Chapter 70

Now Xie Wan Ning didn't dare to say that she understood Lu Ziyan at all.

She also could not imagine what Lu Ziyan would do when he found out that she was going to marry someone else.

"If Ming Jian passes the message to Yunzhou today..." She paused, frowned, and said angrily, "How did Ming Jian know that I got on your carriage?"

Pei Yuqing reached out and tidied up her hair, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Maybe one of his people is waiting outside your house."

The hand on her forehead moved down her cheek to her shoulder. Xie Wan Ning only felt the hand on her right shoulder exert a slight force. She froze for a moment and let him hold her in his arms.

It was still the familiar Buddha's hand scent. She sniffed it lightly, listening to the steady heartbeat of the man in front of her, but the person she was thinking about was Lu Ziyan.

He was right. Now Lu Ziyan might really be capable of asking someone to wait at her doorstep.

The empty chest was finally filled. Pei Yuqing tightened his arms, closed his eyes, rubbed his chin against the girl's forehead, and whispered, "Be good, don't be afraid of him being so scared. I promise, as long as you don't regret it, no one can stop me from marrying you."

Even if Lu Ziyan rushed back from Yunzhou, he couldn't snatch the girl from his arms.

His tone was firm, but Xie Wan Ning did not agree at all.

She sniffed and whispered, "If he can break into my bedroom at night, what else can't he do?"

Lu Ziyan was not only cold and heartless, he was also violent and arrogant. From childhood to adulthood, Xie Wan Ning had never seen him afraid of anything.

If he really got the news and came back from Yunzhou, with his unfathomable martial arts power, he could easily kidnap her and make her disappear for a few days.

By then, her reputation will be completely lost, so how can she marry peacefully?

Lu Ziyan is not only the only male left in the loyal and brave Lu family, but also the most outstanding and brave general of the younger generation in the court.

The barbarians in the northern border are still ready to make a move, and the old generation of generals will have to retire one day. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Ziyan has been the emperor's treasure since he was a child. Can he really be killed?

Whatever mistakes he made over the years, he just took them lightly.

Even if she was really bullied, at most she would be punished, but she would not really lose her life.

"You don't know how scary he has become now."

The girl in my arms had a trembling voice; she was really scared.

Pei Yuqing hugged her tighter with distress, and coaxed her softly: "Then tell me, what is so scary about him?"

"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent.

How could she explain herself? She even worried that the man might just go all the way and make it a fait accompli.

She wouldn't have worried about this in the past, after all, Lu Ziyan did seem cold and heartless to her. But since she proposed to break off the engagement, he had been pestering her for so long, and with the memories in her dream confusing her, she couldn't help but worry.

In those dreams, she had just married into the Lu family. They got along quite harmoniously during their honeymoon, and she knew what he was like when he was lustful.

She could also sense that when he was trapped on the couch that night, he might have had this thought.

Although he restrained himself later, it was because she promised to wait for him to come back.

And now she is turning around and marrying someone else...

The girl in his arms didn't speak for a long time. Pei Yuqing didn't know what to do with her. He sighed and said, "If you are so worried, why did you tell Ming Jian about our relationship just now?" "How can we keep this secret?" Xie Wan Ning said, "In the next two days, our two families will discuss the marriage. By then, everyone who should know will know."

No matter how much she was afraid of Lu Ziyan, she had never thought of discussing marriage in secret.

Besides, even if she agreed, the two elders would definitely not agree.

Pei Yuqing continued: "So, since you agreed to marry me, are you still afraid of letting Lu Ziyan know?"

"...Of course not," Xie Wan Ning was choked by his question and said unhappily, "I just want to get married smoothly. After you and I are married, it won't matter if Lu Ziyan knows."

"If Ming Jian hadn't stayed in the capital, no one would have come to tell him about this. By the time he returned to the capital after suppressing the rebellion, it would have been too late to stop you and me."

After all, the ladies of the Lu family were more concerned about Lu Ziyan's future. It was already dangerous for him to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and they would not disturb him with the news of his ex-fiancée getting married.

She spoke with such earnestness that it was obvious that she had really thought a lot about it and was really afraid of Lu Ziyan.

Even though she was in his arms, her mind was full of other men.

The tenderness in Pei Yuqing's eyes slowly faded away, and he said in a deep voice, "Then I tell you, Ming Jian won't do that either, at least not now. He won't spread the news of our marriage proposal to Yunzhou."

Without waiting for her to ask, he began to explain, "Yunzhou Jiedushi Lu Ping has his own army and is disobeying the imperial edict. The emperor wants to punish him. Lu Ziyan's leading the army to quell the rebellion is a major national event. Counting the days, he has only been in Yunzhou for a few days, and the war has just begun. At this moment, not only will the ladies of the Lu family not disturb him, but Ming Jian will definitely not dare to disturb him unless it is absolutely necessary."

Otherwise, if Lu Ziyan really got the news and became flustered and affected the command of the war, the emperor would definitely punish him.

What's more, if he abandons the war and returns to Beijing...

Xie Wan Ning was not familiar with state affairs. After hearing his words, she thought a lot and her eyes gradually brightened.

Pei Yuqing glanced at her, then lowered his head and kissed her eyes, and continued, "Ming Jian only knows that you and I are discussing marriage, but we don't know the exact date yet. He wouldn't have thought that we would get married so soon."

And since she was so scared, it would be okay for him to keep the specific wedding date secret for the time being.

Anyway, he would calculate a good day to pass on the news and wait for the person to come on the wedding day.

How could he give up completely if he didn't let that person witness their wedding day with his own eyes?

Noticing that the anxiety of the girl in his arms was gradually easing, Pei Yuqing suppressed all his emotions, smiled slightly, and whispered: "Hao Wanwan, do you know how I feel when I hold my beloved girl in my arms and she is afraid of other men?"

Xie Wan Ning's whole body stiffened, and she slowly raised her head in his arms.

The moment their eyes met, he bent down and kissed her smooth forehead, and coaxed her: "Relax, your fiancé is not so useless that you would allow him to mess up our marriage."

He held her face in his hands, his thumb unconsciously stroking the back of her ear, and said helplessly: "You are always worried at such a young age. You won't be able to sleep at night again."

Xie Wan Ning's tense mood relaxed little by little under his comfort. Finally, she reached out to hold his collar and pulled it down a little. She raised her chin and kissed his cheek, whispering, "I was just scared by him."

Pei Yuqing certainly knew how he got scared.

Yunying, an unmarried girl, was sleeping soundly, and a man was standing beside the couch. Who wouldn't be scared?

Not to mention, the man was the one who had molested and threatened her during the day.
