Chapter 186 - 138:
He exerted a great force, using an irresistible strength, holding her hand, slowly guiding it downwards.
"Be good, touch me first."
"..." Xie Wanqing held her breath, refusing to touch that thing no matter what.
But the difference in their strength was overwhelming, and her hand continued to be pressed down...
Finally, she could no longer hold it in.
"Do you really have to do this!"
Her voice was hoarse, sounding as if she was about to cry, Lu Ziyuan frowned slightly, lowering his eyes to look at her.
He saw her little mouth continue to open and close.
"Lu Ziyuan, do you really have to bully people like this?"
Her eyes were red, tears were about to fall at any moment.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyuan frowned even more deeply.
He didn’t know how she could accuse him of only being lustful; to him, she only knew how to cry.
"What are you wronged about?" He squeezed her palm and said, "If this is me bullying you, haven’t you bullied me?"
Such unreasonable words made Xie Wanqing glare at him.
Lu Ziyuan leaned close, his voice very light, "Wanwan, you have those memories, you first awakened the memories of your past life, remembering you are my wife, we were husband and wife for two years, our feelings for each other unresolved, yet you can turn around and marry someone else, isn’t that bullying?"
"I made a mistake, and you refuse to forgive with a heart of stone, yet that sickly man deceives you, and you are understanding, unwilling to blame!"
As he spoke, the bitterness he barely suppressed surged forth once more.
"Now you tell me to part on good terms, each finding our peace," he grinded his molars asking her, "how can I find peace without you?"
"Then what do you want! If not to part peacefully, what do you want?" Xie Wanqing exclaimed, "I have never wronged you, never owed you anything, why can’t you just let me go!"
"On what grounds can you compare with Pei Yuqing, he never forced me, I proposed marriage to him, and the consummation was of my own will,"
She never intended to provoke him, but at this moment, she was so enraged her mind went blank.
"If it weren’t for your interference on the night of the wedding, we would have long consummated, there wouldn’t be a need to wait till now! What right do you have to be angry, what right do you have to demand an explanation from me!"
"Shut up!" Lu Ziyuan suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, knuckles turning white with force, chest heaving rapidly, looking terrifying.
But Xie Wanqing was already overwhelmed by anger, unable to stop, not caring about fear, she sneered, "What does it matter if Pei Yuqing deceives me, it’s better than you never caring about my will and humiliating me!"
She looked at her wrist being held, and his exposed chest, face full of disgust: "I only find you disgusting."
Disgusting again!
Always saying he’s disgusting!
Lu Ziyuan’s expression grew colder and colder.
"Where am I disgusting?" His voice was fierce, "He deceives you and it’s not disgusting? Why so lenient towards that old man?"
Xie Wanqing sneered, too lazy to pay him any mind.
"Wake up! Don’t be fooled by his facade of gentleness and consideration!"
He lifted her chin, bluntly stating the reality she refused to accept, "Last night he did it on purpose, deliberately using the aphrodisiac powder, making you take the initiative to consummate! Just to make me regret, to make me suffer!"
Xie Wanqing was forced to lift her face, their eyes met.
She could clearly see the anger and despair in his eyes.
She had never seen him like this, not even on the night of the wedding.
Xie Wanqing thought, Pei Yuqing indeed played a clever game.
The strategy to attack the heart was masterful.
Because of what happened last night, the person before her was nearly driven mad with jealousy.
He really understood the human heart, and understood human nature.
She even suspected, was the current scene also within his machinations.
...Too terrifying.
Plot after plot, she was always included in them.
The love he spoke of, did it really exist?
If he really loved her, how could he allow another man to intrude on their wedding night?
If he really loved her, how could their consummation be based on a lie?
She trusted him so much, every time trusted him so much.
Being deceived again, made Xie Wanqing feel that her heart, which could no longer invest in abundant feelings, grew even more weary.
Both marriages rendered her powerless.
One was a husband from a past life, aloof and untamed, never showing warm emotions; they experienced numerous misunderstandings, no matter his intentions, those painful experiences were genuinely felt, she lost a life in his hands, the broken mirror never to be whole again.
One is her current husband, gentle and indulgent, seeming to respect her opinions in everything, yet he would scheme against a rival on their wedding night, even the consummation was shrouded in lies, she didn’t know if she dared trust him again in the future.
And they both claimed to love her with all their hearts.
Such love, who can bear it?
"Wanwan," Lu Ziyuan tightened his grip on her hand and said, "You can’t harden your heart against only me, he used you to get at me, you should be fair and make him pay too."
Use...
Xie Wanqing pondered these two words, her heart felt as if it was fiercely struck by something heavy, the pain instinctively made her shrink her neck, wanting to bend over, but they were too close, bending over seemed like throwing herself into his arms.
She took a deep breath, her gaze falling once again on the intertwined hands of the two.
His clothes were already open, muscles on his abdomen smooth and pleasing to the eye from constant martial arts practice, his hand pressed hers against the area below his navel...
She turned her face away, wanting to pull her hand back.
After failing, she suddenly laughed.
"Even if Pei Yuqing did it on purpose, it’s because he was unsatisfied with your entanglement with me, so he chose to turn the tables on you using your own tactics."
"You can say he used me," she pressed the tense muscles with her finger, mocking, "then what difference is there between you and him now?"
Lu Ziyuan’s whole body stiffened suddenly, his grip unconsciously weakened.
"Whether you admit it or not, I’m his wife, what you’re doing to me now, is it to use the same means to retaliate?"
"You want to humiliate him, so you choose to also humiliate me," her eyes were icy, "the only difference is, he deceived me by turning tactics, and you, outright wanted to use force."
"Don’t wrong a person like that!" The hatred in her eyes was too glaring, Lu Ziyuan maintained a stern face, saying, "I never thought that way!"
"Is that so?" Xie Wanqing moved her wrist.
Seemed to be asking, ’What are you doing now?’
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, neither wanting to yield.
In the end, Lu Ziyuan let go.
Even knowing she was saying all this to stop him, he couldn’t ignore what she said.
Anyway, he couldn’t let her think this way about him!
He said, "In my heart, we are the ones who are truly married, no matter how intimate, it is right and proper, not a means to humiliate Pei Yuqing."
Xie Wanqing neither agreed nor disagreed.
He added, "I won’t touch you, and you don’t anger me again."
