Marry

90

Wen Ning fell into his arms, her face flushed, and she tried to stand up with her hands, but he gently held her down.

She held her breath, feeling his increasingly unrestrained gaze, her heart pounding in her chest, and she felt that the atmosphere in the whole room became ambiguous.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yunci looked at her, his eyes deep and smiling, revealing real tenderness and patience, as if even if Wen Ning didn't answer or refuse, he would still wait for her answer calmly.

Wen Ning looked at him, moved slightly, and still struggled to get up.

Xiao Yunci finally let go.

Wen Ning originally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was finally a little further away from Xiao Yunci, but she found that Xiao Yunci actually followed her movements and slowly stood up, resting his wrist on his bent knees, looking at her with a faint smile, still as close to her as before.

Wen Ning swallowed her saliva, looked him in the eye carefully, and said softly, "Your Highness, can I ask you a question?"

"Speak." Xiao Yunci responded simply.

"When I was chosen for the marriage, Qi Weiming pleaded for me. How much of his sincerity was that? How much of it was for the status of Duke Qi's Mansion? How much of it was for his own career? Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yunci raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who told you about this?"

Wen Ning looked at his reaction. He seemed not surprised at all by her question, as if he had known about it for a long time but just hadn't said it.

"Mrs. Qian? She said so." Wen Ning said softly.

"What do you think?" Xiao Yunci asked.

"If it was in the past, I would definitely not believe it." Wen Ning slowly clenched her fists, "But now I feel that what they said is not without reason. Zhou Mingyan is already pregnant. According to the date, Qi Weiming had already spent the bridal chamber with her on the wedding day. But not long after, he still claimed to be sincere in front of me. Now it seems that he was lying."

"How can a person love two people at the same time?" Wen Ning said.

Xiao Yunci looked at her quietly and smiled faintly, "So many people cannot be called human beings."

Wen Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she understood what he meant.

"I did understand his character at the beginning, but I couldn't tell you directly." Xiao Yunci slowly approached her and whispered in her ear, "After all, I am his rival in love. How can a rival in love use such means to compete with each other?"

Wen Ning was stunned, turned to look at him, and almost bumped into his cheek.

Xiao Yunci grabbed her waist with one hand to prevent her from leaving.

"Love rival..." Wen Ning's breathing trembled, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

"I want you to love me willingly." Xiao Yunci said, "Instead of turning to me because he is not a good person."

Wen Ning finally understood?

——It turned out that he had known Qi Weiming's thoughts for a long time, but he did not expose them. Instead, he gave Qi Weiming the greatest benefit, which was like a compensation to Qi Weiming by marrying her.

It is a pity to take something from someone. Since Qi Weiming received a favor from Xiao Yunci, he should not make too many excessive demands.

But I didn't expect Qi Weiming to reach this point. Even though he had already married someone else, he was still thinking about Wen Ning.
