Chapter 291 I Didn’t Cuckold You

Seeing that Lu Ji was still silent, Qin Xiaoning snorted coldly and then asked, "I asked you a question, why don't you answer it?"

Lu Ji frowned slightly and glanced at her angry face: "What do you want me to say?"

There was a hint of innocence in his tone.

Qin Xiaoning became even angrier, and she snorted again: "Isn't that what you think?"

She rolled her eyes at Lu Ji: "You have the ability to think, but you don't have the ability to admit it, right?"

After saying this, without waiting for Lu Ji to explain, she walked away with a cold face.

As soon as Qin Xiaoning entered the house, Lu Ji followed him. He stood at the door and looked at him with an expression on his face that was hard to describe.

Qin Xiaoning understood that he must be very angry with her. In the past, he would scold her for a long time if she made a small mistake. Now he was abandoned by her. A man as proud as him must be furious. He must want to slap her twice to vent his anger.

Fortunately, I was pregnant.

Humph! Although he has a temper, he always takes the child into consideration.

Thinking of Lu Ji being humiliated, she actually felt a sense of revenge in her heart.

He always had the upper hand when they were together before, but now, she can finally turn the tide and feel proud.

"Do you feel happy when you make me angry?" Lu Ji looked at her and spoke lightly.

Just like before, none of her little thoughts could escape his sharp eyes.

Qin Xiaoning immediately retracted her thoughts: "I didn't mean to make you angry, it was you who wanted to annoy me. I'm a pregnant woman, I can't just keep being angry with you."

Lu Ji looked at him steadily. Although he didn't say anything, Qin Xiaoning could see that the man was suppressing his anger.

She then continued, "The doctor said that pregnant women should not get angry. It is not good for the fetus."

Lu Ji was amused. He walked up to her and sat down opposite her. He raised his hand and gently pinched her small chin: "What else did the doctor say?"

She took his hand away and turned her head away: "I've said a lot, anyway, pregnant women should not be messed with."

She has a talisman.

Humph! Even if he was angry, what could he do to her?

"Aning--" Hearing the man calling her name gently, Qin Xiaoning subconsciously turned her head, her bright eyes flickering, as bright and moving as before.

The man raised his hand and tucked the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears. His deep eyes were filled with her.

He said, "I'm not here to get angry with you."

Hearing him say this, she looked at him with her watery eyes, and he said again: "You are already pregnant, why don't you go back?"

Qin Xiaoning lowered her head slightly when she heard that, but was lifted up by the man's slender hand: "Look at me."

Although the tone was light, it contained a sense of urgency.

She looked at him with guilt in her eyes, not knowing how to explain.

He also looked at her and said in a low voice: "Do you know how worried I am about you?"

When he said this, tears welled up in the man's eyes uncontrollably. Her heart ached and she turned her head away.

She knew that he was not lying and he was really worried and sad.

At this moment, the guilt hidden deep in Qin Xiaoning's heart finally permeated her emotions.

She choked up and said, "Have you ever thought that I'm not worthy of you?"

After a long while, the man replied truthfully: "I have thought about it."

"But I can't help but miss you."

Her tears finally fell, with a loud bang.

This time, I really cried.

Lu Ji raised his hand to wipe her tears: "Didn't the doctor say that pregnant women can't cry?"

This one was indeed said.

She immediately stopped crying, turned to look at him, and asked, "Do you blame me?" The man did not answer this question, but asked in return, "If I hadn't come to find you, would you have planned to never go back?"

Yes.

But Qin Xiaoning would not admit it.

She just remained silent.

The man rolled his eyes at him, gnashing his teeth secretly, and his voice became colder: "Qin Xiaoning, are you really planning to leave my flesh and blood wandering around?"

She still said nothing.

Telling the truth would irritate him, but telling a lie made her feel a little reluctant.

Just escape in silence.

The man's breathing gradually became heavier, and he pounced on her head again and again. Knowing that he was trying hard to hold back his temper, she wanted to say something to comfort him, but she was really at a loss for words.

After a long time, he smiled.

It was the kind of sneer that came from being extremely angry.

He asked, "Are you still thinking of finding a pretty boy here to be the father of my child?"

"No." Qin Xiao said hurriedly.

Worried that he wouldn't believe her, she stared at him closely and explained again and again: "I swear to God, I have never thought of cheating on you."

"Madam, madam——"

The two were talking in the room when Sister Wang came over and knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xiaoning asked.

When Songzhi returned yesterday, he had already informed the maids in the yard of Lu Ji's origins. After everyone learned of the man's identity, they began to avoid him.

He is the regent who is above everyone else.

I had only heard of it before, but now that I have seen you coming to this small courtyard, who would not be afraid?

Songzhi was worried that Lu Ji would blame her for Qin Xiaoning's escape, so she hid in the side room and refused to come out. So now, no matter whether it was a big or small matter, Sister Wang had to take care of it.

"Madam." Sister Wang did not dare to come into the house. She just stood outside the door and replied hesitantly, "Master Shen is here, waiting at the gate. He said he wants to see you."

Qin Xiaoning cleared her throat and said hesitantly, "This Lord Shen is here to buy my calligraphy, right? Go and tell him, and I'll have someone deliver it to his house someday."

Unfortunately, Sister Wang did not understand Qin Xiaoning's codewords: "Madam, what are you talking about? It is Master Shen Qingshu who often comes to the mansion who wants to see you."

Lu Ji: “.”

His face turned completely dark.

"You, don't misunderstand me." Qin Xiaoning quickly explained: "Shen Qingshu and I are not what you think."

The man's face was so gloomy that it could almost freeze.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous to explain?"

"You're only trying to hide something?" He stared at her, anger already burning in his eyes.

Qin Xiaoning hurriedly said: "Don't hit me, I'm telling you, I'm pregnant."

The little woman learned a lesson. In the past, when she was dating Shen Qingshu, she was slapped by a man. It was a painful lesson.

Lu Ji raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at her, then said coldly: "Since everyone is here, go and meet them."

"I won't see him." Qin Xiaoning glanced at the man's cold face and said aggrievedly, "He and I just bumped into each other by accident in Qianzhou. Although he often comes here, I am innocent."

"I didn't say anything about you." Lu Ji replied.

His tone was still cold and his face was still dark.

Qin Xiaoning knew that the two had always been at odds with each other, so she stammered in a low voice, "I don't want to see him."

Then, he ordered Sister Wang outside the door: "Go and ask Master Shen to leave. Just tell him that I am busy."
