Favoring a Hidden Mistress? Engagement Broken-Chapter 129 - 102:

This thought just flashed through her mind, and she instinctively frowned, "I don’t want this! I don’t want to have even the slightest entanglement with you anymore."

His fingertips were still moving slowly, and Xie Wanqing was somewhat impatient. Unable to pull her fingers away, she simply used her nails to pinch him.

She didn’t hold back in the slightest, her neatly trimmed nails almost digging into his flesh.

The strands of pain spread through him, yet Lu Ziyuan was not annoyed. Instead, an unusual light appeared in his eyes as he bent down to peck at her fingertips, startling Xie Wanqing into screaming.

Hearing her voice brought him back to some sense. His flushed eyes slightly lifted as he smiled lightly at her and sighed, "Wanwan, you’re right. I do seem to be a bit of a beast."

His voice was hoarse, tinged with a trace of lingering affection, the final syllable slightly rising, along with his stern face, giving off a lively and fragrant aura.

But Xie Wanqing was not in the least seduced. She was already stunned, her expression truly beyond words.

Panic, aversion, disgust, and disbelief that such shameless people exist in the world.

Such shameless people indeed exist in the world!

"Don’t look at me like that," Lu Ziyuan, thick-skinned as he was, felt no embarrassment, only a bit of discomfort.

Combining two lifetimes, he had abstained for so long that even his soul longed to hold her.

If he weren’t afraid of angering her, he could have acted more recklessly. By now, he would have already...

"If you knew what you mean to me, you would understand that we are destined to be intertwined for life."

His gaze was focused, his eyes still carrying a few remnants of lustful redness. "I can never accept you as someone else’s wife, Wanwan, divorce him."

When he said this, his demeanor was considered calm, but the obstinacy within was enough to send a chill through one’s heart.

Xie Wanqing first stiffened all over, then a wave of unspeakable anger arose.

"What if I refuse?" she said. "Whether you can accept it has nothing to do with me. Why should I divorce because of a word from you?"

Lu Ziyuan pursed his lips, quietly watching her.

Xie Wanqing fearlessly met his gaze and laughed, "What do you plan to do if I refuse to divorce?"

The room quieted down, and the person opposite did not speak for a long time.

Xie Wanqing continued, "Are you planning to keep me here for a few days, waiting for rumors to spread through Capital City until my reputation is ruined before releasing me, forcing Pei Yuqing to abandon me, and then take me back in the guise of a savior?"

"No, no, no," she said, shaking her head repeatedly with a cold smile. "With your ways, you might be even more ruthless."

Lu Ziyuan’s eyes turned cold, "Shut up!"

Of course, Xie Wanqing wouldn’t shut up. She glared at his icy expression and said word by word, "Beast, are you planning to rape a decent woman?"

"..." Lu Ziyuan clenched his jaw, unexpectedly amused by her.

"Is it on purpose to provoke me? It doesn’t matter. You can make your accusations even more outrageous; anyway, I’m willing to be a beast in front of you."

He cupped her chin and lifted it, looking down at her with a smile. "Have you forgotten how this beast can make you feel so good?"

"Good?" Xie Wanqing also smiled slightly, saying, "I only feel disgusted."

...Disgusted.

Lu Ziyuan took a deep breath, his fingers grasping her chin trembling slightly.

After a long while, he managed to suppress all his emotions, and his voice softened.

"What will it take for you to be willing to divorce him? Should I kneel down and beg you?"

He paused and said, "No matter how much I owe you, it’s a matter between the two of us. You can decide how to punish me, just don’t involve a third person; it’s pointless." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

He couldn’t bear for there to be a third person between them.

Even though that person hadn’t touched her.

Yet they shared a bed for three days, which was an irrefutable fact.

She cohabited with another man, facing each other day and night.

They even shared intimate kisses in the carriage.

This was something he happened to witness once, but in the places he couldn’t see, how many such instances of intimacy might have occurred every day they were together?

The man who hadn’t been moved by repeated cold sarcasm was now provoked by his own imaginings, his expression changed.

But Xie Wanqing was completely unaware. She said, "You should give up. No matter what, I won’t willingly divorce him. My entanglement with you ended completely in our past lives. Now, I just want to live peacefully."

The truth of past lives may be strange, may be hateful, but regardless of the truth, she had already died once. She was too tired.

Love, hate, resentment, grievance... those emotions were too complex. She didn’t want to experience them again.

"Why?" Lu Ziyuan showed confusion, "Your marriage to him wasn’t—"
