Lu Xingjian was furious, his sharp gaze fixed on Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan felt her hair stand on end from his gaze, put down the doll in her hand, and looked at him warily.
She knew that what happened in the palace garden tonight wouldn't be so easily forgotten.
Lu Xingjian's eyes grew increasingly sharp and cold.
But suddenly he leaned closer, pinched her face, and looked down at her condescendingly.
His voice was deep and ambiguous.
"Missing men?"
"Zhang Yong is a eunuch, what good is he?"
A hint of teasing and amusement surfaced in his cold eyes.
"Didn't I make you quite happy?"
"If you want it, come to me. We're husband and wife. I won't leave you to live a life of widowhood."
Su Wanwan lowered her eyes.
What difference is there between her current life and being a widow?
Not wanting to provoke him, she spoke gently:
"It doesn't matter if you live like a widow, as long as you're happy."
Lu Xingjian's brows twitched slightly.
Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then patiently said:
"I know you're angry with me about the fake pregnancy, but there was nothing I could do about it."
"The rumors about Maggie's pregnancy are rampant. If I don't announce it, am I supposed to wait for her to climb all over me and act all high and mighty?"
“I come from a prestigious family, and I cannot swallow this insult.”
Lu Xingjian smiled lightly, his tone calm and collected:
"You were really jealous of Maggie?"
"You think I'm easy to fool and fool, don't you?"
Su Wanwan's eyes narrowed slightly, not understanding why he said that.
I don't know why, but mentioning Maggie suddenly stopped working.
Lu Xingjian released her listlessly and leaned lazily against the headboard.
He's good-looking, and when he's relaxed, he's incredibly alluring, with a captivating charm that makes you want to succumb to temptation.
"You were planning to elope with Xiao Bin on the canal, weren't you?"
At the time, he was distracted by the child's situation and wary of assassination attempts by White Lotus sect members, so he didn't think too deeply about this aspect.
Today, while playing with Yan Ge'er, something the child said unintentionally struck a chord with him.
This made him feel like a joke.
He even repeatedly asserted his sovereignty in front of Xiao Bin.
It turns out that Xiao Bin almost ran away with her and their child, and she doesn't know how he feels about him.
He was probably secretly pleased: the cuckolded idiot, I almost slept with his wife.
hehe.
So what if he's an emperor?
She took advantage of his affection, repeatedly trampling on his dignity and challenging his bottom line.
Su Wanwan slowly sat up, furrowed her brows, and looked at him seriously: "Yes."
Lu Xingjian curled his lips in a sarcastic smile.
"So, you never intended to live a good life with me in the first place."
Su Wanwan bit her lip and remained silent for a while before saying:
"Sometimes I've thought about it. But I've been disappointed too much, so I've stopped thinking about it."
Lu Xingjian leaned down, supporting himself with both hands beside her, his face expressionless, staring intently into her eyes.
"And now?"
Su Wanwan was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and her mind was a complete mess, so she decided to give up entirely.
"Given the current situation, it's better to separate completely."
When she said those words, Lu Xingjian remained motionless, as if those words had no effect on him whatsoever.
If it weren't for the bulging veins on his forehead, Su Wanwan would almost have thought that he was truly tired of her.
"That's what you think." His voice was extremely calm.
Like the calm before a storm.
Su Wanwan looked warily at his face so close to hers, and after a moment of silence, said:
"There's no point in torturing each other."
Lu Xingjian smiled slightly.
"You also feel that it's mutual torture?"
He didn't move, and continued to ask, "How do you plan to break up?"
Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then said, "Just like we said at the beginning, you can arrange for me to fake my death and eliminate any future trouble."
His face gradually darkened, becoming extremely cold.
"Then what?"
Su Wanwan was unusually calm.
"My taking the child away won't affect you at all."
Lu Xingjian stared at her, a slight smile playing on his thin lips. "And then?"
Su Wanwan fell silent.
Lu Xingjian spoke up, a hint of amusement in his eyes:
"You ran away with Xiao Bin, didn't you?"
"You two are living like a family of three on an island, right?"
Su Wanwan's voice tightened as she said calmly, "Yes."
Lu Xingjian's jawline was taut, and after a long silence, he managed to squeeze out only one sentence:
"You think I won't kill him?"
Su Wanwan froze, her pupils trembling slightly, but she still tried her best to calm herself down.
"You won't."
Lu Xingjian smiled faintly: "It seems I was too kind."
"No," Su Wanwan quickly retorted, fearing that he might actually order Xiao Bin's execution in a fit of anger.
"Because you are arrogant enough. If you kill Xiao Bin, I will remember him for the rest of my life, and you will never be able to beat him."
"Only if he is alive can you truly defeat him and completely win against him."
Lu Xingjian's long, slender fingers gripped her shoulders, pushing her down onto the bed. The disdain in his movements was all too obvious.
You're overthinking it.
"You're not that important to me."
After saying that, he stood up and left with a flourish.
The Kunning Palace was warm and cozy, like springtime.
He forgot to take off his cloak and ended up sweating profusely. Only then did he realize that his undergarments were completely wet.
Stepping out of the Kunning Palace gate, a biting wind blew, chilling me to the bone.
His anger was raging, and the three snowmen seemed even more irritating to him. He stepped forward and stomped them to the ground.
The family of three in her mind did not include him.
