Chapter 272

By then, if the rift reappears, who knows what he will think.

He was the emperor, and there were many women who took the initiative to offer themselves to him.

Now at the age of twenty, because of the imperfections in his previous life, his heart and eyes are obsessed with her alone.

If she went back, all his obsessions would be fulfilled.

When she is in her thirties or forties, as the emperor's power grows, and as she changes from a fresh and lovely girl to a frail woman, who can guarantee that his mentality will not change under the erosion of time and power?

Will there be another woman between them?

Of course, Xie Wan Ning had no doubt that he loved her the most.

There will never be another woman who will make him worry, spit blood, or grow old before his time.

But, that's not what she wants.

She lacked courage, and with the memories of her past life, she could no longer trust him wholeheartedly.

She couldn't tell how much obsession was mixed in his love for her.

She couldn't believe that he wouldn't change, nor did she believe that he would remain loyal to her until death as the days and years passed.

If by then, half of their lives would have passed and there would be other women around him.

She went from being a little girl in her teens who dared to escape at all costs, to a middle-aged woman in the harem who was pampered with fine clothes and delicious food for many years.

Does she still have the courage to flip the table?
She can't afford to gamble!

All her courage had been used up in her previous life.

In this life, she is a coward.

She believed that Lu Ziyan loved her, and she also believed that Lu Ziyan was willing to die for her at this moment.

But she couldn't believe that his love could allow them to live their whole lives without any grudges against each other.

If she loses, she will be doomed.

She failed to live up to the chance of rebirth given by God and once again put herself in despair.

and so…

"I'm not going back," Xie Wan Ning patted the child's back and said softly, "I like the life now." Xie Yanyu lowered his eyes: "Have you decided?"

"Ah."

"Okay," Xie Yanyu took the child and said with a smile, "My sister wants to live freely, then it's up to you."

Xie Wan Ning's nose was sour, and she blinked desperately, "I'm still in confinement, brother, don't make me cry."

Xie Yanyu felt very wronged, but he didn't dare to argue with her. He comforted her a few times and went out with the child.

Lu Ziyan's arrival was a surprising accident.

But he has returned to Beijing now, and with the intensity with which he keeps a close eye on Pei Yuqing, there's no telling when he might find out that she's not in the capital.

So a few days later, Pei Yuqing also decided to return to Beijing.

Through the window, he said goodbye to Xie Wan Ning outside the window.

Although it was a farewell, silence actually occupied most of the time.

At this point, the two of them have said everything that needs to be said.

The words "deep love but shallow fate" are not enough to describe the story between them.

All I can say is that fate has its way with people.

Not long after Pei Yuqing left, Xie Wan Ning was discharged from confinement.

But the original plan of moving was never implemented.

It’s still because of Lu Ziyan.

They were all afraid that Lu Ziyan's unconventional personality might lead him to leave a backup plan out of concern for his children.

He has too many capable people under his command. If he keeps any one of them, if he knows that the child has moved out of the prefectural government, he will move out with Xie Yanyu...

It is inevitable that Ji Chengfeng is not the child's biological father, but since it is Xie Yanyu's, he will definitely bring the child back to Beijing instead of raising him in Bianzhou.

Even though Xie Wan Ning's death has been confirmed, with so many clues, it is inevitable that he would think too much.

Therefore, Xie Wan Ning had to continue living in the prefectural government.
