Lu Ziyan didn't want her to go back as someone else's wife, so he kidnapped her and kept her as a beauty in his brothel. The thought only flashed through his mind once before he subconsciously rejected it.
This was the girl he had been engaged to since he was twelve years old. He cherished her and had never treated her with any disrespect. How could he bear to keep her as a concubine who could not be seen in public?
You can't just hug her like this without knowing the reason.
If he wanted to take her back, he would do it in a dignified manner, carrying her in a sedan chair carried by eight people and holding her in his arms as his wife.
Thinking of this, Lu Ziyan's face warmed slightly, and his eyes even showed some tenderness and affection.
Xie Wan Ning was already disturbed by his mood swings and was the first to look away.
The autumn breeze was blowing gently, and the jade pendant on her waist swayed slightly. Xie Wan Ning stepped inside, and the door slowly closed behind her. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
This was a two-entry courtyard. Lu Ziyan's personal soldiers were guarding the front yard. Only Ming Jian followed in and led the way. He climbed a few steps, walked to the door of a wing room, pushed the door open, bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and then retreated.
They were the only two people left in the large courtyard.
Lu Ziyan said, "It's windy outside, let's go inside and talk."
He walked a few steps, turned around and saw that she was motionless. He clenched his fists and put them to his lips and coughed twice. He tilted his head and smiled, "What are you thinking about? I'm still injured. Even if I want to touch you, I'm powerless now, understand?"
Xie Wan Ning: “…”
Forget it, she couldn't beat him, and she couldn't escape either. She just hoped that he would keep his word and let her go.
A charcoal fire had been lit in the room early, and it was very warm. Not long after Xie Wan Ning came in, her little face turned red from the warmth.
The two sat across the table from each other. Lu Ziyan looked at the cloak on her body, tapped it with his fingertips, and said, "Take it off first, and put it on when you go out later. This way you won't catch a cold easily."
Xie Wan Ning ignored him and said directly: "You kidnapped me here, what do you want to say? Say it quickly."
It was getting late, and she hadn't returned home yet, so she couldn't keep it a secret for much longer.
But Lu Ziyan was very persistent. He tapped the table with his fingertips and said, "I don't want to hear about you catching a cold in a few days."
Wind-cold can be severe or minor.
In Lu Ziyan's eyes, the girl opposite him was so fragile that she would fall down if the wind blew, and she needed careful care.
If possible, he even wanted to hold the person in his arms and do everything himself.
Xie Wan Ning didn't want to waste time with him and indeed felt a little hot, so she gently pulled the straps to take off her cloak.
The impatience in his heart had reached its peak, and it showed in his eyes and eyebrows.
Lu Ziyan seemed unaware. He sat upright, with broad shoulders and a straight back. His deep eyes stared at her intently, and there was a darkness in them that no one could understand.
Xie Wan Ning boasted that she knew him well enough because of the memory in her dream, but she couldn't understand the meaning of his eyes.
I just felt a little nervous when being looked at like this.
Too nervous to break the eerie silence.
After a long time, Lu Ziyan blinked gently.
"Wanwan," he said in a hoarse voice, "I'm here to give you an explanation."
Xie Wan Ning didn't understand what was going on, and he just said he would give her an explanation.
But they have cleared up their relationship, and since the breakup of the engagement, they have nothing to do with each other in terms of marriage. What does he need to explain to her?
Outside the window, the autumn wind howled, blowing up the fallen leaves, creating a bleak scene in itself, while inside the house the tea had already boiled, making a gurgling sound, and the steam spreading everywhere, making people feel a little relaxed for no reason.
"When our wedding date was approaching, but you insisted on canceling the engagement, I was confused..." Lu Ziyan's voice was low and he spoke slowly, "After all, before that, you were clearly looking forward to marrying me."
"I've been wondering why you suddenly changed."
"Is it because I said those nonsense that I am disappointed in you, or is it because you don't believe my explanation at all and think that Liu Manrou and I have an affair?"
"I also wondered if you had transferred your affection to someone else..."
At this point, he paused, raised his hand to refill her hot tea, and said softly, "I had a dream after I passed out that night."
Xie Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
His expression was stiff, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Lu Ziyan looked at her without blinking, and seeing her reaction like that, his last bit of luck was gone.
really……
He closed his eyes to hide the despair in his eyes, but his expression still revealed a bit of misery.
She had also experienced such absurd dreams.
Don't blame her for being eager to break off the engagement, don't blame her for marrying someone else, don't blame her for changing her mind.
It's all his fault.
It's his fault.
He had never felt so vulnerable and desperate.
What's the meaning?
What did he mean by that?
What does his expression mean?
Xie Wan Ning's fingertips holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably.
He also had those dreams, and he also had some memories that did not belong to this world?
Those memories of him bullying her, humiliating her, and betraying her?
All this was too much effort. Xie Wan Ning was in a state of confusion, but her mind became clearer.
So, everything that happened in the dream was really their past life?
She was not a so-called bystander, but had experienced it herself.
Perhaps she died so unjustly in her previous life that even God couldn't bear it and made her remember everything.
And now, he remembered everything.
He remembered that he owed her a life, so he came to give her an explanation.
Surprisingly, it is like this.
Xie Wan Ning's mind went blank and she stared at him blankly.
She looked helpless, like a little girl who was lost and at a loss. Lu Ziyan's heart suddenly went weak and he raised his arms almost subconsciously, wanting to hold her in his arms.
