Chapter 256

There was no blame, no complaints, just concern, which made Xie Wan Ning's nose suddenly sore.

She shook her head gently, tears welling up in her eyes due to guilt.

Xie Yanyu and Ji Chengfeng had already retreated, and the maids who were serving them also left quietly.

There were only two of them left in the huge courtyard.

Pei Yuqing wanted to hug her, but her belly was so big that he had no idea where to start.

"Don't stand," he said in a hoarse voice. After helping her sit down slowly, he asked, "How many months has it been?"

It was a ridiculous scene.

They used to be husband and wife, and even the last time they met, they were whispering in each other's ears and showing deep affection.

When they met again, she was pregnant with someone else's child, and he could calmly ask her how many months the baby was.

Xie Wan Ning swallowed and answered dryly.

Seeing her embarrassment, Pei Yuqing sighed softly, carefully held her hand, and said, "I don't blame you."

The moment she finished speaking, Xie Wan Ning could no longer hold back her tears and her emotions got a little out of control. She cried and kept saying sorry.

Pei Yuqing had never seen this spoiled girl cry like this before, and suddenly became a little panicked.

"Stop crying." He raised his hand to wipe away her tears, but her almond-shaped eyes, which were usually bright and flamboyant, were now like a waterfall and she couldn't stop crying at all. After coaxing her for a few words, he had no other choice but to stand up, walk in front of her, and press her face into his waist.

"I really don't blame you," he lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid to scare her, very gently, "You are just a little girl, in that situation, no matter what happened, it's not your fault."

You can't even blame Lu Ziyan.

If it weren't for Lu Ziyan, his Wanwan would have been abducted to the Jin Kingdom by now.

Although he spoke righteously to Lu Ziyan, saying that the source of everything was because of him.

But only Pei Yuqing himself knew how much he hated his own incompetence. If he had been more ruthless, if he had not been delayed and had returned to Beijing within March as promised, his Wanwan would not have experienced this.

She will not be abducted by Jin Wuji, nor will she be rescued by Lu Ziyan.

In this way, she would not change her opinion of Lu Ziyan because of the life-saving grace, and she would not run away from Lu Ziyan because of the guilt and self-blame towards him.

She had grown up in a honey pot and was used to a life of luxury. She had never suffered the humiliation of falling into the hands of the enemy.

The person who rescued her was Lu Ziyan, so it was normal for her to change her opinion of him.

Pei Yuqing saw it very clearly. This girl was willing to abandon her identity and family, give up the honorable position that was within her reach, and flee from the Northland, just for him.

Now, it was a blessing for her to be standing in front of him alive, so how could he bear to blame her?
child……

Whether the child is Lu Ziyan's, or...someone else's, it doesn't matter.

What matters is that she is still alive.

Xie Wan Ning was crying out of breath, and he pressed her waist and abdomen, making her cry become muffled.

Soon, the gold beans stopped falling.

Pei Yuqing let go of the person and slowly squatted down.

He was very tall, and when he squatted down he was at eye level with her.

The moment their eyes met, Xie Wan Ning looked away with a guilty look on her face, "Aren't you angry?"

She said in a difficult tone, "This is Lu Ziyan's child."

After he finished speaking, Pei Yuqing's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

...Just now he even made the worst plan.
