Chapter 68
But just wipe the sweat off your face, why is she so nervous? She has forgotten how she nestled in his arms last night, poked his Adam's apple, and sniffed his scent.
Xie Wan Ning certainly didn't forget. She pursed her lips and said, "You change fast."
She was just a little uncomfortable with the fact that someone who used to be particularly careful to keep a distance would now take the initiative to wipe her sweat.
"Wanwan," Pei Yuqing called her name softly, looking at her with burning eyes: "You are my fiancée now."
Even if it was just a verbal agreement, they were still an engaged couple with the approval of their parents.
Whenever he thought of this, Pei Yuqing couldn't suppress his excitement.
If he wasn't afraid of offending the little girl, he would have wanted to hug her in his arms.
He calmed himself down, raised his hand and poured her a glass of iced milk, and said, "It's my duty to take care of my fiancée."
Taking care of your fiancée is what you should do...
Xie Wan Ning was stunned when she heard this. It was not the first time for her to be someone's fiancée, but it was the first time she heard someone say such words to her.
So, taking care of your fiancée is what you should do, right?
The milk is served with crushed ice and honey. It smells sweet, and the coolness brought by the crushed ice passes through the jade bowl to the hands.
He had specially prepared this in the carriage.
Xie Wan Ning held the jade cup and drank a sip of milk, feeling truly relieved.
She took a deep breath and called his name.
Pei Yuqing hummed, his eyes fixed on her slender hand holding the jade cup, his eyes were calm.
Xie Wan Ning asked, "You are not going to propose marriage, and you still have time to accompany me to stay in the other courtyard?"
As soon as she put down the jade cup, her hand was held by the man who had been waiting for a long time.
Gently squeezing the girl's palm, Pei Yuqing said, "My mother has been preparing for me to marry a wife for more than ten years. She finally waited for the opportunity, so there is no place for me to interfere."
As he said this, he chuckled and said, "Be at ease every night. I will definitely marry you within three months."
His laughter was gentle and close to her ears. Xie Wan Ning's heart was moved when she heard it. She turned her head and glared at him: "Stop teasing me!"
"Okay, I was wrong." He apologized gently, lowered his eyes to look at her, and said seriously: "Wanwan, it's too late for you to regret now."
Before getting on the carriage, he sent a message and asked the servant to go back home and tell his parents.
The verbal engagement has been made, and within a few days, the marriage proposal will be formally proposed and the wedding date will be discussed.
At this point, she could no longer retreat.
Xie Wan Ning knew this, of course, and she had no intention of regretting it. But when she heard him say that, she asked inexplicably, "Are you afraid that I won't marry you?"
Pei Yuqing didn't say anything.
From last night until now, he has had a sense of unreality, as if he were in the clouds and was still floating.
But he was sure of one thing: if she wanted to go back on her word now, he would not be able to agree to it calmly.
He had clearly promised last night that after they got married, he would let her go whenever she wanted to divorce.
But overnight, he regretted it.
He had already held the treasure in his arms, and now he was asked to give it away. He couldn't remain calm about losing it again.
His eyes were focused and tender, with a deep meaning in them. Xie Wan Ning was inexplicably nervous and whispered, "I don't regret it, don't think too much."
"Yeah, I know," Pei Yuqing smiled warmly.
He was just reminding her.
Xie Wan Ning: “…”
Suddenly I felt that the person in front of me didn't seem to be a good person either.
From the first time they met, he had always been good-tempered in front of her, allowing her to tease him and make fun of him, and never getting angry. But could a man who secretly controlled the Skyguard really be so gentle and harmless?
She broke off the engagement and was forced by Lu Ziyan to find someone to marry. The first face that appeared in her mind was him.
Even though he was eleven years older than her and they had only known each other for a short time, she just trusted him.
Until now, the two of them are getting engaged, and it was she who took the initiative.
Both times she proposed, she was the first to ask the other party if he wanted to marry her.
Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning was suddenly shocked.
Was she seduced by this man, or was she plotting against him?
The girl's expression changed dramatically. Pei Yuqing looked at her for a long time, then lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead: "What are you thinking about?"
Xie Wan Ning felt the warmth on his forehead and reached out to touch it. Then she realized that she might have been seduced.
It seems that she is taking the initiative, but in fact everything is under other people's control?
This feels really bad.
She felt a prick in her heart, as if she was pricked by a needle, and frowned, "Sit opposite me, don't get so close to me."
"What's wrong?" Pei Yuqing was stunned for a moment, not understanding what made her angry, "Wanwan..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Wan Ning pulled out her hand that he had held tightly and said, "It's very hot, don't stick to me, go sit opposite me."
There was silence for a few moments in the spacious carriage.
Pei Yuqing finally got up as he was told and sat opposite.
The two sat opposite each other, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "What's wrong with Wanwan? Why don't you tell me?"
He was fine all of a sudden, but suddenly his face turned gloomy, and he really seemed a bit moody.
But it’s hard to say, Xie Wan Ning, I suspect you are seducing me into a trap.
Perhaps from the day when the news of Lu Ziyan keeping a mistress came out, and then when Liu Manrou became pregnant, she and Lu Ziyan broke off the engagement.
They were caught admiring the flowers alone in the flower field, and Lu Ziyan was furious and kidnapped her to the rockery...
Except for the night when Lu Ziyan broke into her boudoir, everything else was under his control.
Including the fact that she was eager to find someone to marry in order to get rid of Lu Ziyan's entanglement.
The people around him took a look at him and immediately saw his gentleness and harmlessness, his gentlemanly demeanor, and his good temper.
...and took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to marry her.
Xie Wan Ning was very upset and had to vent.
Without thinking, she looked up at the man opposite her: "We got married to get rid of Lu Ziyan's entanglement with me. Once Lu Ziyan gives up, I want to divorce. Will you agree?"
He had promised this last night, and now she brought it up again.
It was like an ice knife, directly piercing the seemingly sweet relationship between the two.
Pei Yuqing's heart stagnated, and he opened his lips as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out for a long time.
Xie Wan Ning waited patiently, determined to get him to give her a direct promise again.
After a long silence, Pei Yuqing nodded gently, hummed, and said, "I'll listen to you."
I will listen to you...
After a long time, Xie Wan Ning felt guilty.
Especially seeing him now with his eyes downcast, avoiding her gaze, as if he had suffered some kind of injustice, it really makes people feel soft-hearted.
Her expression was slightly moved. She didn't want to be deceived by the man's beauty, so she steeled her heart and continued, "Then remember to keep your promise. Don't go back on your word or use any tricks."
