt a little embarrassed.

Her hands were stiffly grasping his collar, and her ear was pressed against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, which seemed no slower than her own, and she felt inexplicably happy.

She leaned into his arms and whispered, "Your heart is beating so fast."

"Well," Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes, his voice slightly hoarse: "I don't blame you, it's my own problem."

Xie Wan Ning tightened her hands on his collar and pursed her lips without saying anything.

Pei Yuqing held her wrist and asked her in a low voice: "Will you come back to Beijing with me tomorrow?"

Since they have decided to get married, it is better to keep things simple and get married in a hurry. Both of them need to explain the situation to their elders in the family.

I just arrived today, but I will return to Beijing tomorrow.

Xie Wan Ning was fine, but her little cousin was very excited to accompany her to stay at the farm, so how could she let her...

"Can't bear to leave here?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Yuqing smiled slightly: "Then we will go there tomorrow morning and come back in the afternoon."

"Okay!" Xie Wan Ning looked up at his jaw and hesitated, "The wedding ceremony is too hasty. Will your parents be unhappy? And... and I..."

"Neither," Pei Yuqing lowered his eyes to look at the girl in his arms and said softly, "Don't think too much. They are eager for me to marry my wife tomorrow."

"As for your previous engagement, it is irrelevant. My parents are not conservative people and will not care about it. As long as I nod, they will not object."

Xie Wan Ning felt a little warm in her heart.

He was so nice, afraid that she would feel pressured, and he was very patient in coaxing her.

Apart from her parents and brothers, no one else would be so good to her.

Even her father wouldn't be so patient, gentle and considerate to her.

I was so touched that my hand unconsciously touched the side of the face that I had just kissed.

Her face was as clean as jade, and her touch was wonderful... She said softly, "Do you know why I want to get married as soon as possible?"

Pei Yuqing was silent for a moment, then said, "...because of Lu Ziyan."

"Yes, because of Lu Ziyan." Even though she knew that with his intelligence, he would definitely guess it, Xie Wan Ning still decided to confess her thoughts.

She said, "That time at the Qucheng Marquis' Mansion, in order to break off the engagement with him cleanly, I thought about marrying you. I thought that with your status, even if the matter was reported to the Golden Palace, the emperor would not stand on his side."

"Later, he agreed to cancel the engagement, and the engagement was successfully dissolved. I had no intention of getting married again."

Pei Yuqing listened quietly, his expression didn't change much. He knew that she wanted to marry him, not because she loved him, but to avoid another man.

But it was not until she heard the last sentence that he frowned slightly, his mind subconsciously turning, and he was thinking of some changes that made her think about marrying him again.

Was it the time when Lu Ziyan abducted him to the rockery?

still is……

Xie Wan Ning said, "The night before Lu Ziyan left Beijing, he came to my room."

Pei Yuqing's body stiffened, and he subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

"During the years since we got engaged, he has come to my yard and knows where my boudoir is. That night, I was sleeping soundly and woke up when I realized something was wrong. I saw a dark shadow standing beside the bed."

Thinking of that night, Xie Wan Ning was still frightened. She sniffed and said, "It was Lu Ziyan. He broke into my boudoir at night and stood by the bed, looking at me."

Pei Yuqing held his breath for a while, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders, pushed her away a little, looked into her eyes, and gently stroked her: "Are you crying?"

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She thought he would ask what Lu Ziyan said and did, but she didn't expect that the first question he asked was...

"Don't be afraid." Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Yuqing lowered his head and kissed her hair, and coaxed her carefully: "It's all over. He is no longer in the capital. No one will come to scare you again."

Xie Wan Ning asked: "Don't you want to know what he is doing here?"

In the Duke's Mansion, which was packed with guests, in broad daylight, the lunatic dared to kidnap her and kiss her behind the rockery, and broke into her boudoir at night...

Pei Yuqing's lips trembled slightly. He reached out and grabbed the back of her head, hugging her again. "It's my fault. I didn't think of arranging someone to protect you in advance."

He had not anticipated Lu Ziyan's arrogance.

With Lu Ziyan's understanding of Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, and since he was leaving Beijing the next day, it was very likely that he could sneak into her boudoir that night.

But he did not arrange secret guards to protect her in advance.

How scared she must have been, waking up in the middle of her sleep to see a man standing beside her bed.

Or the man who had flirted with her during the day.

He blamed himself so much that his heart ached, but Xie Wan Ning was not so unreasonable.

She said, “This is none of your business.”

How could she blame him for this? She blamed Lu Ziyan for being too bullying, blamed the guards of the Marquis Xuanping's mansion for not providing good protection, and even blamed herself for not being able to judge people well. She never blamed him.

They are both noblemen from aristocratic families, so why are their personalities so different?

Pei Yuqing gently held her hand and whispered, "What is he doing here?"

Xie Wan Ning keenly sensed that something was wrong with him. After a moment of silence, she said unhappily, "It's not what you think. He's not that crazy."

Hearing this, Pei Yuqing felt relieved, but soon realized that she was defending that person, and her tone suddenly became a little cold, "Really?"
