Free Web NovelChapter 386: Chapter 291
"Pei Yuqing and I were rightfully married through a proper matchmaker, while you, the bandit, are trying to bind me with our past relationship..."
Xie Wanqing grew more and more furious as she spoke.
Indeed, she had been with two men, and couldn’t be considered particularly chaste. If others questioned her purity, she could ignore it, but he had no right!
He was the cause of all this!
For someone who was already another man’s wife, he resorted to any means, using force and coercion.
In this life, even when they shared a room, she was half coerced.
She had been kidnapped by the Jin people and was terrified, but was saved by him. When she couldn’t help but change her view of him, he decisively pressed on step by step.
In such a rundown official residence, he bullied her for the better part of a night.
Did that make him think she was a wanton woman who could easily have a child with any man? freewebnoveℓ.com
"Bastard!" Xie Wanqing couldn’t hold back anymore and reached out to hit him.
But before her hand touched his arm, it was grabbed, and she tumbled straight into his arms.
Lu Ziyuan’s expression was dazed. The mind that could command a battle of hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to have turned into a muddle, completely stalled.
He stared blankly at her.
Five years ago, she had fled just before the end of the year.
The following August or September, as if guided by a mysterious force, he impulsively went to Bianzhou.
That day, she was in the delivery room giving birth.
Ji Chengfeng said the one giving birth inside was his wife.
And indeed, she had been living in the Prefectural Magistrate Mansion’s backyard.
Upon learning she was still alive and had been living in Bianzhou with Ji Chengfeng for five years,
Lu Ziyuan naturally believed she was with Ji Chengfeng.
After all, he was a short-lived ghost whose fate she had forcibly changed.
Surely, there had been many interactions between them unknown to him.
Lu Ziyuan was filled with resentment, nearly coughing up blood, yet he still rushed over without rest.
Upon arriving, the first sight he saw was them intimately embracing.
In his eyes, it only confirmed that their feelings were deep and genuine.
His Wanwan had fallen for another man once more.
But this time, he couldn’t care less about anything else.
The feeling of regaining what he had lost was too overwhelming; he didn’t care about anything as long as she was alive and willing to leave with him.
Even if it was another man’s child, he was willing to accept it.
But what did she say?
Lu Ziyuan’s lips trembled, staring blankly at the woman in his arms. freewёbnoνel.com
The redness in his eyes, which had just faded, began to resurge.
Looking at him, he no longer seemed like the terrifying God of Killing but rather a youth from some family who had been wronged.
Xie Wanqing felt a pang in her chest, and her anger instantly dissipated.
She began to climb onto him, sitting on his lap, cupping his face with both hands, and said, "The child now surnames Xie, named Xie Xiuran, not Ji Xiuran... Do you understand what I mean?"
These nearly revealing words caused Lu Ziyuan’s breath to catch.
"...Mine?"
That look of disbelief made Xie Wanqing speechless, "I’ve only ever had two men; if it’s not yours, could it be Pei Yuqing’s?"
"Or do you think something happened to me on the road, and I was bullied by a villain, which is how the child came about?"
Mentioning villains, Lu Ziyuan’s expression changed drastically.
Afraid he might misunderstand again, Xie Wanqing couldn’t tease him anymore, quickly saying, "I didn’t encounter any villains; after that incident on the boat, everything went smoothly afterward."
Even after several years had passed, the mention of ’the boat’ still couldn’t keep Lu Ziyuan calm.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the girl’s waist in his arms, about to speak when the courtyard was filled with the loud cries of a child.
Xie Xiuran, having returned from the academy, was back.
