Chapter 294:
“Yes, I’m worried about you,” Xie Wanning couldn’t bear to see his indifferent appearance, so she smiled at him too: “You’re taking our mother and son back to the capital city, letting us step into a place of strife like the capital city. If you die young, I can’t protect Ran’er, of course I have to worry about you.”
The worry was real.
The reluctance to admit it was purely because of the worry, that was real too.
Lu Ziyan’s expression on his face gradually stiffened, he looked at her deeply, then suddenly smiled.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you,” his palm gathered around her waist, “No one can hurt you even a hair.”
“Don’t play tricks,” Xie Wanning wasn’t so easily dismissed, “You answer me first, your heart condition…”
“No matter,” Lu Ziyan said indifferently: “Even if I die young, I’ll make sure you’re safe and sound.”
He said it calm and composed, but in Xie Wanning’s ears, it was like a thunderous roar.
“You really have an illness in your body…” Her nose tip turned red all of a sudden, “How many more years can you live exactly!”
Tears quickly welled up in her eyes, ready to drop golden beans at any moment.
Lu Ziyan suddenly panicked, he propped himself up on his arms to sit up, pinched her waist and pulled her into his arms, “Don’t curse me, my hair is a bit white, but I haven’t reached the point of short life yet.”
“Don’t cry,” he lowered his head to kiss her eyes, softening his voice to coax: “If you get angry at me a few less times in the future, I guarantee I’ll even grow back the hair for you, okay?”
“Really?” Xie Wanning climbed onto his neck, her right hand sliding down again to touch his chest, seriously feeling his strong heartbeat for a while, sniffling, “You’re not deceiving me?”
“……Not deceiving you,” Lu Ziyan’s gaze flickered slightly, he kissed her red nose tip, teasing: “So worried about me?”
Xie Wanning was not willing to admit it.
She said: “I don’t want to be a widow.”
Especially the emperor’s widow.
Lu Ziyan’s lip corner twitched slightly, not knowing if he believed it or not.
At this time, Xie Wanning only then discovered how intimate their current position was.
She was straddling his waist and abdomen, her lower back held tight by his single hand, her whole body pressed into his arms.
And he had one hand propping the bed, one hand holding her waist, just half-lying there, his eyelid slightly lifted, looking at her obliquely.
Xie Wanning swallowed, saying dryly: “Let me down, didn’t you just want to leave? Ran’er is back, you can go now.”
As the words fell, the hand on her lower back not only didn’t loosen, but tightened even more.
Lu Ziyan raised his eyebrow slightly, “What if I don’t want to let go?”
Just now he was fully convinced this was her love nest with that pretty boy, so he couldn’t stay a moment longer.
And now in Lu Ziyan’s eyes, this place was merely where his wife and son had lived for four years.
How could it be the same.
This side room, this bed, even the bedding, all carried her breath.
As long as he thought of this, his whole body became scorching hot, unable to generate any intention to leave.
“It’s late, how about we rest here for the night?” Lu Ziyan’s adam’s apple slid up and down, his voice hoarse: “Wanwan, it’s been so long, I miss you so much…”
That pair of eyes that had darkened at some point locked onto her tightly, the desire in his eyes plain to see.
Staring until Xie Wanning’s face flushed red.
Before she could reply, her wrist was gripped by him, probing into his lapel.
“Aren’t you worried about my body?” His tone was seductive, “You must check it thoroughly.”
Hearing this, Xie Wanning, who had still been a bit reluctant, immediately became serious.
Without needing him to pull, she proactively probed downward herself.
Her scallion-tip-like fingertip made the touched muscles tense instantly wherever it passed.
Soon, it slid past the scorching hot chest, landing on his lean and powerful waist and abdomen.
