Chapter 60

"So he went to your room at night to catch up with you?"

His voice was filled with a rare hint of mockery.

Xie Wan Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, carefully looked at his face, and asked tentatively: "Are you unhappy?"

Pei Yuqing: “…No.”

"I'm just unhappy." Xie Wanning glanced at him and explained, "Don't be unhappy, he didn't do anything too outrageous to me."

"Too?" Pei Yuqing repeated slowly, his expression unclear.

Xie Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, and finally tasted something.

The corners of her lips curved up and she said, "It's really not too outrageous. He just hugged me like you are doing now."

Pei Yuqing's breathing stagnated and he didn't speak for a long time.

Now that she had decided to speak out, she intended to be honest.

Xie Wan Ning continued, "He also asked me to wait for him to come back, saying that when he comes back he will ask my parents for permission to marry me to him again, and that he will ask me to stay away from you and all other men."

"He was very aggressive at the time, and he looked like he would not leave unless I agreed..."

"In that situation, I didn't dare to anger him, so I could only swallow my anger and agree."

Now thinking back to the night when Lu Ziyan trapped her on the bed in her boudoir, Xie Wan Ning still felt hatred for him. She tightened her grip on his collar and said viciously, "It was after that day that I decided to find someone to marry and get rid of him completely."

A man broke into her boudoir at night, hugged her forcibly, and forced her to wait for him...

Just from her description, Pei Yuqing could imagine how much injustice this girl had suffered at that time.

He patted the top of her head gently and said with fear: "It's all my fault."

It was all his fault that he didn't anticipate that man to be so cruel and yet he still vowed that he would protect her.

...That night, if that man really wanted to do something to her, it would be too late for him to make amends.

"You are really not a good person," Xie Wan Ning snorted, still feeling a little upset: "You let a girl propose to you twice, and you still keep saying that you like her."

Pei Yuqing smiled bitterly: "...I was wrong."

"You are the first person I want to marry, but if you don't agree, I can't force you to marry me." Xie Wan Ning said: "Do you know what would have happened to me if you hadn't tried to keep me just now?"

"I will marry someone else, no matter if it's my cousins ​​from my maternal grandfather's family or my uncle's disciples. As long as they can marry me within three months, I will marry them no matter who they are."

Anyway, no matter what, she would marry a pig or a dog, and it was impossible for her to wait obediently for Lu Ziyan to return to Beijing.

Pei Yuqing was stunned by what he heard.

It was not until this moment that he understood how much this girl resisted renewing her relationship with Lu Ziyan.

Before this, Pei Yuqing had similar ideas to Lu Ziyan. She always felt that she was disheartened by Lu Ziyan's cold treatment over the years, and because he had a mistress just before his wedding.

But the love between them cannot be faked. If Lu Ziyan says a few more nice words and coaxes her patiently, maybe she will still marry him after all the twists and turns.

He didn't dare to rashly agree to marry her. Besides being concerned about his own health, he was more afraid that she would regret it in the future.

He was reluctant to let her regret it, but if they were really engaged and married, he would not be willing to let her go.

Just like now, he just held the person in his arms and couldn't let go anymore.

He tightened his arms, lowered his head and kissed the girl's hair, and said softly: "Wanwan, I won't let you regret your choice." Even if she used marriage to get rid of other men, he was the first person she thought of, and that was enough.

Seeing prey makes you happy, that is also joy.

She likes him.

Xie Wan Ning smiled and buried her face in his arms, thinking it was strange in her heart.

She didn't feel uncomfortable at all despite their intimacy.

During the time when she liked Lu Ziyan the most, she loved to stick to him and missed him very much when she didn't see him for a day. As long as he was in the capital, she couldn't help but run to see him.

But that person always had a sullen face, so she didn't dare get too close to him. When they were alone, they rarely had anything warm to say to each other.

At the time, she just thought he wasn't considerate enough. Now, thinking back, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and their closest time was actually after she proposed to cancel the engagement...

The young man with the spear in his hand had indeed been restrained towards her when they were still an engaged couple.

Perhaps it was because she was a bystander and had already jumped out of that swamp, Xie Wan Ning was suddenly able to feel a little bit of Lu Ziyan's feelings.

His repeated entanglements during this period were not entirely due to his unwillingness, but just as he said, he should have some differences in his feelings towards her.

Come to think of it, during the years when she loved and pestered him, she rarely missed him when she came to see him. She was able to meet such a young and successful busy man almost every time.

Unless he was away on a mission, or went to the military camp outside the capital to train troops and was not at home.

Whenever he was at home, whether he was meeting guests in the study, chatting with friends, or even discussing important matters with his staff and subordinates, as long as he heard that she was coming, even if he could not get away for a while, he would call Ming Jian to tell her and ask her to wait.

She would always see him, even if he was stern, cold and indifferent.

Xie Wan Ning thought, maybe this was the reason why she could persist with her enthusiasm for so long.

After all, she was not stupid. Even if she didn't care about gains and losses, she would still feel tired. If he really didn't treat her differently, she might have come to her senses a long time ago.

Where is the use...

"What are you thinking about?" She didn't speak for a long time, Pei Yuqing asked gently: "Are you sleepy?"

Xie Wan Ning closed her eyes and hummed, then took a deep breath and smelled the cool and light fragrance on him. She asked curiously, "I've always wanted to ask you, what kind of fragrance do you use? It smells so good."

She had no idea what being reserved was. She bent her head so seriously to smell the scent on a man and said it smelled very comfortable.

Pei Yuqing felt hot all over, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she was playing a trick on him again.

"Don't smell it." He held the back of her neck to stop her little head from running around in his arms. His voice was slightly hoarse. "It's Buddha's hand incense, made with Buddha lotus and a few medicinal herbs. If you like it, I'll give it to you tomorrow..."

"I don't want it." Xie Wan Ning didn't notice that he was wrong. She raised her head from his arms, her eyes just caught his chin, and she smiled with narrowed eyes: "This kind of light and invigorating fragrance is more suitable for a gentle man like you. I just want to smell it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she watched the slightly protruding Adam's apple on his slender neck slowly slide down.

Xie Wan Ning: “…”

She was so surprised that she reached out and poked it without thinking.

The next moment, his wrist was grabbed and he was stopped.

"Wanwan..." Pei Yuqing's voice was unnaturally low, "Don't bother me."
