Chapter 183
In the darkness, all senses become extremely clear.
Yi Ning tried to struggle out from under him, but Luo Shenyuan held her down again: "Answer me."
Yi Ning tilted her head back slightly. "I remember, how could I not remember?" But she could hardly hold herself up.
Luo Shenyuan seemed to sense it and immediately hugged her waist. She was finally rescued from the situation of being on the verge of breaking her waist and immediately bumped into him.
By this time, she had finally adapted to the darkness and could see each other's faces clearly.
Yi Ning felt that he was different from his previous life a year ago. His handsome face was more angular, his hair was sharp as a knife, and the elder still had the boldness that came with power. Yi Ning didn't notice this. Because they were so close, he could see a hint of light on his lips. Yi Ning said, "You seem to have lost weight."
"I see that you have gained weight." Luo Shenyuan said coldly.
She wasn't just plump. When he'd just laid on top of her, her softness was against him. Perhaps she was breastfeeding, and the faint scent of milk trapped in his arms made his lower abdomen warm. It was a long time since they'd been apart. If it weren't for his immense self-control, he wouldn't have been able to talk to her properly.
Yi Ning suddenly fell silent. She asked, "Third brother, how have you been doing in the year I was away? Is there anyone else you like?" She said, "I know you joined the cabinet and became an elder. After all, since I disappeared inexplicably, there was no one around to take care of you."
Luo Shenyuan was silent for a moment, then he smiled and said slowly, "I have met a few. There's a girl named Ge who has excellent character, talent and beauty. She's deeply in love with me and is always full of affection every time we meet. I'm just thinking about how to respond to her feelings so as not to let her love go to waste."
The more Luo Yining listened, the more uncomfortable she felt. She remembered what Miss He said about him and Miss Ge being very close. Yes, he had always been so popular with other women, one after another, unstoppable. He even used to take advantage of them! Her nose was slightly sour, and she smiled: "Since Miss Ge is both talented and beautiful, I can't compare to her. Why don't you say that I died of illness and marry Miss Ge as your second wife. Miss Ge loves you and will definitely agree. You don't have to worry about me pestering you. As long as you find someone better, I am not the kind of person who will make trouble for no reason."
She pushed him away and tried to leave, but Luo Shenyuan pulled her back, pinched her shoulder, and sneered, "You're quite generous and not unreasonable. Isn't this exactly what you want? You can take your child and stay with Lu Jiaxue forever!"
Luo Yining realized for the first time that he could speak sharply. She trembled a little and whispered, "Luo Shenyuan!"
Luo Shenyuan approached her and said, "You ran away when you saw me today, otherwise I would have seen you. Are you planning to never come to see me again in your life? Hmm?"
Luo Yining's tone hardened. "In the year I wasn't there, you were as if I didn't exist. You were promoted to a high position in the cabinet, and you had a beautiful woman by your side. How could I find you? My father was injured in the war at the border, and I took care of him for several months. Lu Jiaxue disappeared on the grassland, and my father hated you even more because he couldn't find him. How could I see you?"
"Wei Ling hates me?" Luo Shenyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this. "Maybe he guessed that I sold firearms to the Waqar tribe."
How does he know!
"There's something wrong with that batch of firearms." After probing him, Luo Shenyuan relaxed a little, knowing that Yi Ning wasn't avoiding him because of Lu Jiaxue. He pondered, "Who do you think I am? If I were truly a traitor, how could Wei Ling survive? We'll definitely wipe them out completely. The firearms we sold to the Tatars were specially manufactured by us. They'll explode if we're not careful... Otherwise, how could the Tatars be so docile now? If it were just winter break, they wouldn't dare to move."
Yi Ning finally understood what he was saying. She had overlooked this point. If Wei Ling could see through it, how could Luo Shenyuan not notice it? And given his current status, what good would it do him to collaborate with the enemy and betray his country?
Of course, she felt that Luo Shenyuan must have not told her everything and he must have concealed something.
But the border issue really has nothing to do with him, as long as he doesn't collaborate with the enemy!
Luo Shenyuan let her go. He went to find a tinderbox and lit the candlestick. The room was once again filled with a dim yellow light. He placed the candlestick on the table and whispered, "Yining, come here."
Luo Yining was stunned. He looked over again and said, "Come here."
Luo Yining had no choice but to walk up to him and stare at the jade pendant on his waist. He heard him ask calmly, "During the year you haven't seen me, you feel like I don't exist, right? That's because I don't dare to think about it. I've traveled all over the country with my Jinyiwei this year, but I still miss you. At first, I couldn't find you, so I just kept thinking about you. Later, I became more and more anxious..."
He approached her, put his arm around her waist, and half-lifted her to lean against the bed. "Luo Yining, you've never felt that others could truly love you, have you?" "You lack confidence and fear being abandoned. So once someone shows signs of this, you wish you could have four legs and run away... You can't tell from the outside. After all, you're the daughter of a British Duke, and I've spoiled you since you were a child. How could you be like this? Why is it like this?"
Such an embarrassing secret was laid bare before him, the most intimate part of Yi Ning's heart. Uncovered, it seemed so direct, every blade coming straight at her.
Luo Yining took a deep breath, closed her eyes and opened them again: "Don't say anymore..." She looked very embarrassed.
"Why didn't you tell me? Now I'm telling you everything. You don't have to worry anymore..." Luo Shenyuan gently touched her hair, "Just don't worry, don't be afraid of me in the future."
