"Does it hurt? Do you want to apply some medicine?" Lu Ziyan said, "I'm sorry for losing my temper. I promise I will be gentler next time."
"Later?" Xie Wan Ning's hand holding the bowl froze. She raised her eyes and looked at him warily. "How many times do you want to come again after what happened last night?"
Lu Ziyan was speechless for a long while, and Xie Wan Ning said again: "Not even once!"
"You are making things difficult for me," Lu Ziyan said in a light voice, with a gloomy look on his stern face. "Wanwan, I can't help but touch you, and you shouldn't use that marriage certificate to reject me. If I save you that day, I will write a letter to Yunjin to send to the capital, asking the emperor to issue an order to dissolve your marriage. The day should have come."
Xie Wan Ning was not aware of this matter, and frowned when she heard it, "Will Your Majesty agree?"
"He will agree," Lu Ziyan smiled slightly, "We will go to Northern Frontier tomorrow. Wanwan cares so much about her status, so how about we hold a wedding in Northern Frontier?"
Although their wedding in their previous life was grand and solemn, rumors about him and Liu Manrou spread throughout the capital at that time. Now that she thought about it carefully, she was indeed wronged.
Since they are starting over, they should hold another wedding and tell the world.
It was just that the north was bitterly cold, with only the desert sand and broken walls, and no groups of slaves to serve her, which was a bit unfair to her...
He thought for a moment and added, "Why don't we hold one in the north first, and then have another lively one after we return to the capital."
Seeing that he had already mentioned the topic of marriage, Xie Wan Ning ignored the rule of not talking while eating, and hurriedly swallowed the rice in her mouth, refusing, "No!"
His gentle gaze just now darkened, and he said calmly: "Wanwan doesn't want to give me a name?"
"..." Xie Wan Ning was speechless for a long while, and said with difficulty: "Marriage is not a joke... How can it be rushed like this?"
"Really?" He smiled, "You weren't in a rush when you married him?"
He couldn't even mention this, because as soon as he did he would become murderous.
Even though the murderous intent was not directed at her, Xie Wan Ning could sense it. She froze slightly and whispered tentatively: "If I...if I start over with you, can you let Pei Yuqing go?"
That day he threatened to chop Pei Yuqing into minced meat...
This man always keeps his word. She has seen with her own eyes how the Jin people were chopped into meat paste, and she has also seen with her own eyes how he crushed Jin Wuji's hand bones, cut off his ears, and stabbed his eyes.
Whenever Xie Wan Ning imagined that Pei Yuqing would suffer these tortures one day in the future, she would feel cold all over her body.
...She had already done Pei Yuqing wrong, so how could she let him fall into such a situation because of her?
No way!
Her face turned pale, and Lu Ziyan saw it, feeling extremely unhappy. He said with a half-smile, "It really makes me look like a villain who broke up a couple."
The reality she least wanted to face was right before her. She had fallen in love with that sickly man. They were a loving couple, and for the sake of her husband's safety, she had to bow to this evil man and devote herself to him.
They have only been together for a short time, how could he have made her fall in love with him!
"Promise me not to kill innocent people again, and don't attack Pei Yuqing," Xie Wan Ning held his sleeve and whispered, "If you promise me these, I... am willing to marry you again."
I would marry you again...
Lu Ziyan was stunned, and his eyes were dazed for a moment.
He almost forgot how long he had been waiting for these words.
What a heartless girl, she would break up with him if she said so, and marry him if she said so. She would not let him suffer and despair, go crazy and regret, but she would never look back at him.
She no longer loved him in her heart, and even hated and despised him.
Now she nodded and said she was willing to marry him again.
Such pleasant words had a premise that he least wanted to hear.
Lu Ziyan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and held back the question that was already on the tip of his tongue.
Did she love that old man so much that she was willing to endure the disgust and marry him just to let him let the other person go?
The man's eyes gradually turned red for some reason. He looked at her deeply with eyes that showed no emotion. His eyes flickered for a long time before he nodded slowly, "Okay, I promise you."
Xie Wan Ning's expression relaxed, but she looked at him suspiciously again. She didn't expect that he would agree so readily.
Lu Ziyan smiled slightly, reached out and patted her little head, coaxing: "Eat your meal, it's getting cold."
He was clearly only two years older than her, and used to be a cold and aloof person, but over time, he became more and more skilled at coaxing her.
Xie Wan Ning lowered her head somewhat uncomfortably and concentrated on eating.
…………
That night, after a day of rest, Xie Wan Ning, who was able to move freely, came out of the bathroom and saw Lu Ziyan had entered her room at some point and was sitting on her couch.
Hearing her footsteps approaching, he looked up and said before she could chase him away, "I will hold you while sleeping tonight and I promise not to touch you."
The hand wiping her hair paused, Xie Wan Ning curled her lips and said, "I don't believe it."
To her, he was an insatiable hungry wolf, the culprit why she had to lie in the carriage all day today.
Her accusation was too strong. Lu Ziyan touched his nose bone and said without any guilt: "I know my limits. Even if you want it, I won't give it to you."
"I want it?" Xie Wan Ning was almost laughing at his shamelessness, and blurted out: "When did I ever think of wanting you?"
As soon as these words came out, she secretly said that something was wrong.
With this person's current sensitivity...
Sure enough, Lu Ziyan, who had been a little bit ruffian just now, restrained his expression and looked at her quietly.
Facing that look, Xie Wanning said dryly, "Don't talk nonsense in the future."
