Favoring a Hidden Mistress? Engagement Broken-Chapter 131 - 103: The Love That Suffocates

He rubbed the tip of his nose against hers, brushing her lips, filled with both hatred and jealousy.

"What does he have to compare with me? Why do you transfer your affections to him?" He grasped her hand, pressing it against his chest, "It hurts here, it’s hurt for so many years, please don’t let it hurt anymore, okay?"

The heartbeat under his palm was fast, Xie Wanqing finally managed to take a breath, she closed her eyes slightly, and didn’t speak for a moment.

Lu Ziyuan looked down at her for a while, then couldn’t resist seeking out her lips again, kissing them gently.

He was obsessed with this feeling of intimacy with her.

As the kiss nearly spiraled out of control, the hand wrapped around the girl’s waist moved restlessly, settling on the belt, and Xie Wanqing could clearly hear his swallowing, as if hesitating over something.

In the end, that hand paused for a long time, without moving.

He buried his face in her neck, striving to calm the turmoil in his body, as if holding his most precious treasure, with not the slightest intention of loosening his arms around the girl in his embrace.

Smelling the sweet fragrance on the girl, he swallowed slightly, breathing low, only feeling intense pain from holding back.

...

In the empty room, only the man’s heavy breathing remained, Xie Wanqing slowly raised her hand to wipe her lips, eyes slightly closed, before her hand was caught.

Lu Ziyuan didn’t even raise his head, still buried in her neck and shoulder, yet as if he had eyes, he directly caught her right hand, pulling out a jade hairpin from her sleeve.

"Be good, I’m feeling really uncomfortable now, don’t provoke me." He paused, his voice hoarse, "And don’t move, not at all."

His threat was very effective, having her jade hairpin taken, Xie Wanqing indeed dared not move.

She stiffly leaned her body against the window, the man in front of her pressed so close, almost without a gap, his warm breath vaporizing over her neck and ears.

His hand was even on her belt, as if he intended to act directly if he couldn’t resist.

How could she dare to move!

After a long while, the sound of breathing near her ear calmed, Xie Wanqing lowered her eyes slightly and spoke, "What will it take for you to let me go?"

"Why don’t you consider, what would make you willing to divorce from that sickly man and marry me again."

Lu Ziyuan touched her neck’s soft skin with his lips, sighed, "Do you know, there’s a kind of poisonous flower in the Western Regions, its seeds can make people addicted, make them mad, unable to stay away, I deliberately took it... but found, compared to you, it’s nothing."

She is his addiction.

Indelible.

Saying this, he even took a deep breath obsessively, Xie Wanqing broke out in goosebumps.

Her entire body turned cold.

In the last few months of her life in her previous life, the feeling of helplessness and depression surrounding her heart swept over her again.

That sense of powerlessness seemed to completely drown her life.

She felt as if there was no trace of light left in her life, only endless darkness.

In this life, she couldn’t escape his confinement, just like now, only able to let him kiss, let him embrace.

In her past life, she brought this suffering on herself, she deserved it.

But what did she do wrong in this life?

She already knew her mistakes, so why couldn’t he just let her go!

Even though she hurriedly married someone else, even though she inexplicably lost a life at his hands in her past life.

Even though she owed him nothing from start to finish, he still wouldn’t let her go!

The man continued to obsessively kiss her neck, making it hard for her to ignore.

Xie Wanqing truly felt what it means to be annoyed and tired.

Unable to escape, unable to struggle, utterly desperate...

She closed her eyes for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"How can you compare to him?"

She laughed until tears came out, no longer pulling back to avoid his kiss, instead leaning her lips close to his ear, whispering, "Lu Ziyuan, do you even look at yourself, what kind of thing you are, how can you compare to him!"

The breath on Lu Ziyuan’s neck paused, his aura imposing, yet Xie Wanqing did not fear.

She said, "Pei Yuqing is gentle in disposition, upright and steady, consistent inside and out, never using the natural advantage of a man’s strength to bully a girl, he never forced me."

"And you?" The man in front of her gradually stiffened, Xie Wanqing’s lips curled into a cold smile, "You bully me, humiliate me, deceive me, betray me, yet you dare say you love me, Lu Ziyuan, is this how you love people?"

"Using your body that’s constantly in heat?"

"Does such love even exist in this world?"

"Your love suffocates me."

She choked up, "I’ve already given a life for you, why can’t you just let me go?"

"Why can’t you just let me go!"

Her usually lively and playful voice questioned sharply.

Lu Ziyuan finally raised his head from her neck, his eyes somehow already crimson, pausing when he saw her face full of tears.

"Don’t cry..." He realized the gravity of his actions, hesitated for a moment before hurriedly letting her go, his expression dismayed, "Did I hurt you?"

The man in front of her stepped back several paces, his imposing aura relaxed as well, and Xie Wanqing’s nearly collapsing heart found a breath.

She smiled slightly, "Look at yourself in the mirror, see what compares to Pei Yuqing."

"You like that type?" Lu Ziyuan’s expression was unpleasant, "I’m not as courteous and genteel as him, if you like, I can try to change..."

"Don’t even think about it," she wiped her tears with her sleeve, her misty eyes stared directly at him, "In this life, in all eternity, I can never like you again, never be with you again, never forgive you."

"I will always remember that you owe Erqing a life." Xie Wanqing said, "I died in the Lu Family, I deserved it, I chased after you to marry you, brought it on myself, but Erqing shouldn’t, Erqing is innocent." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"The two years with you have already exhausted all my passion, you asked what I like about Pei Yuqing?" She smiled faintly, "I can relax when I’m with him, I am willing to be with him, even if he is impotent, even if he is frail, even if you ruined his face, I will still like him."

...

A death-like silence.

Such a heartless statement, Lu Ziyuan quietly listened to it, his gaze trembled slightly, seemingly his whole body was trembling.

Outside the window, it had completely darkened, inside only the light from two pots of charcoal fire flickered, the two faced each other in the gloom.

The jade hairpin had already been taken away by him, Xie Wanqing no longer had the strength to hurt anyone, yet if he dared to force her again, she was ready to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

She would no longer be at his mercy, would no longer let him grow aroused over her.

The eerie silence lasted a long time.

In the dark, Lu Ziyuan suddenly moved, Xie Wanqing tensed her entire body, secretly guarded, only to see him turn to the candlestick, draw out a lighter from somewhere, igniting the red candle, the warm candlelight illuminated the darkness, Xie Wanqing stiffly stood by the window, motionless.
