Chapter 189 I have never seen such a concubine
After settling the little girl properly, Lu Ji went out to see Wang Fengyi. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the inner room, he looked up and saw her sitting on a chair in the outer room.
Facing the inner room.
The door to the inner room had never been closed, and from where she sat, she had a clear view of what was going on inside.
Lu Ji subconsciously turned his head and glanced towards the inner room. Seeing that the little girl had fallen asleep, he raised his hand to close the door of the inner room, and sat down on the armchair opposite Wang Fengyi with a normal expression.
I know that Lu Ji dotes on Qin Xiaoning, but I didn't expect that he dotes on her to this extent in private. The little girl looks docile on weekdays, but when facing Lu Ji in private, she is so unscrupulous.
I have never seen a man doting on his concubine like this, and I have never seen a concubine who took advantage of his doting so much and became so arrogant.
Angry, annoyed, and aggrieved.
Wang Fengyi was sitting in the outer room, watching the situation between the two people inside. Several times, she almost couldn't help but rush in to argue.
At this moment, this man knew clearly that he had seen it, yet he remained calm and not even a bit ashamed.
"I never thought my cousin would be so gentle when pampering women in private." Wang Fengyi smiled faintly, "Oh! It's true that even a hero can't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman."
Ms. Wang could no longer hold back and her tone was filled with sarcasm.
Lu Ji raised his eyes to look at her and retorted, "That's nothing. Today she was naughty, and I was quite cold to her. Normally, this prince dotes on her to no end. I really want the stars but not the moon."
The man is born to be soft-hearted and not to be tough. He is as unruly as a wild horse. The little gentleness and patience he has is only towards young girls. If other women do not provoke him, he will treat them with courtesy. But if they go against him, this man will be unruly to the end and will not show any mercy at all.
Glancing at Wang Fengyi's face that was gradually turning pale with anger, Lu Ji sneered and continued, "Why, cousin, you can't tolerate this? The daughter of Wang Clan of Langya has always been dignified and virtuous. If you don't even have this much tolerance, how can you be a wife of my Lu family?"
It was full of sarcasm and was simply cruel.
Wang Fengyi laughed in anger: "I'm afraid my cousin doesn't see me as a wife of the Lu family. Isn't it just to force me to cancel this marriage by provoking me with such provocative words?"
The man leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said calmly: "When we got engaged, it was your Wang family who first proposed it. My Lu family was forced by the situation and only agreed reluctantly. You are not unaware of this."
As he spoke, he looked up at Wang Fengyi and said, "I have said it before, this prince only likes Ah Ning. My cousin knew there were tigers in the mountain, but she chose to go there. Why, do you regret it now?"
The cold and arrogant man, with his nonchalant laziness, is dignified yet indifferent, like a fairy in the sky or the moon in the water, seemingly out of reach, yet so addictive.
Wang Fengyi glanced at the man, her chest heaving with anger, but she was just trying to hold it in. Seeing this, Lu Ji still refused to give in and continued, "I don't care whether you cancel the engagement or not. Anyway, I've already made it clear to you that I just like Ah Ning and I want to pamper her. If you can tolerate it, then marry her. If you can't tolerate it, then it's up to you."
When Wang Fengyi heard yesterday that Lu Ji suddenly took Qin Xiaoning away from the mountaintop villa, she felt uneasy.
Once you fall in love with someone, it's hard to keep your heart.
Although she knew that Lu Ji didn't love her, she still couldn't help but want to come over and take a look.
As if by some strange coincidence.
There is no reason, I just can't stand these two people leaving my sight.
When she came, Wang Fengyi had already made plans. She said she heard that Qin Xiaoning was ill and came to visit. She even brought a root of old mountain ginseng. She wanted to be virtuous in front of the man. She knew it was a very lowly act, but she still couldn't control herself.
She didn't expect to see Lu Ji and Qin Xiaoning interacting so affectionately when she came here. She couldn't hold it in and started quarreling with Lu Ji again.
She felt sad, wronged, and vaguely regretful. Despite the man's ruthlessness, she still couldn't control her love for him.
"I am your legitimate fiancée after all, and you treat me like this?"
It was an unpleasant argument, but in the end, Wang Fengyi was the first to bend down and give in: "Lu Ji, I know it's mean to chase you like this, but is it a sin to fall in love with someone?"
She had tears in her eyes, but she tried to control her emotions, and her tone was pleading: "Lu Ji, can't you just give me a chance and let's get along well, okay?"
The man was born into a noble family and received the best etiquette education since childhood. Naturally, he was not ignorant of etiquette and human nature.
Although he did not like this woman, if she did not go against him, Lu Ji would not have to be ungraceful to annoy her.
"It's not that I won't give you a chance."
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Lu Ji also softened his tone. He raised his back from the chair and looked at Wang Fengyi opposite him: "You know that I only like Ah Ning, why are you so stubborn?"
Before Lu Ji could finish, Wang Fengyi said anxiously, "I know you like her, but she is an orphan. Can she be the wife of a noble family? Can you live your whole life without getting married and having children?"
"Cousin, you should know that even if I am not here, there will be other noble ladies who will marry in. Could it be that others are better than me?"
This woman is competitive by nature.
"This is not a question of strength or not." Lu Ji frowned and said earnestly, "If someone is willing to marry into the family, what does it have to do with you? Why do you care about these things? You also said that for a woman to marry is like reincarnation. You are such a good girl, so capable, why don't you find someone who truly loves and respects you?"
"In short, I am definitely not your good man."
Although Lu Ji didn't like this competitive, stubborn and old-fashioned woman, he didn't want to harm her secretly.
Knowing that he would marry her, he would not have any patience to deal with her. Instead of this, Lu Ji hoped that she would take the initiative to cancel the engagement. This way, her reputation would not be damaged, and he and Qin Xiaoning would no longer have to worry.
After hearing Lu Ji's words, Wang Fengyi fell silent.
Lu Ji thought she was persuaded, and said slowly: "Go back and discuss it with your cousin and his wife. If you want to cancel the engagement, I will go and persuade grandmother and father and mother."
Before Lu Ji could finish, Wang Fengyi suddenly asked, "Why do you always want to break off the engagement with me?"
She raised her eyes to look at Lu Ji, with persistence in her eyes, but also puzzlement: "Lu Ji, you never gave me a chance, how do you know you won't fall in love with me."
I have never seen such a stubborn woman. Seeing that she was still talking endlessly, Lu Ji waved his hand impatiently: "Don't say anything. Anyway, I have said everything I need to say. If you insist on doing this, I can't do anything about it. But let me be frank. If you dare to have evil thoughts towards Ah Ning out of jealousy, I will not care about any feelings. By then, even if you have become a wife of the Lu family, I will drive you away."
"Why do you think I would harm Miss Qin?" Wang Fengyi hurriedly told Lu Ji: "I'm not that kind of vicious woman."
As she said this, she pushed the gift she brought in front of Lu Ji and said, "Look, I knew that Miss Qin was not feeling well, so I specially brought her some old mountain ginseng. Cousin, believe me, I am a daughter of the Wang family of Langya, and I am definitely not that narrow-minded."
