Lu Yunchuan nodded.
He gave Gu Huaiyuan a warning look before leaving.
Gu Huaiyuan and Lu Xuening looked at each other for a long time before Lu Xuening spoke softly, "Brother Huaiyuan, come in and sit down!"
With that, she moved gracefully towards the pavilion ahead. Gu Huaiyuan followed her into a room. Inside, a table was set out, laden with various exquisite pastries and drinks. She poured Gu Huaiyuan a glass of wine and handed it to him with a smile.
Gu Huaiyuan didn't answer. He looked at Lu Xuening and said, "Ningning, Ningning, I..."
As soon as he spoke, Lu Xuening put down her wine glass and burst into tears.
“Ningning, you…” Gu Huaiyuan instinctively wanted to hug Lu Xuening, but then he lowered his outstretched hand. He had come today to annul the engagement with her.
“I know what you want to say. It’s me. I’m not worthy to be your Daoist partner anymore. I’m just a marginal person in the Lu family now. How can I be your wife? I’m not good enough for you,” Lu Xuening said, crying.
"I...I...I don't think you're not good enough for me, it's just...it's just that right now..."
Gu Huaiyuan tried to find a plausible reason for himself, but couldn't.
"No need to say anything more, I can never compare to Seventh Sister. Brother Huaiyuan, I know you regret it. Ningning doesn't want to make things difficult for you. Drink this cup of wine with me today, and from now on we will have nothing to do with each other." Lu Xuening picked up a cup of wine while crying, her face full of pain and sorrow.
She spoke with such magnanimity, and cried so bitterly, how could Gu Huaiyuan possibly refuse? He looked at the wine glass held in her delicate hands, and without thinking, picked it up and drank it down.
Seeing him drink the wine, Lu Xuening revealed a smug expression.
After finishing his drink, Gu Huaiyuan put down his glass and looked into Lu Xuening's tearful eyes. He felt a wave of guilt, especially remembering how he had vowed to marry no one but her. He looked away and said, "Ningning, although we can't be Daoist partners, we can be friends in the future."
"From now on, no matter what happens to you, I will never abandon you, I..."
As they talked, Gu Huaiyuan sensed something was wrong.
Why? Why did he feel his body burning up? A rush of blood to his lower body made him feel hot all over, and Lu Xuening in front of him became incredibly alluring. He reached out and grabbed Lu Xuening.
Lu Xuening was secretly delighted: It worked.
"Brother Huaiyuan, Brother Huaiyuan, what's wrong?"
She pretended to help Gu Huaiyuan up, but actually she was deliberately teasing him. She reached out and stroked his arm, his waist...
Gu Huaiyuan felt as if his body was about to burst into flames. He was puzzled at first, but quickly realized what was happening.
He looked at Lu Xuening in disbelief: "You...you drugged me?"
"Brother Huaiyuan, what are you saying?" Lu Xuening pretended to be stupid. "You're all sweaty, shall I help you take off these clothes?"
She reached out to undo Gu Huaiyuan's belt.
"Get out of my way!"
Gu Huaiyuan shoved Lu Xuening violently, causing her to crash into a shelf, causing the porcelain to fall and shatter on the ground. Gu Huaiyuan, panting heavily, glared angrily at Lu Xuening.
He gritted his teeth, he never expected Lu Xuening to try to force him to submit in this way: "You, you shameless, shameless!!"
Lu Xuening was furious. How could she be so shameless?
"You swore to me that you would marry no one but me? It's you who changed your mind, yet you've turned it into me being shameless? You provoked me, Lu Xuening, and now you think you can just kick me aside without paying any price? You're dreaming. Today, you have no choice but to obey." Lu Xuening's expression turned ferocious.
"Huff... huff..."
Seeing Gu Huaiyuan desperately suppressing his desire, Lu Xuening suddenly softened her tone and said sweetly, "Brother Huaiyuan, just give in to me..."
She walked step by step toward Gu Huaiyuan, loosened her belt, took off her outer robe, revealing her fragrant shoulders and red strapless bra. The red strapless bra made her skin look incredibly delicate and fair, almost causing Gu Huaiyuan, who was already struggling with desire, to pounce on Lu Xuening.
However, Gu Huaiyuan still retained a sliver of clarity, and he made a decisive move. A flash of cold light appeared in his hand, and a dagger appeared in his left hand. He gripped the dagger and plunged it into his right shoulder, causing blood to gush out. The intense pain brought him back to his senses.
He immediately ran towards the window, then transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the rapids below Crimson Serpent Peak.
"Gu Huaiyuan—"
Lu Xuening rushed to the window, but the fog obscured her view.
Her eyes widened. She hadn't expected that Gu Huaiyuan would rather harm himself than have her. How despicable! How despicable!
What to do now? What should she do? Was she really going to serve this good-for-nothing Lu Yunli until she died? Why was her life so miserable? Lu Xuening slumped into a chair and started to cry. She was crying about her miserable life.
After a while, footsteps sounded; it was Lu Yunchuan.
"Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, what's wrong?"
As soon as Lu Yunchuan stepped into the room, he saw his eighth sister, disheveled and crying, with Gu Huaiyuan nowhere to be found. He suddenly remembered something and flew into a rage. Lu Xuening looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears. He grasped her hand and said excitedly:
"Did Gu Huaiyuan bully you? Damn it! I'll kill him!"
Lu Xuening stared blankly at Lu Yunchuan's handsome face, lost in thought. Suddenly, a thought popped into her head: Second Brother likes her too, right? Then why doesn't she just marry Second Brother?
Gu Huaiyuan no longer likes her. If she goes to the Gu family, no one in the Gu family will support her. It would be better for her to become the young mistress of the second young master of the Lu family in Kunshan.
Lu Yunchuan, filled with murderous intent, was about to go find Gu Huaiyuan when suddenly, a pair of soft hands embraced his waist. He heard his eighth sister's frightened voice:
"Second brother, don't go, don't go..."
His heart skipped a beat. He turned around and grabbed Lu Xuening's hand. His gaze fell down and he saw Lu Xuening's open chest, her snow-white skin, and the barely visible curves of her skin...
A surge of heat rushed down his body, and he quickly looked away. But a soft, warm body slithered up to him like a snake, pressing against him tightly. His eighth sister hugged him tightly, crying, "Second brother, don't go, hold me tight, hold me tight..."
Lu Yunchuan's breathing quickened, and Lu Xuening sensed the change in his body, feeling a surge of triumph. She looked up at Lu Yunchuan, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips. Lu Yunchuan's eyes widened; the desire within him was completely ignited.
He hugged Lu Xuening tightly and kissed her passionately.
Is this a dream?
If this is a dream, then don't wake up!
Like Lu Yunli, Lu Yunchuan's feelings for Lu Xuening had long surpassed those of siblings, but he had hidden them very well. But now he could no longer hide them.
Clothes fell to the ground one by one, and suggestive sounds echoed through the air...
