Favoring a Hidden Mistress? Engagement Broken-Chapter 105 - 93: Why?
Why?
Xie Wanqing’s eyes were cold, but she said nothing.
She didn’t know when it started, but she had lost the desire to express herself to him, no longer hoping to get any feedback from him.
She understood long ago that arguing was useless.
Perhaps when one day she is completely cold to all of this, when the last bit of reluctance disappears, she will have the courage to propose leaving.
Lu Ziyuan had no idea that the girl in his arms was already contemplating leaving, but her prolonged silence was enough to signal her dissatisfaction.
Forcing her to go to the family temple has already left her so aggrieved...
He thought for a moment, his arms tightened slightly, and he leaned close to her ear.
"Is it that hard to part with Erqing? She’s just a maid. If you need someone to serve you, I will arrange it for you."
"I don’t like strangers serving me closely." Xie Wanqing turned her head to avoid his closeness and said, "I’ve already grown accustomed to Erqing attending to me."
Habituated...
Lu Ziyuan’s eyes darkened slightly, feeling somewhat displeased, but after pondering for a few moments, he still agreed: "Fine, then let Erqing accompany you to the family temple."
He pinched her waist and laughed softly, "Don’t worry, I’ve already made the arrangements. I won’t let you lead a hard life there."
—He thought she was crying so bitterly because she feared worshipping Buddha and living as a vegetarian.
Xie Wanqing grasped the hand causing chaos around her waist, "I’m a bit tired, can I rest now?"
Tomorrow they would separate, and it would be months before they saw each other again, tonight was their last intimate moment.
Yet her words were cold, devoid of any tenderness.
The heart, already somewhat displeased, sank even further.
Lu Ziyuan’s face turned sullen, he grasped her hand, casually playing with her delicate fingers.
Xie Wanqing tried to pull back her hand, but he held it tightly with no effort.
She furrowed her brow, looked up at him, and the moment their gazes met, her heart skipped a beat.
His gaze was slightly frightening.
It was as if she unwittingly touched his reverse scale...
Xie Wanqing’s eyelashes trembled slightly in fear, but Lu Ziyuan only lowered his head to place a kiss on her forehead.
Both his expression and actions were extremely calm.
He raised his hand to caress her eyes, whispering, "Wanwan seems a bit changed, I remember before..."
"Isn’t this supposed to be a good thing?" Xie Wanqing lowered her eyes, her tone gentle: "You’re right, I’m impulsive, I should’ve learned to be more mature earlier."
Lu Ziyuan: "..."
He was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly smiled, "Still holding grudges, huh."
With that, he gently flicked her nose, leaned down, and kissed her, saying, "Just be mature for these few months, stay obediently at the family temple, don’t go anywhere, don’t see anyone, wait for me to return to the Capital."
"Alright?"
The words were a bit puzzling, as if he wanted to lock her away, isolating her from all external prying.
Xie Wanqing heard this and furrowed her brows slightly, instinctively wanting to ask why, but the words turned on her tongue, and when she faced his encouraging gaze, she stopped.
Why could it be...
Hot and cold, it’s his usual tactic.
Hit her, yet want her to gladly welcome it with her face.
He really is a talent, using both kindness and authority skillfully.
Xie Wanqing took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the heart that always, because of his every move, couldn’t help but sprout some expectations, she nodded lightly, "Okay."
She agreed, yet Lu Ziyuan’s gaze seemed slightly darkened.
He said, "Won’t you ask me why?"
Why?
Xie Wanqing pressed her lips and remained silent.
She had asked why many times before.
Before Liu Manrou entered the mansion, she wanted to ask him about everything regarding her.
At that time, he said that she should be more generous, stop always bickering about minor details.
Later on, Liu Manrou entered the mansion and within half a month was reported to be pregnant, she tried to get an explanation from him again.
He dismissed it with the reasoning that Liu Manrou was the second wife.
The second wife’s pregnancy, what relevance did it have to her as the first wife?
Later, he wanted to elevate Liu Manrou.
That was her last attempt to get an answer, but he still did not provide one.
Not only did he not provide one, he also took in Er Xia.
Now what could she ask?
The two had already reached a situation of speechlessness, only silence remained.
Lu Ziyuan waited, never hearing her voice, his boiling anger finally couldn’t be suppressed, he held her waist and flipped over her.
He leaned down and looked at the girl beneath him, biting his teeth as he smiled: "Where did you learn to ignore people?"
The voice carried a few traces of wrathfulness, Xie Wanqing trembled upon hearing it, and was grasped by him to lift her chin.
"Speak up!"
The moment their eyes locked, his kiss landed, passionate and intense.
The frustration suppressed throughout the night erupted in this kiss.
Xie Wanqing’s hands were tightly held by him, pinned above her head, completely powerless to resist anything he gave.
